Are you a coffee snob?

I used to go to Dunkin and Starbucks for coffee pretty often and get the sweetest thing on the menu but then I started trying local coffee shops, especially while on vacation and slowly over time I realized the others were essentially ice cream and now I appreciate what real coffee is. What about you??

I like a good cup of coffee, and can be fussy about what I drink. I make most of my coffee at home and grind my own beans with an Oxo Conical Burr Coffee Grinder. I drink my coffee black. I like a medium roast coffee. Sometimes I may have a flavored coffee, like hazelnut or french vanilla, and the beans are roasted with the flavor, no syrups.

Yes there are many good local roasters. I found that I like Stumptown Coffee and Intelligentsia coffee. I also like the Eight O'Clock Coffee Colombian Peaks.
