    Coffee ? I used to drink mine "non-stop". I've managed to cut down to a few a week though.
    (a few pots...not cups)

    It's a work in progress.

    At home I usually have it with French Vanilla or Vanilla-Caramel flavoured creamer, when I'm in a restaurant or coffee shop I take it with milk and a sweetener. On occasion though, I do like to treat myself with a cup made with real, thick cream and a teaspoon full of sugar :)

    Strong with LOTS of sugar and LOTS of creamer. I work it into my day so it is not a big deal plus, I log that I drink a whole cup but I only drink half and only once in the morning.

    If I could put it in an IV drip I would....

    Black or with a couple splenda depending on my mood...Hot usually unless it's a typical Sacramento summer in which case it's iced. And BTW, I consider decaf to be a crime against humanity....

    Black...the way God intended us to drink it! I'm a coffee snob, so I like my beans to be freshly ground when I make the coffee and I rarely use any flavoring or flavored coffees. Right now I'm working through some whole bean Peruvian peaberry coffee that is WONDERFUL!!!

    I'll call your coffee-snobbish & raise it.. ad infinitum. :bigsmile:

    I homeroast my own green coffee beans (stovetop). Never drink coffee made with burnt beans! (Ugh - this was all started by THE big-time coffee shop in order to sell stale beans).

    I haven't tried stove top roasting. My coffee roaster died on me a few months back, tried roasting in an air popper...didn't work too well.

    I like dark roast coffee, preferably french or italian roast. LOVE starbucks, like DD and HATE Tim Hortons but usually brew my own at home. I drink it with 1 to to 2 tsp of real sugar (I cannot stand any of the artificial sweetners) and about 2 tbsp of land o'lakes fat free half and half (all the flavor and none of the fat).

    55 calories for 2 cups

    I need at least 16oz of coffee before I am able to communicate using human language skills.

    I used to drink it with a little sugar and a little bit of whatever lightener was available - skim milk, almond milk, cream, etc. When I was super exhausted, I'd add a lot of extra sugar for the kick I needed... but those were also days in which I was drinking *all* my hydration for the day in coffee... no water... just coffee...

    This summer I've cut back a lot, and I'm only drinking 16 oz, black (iced.) I allow myself black and green tea during the day, but I'm trying to drink as much herbal tea and water as possible.

    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:

    Me too. Can't drink the work coffee it is TERRIBLE so I end up making my own at home. Has to be fresh ground beans :-)

    Used to add milk and sugar but now it's black and I love it!

    I'll call your coffee-snobbish & raise it.. ad infinitum. :bigsmile:

    I homeroast my own green coffee beans (stovetop). Never drink coffee made with burnt beans! (Ugh - this was all started by THE big-time coffee shop in order to sell stale beans).

    I have about 1 cup each morning with up to a tablespoon of light cream. Found out the calories & fat is negligible (esp since the rest of my day is *usually* very low fat). I drank it black for awhile - but I'm now in an apt that has the world's crummiest stove (two settings on the burners: off.. and high! :grumble: ) So a bit of cream makes it perfect. Still long for the coffee I used to roast w/a better stove (not the horrible, stressful apt situations, though, lol).

    I also roast decaf - most the time it's way better than the decaf you get in the stores or most coffee shops, but it still tastes.. different.. so I just limit myself to one cup a day.

    another coffee snob here, though I don't roast, I don't feel that I need to, as I have a lovely little shop about 1/2 mile from work where they roast fresh daily and won't sell anything unflavored that is more than 2-weeks post-roast... they label everything with roast date also, so it's very easy to get a bag of beans that is right at the peak of flavor (for most beans 48hrs after roast, IMHO). Currently working on a bag of Costa Rican estate grown "Hacienda La Minitas" that is to die for.

    I drink it black. Always. And ground immediately prior to brewing unless I'm camping, in which case I'll pre-grind enough to get me through the trip.

    I take mine black, anywhere form 0-3 times a day.

    In my eyes, coffee is a drug delivery system (a tasty one) so why add calories?

    I drink mine with one tablespoon of half and half and two packets of sweet and low. And I drink a TON of it in the morning. Three mug fulls I'd say. Then it's water for the rest of the day unless I need a pick me up. :-D
