I switched to black in the 90-91 timeframe...
We could get coffee pretty easily, but cream and sugar were hard, if not near impossible to get where we were deployed.
I’ve enjoyed it ever since, robust/dark roasts (Italian) are what I like.
I started drinking black coffee in 1965 when I was drafted. I still drink it black and prefer Maxwell House, itâs the closest I can find to army issue.
