    Black, but it has to be GOOD coffee. No cheap stuff.

    I usually do cream and sugar, however one thing I like doing is a breakfast to go smoothie.

    I brew a small k-cup ( i liked the mocha swirl one)
    Put that with ice, vanilla protein powder, a bit of vanilla almond milk and 2 tbsp of chocolate syrup.

    Delicious and filling - caffeine and breakfast to go!

    I'll take it almost any way, depending on how desperate I am lol. If things are ideal: I have somewhat freshly roasted beans, freshly ground and then prepared in a press. I almost exclusively drink dark roast, black. But, I do have a Vue and I like a few things I can make with it, and sometimes I'll add a flavored creamer to my pressed coffee.

    - the problem with coffee is I can't leave it alone once I buy it in and then my head hurts when I drink too much.

    Now "I take tea my dear" - Breakfast Tea at breakfast and Assam later on - both refreshing and no headaches.

    I can't do tea if I haven't eaten in a while or I get ravenous for some reason. So I have coffee...

    It depends. If I go to a coffee house, americano decaff, black. Mmmm.. So nice and roasty....

    If I am making it from my coffee pot, or getting it from Mac D's, black with two sugar. Not so roasty.

    I am thinking of getting a Areo Press though... That might brew a better cup at home.

    I'm a bit of a coffee freak, and I used to drink a lot of it.

    Now I have one large cup as soon as I can after waking. A lot of people call this "upgraded" or "bulletproof" coffee.

    This all goes in the blender:

    125grams of grass fed organic unsalted butter

    1.5 tablespoons of MCT oil ( Medium chain triglycerides) - basically ultra refined coconut oil.

    1 large heaped teaspoon of Organic Extra Virgin Coconut oil.

    Pour in coffee to french press, I use at least 2 heaped tablespoons of organic wet washed coffee, course ground.

    Blend and enjoy!

    I've tried loads of variations on this, too much MCT and I feel pukey, not enough and I lack energy!

    I have one large cup at about 7am, and don't then eat until around 1 or 2pm.

    I do the above as part of a low carb/ high fat/ protein diet, that so far has worked very well.:happy:

    Used to take it with like two tablespoons of half and half and a lot of sweetener, but lately I've needed no cream and maybe two packets of splenda per 12 oz of coffee. But I cannot drink the cheap stuff like this.

    Edit: I also drink cuban coffee, a lot. Espresso with sugar mixed in. 4g of sugar per 30mL serving, and as much caffeine as a regular cup of drip coffee, but so delicious.

    I brew Dunkin at home and add powdered coffee cream, I tried black but cannot do it. Since I have given up eating junk food this is my one indulgence.

    Organic, fair-trade, coffee beans brewed in my French press. Then I put my homemade coconut milk creamer in it. Yummmy!

    Honestly, depending on the brand it's either black, add in a bit of milk or cream (depending on what's available) or Mom likes her Coffeemate so she puts some in every time she makes me a cup...
