So, I've been drinking coffee for 30 years. While I enjoy a great cup of joe, I don't necessarily NEED a great cup of joe. Maybe it's because I was raised around loggers who were just happy to have coffee and weren't all foo foo about it. I have gotten off coffee many times and always gone back. I use a keurig machine for now, I've used french press systems, I've used standard coffee pots and instant.. it's all fine to me.
