I like light roast coffee with milk and a little sugar. (1/2 tsp or so). Real sugar, I can't do splenda etc. It's yuck.1

I signed up for their micro batch monthly drop - the flying elk was awesome! Love this company.
They have their "Buy a bag give a bag" promo going on right now so when you buy a bag of coffee they send one to deployed troops.
I tried some different coffees from Black Rifle but just couldn't get into them. Now American Pride Roasters (especially the Franklin and The First Thanksgiving) is amazing. This reminds me it's time to order again before I run out!
I generally drink it black since I buy "good" coffee that has enough flavor for me, sometimes adding a little cinnamon.
Lately in the afternoon I'll have some Folgers and add some pumpkin spice creamer if I need some extra pick me up as my daughter will finish what I don't drink of the Folgers. I don't share my pricey coffee with a teen who drinks it with more creamer than coffee!1 -

BRCC medium roasts are a bit on the darker side. I like Gunship is very good as well. I too, have monthly drop.
I'll have to try the flying elk now.1 -
Reading all these was very interesting, I’m about to try some of them. I haven’t had the gut to try plain black coffee.. now it’s a must. I usually have mine when I’m home with Nescafé and cinnamon creamer. When I’m out ir varies but I try to get mine with almond milk. Unless it’s an iced coffee I get 3 pumps vainilla syrup no classic and cream🥰
Just a suggestion...start with a light roast and a little additive, then slowly reduce the additives until just black1 -
14ozs Duncan Doughnut Hazelnut flavored coffee,
1 11oz container of Vanilla Premier Protein,
and 2 pks of Splenda with Fiber.
Delicious! 1 -
I drink it every way imaginable. All day, everyday. But after 2pm and it turns to decaf. Then it's usually just black or with a little milk.2

Coffee is first thing in the am. Dark roast Folgers. Coffee Mate vanilla caramel. I'm good. Usually 8oz. 2x.1
-
Try Peet's Major Dickasons. So dark and bold it makes Folgers Dark seem like a vanilla shake.2

I take mine with milk, exactly 50 grams of milk to 275 grams of coffee. My husband used to fix my coffee and would pour in whatever random amount of milk looked about right. Now he scoffs at me for "measuring it out with an eyedropper" but he can't argue with my results!2

I do that (sans oatmeal). It's like drinking a Reese's cup! 😁1 -
4 lb black. 15 ml cream.1

Now, according to the Specialty Coffee Association of America, one pound of coffee is enough to make 48 6-ounce cups of coffee. (Link)
So that would be 3 teaspoons of cream divided between 192 cups of coffee?

It wasn't me, but maybe somebody was disagreeing that you like as "bitter a blend as possible" since you then dump two Splendas in it. If you don't like it bitter, just own it. No shame. 0 -
Who grinds their own? I have a capresso electric burr grinder. I think fresh grounds are the best.1

I have a gaggia espresso machine with a built in grinder and a snap in carafe for milk. I press one button and it makes me a delicious double espresso latte with about 3 oz of foamy delicious almond milk. I have double everyday with a little creamer and have recently started adding a scoop of chocolate collagen peptides to it. Coffee snob over here!2

I like it bitter as an old crone on a tall mesa observing the valley where her people once resided in peace, before the war and the ashes and tears, and the diaspora.
And then soaked in Splenda to make it palatable and ensure I get my RDA of six-syllable chemicals.3 -

I grind beans every 3-4days. So not as fresh as my coffee purist brother in law would like but tastes the same to me, and then I don’t have to listen to it at 6am. Not exactly a morning person over here. Except I also don’t use a grinder. I use the blender on my Bosch mixer base. Grind until it “looks good” for my espresso machine and then use the same grind in my perk. My boys say I am simplifying the complicated. Lol1 -
I can't drink coffee black - it gives me a stomach ache. I drink it with a lot of unsweetened vanilla almond milk, and lots and lots of it, too, in the morning. I'm an addict -- when I don't get a morning dose of caffeine I get a pounding headache in the afternoon.
But nobody's perfect, lol!3 -
I love coffee! In the mornings I grind Starbucks house blend and drink 2 cups. Sometimes black or with a little bit of almond milk for a treat. In the evenings I drink McDs decaf. 😋🤤1

Black. maybe once or twice a month Ill stop for a latte, (white chocolate banana is my favorite) but I drink a pot black daily4
-
Black cooffee for me - I like Columbian - There are several goo ones- During the day I like iced coffee also black.
Back in the day I used to splash some Jim Beam in there , but no more of that1 -

I do but that's just because my store has a limited selection, and the coffee I prefer only comes in whole beans lol. I usually grind up a whole bag at once and keep it in the freezer.2 -
Oh, and:
2 shots Bailey's
1 shot whiskey
1/2 cup whipped cream
I put them in my shaker cup and fill the rest with coffee.
Does this count?8 -
Whatever k cup is available with tons of almond or coconut milk, sugar free creamer and splenda to taste like a light and sweet something. Sometimes I'll add coffee to a protein shake if I want something more substantial.2
-
You people all seem to like such fancy coffee; am I the only one here who just grinds Dunkin Donut beans? I feel so basic!4

I don't have a fancy grinder but grind my own sometimes. I get coffee beans and grind them at Costco for cold brew. The brand I get just went down in size so I got two last time, ground both, and put one in the freezer. I go through 12 oz. a week making cold brew and make a mess grinding it otherwise. If I'm making hot coffee with a different brand I grind it, I prefer fresh ground.

Yes, it counts. Especially if you freeze left over black coffee in to cubes to add to your shaker for a hot sunny day drink.3
