I am identical to you. I use Spenda and creamer every day. I've tried regular milk, almond milk, cashew milk, vanilla extract, etc, but I just can't get away from creamer and artificial sweetener. I've tried drinking black coffee, but just can't do it.

Day 14 is magic, It'll be the best smell ever and you can't wait to get that first cup of black coffee

If you have been drinking Community for years, try the River Road Creole medium-dark roast. Like you, I drank Community Dark for over 40 years. I find the River Road to be a better cup of coffee. It's smoother than the Community, less bitter.

I am out of Community now. I'll be shopping for beans today. No idea if I can find that in Ellic though. Basically I have Kroger, Albertsons and Super Fun.

Probably, but I'm guessing I have never heard of what they have and would have no clue where to begin.

Is this a coffee shop or a sex toy shop?

You have to ask the right question to see the good stuff.

There was no magic, but I was not disgusted. I fear when January is over, I'm just gonna have to go back to Splenda or maybe try Stevia or whatever.

I never liked coffee with cream/sugar, so o just didn't drink it. I made the switch to unsweetened (hate that fricking word) iced tea and after a bit tried black coffee. Loved it and haven't looked back. Bourbon with water if anything and never any sodas...I guess
I'm saying switch everything to 'that word' and you may actually change your taste.

Haven't had a sip of Bourbon this month because of the soda thing. I am hoping this no sugar deal helps me like Bourbon/water more. I'll tell you what though-wine tastes better now than it ever has. I may never have another soda again, ever.

I did not make it. I'm now trying to decide between Stevia and honey. I tried. I failed.

Try a few shots of espresso over ice. It's magical.

Just saw this.

Tamp & Grind does sell Reve Roasters from Lafayette whole bean. Very solid. $12-$13 per pound I believe.

Cold coffee gets put in my I don't understand category like the Kardashians, vehicle accessorizing and IPAs.
