Tastes change over the decades. When the wife gets up I grind some medium roast beans in our old cast iron burr grinder and make a liter of coffee in a French press thermos carafe. Mid morning she will have hot water and honey while I have a mug of green tea. By mid day we are over to a mixture of medium roast and decaffeinated. By supper time de-caf only maybe more green tea in the evening.
The only time we put any milk or cream in a hot beverage is when it's not fit to drink otherwise. I want to savor the flavor of the coffee.
