Coffee...How do you drink yours?

AlyRoseNYC

This is just for fun. If you are a coffee drinker, how do you drink your coffee? How many cups do you drink? Regular or decaf?

I drink mostly decaf with half and half or heavy cream, and one packet of Truvia or Splenda. My husband drinks it black with LOTS of sugar. I tried black coffee and I just couldn't get into it. I love my coffee super creamy.

I used to drink 1-4 XL Tim Horton's Double Double's, haven't bought one in about a month now!
I drink 1-3 regular cups of coffee, with 2 creamers and 1 sugar packet at 73 calories now, much better than the Timmie's I was drinking!

I used to drink Venti Nonfat Caramel Macchiatos!!!!!! Oh the calories!!!!!!! lol

When I was pregnant I had a decaf Grande Caramel Frapuccino pretty much everyday from the time I was seven months. This was before they made the nonfat versions of them. When I look back I just want to slap myself! lol

I grew up drinking my coffee with 2 scoops of regular sugar and about 2 T. of cream... Knowing that was adding unnecessary calories, I slowly weened myself off and now drink regular coffee black. First few sips are a little rough, but I get into it eventually. LOL

Black :drinker:

Most weekdays I'll have 2 cups of coffee with one teaspoon of raw sugar and 1/2 cup skim milk. On the weekends I'll let myself have half and half instead of the skim milk. Since I've started watching what I eat I've really cut back on the sugar, but just can't give up the cream/milk.

I used to be totally addicted to White Mochas from Starbucks.

Xaspar

Extra strong caffeinated Cafe Bustelo, cold, with a scoop of protein powder, a tablespoon of Chocolate Syrup, a tablespoon of caramel syrup, 2 teaspoons of benefiber powder and a dash of cinnamon... over ice. Best Mocha Latte Frappuccino I have EVER had!

I like it black if it's good coffee.

With a little sugar and some soy milk if it's crappy coffee

and super sugary if it's Starbucks. But I drink Starbucks black occasionally if I don't feel like something sweet, even though it's pretty gag-worthy.

blazergrad

One cup each morning with two packets of Splenda and about 2-3 tablespoons of powdered creamer. At least I've cut back from 2-3 cups per morning.

carrie1128

I make my own at home with whole bean (there really is a difference), just a splash of skim milk and I've weaned myself down to 1/2 tsp of real sugar. I drink 2 cups a day.

erickirb

Black, if it is good coffee, and single cream single sugar, if it is crap coffee (i.e. Tim Horton's)

Punkedpoetess

I drink my coffee with lowfat (1%) milk and almost always brew my own at home. I grind it from whole beans. I have 2 cups every morning .

webfootcajun

by the gallon..(sips)..CDM coffee with chicory..(sips)...with splenda and lite non-dairy creamer..

mazza2marilyn

2 cups of regular a day,no sugar splash s/k milk

morganhccstudent724

:bigsmile: Dunkin Donuts Iced Coffee...cream and splenda please

Zombriana

I have about 2 cups aday.
When Im brewing, I have it with a tablespoon of caramel macchiato flavored cream, and a teaspoon of sugarfree caramel [torani]
When I make espressos, I do 4oz of espresso, 1 cup of fat free milk, 1T vanilla syrup, 1T of SF caramel, and 1T of caramel sauce.

Coffee is 33 calories, the latte is 159. :]

MrsWendyQ

Enjoying some right now...usually I don't do much better than Folgers, and here at work they like it STRONG...usually in my travel mug it's 1-1/2 packet of truvia and about a tablespoon of powdered creamer. Sometimes I like it with flavored creamers or preferably half and half, but I'm at work, coffee's free, and we've only so much to put in it. :drinker:

ChantalGG

I drink it black since i started losing weight, whenever i add sugar or sweetener and cream to it i think it taste wrong now. I drink coffee because i am tired so decaff just angers me. lol

CARNAT22

I am a tea drinker but like a skinny latte if I pass my favourite Italian cafe!

shiseido_faerie

at one point in life I drank A LOT of coffee (like a pot, double-double)
About a month or so I was down to 1 large Timmies (still double double) every morning, as well as a cup I had made myself at home with low fat cream and sugar.

Now I have switched to half-caffe (which is like...half regular coffee, half decaf) I am down to just the cup I make at home, still "double-double" but with the 5% creamer, and I generally only drink about half of it before I head out the door.

Ideally i'd still like to have the one cup in the morning at home, but wean off of the sugar. For now i'm feeling ok about only drinking half of the cup.

a few years ago we bought a rancilio silvia espresso machine because we were spending too much on coffees at STBX. Recently we added a nespresso city to our master bedroom ensuite bathroom :blushing: We love our Joe.

1 drink 1 cup espresso macchiato
my husband makes his espresso shot daily on the nespresso, & occasionally will have one after dinner.

If I'm drinking really good coffee (like got-up-early-to-grind-my-own-beans good ... which doesn't happen often) I drink it black. Sometimes I'll add a tablespoon or two of really good half and half or cream. If I'm drinking crap coffee ... well, I don't drink it. I'd rather save myself for the good stuff. I have the same philosophy with chocolate and have pretty much effortlessly cut my consumption of both vices way, way back by not eating/drinking stuff that I don't really love.

On occasion I'll get a triple-shot latte at Starbucks on my way in to work, though. The morning crew at my local store have yet to burn my espresso, and god bless them for it.

dchris99

I usually have 2 muggs the 1st with LOTS of Creamer & 3 splenda. Then the 2nd Black with 4 splenda. I had to cut out all the flavored creamer because I was overloading it with calories.
My favorite treat is still a a Mc Donalds SF Vanilla iced coffee!!!

TheRoadDog

Mostly Decaf. Grind my own. Mix up the beans, Vanilla Nut, hazel Nut, Espresso, etc.

During the week -- with a little Vanilla Nut Creamer.

On the weekends -- with a little Kahlua and Brandy.

AlsDonkBoxSquat

always a giant travel mug:

5:30 AM 1/2 regular, 1/2 decaf, 1/4 cup milk, 1 packet sweet n low
6:30 AM - top off from pot, rarely add anything else

9 AM - if I'm taking a down turn, refill with regular, 1/4 c milk, 1 pkt snl.

I like the new natural creamers, like Breve Creme or Natural Bliss. So, a tbsp of that plus two packets of Splenda, two 8-ounce cups most days. Some days I have a third (or more).

It's one of the simple pleasures in my day, so I have it the way I want it.

cre8ivegals82

These days I drink my coffee (hot or iced) with skim milk and 2 Splenda.

I work at Starbucks so you can imagine the temptations I am faced with everyday. When I do want to get something a little more exciting I go for a tall iced skinny caramel macchiato which has only 100 calories...and just enough espresso to give me the jolt of caffeine I need. When I'm being SUPER "good" at work I stick with a Venti shaken black tea with 3 Splenda which has zero calories and is very refreshing, though it's not coffee.

MrsCon40

Black.

I don't care if it's crap or gourmet, it's always black.

bcolburn289

Usually I get an XL-Dunkin Donuts French Vanilla with skim milk and 5 splenda, 4 days/week on my way in to work. I never drink coffee at home, though, weird. I TRY so hard to drink it black, I really do! I WANT to like it....I just can't.

taso42_DELETED

Black or espresso. Major coffee snob. If its bad coffee I just can't drink it. Unless I'm desperate, in which case I'll drink it but complain about it the whole time. :laugh:
