100% Columbian is the way to go. Maybe you should try iced coffee first. Have you tried it with milk or cream and sugar? I don’t like sugar in hot coffee but I do in iced coffee.

I love coffee, but you don’t have to. Sometimes we just don’t like certain foods.

I don’t like wine, I wish I did but I just don’t.

I have tried it a couple of times with cream and sugar, but I’m not sure I’m trying the right kinds for a newbie like me.

100% Columbian is the way to go.

That is a safe choice. Other good beans are Kenya AA and Kona($$$). 100% Columbian does NOT mean Folgers. You can go with upscale chains (Gloria Jean's) or the local beans in the top feeder bins from better supermarkets should be okay.

Stick with a medium roast. NO French or Italian roast.

Go heavy on the half/half or cream (not milk).

Now, get something that goes with coffee. Coffee goes GREAT with a dish of good vanilla ice cream. It also goes well with sugar cookies, doughnuts, cream puffs, chocolate cake and any kind of pie.

Enjoy the dessert/coffee with good company and eat/drink slowly. When you develop the taste, the coffee and the dessert increase the enjoyment of each other.
