How do you take your coffee?

I take my coffee black, from coffee bushes selected personally by the Most Interesting Man in the World. The raw coffee cherries are consumed by unicorns and the beans are then picked by hand from the unicorn droppings to be selected and dried.
The green beans are then roasted in an mithril oven heated by the fires of Mount Doom, inscribed with the 1000 sacred names of Juan Valdez in the ancient tongue. The roasted beans are then ground by my personal hobbit manservant in a vessel forged by the dwarven kings.
The water is melted from the snows of Narnia, and the coffee is brewed in the traditional method by a Japanese barista who has studied under his master for 30 years in the sublime art of heating the coffee water. The brewed coffee is served in a goblet made from dragon claw and served on a crystal platter.

If anyone approaches my coffee with coconut oil or butter, they are immediately impaled by a rampaging unicorn.1 -

Same here! I get the sugar free version and add a teaspoon of Splenda. Very satisfying in the morning.0 -
I have to use this instant acid-neutralized stuff now*, because my GERD doesn't stand coffee while I love it! So I use heavy cream or real half n half and a no-calorie sweetener. If I drink normal coffee, I have to use mostly milk due to the acid.
Very soon, I'll get to use eggnog in it! I love that. I love eggnog. I then have more eggnog for breakfast
Has anyone tried the peppermint bark white chocolate Bailey's? I love their creamers and will surely try that this time of year, too
* the less-acid stuff is called Kava for anyone else with GERD-coffee issues.0 -
Very rarely
But just a regular cappuccino or flat white.
Never one of those Starbucks/Gloria Jeans monstrosities people seem to drink that are 2% coffee and 98% chocolate and cream.
If you don't want a coffee, just buy a sundae or milkshake else where for like half the price.

I use that one too. I originally got it because it was the Boba Fett creamer in the Star Wars creamers (yes, I'm weak...don't judge me), but I ended up liking it and kept buying it. So much for sticking to black coffee.0 -
Black. Not a coffee fan so whenever I do drink it, it's only for the caffeine; not the taste.0

Starbucks holiday blend with 2 ice cubes and some liquid stevia0

Starbucks French Roast, black with one packet of Splenda0

I drink 32 ounces cold with 1/3 cup skim milk!!! YUM0

Black and usually cold. Every now and then when I want something a little bit different, I'll have a mocha with either skim milk, or no milk.0

Used to be able to get coffee - freshly roasted beans, fresh off the boat. It would have been sacrilegious to put anything in it! The taste of that coffee was almost sweet on its own. Now, having moved almost an entire continent away from that luxury - no bean ships coming in from South America, no roasting houses on the Embarcadero, no intoxicating fragrance of fresh beans roasting - *sigh*. I tried to drink the dross that is called coffee in most of the country but... nope. Just can't do it. It is bitter and lacks the sweet aftertaste of "real" coffee. For a while, I tried loading it down with sugar and French Vanilla Coffeemate. Then I switched to a 'dash' of Bailey's Irish Cream. (Now THAT is good but you've got to put in so much Bailey's to mask the flavor of the bad coffee Why bother with the coffee!) I just gave up on even trying to find good coffee anymore... with the exception of chugging a shot of Turkish in the morning every now and then when summer comes. (One shot glass of that stuff at six a.m. is like drinking five cups of (heavily sugared) coffee! But it'll get you going for the day.)
These days, I am mostly a "water baby". And, with that, I do like MIO Orange Vanilla flavoring. And, as the winter weather comes on, I start drinking more and more herbal tea. (My latest infatuation is Kroger's Private Selection Sweet Cinnamon Herbal Spice Tea. It's so sweet, it really doesn't need much sugar at all.) Though I am seriously considering buying coffee beans, green and frozen, and start roasting my own!
And, when it comes to sugar? NO ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS! Cannot do the chemicals. Try to eliminate them from my diet - hence my body - as much as possible. I'd rather have a 25 calorie rounded teaspoon of real sugar and forego a bite of bread (which I also make fresh!) or something than dump a lot of extra chemicals into my system.
That's just me, though. I figure if I work so hard to get and keep my body in good, healthy condition, why would I want to contaminate it with a bunch of chemicals if I don't have to?0 -
My usual - skinny extra dry cappuccino with 3 shots, please!
I try to cut down because I can have about 5 and still feel tired.0 -
Drip coffee with a spoonful of raw sugar and a blend of 2% milk and Califia Coconut-Almond milk that I heat up first.0
-
I only drink black coffee or fruit tea at home and skinny latte from Costa maybe once a month0

Where are you finding Mio Orange Vanilla without artificial sweetners?1 -
Whole milk or half and half. Despite my best intentions, my half and half usually winds up in my yogurt makers instead of in my coffee cup.0

I have been drinking coffee black for as long as I can remember. That's just how my family always drank it, so it's how I drink it. I've also always preferred dark roasted coffees. Right now, I'm loving an Italian roasted Brazilian coffee from Nossa Familia.0

I came to ask the same question. So funny.
And, of course, because the "c" word got invoked...
Also, I drink my coffee black.2 -

No. That's my one concession to "the dark side"; although, technically, the sweetening agents in MIO are natural sweeteners*. But I can't drink straight water (Where I live, it tastes like sewer water if you try to drink it straight!) and half the bottled waters on the market taste like oil and the other half taste like chemicals.
Propyleneglycol is "natural" though it is not actually a sweetener but only mimics the sweet sensation in your tastebuds so... it's an artificial sweetener. And that, as I said, is my one concession to the dark side. =|0 -

I add two tablespoons of half and half to my coffee thermos in the morning. Working on getting to black I think. This is pretty close. I cut sweeteners a while ago!0
