I've always been a basic black/bitter, sometimes Irish Cream guy ...
 
I always research the heck out of everything before a purchase, no matter how small the cost.  We live in the boonies and the wife is always going on about the mocha-foamy-whatever coffees she has while she travels.  She saw one of those infomercials for the Ninja Coffee Bar ... She persisted over the next few days while I did research.  Despite the made up technology names, they get decent reviews, so when I saw one for $140 I figured what the heck.
 
Gotta say I really like this thing.  Once you fiddle with settings vs volume vs grounds, it makes a really great cup of specialty coffee.
 
This morning I had an Italian roast on an extra rich setting (which apparently just changes the volume of water used) with 1.5 oz of Irish Cream, topped with hot, foamy milk - no sugar.  Damn tasty.  Prolly not authentic by any "standards" but really damn good for making it in your kitchen out in the boonies.
 
I'm hooked.

This reminds of the time I was writing software to track and bill for an "adult phone chat line". Men paid $4.99 a minute and women were free. 
 
Well one day the newly appointed GM wanted to see what went on the "chat room" when no women were present (i.e. why they would continue to pay $4.99/minute).
 
Three guys were on talking about the pros and cons of their riding mowers.
 

I suppose you wrote your own backdoor so you could listen for free, ya? 

I'm Italian coffee all the way. Can't tolerate Columbian. Illy dark roast is my current favorite. I make it in a French press - simple, quick and a perfect cup every time.

From the artist that taught us to gavotte, we get coffee clouds!

Yes, I'm here for an argument.
No you're not!
