The FDA has the least strict rules about coffee hence you get the coffee rejected by Europe most is Asia and Australia.
Yes I have drunk it. I was a soldier and deployed OS and eat and drank in American messes.
Battery acid is more apt.0 -

I was military USAF...I wouldn't say the coffee in the mess halls represents what is sold in coffee stores... Yes you can find "Battery acid" coffee, like instant and cheap coffees sold in stores, also in diners and chains, but can also find fair trade organic coffee that is good. Just because the FDA doesn't give a **** about Americans taste and health, we have some restaurants that do.
I will fully admit a lot of Americans have underdeveloped palates and an extremely corrupt government, especially the FDA, but I get tired of stereotypes.2 -

Nah, some of us are used to it. Some of my close friends are Aussies and Kiwis and we rib each other all the time. I keep having to remember that this is a family friendly site and I have to constantly remember to curb my biting sarcasm and wit here.
I'm with you on the coffee, a lot of it does suck. But there is good coffee if you know where to look. And everyone's taste is different. If you've never had the good stuff you don't know the difference, but once you've had good coffee you don't want anything else.
Many of my friends think Starbucks is the best stuff ever, and frankly I think it's overpriced swill not fit for consumption. But that's just my opinion.
My views on patriotism and politics likely wouldn't line up with many of my US friends on here either. But, I digress.

I use this powdered creamer called Rapidfire Ketogenic Creamer that's half the price of the other name brands. It has butter, MCT oil and Himalayan salt and tastes a lot lighter than cream. If you're after a sweet taste then try Coconut Creamer by So Delicious.2

Y'all haven't lived until you've tasted Belgium and/or French coffee. I used to be able to have it shipped but the company went out of business a few years ago. We Americans are resilient though and can overcome anything - including American coffee.1

Is there really that much difference between European coffee and what we drink in the US? Or is it how it's brewed? Never been to Europe, so just curious. Also, what are some of these "superior" European brands/ We should be able to purchase them here in the US and experience this great coffee .0

Newbie here, I love my coffee and don't understand why heavy cream is better than milk? or why butter is better than heavy cream?I have just been drinking coffee with semi skimmed milk ...am I doomed to fail at Keto?0

Milk has some natural sugars, upping the carb count. Cream/butter is higher in fat and has almost no carbs. The higher fat content also ups the satiation factor.0

I just give in to my need for flavor in my coffee. I use sugar free hazelnut or vanilla creamer. I don;t use a full serving in my double mug of coffee, just enough to give me that flavor I need. And I balance the rest of my carbs accordingly. So far now triggers to keep wanting sweet or more treats.

I've made THIS before using both Heavy Cream as well as Coconut Cream when I was experimenting with DF and it's delicious.0

Try chai coffee! U can make your own chai tea or buy sugar free, or just buy a spice blend to put in ur coffee. Add a lil hwc and the flavor is good and complex enough that you don't need a sweetener! Probably also works with no other flavors like pumpkin spice, Mexican hot chocolate, etc. Spicy with a lil cream, no sweetener0 -
I like to do the same with just vanilla too, but it's gotta be a GOOD vanilla extract, not used sparingly to overpower the bitterness of coffee. Gets kinda pricey to use good vanilla on the regular tho0
