    Artificial sweeteners do not cause health issues, so if you like stevia then by all means use it.

    I currently use stevia, but sometimes I worry this causes health issues as with all other no-calorie sweeteners. It is natural, but is it safe? Opinions?

    Stevia is not an artificial sweetener in the first place.

    I use 4 pkts of Splenda and 1 tblspoon of butter (morning cup). I sometimes use heavy cream, but if I don't have it, it's no big deal. The rest of the day, it's black with 4 pkts of splenda.

    Nothing! I find a quality coffee needs no additive. I'm drinking a dark Colombian roast right now, delicious!

    Soy milk. It's sweet enough that i don't need to add sugar and I like the nutty flavour.

    Sometimes I'll have my coffee black with sugarless gum.

    I have a 32 oz coffee with half a cup of sugar free vanilla creamer. The creamer adds 120 calories, but it's totally worth it!!!

    I prefer it black. Back in college I liked it about half milk/half coffee, learned to drink it black in my 20s just by reducing the milk (and because milk often was not available and I hate the non dairy creamer stuff). Sweetened coffee has never appealed to me -- part of what I enjoy about coffee is that it's not sweet and sugar doesn't seem to go with it at all to me.

    Like a guy told me once... I like my coffee like I like my woman, hot, black and bitter.

    I like my coffee like I like my men - ground up and in the freezer.

    Very nearly caused a spit-take with my (black, fresh-made) espresso. Thank you for making my Wednesday better!

    heavy cream (just a splash) and Truvia - 1 packet per cup - but only first thing in the morning. When I drink it later, black as the Devil's heart.

    Unsweetened coconut milk and stevia. If I'm feeling really adventurous, chocolate coconut milk and stevia.

    Salt, stevia.
    Milk froth on top. Sprinkled with sugar free hot chocolate mix.
    Sometimes choc or vanilla caramel collagen.

    If I have no milk, I blend the salt, stevia, coffee and protein with coconut oil or coconut butter.

    Just milk for me.

    If you like Stevia, use it. If you don't need a lot of sugar and don't drink a gallon of coffee, use sugar. It doesn't have that many calories, though it will add up if you use enough.

    I use to use 4 TBSP of Silk Soy Vanilla creamer, it's 30 calories a TBSP and 3 grams of sugar. But having 2 cups of coffee a day that really added up, 240 calories and 24 grams of sugar. So I cut that out and started using 4 TBSP of Califia Almondmilk creamer which wasn't as bad at 15 calories a TBSP and 2 grams of sugar but I realized that's still a lot of sugar, 16 grams a day for my coffee. So now I use LIDL's sugar free hazelnut creamer, it's only 15 calories a TBSP and no sugar. And this is saying something for me considering 3 or 4 years ago I would have a ratio of 1/2 sweet creamer to 1/2 coffee.

    I normally put "unsweetened almond milk" from Trader Joe's or "caramel macchiato" creamer from International Delight when I drink Peet's coffee. However, as of recent I started drinking "Kicking Horse" coffee from Canada and it honestly doesn't taste well with the two things I normally add. So I drink that particular coffee black or by itself.

    I used to be a sugar and half-and-half girl, but about a year ago, I gave up the sugar. I usually take a dash of skim milk, but when I drink it at work, I drink it black. I don't miss the sugar at all.

    I typically drink a tall blonde in a grande cup. So, yes - Starbucks. And, I was putting in a TON of half-and-half! Which I was not tracking. I mean, I had a good 1/4 cup - at least - of half-and-half.

    Last week I stopped that mess. Now I am drinking a tall blonde, no room and two or three packets of Stevia. S dash or two of cinnamon and - when it is there - a packet of honey.
