If you don't like arabica, what are you drinking? Robusta? How are you drinking it?

Indeed, robusta. It amuses me that I'm probably fine with folgers and/or whatever cheap coffee you can get when in a hotel. At home, I think death wish is the only easy way I know to buy robusta whole bean.
I have had specialty robusta (I have some green robusta in my house right now) but it has always been pretty tough to drink for me, but I don't like adding sugar or milk to my coffee most of the time.
I take my coffee neat, most of the time. Have had more lattes than otherwise lately. And, oddly, that is the only way I can take the taste of arabica coffee. :D
Funny! I have had robusta black, both espresso and filter, and man it just doesn't do it for me.
I think the funniest realization on my end, was that liking Folgers wasn't just me liking "cheap" coffee. :D
