As to the second: daily, more or less.

Personally I prefer a good dark roast, and if it's a good blend (also for medium or light roast) I want it black.

Outside of dedicated coffeehouses though, most coffee out & about isn't what I consider "good" (I guess I'm a snob?:-P), so I usually add sugar & creamer.

(Pro-Tip: combine black coffee with a pastry for the ultimate snack, i.e. the sugar doesn't need to be poured directly into the liquid! The juxtaposition of the bitter and sweet really works well.:-)

I can't stand Starbucks coffee regardless though, so if needed I'll get a mocha. I'd sooner trust a McDonald's coffee though - seriously: b/c Lavazza is great!

It's such a personal choice though - what do you like?

Best I found so far is Gaviña Old Havana Espresso. I drink it about 3 times a day. Make it in espresso maker. Very smooth and smells great. I do like to experiment and buy random whole bean coffee, usually medium roast.

Oh wow that sounds a lot to me - I hope that's safe? Though by the time I combine my coffee + variety of teas throughout the day I'm probably on the higher side of caffeine intake than I should be as well, so I can't judge:-P.

A single espresso doesn't have that much caffeine in it. One large drink with milk from major chains usually has 3 shots.

THREE!? TIL... wow. So that does sound nice then, to spread out that same amount over the course of a day rather than concentrated all at once.
