It's been about 10 years since I drank any kind of coffee except regular coffee. My coffee drinking is down to usually no more than two cups per day,usually one. As long as it is dark and rich, it's okay. I can't stand any type of weak coffee; it jus doesn't taste the same. Anybrand will do. Occasionally I get pretty bad heartburn from the coffee, but I put up with it. I have gone for a couple of days at a time without any coffee, but I start drinking it aggain because I enjoy it.
