You could make it into a ritual. This is what I did when my children were small, and still set aside "coffee time". I grind the beans, I boil the water, I do a pour over (like french press). Then, this whole ritual is even better than sugar. I still use cream in my coffee, but it's delicious coffee and I can afford the calories for two tablespoons of half and half in two cups of good coffee. I just don't drink crap coffee anymore unless I'm desperate.0

I have a large coffee with 2.5 Tbs of cream and 4 teaspoons of sugar every morning. I cannot function without it. It is actually the first thing I log every morning and the rest gets fit in around it I'm a firm believer in eating/drinking anything you want as long as it fits in your calories. I lost 30lbs in 2013 eating ice cream, pizza, etc and drinking coffee, soda.0

I will look for some of the brands listed. Believe me, I try coffees from time to time.
I am in the middle of Missouri, so have to buy online.

I personally love the coffeemate creamers. I used to love starbucks, but after a rxn (allergic) to a cup of coffee I had to give it up. I love the different flavors the creamers come in.0

Of course you CAN function without it, you are just choosing not to do so.

Double doubles are BRUTAL for calories. It's 18% creamo! Try weaning yourself down to singles, then maybe just milk. Although TH coffee is crap without the cream at least you're not addicted to the Gretzky (nine and nine).
For our American friends, double doubles are a Canadian staple from Tim Hortons coffee (double cream, double sugar). The cream is 18% milkfat and slightly sweetened. So darn yummy

I relate to this (well, not a man, but...). Not sure why, but at some point in my 20s I decided it was time to learn to drink coffee black, like an adult. (Before then I'd done about half milk, half coffee--that's the only way I got through school, heh. Lucky for me I've always found sugar in coffee weird.) So I just started putting in less and less until I found I was enjoying it black.
Experimenting with better coffees helps too. Around here there are lots of good local coffee options, and I like Peets and Intelligentsia (well, that's basically a local chain still) for chains just fine.

For a brewing method most find vastly more flavorful than a Mister Coffee or similar.0 -

Thank you so much. Here in the midwest of nowhere my choices are limited.
