Black coffee gal here. I'm so boring
My reason is this:
I tend to like dark roasted, bold flavor in my coffee. Brewed coffees can be so variable in taste profiles (different beans, different roasts, different blends, etc.) that I go with the Americano as my regular drink mostly because espresso is *a little* more predictable in flavor.

Although, if I happen across a Clover machine with Tanzania Blackburn Estate on offer, I dive right in and get a cup. That's some plain black coffee yumminess right there.
