    No problem. And So Delicious coconut creamer doesn't really taste like coconut milk. It's a lot thicker, creamier, and less coconuty tasting. It really is meant to mimic cream.

    *grin* A true coffee snob drinks coffee delicious enough to drink black.

    This is so true though! Last year I switched from canned ground coffee to grinding my own beans in a burr grinder and it was magical. I can't believe how many years I drank bad bad coffee. My favorite is Stumptown Hairbender. It's really expensive (like $18+ per pound) but so worth it. I think it's the reason I went from using flavored creamers or sugar to only half & half. It's too delicious to cover up! I definitely recommend the OP try some high quality coffee (if you haven't already, of course)! :smile:

    I really like my coffee. It's veranda blend from starbucks. It is good enough to drink black. If I'm out of cream I will do so, however I just prefer it with cream lol.

    I've migrated to Silk Light Vanilla soy milk. It adds a nice flavor, it's 70 cal per cup and has more calcium. And it lasts longer in the fridge. Soy contains something that mimics estrogen but it's not, and my experience is that it doesn't have the same effects.

    Also, how it's brewed is important. OP, when you get the quality beans, I cannot encourage you enough to learn to make a good pourover! I've even converted my husband who would drink *shudder* reheated coffee after I got my Chemex coffee pot.

    I put coffee in my coffee. We are vegan and I never found a non dairy milk that tasted good in coffee. I've learned to love it black

    I'm lactose intolerant so beforehand I'd only just use sweeteners. I transitioned into drinking it black. Maybe give it a try?

    I'm vegan, I love soy milk in my coffees, you might find you won't like dairy after a little while without it. To me it smells putrid now, yuk! Lol

    It's funny that everyone's gone from drinking it with cream to drinking it black. I drank black coffee my entire life and only recently started putting coconut milk in it because it seems to help my acid reflux to some degree. I still drink it black from coffee shops though, since most places just have milk or cream.

    And if you just don't like the taste of black coffee?

    The fact that some people prefer milk and cream or just milk in their coffee has nothing to do with whether or not the coffee is "crap" as you're implying. It has everything to do with someones personal preference.

    I get my coffee with a splash of milk -- and when I say splash I mean just a little bit -- because I don't like super hot things (beverages or food). The milk cools it down a touch for me. The only time I've had black coffee was if I was out of milk and it's not something that I like. Maybe I'll change my mind when we start roasting our own beans but I highly doubt it.

    In a coffee mug I warm one half cup of unsweetened almond milk in the microwave and then mix in one scoop of Designer Whey Vanilla Crème protein powder, stirring until it dissolves, then add coffee to fill the mug and stir. It's like drinking a vanilla nut crème latte! It does contain some milk but nothing like what you'd do with cream in your coffee and it's protein packed.
