    Those Bai5 drinks are like 10 calories a bottle. Supposedly they are made from the coffeefruit (as opposed to the coffee bean, which comes from the inside of the fruit if I understand correctly) and has as much caffeine as a cup of tea. Tastes just like Vitamin Water.

    I tried it a couple days ago as a last resort from a gas station. I don't like the sweetener they used, but I couldn't be picky at the time, if was a caffeine emergency. Tasted alright, just kind of chemically. If you drink sodas or energy drinks all the time, you probably won't even notice it.

    Maybe you could accept the fact that you really don't like coffee? Coffee is inherently bitter; if you have to dump a couple of spoonfuls of sugar into a cup to drink it, what you really like is drinking something hot and sweet. Switch to heated skim milk (or almond milk if you really want to cut the calories), and you can probably get something that tastes sweet enough to satisfy you with one teaspoon or less of sugar.

    Trim milk and an Equal tablet should keep it sweet without too many calories.

    Tea was made to be drank with cream.
    Coffee is meant to be drank black with no sugar. :happy:

    I know this adds nothing to the conversation. I've just never been able to drink my coffee with milk or sugar in it.
    And besides... no one minds getting you a coffee if it's black. :smile:

    Cinnamon herbal tea or other tea of your choice. I don't add milk to anything besides chai.
