I've gotten used to drinking mine black, and the wonderful, groaning, "damn, I needed that!" feeling has come back for a cup of black coffee.
I also discovered something interesting. I used to have a half shot of brandy in my coffee, for medicinal purposes you see...and it was wonderful. I ran out of brandy. So, I grabbed the bottle of Irish Cream and put in half a shot. With creamer in the coffee, that creates a noxious beverage. However, if you put it into black coffee...I've redefined "Christmas spirits"!
One of the distinct advantages of drinking coffee black is that you can add things to it, like chocolate, cocoa...and Irish Cream.
(I've got a nickel that says Dravyk is now reaching for the Baileys.)
