Help me make coffee suck less

2 tbsp of half and half in high-quality coffee, and I'm good to go on 40 calories.0

To all who have asked--I have very weak, sensitive teeth, so drinking soda isn't an option for me. I already drink a LOT of green tea; it just isn't enough caffeine. I love hot drinks, so that's why I'm asking for coffee recommendations.1

Take a caffeine pill with a hot beverage that you do like.0

I vote for keeping the teeth healthy for sure but hating coffee so much you need stuff to add to it to make it suck less, sounds like you need to get away from the coffee and maybe go to hot cocoa or hot teas of various tastes or something else besides coffee!
But you need caffiene fix, use the caffeine tablets from your pharmacy. Cheap and easy..
This thread is sort of old, haven;t found an alternative yet... LOL ???1 -
#1. You need to start with good quality coffee and it needs to be mild. Read the labels and do Not choose medium or dark roast. Look for a mild Kona coffee from Hawaii, or if you live near an HEB, Taste of San Antonio is good. #2. You need a tablespoon of Promised Land Whole Milk.1

Have you tried cold-brewed? You soak the ground coffee beans in cool water for 12 hours or so, and the result is much milder (but contains less caffeine) than hot coffee:

It can be warmed in the microwave or added to a warmed, yummy mixture of cream/half-half and flavorings.

If you don't need them very often, you could try caffiene tablets. You can get them in the pharmacy next to the allergy relief meds. I wouldn't recommend doing them for long periods of time, but they really help for the occassional frumpy day.0

I love coffee but what I do sometimes instead of drinking it is make coffee yogurt. Yup, sounds gross but it's delish. You get good quality instant coffee (it's strong, I think one teaspoon probably equals a cup, I like Jacobs) and splenda. Buy plain Greek yogurt or make your own. Add some coffee and splenda to your taste, mix, mix, mix, and enjoy. You're still getting your caffeine, with a shot of protein. My next mission is to make coffee frozen yogurt to substitute my beloved coffee ice cream.1

That sounds good. Thanks for the tip!
Let us know how the frozen experiment turns out?
PS You can also use liquid sucralose or stevia blend without the carb fillers that are added to the powdered stuff.0 -
As some said make sure the pot is fresh. I like using evaporated milk it tastes good and is healthy too. I do prefer it sweet and use Splenda / sucralose.

I'm a teacher, and I absolutely hate coffee. However, I force myself to drink it on select occasions when I just CAN'T function. I usually add a couple tablespoons of creamer to my coffee, but those calories quickly add up and make my total breakfast calories way too high.
I tried putting my unsweetened vanilla almond milk in my coffee yesterday, and it was absolutely disgusting.
Help! What can I add to my coffee to make it low-calorie AND taste halfway decent?
I like my coffee black, but when I want to spicy this gs Up I hit it with a scope of chocolate protein, mix it well with spoon or pre-mix it. I call it Promoch, no milk just proteins and coffee.

This has been at the top of the board for days. One way to get stuff to suck less is to do it yourself.
- Go to a good vendor of green (raw) coffee beans. The best one I know is Sweet Maria's.
- Pick out some beans or maybe a selection of them. There's a lot of good advice on the site.
- Choose a roasting method. If you don't want to spend $s for roasting equipment use the cowboy method. After you've tried it once or twice I'll give you my experience with it if you ask nicely.
- Invest in a burr grinder. You kinda have to have one of these.
- Choose a brewing method and get your equipment for that. Can be cheap and simple or expensive and complicated. You can make good coffee either way.
- Experiment with beans, roasts, and brews 'til you get it the way you like.
- Roast once per week and grind for each brew.
