How do you take your coffee?

Ok, so every morning I usually grab coffee at Dunkin’ Donuts. I used to order it light & sweet until I saw the calorie count. I then ordered it with skim milk and 4 Splenda. Apparently I’m allergic to Splenda or something because every time I drank it, my mouth and tongue would go numb. How does everyone drink their coffee if they order it? Almond milk? Cream? I like a coffee a bit sweet

    Usually black but sometimes I will get two sugar free flavor shots. 5 cals. I don't think their syrups contain Splenda but don't hold me to that. I would assume it's maltitol or something.

    Tim Hortons medium regular - 105 calories and totally worth it. Just one per day

    Black! I used to use creamer and sugar, but started drinking black last January--was considering trying Whole 30. Anyway, by my third cup I was completely fine with it! Easy to get used to...highly recommend it if you're looking to reduce calories.

    At Dunkin I get skim and a flavor shot. The shots are only like 40 cals or so, you just want to make sure you don't get a flavor swirl, which is delicious but lots of calories.

    At home I put in a little Ovaltine and some Fairlife 2%, yum :)

    I use two teaspoons of half&half...my stomach can't take black...and a teaspoon and a half of sugar. Tea is the same half&half, but 1.25 sugar. I really miss those light & sweet days...
    @kimny72 I love Ovaltine!

    Almond/cashew milk blend, vanilla and unsweetened on weekdays. On weekends, we have dark roast coffee and I use half and half.

    Black, and I ain't going back.

    I go back all the time.

    Fidelity obviously isn't my thing.

    Either black or with a teaspoon of sugar, usually the latter.

    I make my coffee at home 99.9%, and use 2 TBSP of half and half, sometimes a sugar free flavored (torani does use Splenda for theirs though). I'd rather creamier coffee than sweet.

    At DD I get just cream. At home I use milk. The cream is slightly tastier but the milk has more protein so I usually go that route.

    Either Time Hortons with one cream and one sugar or with vanilla or chocolate coconut milk at home yum :)

    I started drinking tea because milk makes it taste way creamier and i can use way less milk than half and half to get the same creamy taste! But i used to love coffee with cream, nice and light.

    I need my coffee as black as can be. I'll drink Chicory straight if need be. Like my stouts, it needs to be strong and bitter, haha.

    When I'm out, I order in one of two ways...

    Either:

    Skinny cappuccino made with 3/4 hot water, then add my own sweetener

    Or

    Long black with skim milk froth and chocolate sprinkles. Again, I add my own sweetener..

    Cream (at work) or milk (at home). Although lately I've been using eggnog instead of milk. Mmm...

    A tiny bit mixed with my peppermint mocha hot chocolate. Or sometimes flavoring ice cream. Not really much of a fan of coffee on it's own, but sometimes it mskes a nice flavor addition

    At Starbucks I get a flat white or cappuccino non fat milk and add my own sweetener or none at all. It's just milk so even at 100 calories its nutritious and not just syrupy empty calories. Occasionally I'll get a tall sweet non fat drink. At
    Home I make Americanos with 1tb half and half.

    At DD, usually black with flavor shots.
    At Starbucks, I get fraps because I cannot stand the taste of their coffee. It's a chicory thing. Yuck.
    At home, I use vanilla almond milk plus Torani syrups which are so delicious.
