    I will drink coffee preeeeeeeeeetty much any way. Hot, iced, room temp, black, just a little skim milk and a packet of truvia. But my favorite way that I do everyday at work is just a 1/2 a tablespoon per 8 oz. I don't like coffeee super sweet.

    Starbucks K-cups, with flavored creamer with Splenda. I'm weaning down on my creamer/Splenda slowly but surely.

    Strong and black usually.

    Sometimes I will put unsalted butter in it. Or coconut oil. Or the coconut cream from an unshaken can of coconut milk.
    But my favorite is heavy whipping cream. YUM!!

    Occasionally I will put some coconut sugar in it but I no longer like sweet in my coffee (unless there is some cream in it).

    On work days that get a bit too busy to sit and eat, the fat and the coffee keep me going all day. And it isn't the caffeine. Coffee will sometimes make me sleepy. I can take a nap after having a few cups.

    Fat free creamers??!! Cream is fat so you cannot call those things "cream" - ers.

    And my brand is Gevalia Limited Editions. I get 2lbs delivered 5x a year. They come from small, family owned plantations is different parts of the world. And only freshly ground for me!!

    Strong, black, and super-hot; nothing makes me sad quite like lukewarm coffee. Usually go with Peet's Major D!ckason's Blend. I have to admit though that I do usually have my first cup of the day with a tablespoon of creamer (coffeemate natural bliss sweet cream) - nummers! :drinker:

    I buy 8 O'Clock Hazelnut whole bean and then grind it as fine as the machine will let me, usually espresso grind. I brew it strong, probably double strength. I use splenda to sweeten and real half and half. A 16 oz mug of coffee runs me 44 calories. I've tried the fat free and sugar free creamers and I just really prefer the creamy wonderfulness of half and half. And actually, if you add up calories, half and half beats most of the others on that. 40 cal is for 2 tablespoons. :drinker:

    Black. I just started CKD so I've been adding half and half to get some fat. I'll probably go for heavy cream soon.

    What is this creamer you speak of, must be a US thing. French press, freshly ground and a little semi skimmed milk, better with full fat milk, but that is to creamy for my tea

    Community Coffee New Orleans Blend with Chicory medium roast, made strong and mixed with steamed skim milk and slenda. It's crazy how enjoyable something with only 50 calories and no fat can be :)

    Starbucks Sumatra. I grind my own beans, add 1/8th tsp of cayenne pepper, cloves, and cinnamon to the beans first. Nice and spicy!

    I'll take it any way I can get it as long as it's caffienated!

    Right now since it's hot I make a coffee concentrate and keep it in the fridge, then add ice and a bit of sweetened coconut milk for iced coffee. usually in the winter I just drink it black. Sometimes I add milk for cafe au lait or heavy cream if I have it. No sugar.

    ^ THIS!

    I have a Keurig but have not found too many of the K-cups that I like...I usually have my old standby Folgers medium roast but I make it strong. I also use coffee mate in it.

    My Rule of thumb is:
    your coffee color should match your skin color, with no sugar.

    Um, no. My heritage is Russian... translated, as white as they come :) And I LOVE good, strong DARK coffee.

    I liked my creamer with a little coffee but I hated seeing all my fat and calorie numbers disappear before lunch time. :cry:
    I use half and half and don’t mind tasting the coffee now. :happy:

    Bulletproof coffee.

    No sugar.

    18oz of organic italian roasted coffee brewed into a french press. Move the coffee into a blender machine. Blend it with 1.5 TBSP of Kerrygold unsalted butter, and 1 TBSP of MCT oil. It will keep you going for 8 hours!

    It will help you to lose your weight because it breakdown your fats.
