    I drink my coffee black. I drink hazelnut and it is quite yum! The aroma is amazing, as well.

    ^^ Edit: She beat me to it, lol!

    A fellow hazelnut fan! lol!

    There are things you can put in it that don't have a ton of calories. Get a good flavored coffee and put a little stevia in it (no calories) and maybe a little non fat milk, may not taste as good as old fashioned cream and sugar but you may come to like it.

    I dropped the creamer stuff a couple years ago. Still use sugar.

    I love my morning coffee. If I had to give it up, I would go nuts. I drink it with sugar but no cream. It's still tasty. Might be an acquired taste for some.

    i just started drinking my coffee with just a packet of sweetener, but sometimes I will still add a couple tablespoons of fat free half & half. Only 20 calories, and super creamy.

    I love Millstones Chocolate Velvet or Caramel truffle. Winco has some gormet coconut creme that is delish that you grind yourself. I only buy gormet coffee because my philosophy is that life is too short to drink bad coffee :bigsmile:

    BTW, I have never drank my coffee with cream and sugar.....it ruins the taste of the good coffee for me ;)

    I looove Winco's coffee selection. It's huge!

    I use Truvia (0 calories) + 1/2 cup of Unsweetened Almond milk (Silk) - 15 calories; but I only drink 1 cup per day (occasionally 2) - I'm not going to save any significant calories by skipping the milk in this case.

    All you CoffeeMate people - why you would choose the ingredients in CoffeeMate as a "healthier" alternative to a little dairy or soy/almond/rice? It sure doesn't taste better.

    I enjoy the hell out of my coffee with a little whole milk, I just log it and keep it at one cup.

    Maybe cut out the sugar, first, and then just lighten up on the dairy....all things in moderation.

    Not sure why the doctor said go to black coffee, and not just cut out the cream and sugar in the first place.

    I really love any vanilla flavored coffees, i'll just add some zero calorie sweetener to it and i'm good to go!

    Raised on black coffee ... didn't see anyone put cream or milk in their coffee until I was twelve years old.
    My suggestion would be a touch of cinnamon. I have tried that with burned coffee with some success.

    I track my coffee.. but I need to cut some cream/sugar. It just doesn't taste as good (to me)!!

    Is there any kinds of flavors for the Tassimo or K.. (I can't spell that for the life of me lol) brewing systems? I'm green, I have No idea about any of them..

    I love this website so much more since finding the Message Boards!

    I, too, love coffee and not black. I used to drink it sweetened with a tsp of raw honey and tbsp of half and half. Now I have it with full fat cream or coconut oil/butter/cinnamon. It works within my calories and macros since I don't eat "low fat". I wouldn't kill my coffee (and body) with artificial sweeteners and I don't like flavoured coffees either.

    I also use top quality, dark roasted coffee and a french press. Yum. I still have a quarter teaspoon of honey on rare occasion but find that the full fat cream or coconut oil/butter/cinnamon makes it seem a bit sweet anyway.

    I am the biggest coffee drink ever!! Look online at Sweet Maria's Coffee's. You'll have to roast and grind the beans yourself.. but it is absolutely wonderfully flavored. Trick to roasting the beans without paying some hundred dollars is to go get yourself a cheap ($20) popcorn maker that doesn't pop the seeds up but around.. if that makes sense.. you don't want the beans to be popping out everywhere. Just read about it online on how to roast 'em with a popcorn maker... and you can get grinders for way cheap as well...
    Anyhow. They import coffees from around the world. I've personally tried several of them. It's delicious (:

    I've always wondered, whn an american says they put cream in their coffee, do they mean actual cream ( as in whipping or pouring cream) or do they mean milk?

    Never figured this one out.:sad:

    Usually they mean cream. Gross, huh? Most Americans who claim they love coffee really mean they love diary and sugar....
