    Black. Strong and Bitter...

    Speaking of which... Better chug mine down before it gets cold!

    Not where I thought you were going with that...

    Coffee is an extremely important part of my morning. We also tend to make our strong, so I use regular half & half and some sugar. I do like flavored creamers, but I'm starting to think the calorie overload isn't worth it.

    With a lighter-brewed coffee, I can get away with just creamer, but I cannot drink it black. If there's no creamer, I'll use milk, but it's not the same.

    the Girl Scouts Samoa flavored creamer.

    :noway: This... this is a thing that exists? Oh man.

    No kidding... I definitely need to find these alleged Girl Scout creamers! I usually just use a couple packets of sweetener and either a little skim milk, sugar free liquid creamer, or protein powder.

    double/triple short Espresso no sugar/sweetener/milk (except if it turns out to be crap coffee or poorly made then some sugar to take the edge of the bitterness) otherwise i don't drink coffee, I drink a lot of tea though (with a little stevia usually if it is strong black tea)

    Black. I used to serve it to people at Mcd's in the mid 90's, before they put cream and sugar in for you. People would spill coffee in their car between their legs all the time trying to add the cream and sugar. So I decided black was the way to go.

    I like my coffee strong, topped with steamed skim milk. Sometimes I'll add a touch of maple syrup.

    With half & half and sweetener. I usually use Splenda, but recently discovered the monk fruit stuff. I like it a lot. Way better than Stevia. I usually use about 100 calories worth of cream a day.

    Never "dripped," only pressed. I have several presses so that I don't have to tote them back and forth to different fire houses for shifts, I just keep one at each, with my special one at home. And STRONG; forget that 1 scoop for every 8 ounces. My 27 ounce press gets 7 scoops of perfection. And only Colter Coffee Organic Thunderbolt goes into the press....I love rich, dark coffee but hate the "bright acidity" that seems to be so prevalent and that seems to burn a hole in my stomach lining. No such nonsense in this roast. Delish!
    I make my own "creamer" with 1:4 mix of 1 part heavy whipping cream to 4 parts SO No sugar added Vanilla Coconut Milk. A sprinkle of cinnamon a splash of pure vanilla extract, shake it up, a dollop in the cup...and welcome to Coffee Heaven!
    Wow! Reading back over this it makes me sound like a bit of a coffee freak...if the shoe fits, I guess! lol :drinker:

    Community New Orleans Blend medium roast with chicory. Every.single.morning. I used to add skim milk and splenda, but I've chnaged to unsweetened almond coconut milk. And I'm trying to phase out the sucralose in favor of stevia, but the taste is taking some getting used to.

    Stopped putting sugar in my coffee when I was a teenager. I have it black if I am also having yogurt, I have it with skimmed milk if I am not having yogurt. I cold brew my coffee, very smooth and not bitter.
