    I like the occasional cappuccino...but pretty much I drink my coffee black, including iced coffee. I enjoy really good coffee and don't really need anything in it. Top shelf coffee beans ground fresh daily are where it's at.

    Very good. No need to camouflage the real thing with so much sweetness.

    Strong french press, 2 tbsp cream and 1 sugar.

    Otherwise I mix chocolate protein powder and whole milk into strong coffee, tastes like a mocha :)

    This random coffee place makes the BEST ice capps in the world, 180 calories for a small, easily fits into my day.

    Ooh. Love <3 French-Pressed Coffee, but I'm lazy during the week and use the Ninja. We use the French Press on the weekends, though and it's definitely the freshest, best tasting way to have your coffee.

    I usually drink Turkish coffee, no sugar. If I want something sugary on the other hand, I take those 3 in 1 coffee baggies estimated around 75 cals, and mix 'em with water. Keeps me happy and my cravings away.

    What's wrong with regular old coffee? I sometimes have turkish-style with no sugar, and I usually average a cappucinno a day, regular milk, no sugar, decent sized mug.

    I work out of cofes a lot, so slowly nursing a single cup of coffee for hours - usually just about the cheapest thing on the menu - is one of life's great pleasures, sources of academic productivity and concentration and best returns on investment that I have. I've never had too much trouble fitting into my calories, even when I'm sticking to 1200.

    Starbucks Cold Brews (sweet vanilla cream is my favorite. I'm wanting to try the toasted coconut, but my local ones haven't had the cold brew to make it). And the light caramel frapp + an espresso shot.

    I drink 8-10 cups of coffee a day. I just make sure they fit my intake goals.

    Love the cold brew from Starbucks. My current fave is a vanilla sweet cream cold brew, grande. About 100 cals.

    I just started doing iced chocolate whey coffees - 1 scoop ON double chocolate whey + 8 oz iced coffee. Super good! I also have heard good things about Premier Protein Caramel in coffee as creamer.

    I've got to try this now that it's summer and I'm doing cold brew. I tried adding whey to hot coffee but that didn't agree with my blender.

    Stōk cold brew, unsweetened with just a little half and half. It's sooooo. Damn. Good. Totally cut my coffee calories by 3/4 with that.

    I love cold brew coffee. Because it's much less bitter than hot-brewed coffee, I don't need to put any milk or sweetener in it. I can drink it black and enjoy the rich coffee taste on its own. I can't drink hot coffee black unless it's the highest-end, most stupidly-expensive stuff, but I love cold brew black, even made with everyday coffee beans.

    You can easily make it yourself. Combine ground coffee (your regular brand) and cold water in a container -- a French press if you have one (because the built-in strainer makes it easy), but a jar or pitcher is fine too. Let sit overnight or up to 24 hours (I like the longer brew times). Strain and serve over ice. Store any extra in a covered container in the fridge (but not longer than a few days or it'll get moldy, ew), or freeze in an ice cube tray to serve the next batch over ice without watering it down!

    My treat is a skinny flat white from starbucks which I have maybe once a month. The money I save by not buying expensive, fluffy drinks at SB on a regular basis lets me use high end stuff at home. Organic dark roast beans and grind them fine. Why hide the awesomeness of great coffee? When we travel my "souvenirs" are always bags of locally roasted beans :)

    2 tablespoons of half and half and 2 sugar in the raw.

    I try to make my second or third coffee of the day black. I can only afford one to be creamy and sweet, calorie wise.

    I will buy flavored coffee and then add 1oz of skim milk and 1 tsp of Stevia.

    This is a good idea :) after all of thes comments it seems like getting a French press is a good idea if I want to drink it black. I really want to enjoy the true flavour of the coffee! Thanks for the recipe!!

    At home Dark Roast with 1/4 cup 1% milk and stevia. I tried almond milk and coconut milk and I can't get used to it in my coffee. I also buy more expensive coffee brands because cheap coffee is just awful. Starbucks iced Americano with milk and Stevia in afternoons. I love frappucinos in the summer but it's 1x a month kida treat and always a tall only.

    Regular coffee, 1/4 cup skim milk, Splenda. Less than 50 calories.

    I hate coffee, except as ice cream flavoring. So I generally drink a diet pepsi a day. Although I am moving away from those a bit recently, and drinking uncaffinated sparkling, flavored water.(not the mineral kind like la croix EW)

    In the summer I drink Vanilla Iced Red Eye, in the winter the same but hot. Hella less fat then the milk in a latte and the milk in the latte makes me feel bloated an heavy. I get it with dark roast, some how the vanilla flavor really blends it nice with the two espresso shots. It Needs no sugar, depending on how much vanilla syrup they use(I can always tell when they forget the vanilla and they know I hate it because I *kitten* lol), I also add half and half, it's like a dank melted coffee ice cream in the summer. Keep in mind every coffee place is kinda different and has different beans with different roasts, so it will change a bit from place to place. You will know when you find the prefect Vanilla Red Eye.

    I always have my coffee and carefully measured creamer in the morning. If I am going out and have calories to spare in the afternoon, I sometimes go to Starbucks.
    -Grande Iced Skinny Cinnamon Dolce Latte or Iced Skinny Vanilla Latte. Either for 80 calories.
    -Grande Iced Cold Brew with Nonfat Milk. 25 calories.
    -Grande Iced Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew. 110 calories
    -Java Chip Light Frappuccino is pretty good too. A tall has 150 calories.

    I usually watch my calories, but I have to have my coffee!
