Properly made is best... I like food and sweets, but I am annoyed at the fake versions of stuff we get served. Take a dessert with custard... 1/2 the time I know not to bother cause the custard hard instead of soft like it should be and would be if made properly... it ruins the taste, I feel like I could have bought something from the frozen section of the supermarket on discount
I like coffee and having tasted the difference, when I go out, I will prefer something over another. When at home I prefer to try & make it the same also.
I wish it wasn't a big deal and most places served coffee properly, but really, unfortunately, at least in Perth, they don't. They don't use enough coffee, and / or they make the shot too long and it tastes watery. They burn it, so it tastes bitter to the point where this is the taste people associate with coffee - something wrong there....Bah, the milk isn't that big a deal for me.. it's the coffee they burn it ! I'd prefer not to eat burnt eggs for example, same with coffee !
Besides that, then it's just preference like anything else - this beer or that one, personal choice. And of course, if beer (or coffee) is just something to swig down rather something enjoyable, you don't care as much - I'm not a big beer drinker, but I can usually have a drink most of them, but imagine me telling a beer drinker it doesn't bloody matter, just drink the Emu Export !
