How Do You Drink Your Coffee?

I use flavored creamer and no sugar. The creamer is usually sweet enough, but I don't drink coffee all that often. Usually a cup or two a week, when I know I can burn those creamer calories off.

Black. If you have to have flavor in your coffee (other than the flavor of the coffee), then you don't like coffee.

I was going to say black. But i guess I won't. I drink way too much coffee. Have completely come to like it black. I probably drink a pot a day.

only one pot lol I am on a reduction plan, doen to two pots now was on 5 pots a day, I drink it in mugs so a pot makes about 5 mugs

depending on my mood depends if I have milk...

but black with mixed spice and ginger is good

With semi-skimmed milk or almond milk, about 100 ml every morning

Tablespoon of fat free half & half and too much Splenda.

I usually do a flavored coffee, Stevia in the Raw, and a touch of Silk light. Comes to about 25 calories.

my new favorite under-20-calorie drink is from starbucks: grande iced black coffee with 2 pumps of sugar free caramel syrup, 2 teaspoons of half and half and 2 splenda.

I love coffee, but like you also like all the add in things that make it fattening.

I've found that if I drink it iced with a packet or two of ideal sweetener, I can handle it black, and sort of like it.

Good luck. Will

I have coffee black on ice with almond or soy milk.

I think the agave is a neat idea. I like my coffee black but when it is a really strong brew I use a splash of vanilla flavored soy milk. It is good for you, low in calories/fat, and is sweet. When you mentioned the agave, it reminded me of when I lived in Texas and someone showed me about putting honey in your coffee. The honey obviously adds calories, but a little goes a long way, and honey is good for your immune system. ESPECIALLY if you get local, seasonal honey - which helps build immunity against any allergies you might have. At least, that is what I have heard from some local beekeeprs in St. Louis. If you can gradually reduce the sweeteners or creamers, you can probably get to where you might surprise yourself and enjoy black coffee as well. Good luck! And, I am looking to increase my friends since I am new here, so if anyone is interested in joining with me, then just send me a note!

Most of the time, I drink it black. Sometimes I'll put a dash of salt in it.

With half a tablespoon of fat free sweetened condensed milk; it adds 28 calories. Sometimes I add a little cocoa powder as well.

I'm looking for ways to drink my coffee without breaking the caloric bank. (I mean, I want most of my calories going into my food, not my coffee, y'know?) Trying to avoid buying coffee creamer because of the insane amount of ingredients in it. I never think 2 tablespoons are enough either. I'd rather avoid cane sugar/fake sugar as well.

This morning, someone here turned me on to pumpkin pie spice-ing (allspice, cinnamon, ginger and clove) with some agave syrup. That brings the grand total to 60 whole calories for my cup. Not counting alittle of my half cup skim milk to it as well for that extra creaminess. It was actually pretty tasty!

So...what creative ways do you drink YOUR coffee? And don't say black. I'm sorry, but I like flavor in my coffee!!

Er.... Buy better coffee and learn how to brew it, and I guarantee you it will have flavor. I drink mine black.

Perhaps I should have just posted this.

How bout keep your rude 'advice' to yourself? I just get Folgers. I prefer to spruce up my coffee. Excuse me for not liking it black.

I am sorry you thought I was rude--I was merely pointing out that quality matters.

Have fun drinking whatever you like drinking. I hope some day you grow to appreciate some coffee with your milk and sugar

The other person was being hypersensitive. Of course quality makes a difference. If you can't, or don't want to pay for it, fine, but cashmere is, and always will be softer than merino.

I drink about 4 cups. In all it adds up to be about a 1/2 cup of skim milk and 2-3 tbls. of vanilla creamer.
