    Demerara sugar is my favorite for coffee and tea. It has a lovely subtle caramel flavor.

    None. I drink it with a bit of lowfat milk but no sweetener. Sometimes I'll drink it black.

    I usually drink it black but sometimes it's nice to add cocoa powder (8 calories for a 3g serving). Or cocoa powder and almond milk (~30 calories) to make it a mocha.

    For personal taste, none. If I were going to add something, I'd add a bit of milk.

    i don't use any currently, but xylitol was the only non-sugar sweetener i could stand. splenda gives me seizures. all other artificial sweeteners taste bloody awful to me (very bitter), and while stevia is nice and natural, i find it has a funny aftertaste.

    Usually a splash of 1% milk, but with Christmas at hand I am using 1 tsp of sugar free peppermint mocha creamer. Chemical taste yes, but oh so good. Also very good in diet cocoa.

    i use canderel
    i like the idea of stevia but find it has a very odd taste

    used to use a spoon of brown sugar but can no longer tolerate much sugar (short gut syndrome)

    Stevia - rarely notice an aftertaste, but when I do it is not unpleasant, to me at least

    I usually don't add sweetner, but when I do it's either honey or Nectresse.

    Xylitol is toxic to pets, very small amounts can kill them. I've never tried it because of this. I won't even bring low cal gum into my house because some are sweetened with it. I have a cat that will destroy a purse to get at a piece of wintergreen gum so i don't risk it.

    i love sweet'n'low in coffee, its sweeter than sugar. I also add a 1/4 cup of lowfat milk to each 8oz cup of coffee.

    I have started drinking mine without sweetener in the last couple days and actually enjoy the taste! My breath is TERRIBLE but that's why humans invented toothbrushes. :)

    Splenda or real sugar in moderation.

    i hadn't heard that. thanks for mentioning that! i rarely use it and have had no ill effects, personally. i do know that some people get gas and diarrhea if they consume too much.

    Usually, sugar-free hazelnut creamer. So now my coffee is 19 calories instead of I-don't-even-want-to-know at Starbucks.

    Ugg yeah, my 38c coffee is my substitute for the 330c starbucks version I used to drink. I still like to use their espresso for the home version sometimes, I ♥ the extra caffeine content.

    When I sweeten my coffee, I use the liquid stevia from Trader Joe's.
