    There is a local coffee roaster in my area so I will stock up every other week to ensure the freshest of roasts. I drink all kinds of roasts, some flavored ... like most of them. I use So Delicious Coconut creamer which has no artificial crap but does contain some sugar. Since the creamer does have sugar, I add monkfruit sweetener in my coffee instead of white sugar. I will always make a mug or two extra and refrigerate it so in the morning before I work out, I can drink a quick iced coffee which helps fuel my workout. Because I deal with aggravating body inflammation, the "warming from the inside out" that coffee gives me during my cardio is beneficial. The coffee also partially blocks those pain receptors so I can push through a workout.

    I prefer the Green Mountain Breakfast Blend kcups and I take it with 3 Equals (or Sweet n Lows) and 3 French vanilla creamers (or 2 tablespoons of creamer). I drink 2 cups a day on weekdays.

    Either black or with a scoop of protein powder. Depends on how I'm doing on my Macros for the week / if i know it'll be a tough protein day.

    I do half 2% milk and half water with a piece of cinnamon stick in it.. Boil it.. Then stir in a spoon of nescafe and 3 splendas... Sometimes half a scoop of vanilla protein powder instead of two of the splendas.

    I love my coffee but am working hard to curb calories. I have been mixing it up:
    flavored coffee, dab of real maple syrup & milk
    On my lifting days - after workout before work - I have a coffee smoothie - coffee, protein powder, ice, splash of milk...

    I love lattes, and finally got my own machine, a Gaggia. Lattes every morning: 2 oz espresso and 1/4 milk (before the foam)

    Starbucks dark roast at home in french press with non-dairy coffee whitener and splenda. If the afternoon, same thing but with skim lactose free milk instead of whitener!

    Definitely a dark roast girl. My current brew of choice is Southern Home's "Fog Cutter," a surprisingly good supermarket brand of coffee. Because of burgeoning lactose intolerance have gone down the sad path from milk to Lactaid and finally to unsweetened soy milk.

  • I've trained myself to like black coffee.

    Trying to keep from consuming too much sugar and the artificial sweeteners hurting my stomach made coffee too complicated.

    Brew, pour and drink makes mornings so much easier.

    Black. Decaf. Sadly, for the past three years or so, I've lost my caffeine tolerance.

    Thank you Keurig for making decaf coffee that actually has flavour.

    I'll have a cup of brewed dark roast with a little bit of vanilla coffee creamer (the natural bliss one) at home while getting ready. When I get to work, I have a hazelnut kcup, black. I don't like it black at home though. I'm weird I guess.

    Dark Roast Community Coffee with one (1) Splenda packet.
  • I used to take it with cream but the cream had to go when I got serious about my diet. It took awhile, but I actually enjoy my coffee black now.

    I drink my coffee Cuban style. Either cafe con leche or a colada.

    IT'S DELICIOUS! I love Cuban coffee. I like the Cuban cafe con Leche but on the darker side of milk, not 50/50 or 75/25.
    At home, we make espresso with creamer and regular sugar, and I'm still losing 1-2 pounds a week!

    Dollar General Donut Shop Coffee with heavy cream or whole milk. No sweetener.

    During the colder months I like blueberry coffee, pumpkin coffee, and a mix as well.

    Fresh-ground from Dunkin Donuts whole beans, with just enough heavy cream to lighten it. No sweetener. I like iced coffee sweet, but not hot coffee.

    My other half takes his coffee with sugar-free flavored creamer, or half-and-half with a splash of sugar-free syrup.

    I prefer Dunkin' Donuts hot regular, with cream & sugar, but that's not goal-friendly. I'll still take cream & sugar occasionally, like if I'm eating out as a bit of a treat, but day to day I drink coffee from our Flavia coffee machine at work, and I can handle the Hazelnut and French Vanilla black. Someone upthread mentioned "a few drops of Stevia"... I've never tried that but might give it a shot. Straight black coffee is something I drink to wake up, not to enjoy.

    Cafe Special Community Coffee with 3 packets of Splenda and 1/2 tablespoon of Skinny Syrup (0 calories and 0 sugar). I alternate between English Toffee, Salted Caramel, and French Vanilla. Sometimes I add French Vanilla flavored Splenda packs.

    To quote B.A. Baracus from A Team, "In a cup, fool." lol

    I like a bold coffee, and black. Not like my daughter made me one time. She thought I liked it strong, as in more scoops of regular coffee.... Didn't work out so well.
