I am new to drinking coffee. I was wondering what is your favorite types of coffee, flavor, how you make it and why you like it? I use a french press most of the time. I also drink my coffee black, to fit into my cal. goals.

    I cant drink my coffee black, but i use a sugar free syrup that i buy at the store (kinda spendy sometimes) but it has no calories and then i add a half of a cup of 1% milk

    i cold brew my coffee and put coffee, ice, vanilla almond milk, and torani sugar free caramel syrup in mine. soooo good :)

    i guess i'll add that the only thing that has calories is the almond milk. i usually use a 1/4 to 1/2 cup depending on what i feel like that day .. so it's anywhere between 23 calories and 45 calories for one drink.

    Keep your black coffee habit since you seem to enjoy it. I have to have coffee and I have to have 1/2 & 1/2 in it! But I do like flavored coffee, the beans, I mean..... I personally don't enjoy sweeteners in my coffee... of any kind....(shrug)... your coffee is your very personal preference. Enjoy!

    I am a coffee junkie...I have a Tassimo and use it all the time. I like dark rich coffee. I drink it many ways but to stay within my calories, I use sugar free creamers and Splenda. I always count everything that way I'm not cheating myself.

    I love French roast, but it can be pretty strong if you're using a press and maybe not suited to a new coffee drinker. Try Italian roast maybe? I also put a splash of 1% in mine. I like to have several cups and if I don't dilute it a little, I get edgy.

    I drink my coffee black. Most of the time, it's a breakfast blend. But if I can get hold of fresh Jamaican coffee, I am a happy camper. :)

    Coffee is like pie ... never met a cup (or slice) I didn't like. I put Coffeemate in mine because I like it smooth. I don't do the fancy-schmancy stuff. It's too expensive and I'm a simple gal ... I like my coffee hot and without a lot of foo-foo.

    Skim and weaning myself off of sweetener... but will use sugar or honey over anything artificial...

    Coffee is life....
    Oddly enough I didn't start drinking it until I was almost 45 y. o.
    it was instrumental in my kicking the diet coke.

    My sis is a chemist and was doing research on cholesterol and found that while decaf does NOT have cholesterol it raises your LDLs. So I went from decaf to high octane and haven't looked back.

    What type have you found with no calories? I can't go without my cup of coffee and would love to have a no calorie substitue!

    I like a bold coffee, iced and black. Occasionally I will put a packet of stevia in it to sweeten things up a bit, but black is usually the way I drink it.

    All this talk of coffee makes me want to go brew me a cup.
    I started out liking my coffee vary tame. Not so strong and lots of extra creamer and sugar. Now I've gotten to the point where I like the richer bolder coffees with still lots of cream and sugar but I use sugar free fat free stuff with sweeteners :)

    I have to have half and half in my coffee or gasp!!!....light cream, it gives it a nice texture and slightly sweet flavor with out having to add sugar or an artificial sweetener to your cup. But I do like to change things up and try new variations. Vanilla flavored soy in coffee is good. So is honey and ground cinnamon. I like just about any cold iced or whipped coffee drink too. It's my weakness!!

    I just use a little half and half (low fat) in the first couple cups of the day. If I have any more it is black.

    I have been a coffee drinker on and off for a long time now, lol. I've drank my coffee black with nothing to lots of creamer and splenda! Recently, my stomach has become more sensitive to coffee, so I switched to using a 1/2 the caffeine coffee. I buy what's relatively inexpensive, since the good stuff is pricey and we tend to drink a lot of coffee in my house. Of the lesser expensive brands, Folgers is probably the best. Right now, I just drink mine with a couple of teaspoons of splenda so that I don't add extra calories. I try to stay away from high calorie beverages as much as possible.

    Coffee - Black made with French Press, Clover or Drip. If it's from Tim Horton's then I add cream and sugar.
    Espresso - I like cappuccinos or lattes, depending on the amount of dairy I have already had. No sugar or syrup added

    I detest the taste but need the rush and keep a glass in the refrigerator to swig 10 minutes before a workout.
    Straight black - any brand is fine. They are all equally loathsome.

    I know caribou coffee online has some and I know they are VERY good I use them almost everyday! :) They bottles are 7.49 but they are bigger then the torani and I know those run around 4 bucks a bottle.
