    i pkg of Truvia and either
    2 tbsp of sugar free Coffeemate hazelnut creamer (30cal)
    or
    1 tbsp heavy cream (50cal) and 1 tbsp sugar free Torani Hazelnut syrup (0) for when I am strictly cutting carbs.

    I love sweet flavored coffee, so I guess I am a sissy!

    Oh, and the SF Pumpkin Pie spice flavor is awesome!

    Only black coffee here.

    3 or more cups a day. Sometimes espresso in the afternoon. Coffee is good.

    Never do I blaspheme it by adding stuff.

    Coffee, a big thermos of it in the morning, with 1/4 cup of low fat milk, 4 grams of powdered light coffeemate nondairy creamer, no sugar. Works out to 51 calories, and I don't mind a bit. Gets my engine running with breakfast in the mornings.

    I drink it black or with a teaspoon of sugar in an XL mug (15cals) if I'm craving a bit of sweet. Don't usually want the cookies so much after that so I'd say it's a win.

    Black brewed in a french press or espresso (also black). If I go out to coffee with friends sometimes I'll get a mocha. Now I'm thinking about putting coffee in a blender with ice and some vanilla protein powder that could be a killer protein shake.

    I have cold brewed toddy concentrate coffee, or a french press coffee almost everyday. Occasional I make an espresso. I use coconut creamer from So Delicious when I want it because it has a creamy texture and doesn't add any weird flavors or harmful ingredients and is only 10-20 calories for the amount I use.

    Bulletproof coffee. I finally weaned myself off adding sugar to it, so it's just the coffee, 30g of unsalted butter and a Tablespoon of MCT oil, all whipped up in a blender.

    Black, no sugar. It tastes better that way.

    Same here. I don't understand why people ruin perfectly good coffee with sugar (or, God forbid, flavored creamer).

    Amen

    Black, no sugar, but sometimes English Toffee flavored stevia drops if I'm bored.

    With creamer (4 tsp=60 cal) and sugar (2tsp=30) 90 calories a cup. I used to not even care and drink it till the pot was gone. Now I have two cups max. I even tried telling myself yesterday "eh I can have more it's just liquid". Lol... but I refrained and had my two cups. Today I started lowering the amount of cream and sugar to wean myself off the flavor.

    I'm the same way..I have to wean myself off the sugar slowly or I just go back to what I was putting in it before

    I have 2 or 3 cups a day. I use fat free french vanilla or fat free hazelnut. I can't drink it black.

    I make a 5 cup pot of coffee most every morning, 6 oz cups, so 30 oz of coffee. I usually use 1 or 2 sugar cubes and about 1/2 cup 2% milk. Some days I drink yesterday's left over coffee and once in awhile I skip coffee. Normally coffee is the first thing I do in the morning. I usually buy Green Mountain Coffee or some other high quality coffee, I do not like the cheap coffees like maxwell house or folgers.

    sometimes 5% cream sometimes skim milk.

    Anyone that puts artificial sweetener in theirs should face the banhammer :explode:

    2 tsp Stevia and 1 Tbsp sugar free creamer. It's only like 15 calories.

    Just started drinking mine black. I like a little creamer but I'm giving black coffee a chance for awhile.

    Got to have my coffee. I will sacrifice in other areas for it. I drink one cup in the morning and one in the evening with 2 tbs half and half and 1 tsp sugar. I count it as 80 calories per cup. Not sure if that is right. OK , just looked it up and it is more like 56 calories. Even Better!!

    Actually quite the opposite!! Plain black coffee is healthy for you. It has natural antioxidants and the caffeine is a stimulant that can increase your metabolism. 3 small cups is a decent coffee intake!

    I love coffee, I couldn't drink it without french vanilla creamer before...but, now I'm down to raw sugar and a splash of skim. I'm working on getting rid of both though.

    Black. But I often use flavored coffee for the taste.
