Somewhat off track but taken from the thread…would someone tell me where it is written that coffee is supposed to be consumed black? I put a dollop of heavy cream in strong coffee and I read a book about healthy eating in which the author claims whipping real butter into coffee makes it a super food.

Insisting there is only one way to drink coffee is like saying there is only one brand of guitar to play, or one model, or one kind if strings. Get real!

Gorgeous guitar. Very nice photo, too.

I have a Collings OM3G short scale that I bought new at the end of April. So I know what you're talking about. An amazing guitar for sure.

I don't always drink coffee. But when I do, I prefer it black. Stay thirsty, my friends.

I have read that milk blocks the body's ability to absorb antioxidants, which coffee is full of. I drink mine black and my wife drinks hers with cream, to each his own. Either way, more energy for playing is the best benefit

Yup.
