    What about starting with 2%, then 1% then down to skim? That is how I changed up my milk...your taste bugs get used to it.

    Since I don't like flavored or sweet coffee, I think this suggestion best suits what I'm looking for.
    Thanks to everyone for their input!!!

    I love creamy coffee too! I use International Delight Sugar Free Hazelnut; 1 tbsp = 20 cal. with 2 g total fat, 1 g saturated fat, and 1 g total carb. I generally only drink coffee in the a.m. and have about three cups. What I need to start doing is measuring!!!! :wink:
    Although, honestly I don't feel I go overboard on the creamer.... Now my husband, on the other hand, likes his creamer with a little bit of coffee!!!:smile:

    Thanks for posting this. I am going to have to try the almond milk and coconut milk!

    I can totally relate! I love my coffee too! I use the individual packets of Land O' Lakes Mini Moo's Half & Half. The creamer is pre-measured so I don't "accidentally" add more than I should. Each creamer serving is 10 calories. And remember, coffee is an effective natural metabolism booster. Now I'm in the mood for a cup of joe. ;-)

    I LOVE coffee. If I'm grumpy my family will ask "have you had your coffee?" LOL. I'm gonna try thr almond milk and coconut milk. I know I put too much creamer and honey in mine. Need to start measuring or substituting for healthier creamers. Thanks for the post :drinker:

    I use skim milk (1/4 cup) and 1 packet splenda! And good strong coffee. Fresh ground kona blend is my preferred.

    Have you considered canned fat free evaporated milk?

    If you're going down to Non-Fat milk (I too also hate sugar in my coffee) if you can find the 'supreme' non-fat milk, it's creamier. I think because it has carageenan in it, but I don't care. It's good in coffee.

    I also keep packets of plain ol coffee mate creamer at my desk. Not as good as the milk, but they do in a pinch (ie, forgot to get milk) just fine. And it's premeasured.

    Flavored and sweeted creamers - BLECH.

    I have found that being a bit more snobbish about what coffee I'm drinking also made the transition to non fat easier. A good tasting bean doesn't need much milk - even a strong roast. Play around with the kinds of roasts you're getting and what you make coffee with (if you can.)

    I've been stuck on Arabian Mocha Java lately in my french press. Good stuff. I also use a double filter french press, which has less sediment than most and seems to make a smoother cup.
