Count me among those who don’t really know how to answer this. I used to drink coffee daily, but now drink maybe once every week or every other week. Good coffee, I prefer unadulterated espresso. Average coffee, I prefer some cream. Bad coffee, I prefer not to drink.
I drink tea much more regularly. I generally like greener oolongs, sometimes green or white tea. Rarely Darjeeling. Pu-erh once in a very great while, kind of like port. Never any other black tea.

I’ve been drinking my coffee black with no sugar since I was about 10. I’d go to work with my dad, he had one thermos, that’s what he drank, and I still drink it that way. I’ve been roasting my own off and on for 30 years or so, and started doing it regularly since I bought an air roaster that will do 1/2 lb. I like to try different origins and usually roast to bring out the best in the coffee. I tend to go towards the darker roasts. I also have an 8’ tall coffee tree that I’ve been growing for about 15 years, and I might have enough beans for a full pot in another 5 years.
I have two or three cups in the morning. In the afternoon and evening I switch to water or tea. Hot black or green tea, hot or iced white tea. I haven’t really found an oolong or pu-erh that I really enjoy.
I quit drinking soda when I retired about 4 years ago. I don’t care for any flavorings in my coffee or in my beer, although a shot of Jamison’s is an occasional treat.
Only 3 votes have come in in the last 3 hours. Likelihood of getting to 300 is low.
Well I guess we’ll just have to wait until the morning then . . . and it doesn’t matter for folks will not agree with in anyways 
Would you also happen to like Piña Coladas? How about the taste of Champagne?
If so, write to me and we’ll escape………I’ll even bring some Bustelo stashed away in the suitcase.

To my knowledge, Guillermo, it’s pretty well known and accepted that at least the consumption of coffee in the origin areas has always been a fraction of what was exported. In Africa / middle east I believe coffee was a thing born from the locals and there was a certain culture even before it was treated as a commodity and vastly traded around.
Didn’t coffee in south and meso america started as a colonial enterprise that employed slaves in the plantations, in order to produce coffe and then bring it back to Europe? That should be taken into account.
On the last affirmation of people from wine country I think the contrary is mostly true: If I went to an average bar sport in the Veneto countryside and tell them there’s a place on the web where americans come to discuss wine they’d start laughing at the idea, saying that Italians were producing wines since ancient Rome while americans were busy shooting at the Indiands untill last week, and then they’ll chugh the nastyest wine produced by friend who does winemaking as a side project.

When I think about “coffee pourist” I can only think in specialty therms, otherwise it can’t really fly imho
Yes
Adding to the above, you also have things like green coffee in the middle east which I expect most western coffee drinkers would not enjoy.
300 replies is a lot for a Berserker Poll. just sayin’
I drink mine with enough fat free milk to make it drinkable without scalding my tongue/mouth.
Yes, but do you like it enough to compose haiku about it? That’s real love when you finally do. I don’t think fat free milk get you tomorrow!
No, but I saved $500 on my car insurance and used the money to stay at a Holiday Inn. No amount of milk would save their coffee.
I’ll second (third?) Cafe Bustello - it’s been our daily drinker for years and I love that the large container is labeled “Party Size!”
Indeed it is - but you have to set the bar, no? And it looks like we will get there soon 
source for this claim?
