    I usually drink just "one" cup (12 oz, more or less) in the morning with breakfast. I don't use any sweetener, but I pour in a splash of unsweetened original almond milk about 1/2 the time.

    If I have more than that, I'm like a squirrel running up the wall...I am waaaay hyper in general. Occasionally I'll have coffee in the evening but again, just one cup and often I'll go with a smaller cup.

    I mostly like the comforting, cozy feeling of coffee in the morning and feel like it goes well with breakfast foods.

    I can't drink coffee in the evening unless it's decaf, or I'll be up all night!

    I love coffee! At home I buy Brazilian coffee from a local place that roasts it themselves - been going there about 20 years. I used to grind them every day, but then I got tired of it - I could never get it right. Now I buy a pound every 10 days or so and have them grind it. I love a french press, but it gets cold too fast.

    I probably drink 6-10 cups (8-10 oz mug) a day. And if I go into my office I might have a cup or two. I drink it black.

    And no, it doesn't keep me up at night. I sleep well unless I'm under a lot of stress. My parents had coffee after dinner every night and it never bothered them either. No decaf for me!

    I love coffee! Though I usually only drink one cup a day. Sometimes two. I always add flavored creamer to mine. My favorites are caramel mocha and amaretto. Starbucks is my favorite brand.

    3-4 Cups a day depending on work schedule. I switched to black in January and haven't gone back. I actually find I am liking a stronger taste lately.

    I drink 3 cups a day and have been able to cut out creamer and sugar. I usually finish this all before 8:30 in the morning, and then have no more caffeine the rest of the day... helps me sleep at night.

    I love coffee, used to get the sugar syrup cream filled million calorie ones from any coffee shop I passed. The big bucket sized cups too. I was a sucker for any kind of 'seasonal flavours' loaded with sugar. I'd have what I wanted and called it a treat, then realised I was going out of my way to have lots of treats, it was a habit. Once I actually looked at the calories I was consuming I changed it up.
    Now i treat myself to a Tassimo chai latte with a big spoonful of coffee in it (dirty chai) every morning (99 cal) and after that it's just plain black coffee maybe with some sugar free flavoured syrup in it if I'm feeling fancy. I've just discovered hazelnut milk and I'm quite liking that in coffee too.

    I drink one mug a day in the morning, every day. I agree coffee should be black, but mine is far from it lol I use 4 tablespoons of sweet cream creamer! Still, despite the added calories, I have a much easier time sticking to the diet when a start the day off with my sugary coffee.

    Why must it be so bad to have sugar coffee? :weary:

    Black, if I make it a whole pot, maybe 2. If my husband makes I have to cut it with water and then it's maybe a cup. He likes dark roast coffees and makes it strong enough you can chew :s

    I love my coffee. I usually buy Starbucks and brew it at home. I am cutting back on Splenda and use sugar free hazelnut creamer.

    I drink a pot of coffee every day, usually with just a little original creamer (15 calories per tbsp), occationally a flavored creamer, and once every couple weeks, a latte
