    My coffee is non-negotiable, too. And, I choose to drink it the way I like it. I cut corners elsewhere.

    Coffe is Americas #1 source of antioxidants... black tea is #2, bananas are #3
    Antioxidants protect your body from toxic free radicals that can help start chronic diseases,
    toxic free radicals can come from breathing oxygen to eating refined sugar.
    Some studies support the case that antioxidants can help your body fight off cancer, heart disease and diabetes.
    Regular coffee raises your blood pressure, if you drink a lot of coffee mix in some decaf.

    I make my coffee at work - it makes me SUPER excited to go to work!!! I have 3 cups every day during the week. On the weekends I'll splurge and have 4. Black. I will put in Splenda if it's available but if not - black.

    I will destroy lives and tear families asunder if I don't have it. Frequently.

    I love my coffee. But I like lots of cream (half & half or heavy cream), so I've had to cut back. I'm the person who likes a little coffee in her cream. LOL Seriously, my coffee cup is almost half cream if it's the way I really like it.

    I don't use much sugar, just 2 teaspoons.. so it's really just the calorie count of the cream I have to worry about.

    God bless!

    I actually don't drink coffee or even tea. I get the shakes, and it makes it realy difficult to concentrate. I like to call it mud with the way my co-workers make it.

    I love coffee, but my sodium is always high and I eat TONs of protein, so I try to keep my water intake high...Coffee is a diuretic and you have to drink extra water to compensate...I found it just easier to not drink coffee and stick to all different kinds of tea or plain water. I drink coffee when I am out to eat or occasionally on Sunday mornings, but that is it...I really don't miss it as much as I thought I would...

    I saw this thread and looked at the time. It's 6.56am which means I should make my way to the cafe for my morning macchiato. This is the best part of the morning and kickstarts my day.

    I drink it black, I eat chocolate covered beans, I have had coffee yogurt. It part of my life. The only negative I have found is don't drink it before a long run (the cathartic effect gets in the way). I Love it!

    I drink it black. Have always drank it black. I allow myself to drink coffee until lunch then I cut myself off or I would drink it all day.

    I have some bad news everyone. I spilled a tiny amount of my coffee about 5 minutes ago. Now the coffee stain is mixing with my tears...

    so many replies, thank you all!!!

    definitely helped me out, lol. i will no longer contemplate the coffee, and since i had a rather chilly walk home today, i enjoyed a guilt-free tall sized (i want to say it's 12 oz?) coffee with a splash of skim milk, one splenda packet, and one packet of raw cane sugar. :)

    and i love every last drop of it!

    Have cut my caffeine intake to once a week, so the morning grind is decaf--specifically:
    12 oz fresh ground espresso grind verona decaf+ 1 tsp stevia + 2 tbsp low calorie almond milk.

    Love the taste; love the ritual. And surprisingly, don't miss the caffeine.

    I love the coffee...

    I'm in the military, and that is a very popular beverage. I like mine strong and black!

    I drink numerous cups of coffee nearly every day that are strong and black, and mabye a couple of times a month I'll head to the local Starbucks and splurge on a fufu coffee. Today I actually got a Grande Skinny Vanilla Latte. I was surprised when I saw that the numbers for that particular beverage are not toooo bad.

    Gotta have the coffee though!
    Navy coffee! Oh, Boy, I couldn't handle that stuff. We always imported our coffee and made it ourselves in the office. Even in the Med, we had wives and girlfriends mailing us Folgers. :laugh:
