It’s funny, my lab in grad school had a reasonably nice coffee shop on the first floor. So I have a lot of pleasant memories with my lab mates and supervisor while drinking pretty good coffee (sometimes with flat whites or single source light roasts).

I remember once waiting in line while a new student in my lab was complaining about how Reddit coffee snobs said anything besides a light roast coffee with a splash of milk “killed the flavour of the beans”. So a postdoc and I each ordered light roast and put a splash of milk in it, originally planning on spending the next twenty minutes talking about how he had killed the flavour coffee with a dark roast, but then finding we both quite liked getting our coffee that way.
