    I personally just make the calories in my coffee creamer fit. I’ve given up a lot of things, but you can pry my Coconut Creme coffee creamer out of my cold, dead hands.

    Black Americano if I'm out, strong and black at home, expresso after a good meal.

    Americano with a dash of skimmed milk. Sometimes a little caramel or vanilla sweetener from this range https://teisseire.com/en/global/professional/products/le-0/ - they have small pods so I can carry them with me everywhere

    Most times black, but not all.

    I measure out a cup of whole milk in the morning for coffee. I drink around four cups, sometimes five. I also use liquid sucralose.

    Rarely, and only when mixed with copious amounts of hot cocoa powder to cut the taste.

    for one 16 oz cup, I take 2 creamers and 7 nutrasweet packets. I don't drink my coffee. I eat it. I can drink it black, I can drink it with just sugar, but my way feels decadent and rich, so why not? I log my expected number of creamers each morning so the calories are already accounted for. :smiley:

    At the height of the Great Depression, my grandparents said that they would drink coffee if it cost a dollar a pound. Considering that my grandparents' income in 1930 was something like $23 a week, this was a declaration of family values; my family has lived by that sentiment ever since.

    Apparently I’m allergic to Splenda or something because every time I drank it, my mouth and tongue would go numb

    I can't stand splenda, it gives me a headache. That stuff ain't right man.

    I order a small iced coffee no flavor syrup just standard cream + sugar from dunkin. I'd rather take the calories than have something I didn't like as much :P

    With emphasis and authority. I grab it, wrap my hand around it and it has no choice but be taken.

    Black. I really don't think of coffee as a drink that should be sweet -- sweetened coffee is and has always been undrinkable to me. I used to add milk or cream or half and half (depending on what was available). I started drinking coffee with it half milk, half coffee, which I'd mix for myself in the college dining hall, and just gradually reduced the milk until I found I liked it best black. I very rarely get some kind of coffee and milk drink (I enjoy a melange -- coffee with unsweetened whipped cream -- as a dessert), and still do like the combination, but in the morning I usually want just plain coffee.

    Almost all of the Dunkin' locations near me closed this year. Within a couple months they were all gone. But, there are more Tim Hortons around than ever, so all is well.

    I can actually stand in the parking lot of one Tim Hortons near my house and see another one that's down the road lol.

    And to answer the actual question, I drink my coffee black.

    If I make it myself, I throw in 2 packets of splenda and a splash of milk.

    If I'm buying it from somewhere, I'll usually add a flavor shot or some fancy flavored creamer.

    This is a good idea or you can just chew the beans, or stuff the grounds into your cheek like chaw.

    GOOOOOOOOD morning!

    P.s. drinking peppermint mocha flavored coffee (no cream or sugar, technically black, I guess) which was on sale this week at the store. :) It is very Christmas-y.

    Black! I'm following a plant based diet and got tired of worrying about creamers -- much easier to drink in hot and black.

    Dark roast, with about a tablespoon of steamed half & half (cream) per cup, and sweetened with stevia. Usually have three cups per day when I'm not having English breakfast tea instead. Absolutely no flavoring - that's for coffee drinkers who really don't like coffee.

    If I got to Starbucks, cream and 2 splenda. When I make it at home 2 tbs whole milk and 2 splenda. When I run out of milk, 2 splenda, when there is nothing left - black. I cant go without my coffee even if the cupboard is bear, lol!!!

    I don't drink coffee EXCEPT in December because I get an iced coffee from Dunkin with the peppermint mocha flavor shot in it.

    Good way to get that flavor without needing to add the creamer!

    I like flavour in my coffee. So i found an awesome product called Jordan's Skinny Syrups. Lots of flavours, it pumps into your drink like foam, and it has 0 calories/0 fat.
