How do you take your coffee?

kimberly_smith718

So, just curious... how do you take your coffee in the morning (or during the day)? I use vanilla-flavored Starbucks K-cups with one Sweet N Low and a splash of vanilla-flavored creamer. I like my coffee sweet!

I am addicted to Dunkin Donuts coffee with cream & sugar but am slowly trying to get to black coffee.

I brew a pot of Toasted Southern Pecan Cameron coffee. I put it in the blender. I add one Tbsp. coconut oil/1 tbsp Kerry Gold butter/one scoop protein powder/stevia/cinnamon. Blend and enjoy all morning.

Kicking Horse Kick *kitten* Coffee- black. :drinker:

I have a Keurig, at home and at work...no cream, just a few drops of liquid stevia (thank you Trader Joe's). Repeat as needed.

I like vanilla bean coffee with a splash of milk

10 oz coffee, plain or a flavored keurig and two creams or two tbsps half and half.

Used to love it with cream and sugar (or double-doubles if you know what Tim Hortons is LOL), but am now down to either non-fat milk or almond milk, no sugar. Realizing how many calories I was drinking made me realize I would rather spend those calories on food :laugh:

REEALLLLY good roasted coffee with a tablespoon of half and half

Never trust anyone that doesn't drink their coffee black.

I take mine a couple different ways:

1. Simple coffee with several TB of french vanilla (or specialty flavor) creamers.

2. I have a low carb mocha mix that I blend with chilled coffee/espresso, half and half and sugar free chocolate syrup. Sometimes I'll mix in Torani syrups to mix flavors... coconut, choc. peanut butter, english toffee, whatever I feel like... I have probably a dozen flavors lol

ugh...Normally I love it with just half and half. However since I am now watching my calories I drink it black with stevia....I sure miss it creamy but I prefer my scale keep going down.

I drink my coffee Cuban style. Either cafe con leche or a colada.

I brew Hazelnut cream coffee every morning. I add 1/2 teaspoon of sugar, one sweet n low and 1/3 cup of fat free milk. It's soooo delicious - I look forward to waking up to the aroma (on a timer to start brewing prior to waking) every single morning and that first slurp......yummmmmmmmmmmmmm. I'm truly addicted to it - I must admit!!!

Some kind of flavored kcup with a pinch of sugar. If I'm not home, black.

Of course I still like it best with cream and sugar, but most days it's not worth the calories to me.

- the problem with coffee is I can't leave it alone once I buy it in and then my head hurts when I drink too much.

Now "I take tea my dear" - Breakfast Tea at breakfast and Assam later on - both refreshing and no headaches.

KameHameHaaaa

I very rarely drink coffee. More of a tea person. But tis the season, so I've been making low cal pumpkin spice lattes for the fam.
Also ill mix it with a little cream and tiramisu protein if I don't have time to cook breakfast and need an energy boost. But that's like a once in a blue moon thing.

black coffee for me, not Cheap coffee tho

MysteriousMerlin

fresh ground vanilla scented beans, little cream, little splenda

dbmata

Coffee is like me, bitter with no sense of sweetness.
Also like me, there's a lot of half and half in it, but it ain't wholly white.

CarKiller2013

Black, but it has to be GOOD coffee. No cheap stuff.

I usually do cream and sugar, however one thing I like doing is a breakfast to go smoothie.

I brew a small k-cup ( i liked the mocha swirl one)
Put that with ice, vanilla protein powder, a bit of vanilla almond milk and 2 tbsp of chocolate syrup.

Delicious and filling - caffeine and breakfast to go!

I'll take it almost any way, depending on how desperate I am lol. If things are ideal: I have somewhat freshly roasted beans, freshly ground and then prepared in a press. I almost exclusively drink dark roast, black. But, I do have a Vue and I like a few things I can make with it, and sometimes I'll add a flavored creamer to my pressed coffee.

I can't do tea if I haven't eaten in a while or I get ravenous for some reason. So I have coffee...

jazzie_red

It depends. If I go to a coffee house, americano decaff, black. Mmmm.. So nice and roasty....

If I am making it from my coffee pot, or getting it from Mac D's, black with two sugar. Not so roasty.

I am thinking of getting a Areo Press though... That might brew a better cup at home.

Flavored k cup (choclate glazed donut is my fav) 1/2 teaspoon sugar and a splash of almond milk

I'm a bit of a coffee freak, and I used to drink a lot of it.

Now I have one large cup as soon as I can after waking. A lot of people call this "upgraded" or "bulletproof" coffee.

This all goes in the blender:

125grams of grass fed organic unsalted butter

1.5 tablespoons of MCT oil ( Medium chain triglycerides) - basically ultra refined coconut oil.

1 large heaped teaspoon of Organic Extra Virgin Coconut oil.

Pour in coffee to french press, I use at least 2 heaped tablespoons of organic wet washed coffee, course ground.

Blend and enjoy!

I've tried loads of variations on this, too much MCT and I feel pukey, not enough and I lack energy!

I have one large cup at about 7am, and don't then eat until around 1 or 2pm.

I do the above as part of a low carb/ high fat/ protein diet, that so far has worked very well.:happy:

Used to take it with like two tablespoons of half and half and a lot of sweetener, but lately I've needed no cream and maybe two packets of splenda per 12 oz of coffee. But I cannot drink the cheap stuff like this.

Edit: I also drink cuban coffee, a lot. Espresso with sugar mixed in. 4g of sugar per 30mL serving, and as much caffeine as a regular cup of drip coffee, but so delicious.

Folger's K-Cup black or if I have extra calories for the day I go to the local coffee shop and get a small specialty coffee.

I brew Dunkin at home and add powdered coffee cream, I tried black but cannot do it. Since I have given up eating junk food this is my one indulgence.
