    I generally agree, but the amount of people that prefer darkly roasted coffee straight is relatively small, which is more my point. Darkly roasted coffee fits better with milk, generally, which is why it’s so prevalent and why people are confused when they hear people say coffee tastes good black.

      Nah, for my money dark roasts are best black, either hot or cold brewed. If brewed right, they’re super smooth and flavorful, no need for anything else. People usually don’t have enough coffee to water and that totally ruins dark roasts. Higher acidity of light roasts lend themselves to balance with cream and sugar. And those opinions seem to be common among the thousands of people I’ve personally served coffee to. Maybe try listening to people about what they say they like, instead of jumping to correcting them based on your tastes.

        Man I know nothing about coffee but even I can see that he got roasted!

        That’s coffee humor right?
