Life in Geezerville: Coffee Edition

Before we went to IHOP for breakfast (which was quite good), my brother and I went for coffee at a B & B (that stands for Beans and Brew). The coffee at the B & B was quite complicated to order. First we had to decide upon size--anything from 8 ounces to 96 ounces. Then we had to decide on the roast: medium, dark Italian, French...Siberian (the barista rattled off a variety of roast types that I did not know existed so why not Siberian). Then came the decision as to the type of cream--and finally the type of sugar we needed. I said I wanted a cup of plain black coffee. My brother who "knows" more about coffee than I do, said I wanted medium roast, black coffee. That's what I got. It was very good. 

Fast forward to our breakfast at IHOP. I ordered another cup of coffee. We were served a cuppa hot black coffee (who knows what the roast type was) in an IHOP mug with an extra pot of coffee for fill-ups. It was perfect. I guess I have simple tastes when it comes to coffee. Shoot, I can't tell the difference between roast types, cream types and sugar types. It's pathetic. I thought both places served me a good cuppa coffee. Speciality coffee shops with professional baristas are for coffee lovers. I'm probably not a good advertisement for speciality coffee shops as I don't really care. All I want a regular cup of ordinary hot coffee and I'll be happy--end of discussion. Remember, we're all in this together.
