How do you take your coffee?
Replies

A couple of splendas, sugar free vanilla syrup and a splash of unsweetened cashew milk0

I like espresso in a whole cup (8oz) of 2% milk, and two packets of that raw sugar. I figure milk at least has some nutrition. I actually like 2% better than whole milk in coffee, can't figure out why, I hate skim milk in coffee (like it in cereal) and like whole milk in tea, but in coffee that 2% fat milk rocks. I can enjoy it without sugar if it has that much milk but like it better with the sugar, not too much though.
We have a manual milk frother thing, a little pot with a screen that you push up and down, that makes a nice foam for the coffee.0 -
I can't stand the taste of coffee, but love espresso. I use our Nespresso during the week (and buy it from a coffee shop on the weekends), and always use two shots, a cup of 2% Probiotic milk, and 2 pumps of french vanilla syrup. Not the healthiest, but it's the one 'food' item I will not give up or alter. I've tried skim milk and can do it, but it just tastes to water-y. I've tried sugar free syrup and good god that was sick. The aftertaste was absolutely rancid. Because that's my daily vice, I make sure to cut back in other areas.0

I usually have mine with just one teaspoon of creamer and thats it. sometimes I will add sugar free flavorings but I learned how to like it without sugar,if its regular coffee hubby will add cinnamon and other spices to the pot while brewing(sometimes pumpkin pie spice).0

I drink it black. Have for years.1
-
If it is the crap they have at the office I add a cream. Good stuff I just take black. I will also make a coffee, protein shake but that can end badly if the coffee is too hot.0
-
If i really need a pick me up? Rectally.4

I now drink mine black with not quite a tsp of sugar. That's only about 12 calories per cup, but it's the dark chocolate I eat with it that adds the calories! I try to stick to one square each morning for a total of about 100 calories, but it's difficult!0

Iced coffee junkie over here, even with the cold weather coming in. Unsweetened with 2 tbsp of heavy cream. I have 2 max per day.
I used to be a caramel macchiato fiend but I learned to cut it out.0 -
Just like my women.....bitter, black, and free...2
-
I drink mine with an 80 calorie packet of hot chocolate... I just have one 6 to 8 oz cup a day. The coffee and the hot chocolate is free at work.1

Black.0

Like my women... Dirty and from a gas station
JK!!
I like to add vanilla protein muscle milk (or whatever brand I have) instead of cream and add a couple Stevia packets.3 -
I take my coffee very seriously!
Actually, I can drink it with cream & sugar, just cream and now..after discovering how many calories are added with cream..
I drink it black.

I just realized that my daily 20oz coffee is 240 calories a day! that's a small meal, or at the very least, a good snack! I usually use 4 sugar packets, 4 splenda packets, and 3/4 a cup of half and half! Yikes....any suggestions on how I can still indulge in my creamy coffee....but make it a little lighter??
Are you using 4 sugar packets AND 4 splenda packets?? You don't need both.
Since I've been on MFP I don't actually add sugar to my coffee or tea anymore. For my coffee it is just enough creamer or milk to change the colour from simply black coffee. Tea I use with a little milk and no sugar.0 -
Holy Cow! One splenda packet would make it too sickeningly sweet for me. I like it black.0
-
I used to have coffee with milk and two sugars, when I started at MPF I tried various combinations (milk/no milk, sugar, less sugar, sweetener etc) but didn't like any of them. Then I thought I'd try black - nothing else. Love it, and now drink black coffee. About 4 calories.2
-
I have coffee with just a small amount of skim milk, about 20 calories per cup.
no sugar or sweetener1 -

20 oz of coffee sounds terrifying to me - I'm European, used to Italian style coffee - to me coffee is a thick non translucent liquid, consumed with a splash of real milk (not powdered creamer), in a small cup. I have a couple of those a day. I sometimes have them black, sometimes with a tiny bit of sweetener or sugar (like a third of a packet of sugar, just enough to take the bitterness edge off).1

Tiny splash of heavy whipping cream with a bit of coconut oil.0

Tastes great to me like a regular coffee with creamer. The trick for me is to make a slurry with a little cream before tempering in the hot coffee or else you will get a clumpy mess.0 -

yeah, i just want to point out that if you use a non-whey protein regardless of the method you end up with a nasty clumpy mess. Atleast from my experience i've yet to see a vegan protein powder that doesn't go all disgusting in coffee.0 -
@OP, i rarely drink coffee because i like it like you do.
I now generally drink flavored teas (black, green, and white being my favorites).
Otherwise, if i must drink coffee i drink it with ONE creamer, 2 splendas, and about 6-8 ounces total.1 -

I have no experience with vegan anything so I can't comment on that. I use Quest protein powder, ON protein powder and MusclePharm Cookies and Cream protein powder. All of these have worked well in my coffee.0 -

Yeah, before i started having issues with dairy i used ON. Worked great.0 -
I make a latte with almond milk and some sweetener drops I found. It's about 28 calories a cup, and delicious. If I'm feeling super extravagant, I'll use proper syrup which bumps it up to about 70 calories.0

Coffee, black.
Now all I need is a cigarette and a heart break.0 -
You have to figure out where you want to spend your calories. I'd rather spend mine on food than drinks so I learned to drink it black. Sometimes I'll have some skim milk in it but I like it just fine black now, and find it hard to drink if there's sweetener in it.0
