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

Ice coffee with Stevia and a splash of almond milk

Black at home with 4 sweetners
Skinny latte and 4 sweeteners on the rare occasion I get one from a coffee shop

Mostly unsweetened, sometimes with a shot of sugar free syrup, or with a sachet of brown sugar.
If I can I add semi skimmed milk; when ordering a coffee in a cafe I'll ask for milk on the side.

When I'm visiting the States I suffer and moan because I hate the typical powdered coffee creamer you get in hotels.

Black. In a cup. But I started where you are and slowly weened myself off. And now, if I go back to something sweet and creamy, I want to gag.

I truly believe coffee is to be enjoyed in it's barest form.

Weird. I get the mouth tingles Stevia, but not from Splenda. I prefer the drops to the powder. And a tiny splash of unsweet vanilla almond milk.

PS - most the sugar free syrups DO have Sucralose (Splenda) in them.

I always make my coffee at home. I just add a couple tsps. of sweet creamer and that's all. If I go out for a coffee its on a cheat day and I get a big *kitten* special with all the bells and whistles and topped with cream. I figure if I'm going to treat myself (which is nearly never) I'm going to really enjoy it.

I cannot drink black coffee. It tears my stomach up and the one time I did it, I regretted it for days.

I have a 12 oz mug of coffee every morning. I put 4 tablespoons of flavored coffee mate in then fill the mug. Yes it's 140 calories but I accepted long ago that this is one thing I'm not going to change. I tried the sugar free and fat free versions, and they literally make me ill. I tried stevia and it's awful. So I track it every day and accept that I'm dropping that many calories down a hole.

4 Splendas??? That's a lot of Splenda.

I like my coffee progressively darker and less sweet. I mix my first cup with 1/4 cup of 2% milk and about half a Splenda, so it's medium creamy and just a touch of sweetness. When the cup is about half empty, or if it starts to get cool, I add more coffee, but I never add more milk or splenda. This may go on for a while. By the time I finally dump it or finish it or leave for work or whatever, my cup is pretty dark and pretty bitter, but it's delicious. If I'm working at home or it's a weekend, I probably brew multiple pots over the course of the morning, and I end up with basically black coffee.

Black- don't water it down!

A cold brew with a splash of skim milk and a Splenda. The best part of waking up...

Black as hell

Went cold turkey a long time ago w/the sugar; now only use regular 1/2 & 1/2 (tried, but don't really care for it black). Was using non-dairy creamer and finally decided it wasn't healthy so went to 1/2 & 1/2. Was going to use low-fat version (there isn't any) and checked out the non-fat version---it had added sugar so, decided just to use "real" food and went for the reg. 1/2 & 1/2.

No sugar. A little milk.

My husband goes straight black now.

Sugar in coffee is gross to me know. And the chemicals in coffee creamer gross me out. A little milk is all I want. Or a lot in a latte. Lol.

Normally with 2TBS half and half, but lately there's extra cream in the fridge. I don't need as much, but mercy, is it good!!!
