    I need coffee each morning or I get withdrawal symptoms. (shaky hands, really tired, headache, light hurts eyes)
    its kinda brutal.

    but apart from that I can easily go without coffee at other times in the day (which I have done, cut down from 3 a day to just 1 in the morning)

    It is definitely an American thing to load up coffee with tons of cream and sugar, some to the point where it tastes like melted coffee ice cream. That's just an excuse to ingest a crap ton of cream and sugar, the coffee is an afterthought! I use a splash of milk and one teaspoon of sugar in my coffee but want to cut that down. I can do black coffee but giving up that last little bit of sugar has been hard!

    I have to have it! Only in the mornings, rarely do I have a second cup. I use sugar free creamer.

    I usually drink between 16-32oz of coffee a day. But I have finally managed to start drinking it black. I used to have cream and sugar but slowly got off that. I love black coffee now!! Although I made a horrible brew this weekend so I threw a little skim milk and sugar and I forgot how good it makes it!!!

    Coffee is brown nectar of the gods to me. I can live without creamer. Heck, if it's even made right I love it black, tho most of the time I use some stevia to sweeten it up a little bit.

    If I don't get at least one cup in the morning, I'm a bear. I have cut down a LOT, tho, especially since I started doing some of my workouts first thing in the morning. I would rather have a big ol' glass of water straight out of the gate prior to working out, but after? It's on! LOL...

    Have to have the coffee.. no question about it... The caffeine doesn't even effect me really... I just love the taste of it.. crave it

    I drink it black.

    The only concession I've made is that instead of drinking it all day long, I try to limit myself to only 3 cups per day

    I NEED my coffee but I need my creamer with it. I have cut down a lot on the amount of creamer I use though.

    Sorry if this sounds stupid but I have never heard of creamer. I don't know anyone who uses cream in coffee either.


    Like most people here I just have small amount of milk in it. I don't use sugar or sweeteners myself but many people do.


    I am in Australia

    One cup in the AM for me. I love creamer but if I am all out, I will drink it black. I need a small caffeine jolt in mornings!

    Coffee boosts my potassium. I have about four cups everyday with a little milk to cool it down which logs over 500 mgs. of potassium. Yay for coffee!

    I usually use 1/2 & 1/2 but if I am out, I will use skim milk, almond milk....heck, I may even resort to using formula! I kid, I kid....but I really love my coffee. I would probably drink it black if nothing else was in the house.

    I am not human without coffee-I drink a lot, all day long. I don't have trouble drinking it if we are out of creamer-and I (as well as those around me) are substantially happier if I keep my coffee intake at appropriate levels (meaning lots).

    I'm in it for the creamer. I absolutely love the smell of black coffee but can't get past the bitter taste. If I have flavored creamer, I don't need sugar, but if it's just milk or half and half I need me some sugar in there, too. I have been using less though, trying to slowly get myself drinking something closer to black coffee. I only have about a cup a day, though, so that will take a while. :tongue:
