What do you put in your coffee?

I have a serious addiction to International Delight creamers, but I am trying to get off the stuff because it's just not the kind of thing i want to put in my body. What do you put in your coffee? I generally like mine pretty sweet/light. I tried putting sugar and half and half, but the half and half tastes sour to me. I have also tried with milk and same thing. Any other ideas?

If you drink it black I'm sort of jealous.. I wish I could drink it like that, but I just love it sweet.

    Black.
    or at work since we have crappy k-cups, I mix 4oz milk with half a scoop of chocolate prote in powder. Pour some in each cup I drink (3-4 cups of coffee)

    I put a splash of evaporated milk. Since it has a certain sweetness to it, I was able to stop adding sugar (I don't like the taste of artificial sweeteners). Sometimes I sprinkle a bit of cinnamon as well.

    I drink mine straight for the most part.
    I do like the sugar free liquid creamers from Coffee Mate though. I'll occasionally put in a tbsp.

    unsweetened vanilla coffee mate. Not the best but I only have two cups so 2tbsp isn't too bad.

    I used to drink it black with 4 splenda. I found that splenda was not good for me so I went to cream only. If I have coffee at work it's a k cup so I put international delight as well but the hazelnut one.

    Almond milk and Stevia. I love light, sweet coffee too and I found this to be the best combo.

    Fake powdered creamer. I am used to it and actually prefer it now. No sugar or sweetener EVER! I like my coffee to taste like COFFEE! Sometimes black but I grind my beans right before brewing. I have the nerve to be a coffee snob who drinks nondairy creamer, ha ha!

    Half and half. I happen to actually like the taste of coffee, and I feel it's ruined with any kind of sugar or sweeteners. However, during the holidays, I like to sprinkle a little cinnamon on the grounds before brewing for a little festive flavor.

    1/2 cup of full fat milk (measured) is added to my coffee / tea

    I tried getting off the creamers, too. I tried half and half, cashew milk, straight with stevia. I couldn't take it.

    Now I drink the sugar free/fat free creamer with stevia, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Though this time around I fill the cup with more coffee rather than creamer. I only drink International delight because even though Coffee Mate has more intriguing flavors, they just have some sort of weird taste to them.

    Only milk and coffee powder. Nothing else.

    Carnation Fat Free Hazlenut Creamer. 1/4 cup in a 20 ounce cup of coffee. It is worth the calories to me.

    I heat up fat free half-and-half in the microwave for 10 secs, then add coffee.

    Sometimes I use sweetened condensed milk instead of half-and-half for variety (and some sweetness).

    Half and half.

    I like to kick it old school in the morning. Plus, nothing tastes as good to me. Full on cream doesn't blend as well, milk is too watery. I don't want to even hear about putting something sweet in a drink, yuck.

    So, Half and Half it is!
