    How do I LIKE my coffee? Strong, and full of cream and sugar. How do I TAKE my coffee, black with a splash of cream and no sugar.

    1/2 cup skim milk, 1/2 cup (very strong) coffee. I used to have 7-8 cups a day but I'm down to 1-2 now because the coffee at work tastes like tar..

    my coffee = TEA! but when I do drink coffee it has to be an overly sweet frappuccino with lots of caramel and whipped cream! Except that happens about once a year :laugh:

    I use Baileys mudslide coffee creamer only 35 calories with a coffee packet and no sugar added since the creamer sweetens it so calories come out at 35 since theres no calories in the coffee

    I am, like you, a huge coffee drinker. I love, love, love my coffee! I have made many changes in my diet over the last few months, biggest ones being a lot less sugar and unhealthy fats. One thing I refuse to let go off is my half and half. I am so good with my diet that I figured this is the only "bad" thing I allow myself. I've tried almond milk too, and even though it's my favourite milk, I do not like it in my coffee. I don't think it's a good idea to cut out your favourite foods from your diet, because you have to do this for the rest of your life...You gotta live a little....

    I used to have it light and sweet, now it's either with just an ounce of milk or 2 tablespoons of creamer.

    I drink 2 giant cups, 16 ounces, of coffee with 1/4 cup whole milk in each cup. I would prefer almost 1/2 a cup milk or even a whole bunch of cream or half and half but I can't trust myself with full fat cream. The calories really add up with whole milk. I don't like fat-free half and half because of all the crap in it. I also can't stand drinking coffee black or with nut milks, even though I like my smoothies with unsweetened almond milk and used to drink soy milk a lot. I use a French Press or make lattes with the expresso machine.
    I prefer Ethiopian Harrar coffees. They really taste like blueberry if properly roasted, strongly of blueberries. The Harrar coffee is hard to find but very distinctive flavor. I also like coffees from Sumatra, Brazil and Yemen, plus a few other countries.
    I also have a very expensive Panama Geisha, at $25 a pound, which tastes like jasmine tea and is very good,too. Some people claim this is the best tasting coffee in the world. I like it but have others I prefer.
    Once you try fresh roasted with some good beans and a good brew, it's really hard to drink store bought or drip coffee in a cheap drip machine.
    I really would like to learn to enjoy black coffee, but I just can't seem to get used to it. I keep trying and I'm decreasing the milk so hopefully, I'll finally get used to it.
    I've been drinking really white coffee since I was in 4th grade! I'm nearly 50 now so I've been drinking it with either creamer, cream or milk for a long time.

    I wish I could drink my coffee black!! I like mines with flavored creamers. My fave is the white chocolate macadamia nut creamer. The creamers are sweet enough for me.

    I am a big coffee lover and former barista so I knew I needed to get my coffee in a yummy way without blowing my calories out of the water.

    2 scoops GNC Total Lean Chocolate Peanut butter powder, 6 oz cold coffee, 2 oz milk, 2oz water, shake with ice.

    Its perfect! Its my breakfast and coffee all in one for only 220 cals! Its sooooo delish...

    How do I take my coffee?

    Same way I prefer my women. Nicely brown, like a latte.
    So hot, but not too sweet, I want a little bite.

    I am a big fan of unsweetened soy milk in my coffee. Depending on where you live, the coffeeshops may have soy milk available. usually they have a sweetened vanilla version (which is a nice treat, since i no longer put sugar in my coffee). I find soy "creamier" than almond milk or rice milk. another thing to try at home is 1-2 T of coconut milk...adds some fat but it is delicious!

    Coffeemate sugar-free French Vanilla creamer or half & half with some Splenda. Depends on my mood. I have tried a couple times to drink it black but I just can't get used to it that way ...

    Made me think of the Eddie Izzard quote:

    I like my coffee like I like my women: hot, strong....with a spoon in them.

    About a teaspoon of sugar and a splash of milk.

    usually from dunkin donuts med iced coffee with butter pecan swirl and skim milk.
    if i make at home its with coffee mate or international delight creamer. I usually use 3 tbsp of flavored creamer to 8 oz of coffee.
    There is one creamer that i found it was fat free and sugar free i think it was by international delight--it was some kind of carmel one but i cant find it again.

    Very odd, but it's my breakfast - I make 28 oz of coffee, to which I add 2 tbl coconut oil and 4-6 oz of almond milk. I mix in the magic bullet for 1-2 minutes and then put it in my thermos to take to work.

    I typically drink mine with the individual coffee mate creamers. That way I can just pop in 3 to my big travel mug and know how many to track on my diary. I only drink one cup a day, and its only 90 extra calories. Definitely worth it to avoid the headaches and all the cravings for my morning cup of joe.

    I like my coffee strong (two spoons per cup!) with skimmed milk.
