    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'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.

    another coffee snob here, though I don't roast, I don't feel that I need to, as I have a lovely little shop about 1/2 mile from work where they roast fresh daily and won't sell anything unflavored that is more than 2-weeks post-roast... they label everything with roast date also, so it's very easy to get a bag of beans that is right at the peak of flavor (for most beans 48hrs after roast, IMHO). Currently working on a bag of Costa Rican estate grown "Hacienda La Minitas" that is to die for.

    I drink it black. Always. And ground immediately prior to brewing unless I'm camping, in which case I'll pre-grind enough to get me through the trip.

    I take mine black, anywhere form 0-3 times a day.

    In my eyes, coffee is a drug delivery system (a tasty one) so why add calories?

    I drink mine with one tablespoon of half and half and two packets of sweet and low. And I drink a TON of it in the morning. Three mug fulls I'd say. Then it's water for the rest of the day unless I need a pick me up. :-D

    Huge coffee snob here. I love a good long-draw Americano, one splash of skim milk.

    Fridays I get a Double Tall Skinny Vanilla Latte. Delicious.

    I drink mine with about a tablespoon of half & half. No sweetener of any kind. I drink about 3 cups of caffeinated a day, but sometimes do a decaf in the afternoon. I used to be a real coffee-a-holic, but I'm trying to be better.

    First, I grind French Roast or Espresso beans.

    Then... if it's warm outside, I do a double shot of espresso over ice with a packet of sweetener and 2% milk.
    If it's cold, I do a double shot with caramel sugar-free syrup in a big latte mug, then I steam/froth 2% milk to top it with.

    This is just for fun. If you are a coffee drinker, how do you drink your coffee? How many cups do you drink? Regular or decaf?

    I drink mostly decaf with half and half or heavy cream, and one packet of Truvia or Splenda. My husband drinks it black with LOTS of sugar. I tried black coffee and I just couldn't get into it. I love my coffee super creamy.

    It depends on situation and place... at office it's the same powder machine coffee otherwise it can be just black coffee or protein+black coffee.

    One cup a day is all I need. I use half and half but I don't measure how much I put int, just til it's a nice creamy tan color haha. I use sugar, but measure it with the spoon I'm going to stir the sugar with. I used to just like Dunkin Donuts coffee and my mom's but since making my own, I don't care what kind of coffee beans (grinded or not) I use, as long as it's a medium, regular flavor, they all taste the same to me.

    regular coffee, lots of ice and vanilla soymilk. I've tired so many times to stop drinking coffee. I've figured now if I just dilute it as much as possible someday I'll just stop drinking coffee all together.

    If its Starbucks then I have a tall or grande Americano with skimmed milk (no sugar). If I'm at home then instant coffee with a little semi-skimmed milk (no sugar). The most I'd drink in one day is two cups.

    I've always just had mine with Stevia, cinnamon, and a dash of unsweetened almond milk.
