What a lovely thread!
While working at home I drink 4 big 430ml mugs of coffee everyday. The forth one is sometimes decaf. All of them always black and always bitter. And hot.
At the office it's more, I think 6-8. The reason is stressful job in stressful environment and more tiredness. The other difference is that the coffee is lousy there
For some time now I've been buying only whole beans coffee. I've preferred lately drip methods of brewing. They give more flower and fruit flavour, less acidity and bitterness and let develop full spectrum of coffee taste.

I fully agree with chuckrh that Jamaica Blue Mountain and Hawaii Kona Extra Fancy are the best coffee you can ever get. Sadly, the price is too high for me even for special occasions 
I've discovered though Geisha which is really very good coffee. Panama Geisha is expensive but there is also Honduras Geisha with the price more acceptable but not much worse taste and aroma.
Apart from those there are so many good and interesting coffee brands from all over the world that everyday cup of coffee may become a real adventure.
Btw, decaf doesn't mean bad or worse coffee. There is only important to buy those brands that are not decaffeinated with chemical methods.
