What does everyone put in their coffee?

I use Stevia and Half and Half. I think Half and Half gets a bad wrap.
it has less carbs than milk and when you use half and half you dont need as much i find.

A little half and half.

Also, are you drinking GOOD coffee? I'm sure some would say I'm a coffee snob, but if you're not buying freshly roasted beans from a local roaster and grinding your own, you aren't drinking fresh coffee. Trust me, there is a huge difference

^^^ and a good flavored creamer. I REFUSE to give this up!

nothing.. straight black unsweetened coffee... :bigsmile:

99% of the time I drink mine black. Occasionally I make Turkish coffee, and that is best made with extra dark (Muscovado) brown sugar.

One tsp. of coconut palm sugar and one Tbsp. of flavored creamer to two cups of coffee...can't do the black either!

Heavy cream ... need to keep the fats up ...

I never thought I could drink black coffee until I stayed at a B&B where they only offered sugar or Sweet 'n Low and non-dairy creamer. I was trying the Atkins Diet at the time and none of those work with Atkins. My only choice was to drink black coffee or go into caffeine withdrawal. Luckily, the B&B owners ground fresh coffee daily, so the quality of the coffee was excellent. By the end of the week, I had learned to like my coffee black, and now I prefer it. Going out for a latte is like going out for dessert to me.

Sounds weird I guess to force yourself for a week and develop a taste, but now I never worry about whether I should try to take along my favorite sweetener on a trip. If you are changing your diet anyway, to rid yourself of excess sugars or sodium, you start to appreciate the natural flavor of foods and don't need as much flavoring added. It's the same with coffee and chocolate.

If you can't drink black coffee, you're drinking the wrong coffee. There are tons of different roasts and varieties of coffee out there. I can't stand medium roast coffees black, for me it's either light or dark. Also, strong coffee tastes better than weak coffee, the vast majority of people brew coffee way too weak.

^^ THIS!

I was a Coffemate French Vanilla liquid creamer & sugar girl two years ago...I weaned off the creamer when I realized how full of crap it was, then eventually weaned off sugar onto Splenda. I drank it that way for over a year. About a month ago I cut out the Splenda after research on the chemicals in our artificial sweeteners. Now, IF I drink coffee, I drink it black and strong. It's just as good and I've learned to appreciate a good cup of coffee rather than making it rich and sweet like another candy drink. I'm trying to get healthy and all that crap sabotages my progress. I'm happy now with a cup of warm lemon water that benefits my liver. God knows I've abused it...poor thing. :drinker:

Half & half and Splenda. Delicious. I like dark roasts, and I think the cream and sweetener really bring out the richness of the flavor. It's just too bitter by itself.
