a) with explanations:
0: It's easy...pour and go
1: No worries regarding missing additives away from home
2: No additives to reduce/absorb the heat
3: Consistency - While I do have a few favorite blends, (Community Coffee being one  ) I'm not at all picky so long as it's hot, strong and black.

Are you in Louisiana?
I love Community Coffee with Chicory!
Hard to find the pods for my Keurig, though.
Sometinmes I have to get French Market with Chicory, New Orleans Roasters, or Union Pure.
I've never seen Community Coffee outside of Louisiana, or possibly the Mississippi GULF Coast.

I worked in Mandeville for a few years back in the early 2000s. I had a little condo right off the causeway on the north shore. I wasn't on the water, but I was close enough that I could see masts from my upstairs windows and hear the shrimp boats starting up every morning at the break of dawn. It's one of my favorite places that I've ever lived.
As for the Community brand, the only place I get it anymore is Jackson when in town visiting out grandson which thankfully is often enough that it's basically become the Sunday morning tradition.

We lived in Mandeville for several years beginning in 1985. Built a house in Parc du Lac. I agree it was a wonderful place to live. Moved to Charlotte, NC on business and lived there for about 10 years before moving back. Charlotte is also a nice place to live, though the complete opposite of New Orleans/Mandeville. In Charlotte they work like hell and don't know how to party. Down here we party like hell and don't know how to work.

Blend your own coffee and use an insert. The coffee will be much better than the pre-made pods.
My home area (Upstate NY) didn't sell Luzianne, which contains chicory. My parents loved it so when visiting family in the US southeast, they'd buy 20 lbs at a time. They'd ration it out over the year, mixing it with other coffees.
I roast coffee and when I buy I get the higher end brands. But I have a fondness for Folgers or Maxwell House blended with Luzianne ...

If it's good coffee, a or c. If it's bad coffee, b or e. The sugar I usually use is a roughly 50/50 stevia/sugar blend if available.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

That's the way my mother drank it. (God rest her soul.) We used to joke that the had asbestos lips, tongue, and throat, as the coddeewas removed from boiling only a few seconds. It was an enameld drip coffee pot with a cloth filter to hold the coffee, and you'd pour boiling water from a pan into it.
That Voltaire dude was OK.

Mornings, black, two sugar, milk, smoke. That's always been breakfast.
On good days I add whipped cream.

Never had coffee, and I've always suspected if I started, I'd be the type to drink it non-stop. So I'd rather not start.
I've had chocolate-covered coffee beans, and lets just say the experience only reinforced that belief.

Dude!
Come over to the Dark Side.
And yes, chocolate coverd coffe beans are positively Killer. They never last more than an hour or so in my house.

He says CAFE (spanish for coffee) is for Corto (short), Amargo (bitter), Fuerte (strong) and Espeso (dense / thick)... If you see his coffee, you would think he is italian.

A few years ago I had some health issues and now I can't have caffeine. A year ago I developed a lactose intolerance as well, go me!!!. As a result I have to have decaf and milk alternatives.
My wife still laughs every time we are out and I order a "Decaf Soy Latte". Then she calls me an inner city toffee nose wanker (Aussie slang).
