I'm sure in a sub entirely devoted to coffee, most of us here have taken the time to either learn to make or at least seek out a really good cup of coffee. Something made with emphasis on sourcing, precision, freshness, brew method, etc seeking to make the best cup of coffee. But has that turned you off of the regular coffee that's out there? Your average bottomless diner cup of coffee? A quick coffee from Starbucks?
As for me, I'll pretty much drink anything. But the more I expose myself to good coffee, the more I find myself wishing my subpar cup was the good stuff. In a way it sucks because I used to just enjoy any coffee not really knowing how good it gets.

I absolutely can't drink diner coffee, gas station coffee, or even coffee from most legit coffee shops. It's all cheap and/or too burnt. The coffee shops I frequent tend to do better with espresso based drinks, so I typically order a mocha. My favorite local places make it just right, meaning I can still taste the espresso and not just chocolate. I've found that if I tell Starbucks to halve the amount of chocolate they put, it's much more palatable.
