Coffee...How do you drink yours?

  • We live in the middle of nowhere- so we have Dunkin Donuts delivered to the house every month. I drink mine with splenda and light vanilla soymilk- or flavored creamer once in a while as a treat. I love the new Almond Joy creamer- like drinking a candy bar. Yummers!
  • I used to drink it with cream and sugar cause my parents did (and still do)

    Went to college, it just became more practical to drink black coffee (too lazy/no time to mix stuff, when all you need is the caffeine anyway) I trained myself to drink black coffee. Now, drinking black coffee is like drinking water! Plus it saves cals!

    Ooh I especially love it when I have something sweet to go with it. Like Starbucks' Cake Pops (170-200cals each) Mmmm!

    I usually have 1 16oz mug in the morning with one packet of truvia and some skim milk. And now we are getting closer to fall... I like to add some pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger - any of those things :)

    1-2 cups a day (weekdays), usually hazelnut, caffeinated, a little bit of lactose free milk and that's it

    I like my coffee like I like my men.. Sweet, creamy and smooth.

    I love creamy/milk coffee but was drinking so many calories via milk that I just drink it black mostly now.

    0.25 cup skim milk and a package of splenda.

    Or coffeemate has some new natural creamer which is yummy if you can find it.

    Black or espresso. Major coffee snob. If its bad coffee I just can't drink it. Unless I'm desperate, in which case I'll drink it but complain about it the whole time. :laugh:

    Me too. Can't drink the work coffee it is TERRIBLE so I end up making my own at home. Has to be fresh ground beans :-)

    Used to add milk and sugar but now it's black and I love it!

    I started drinking the office coffee more and more. Sometimes it actually tastes good to me. I feel like I've died a little bit inside. :laugh:

    Regular coffee at the office: Splash of cream
    French Press at home: Black or a splash of 2% milk

    I like my coffee full caffiene, and I drink about two cups a day. I'd drink more, but lately haven't been feeling it.

    Dunkin Donuts Iced coffee-if flavored, cream only.

    If not flavored, 1 cream, 1 sugar.

    I'd love to go to black coffee but I've tried so many kinds and it just is too harsh for me!

    I'll call your coffee-snobbish & raise it.. ad infinitum. :bigsmile:

    I homeroast my own green coffee beans (stovetop). Never drink coffee made with burnt beans! (Ugh - this was all started by THE big-time coffee shop in order to sell stale beans).

    I have about 1 cup each morning with up to a tablespoon of light cream. Found out the calories & fat is negligible (esp since the rest of my day is *usually* very low fat). I drank it black for awhile - but I'm now in an apt that has the world's crummiest stove (two settings on the burners: off.. and high! :grumble: ) So a bit of cream makes it perfect. Still long for the coffee I used to roast w/a better stove (not the horrible, stressful apt situations, though, lol).

    I also roast decaf - most the time it's way better than the decaf you get in the stores or most coffee shops, but it still tastes.. different.. so I just limit myself to one cup a day.

    I like mine with 1 or 2 tablespoons of creamer. Either Cinnamon Vanilla Creme, Chocolate Raspberry or Peppermint Mocha. Sometimes I will just mix in a packet of Nestle Fat-Free hot cocoa :) And sometimes I will splurge and get a mocha frappe with nonfat milk and no whip cream from my favorite local coffee shop :) I LOOOOOVE me some coffee!

    Oh, and I forgot to add... I drink about 2-3 cups a day. Yeah......... :noway:

    I like my coffee with a splash of flavored cream. I usually follow it up with a 16oz Rock Star to get me going.

    Coffee ? I used to drink mine "non-stop". I've managed to cut down to a few a week though.
    (a few pots...not cups)

    It's a work in progress.

    At home I usually have it with French Vanilla or Vanilla-Caramel flavoured creamer, when I'm in a restaurant or coffee shop I take it with milk and a sweetener. On occasion though, I do like to treat myself with a cup made with real, thick cream and a teaspoon full of sugar :)

    Strong with LOTS of sugar and LOTS of creamer. I work it into my day so it is not a big deal plus, I log that I drink a whole cup but I only drink half and only once in the morning.

    If I could put it in an IV drip I would....

    Black or with a couple splenda depending on my mood...Hot usually unless it's a typical Sacramento summer in which case it's iced. And BTW, I consider decaf to be a crime against humanity....

    Black...the way God intended us to drink it! I'm a coffee snob, so I like my beans to be freshly ground when I make the coffee and I rarely use any flavoring or flavored coffees. Right now I'm working through some whole bean Peruvian peaberry coffee that is WONDERFUL!!!

    I haven't tried stove top roasting. My coffee roaster died on me a few months back, tried roasting in an air popper...didn't work too well.

    2 cups BLACK every weekday
  • I like dark roast coffee, preferably french or italian roast. LOVE starbucks, like DD and HATE Tim Hortons but usually brew my own at home. I drink it with 1 to to 2 tsp of real sugar (I cannot stand any of the artificial sweetners) and about 2 tbsp of land o'lakes fat free half and half (all the flavor and none of the fat).

    55 calories for 2 cups

    I need at least 16oz of coffee before I am able to communicate using human language skills.

    I used to drink it with a little sugar and a little bit of whatever lightener was available - skim milk, almond milk, cream, etc. When I was super exhausted, I'd add a lot of extra sugar for the kick I needed... but those were also days in which I was drinking *all* my hydration for the day in coffee... no water... just coffee...

    This summer I've cut back a lot, and I'm only drinking 16 oz, black (iced.) I allow myself black and green tea during the day, but I'm trying to drink as much herbal tea and water as possible.
