    Honestly I just enjoy the taste of it. 2 sweet n low packets and 2-3 cups a day. And I do count the (negligible) calories

    Yay! It's not the coffee that is bad, unless you are sensitive to caffeine and/or don't drink enough water. It's all the cream and sugar people put in it.

    Coffee, like tea, is full of antioxidants.

    It all depends on what you put in it. I personally used to drink coffee with lots of cream and sugar, which is definitely out.

    Now I drink black coffee, which took me about a month to get fully adjusted to, but now I love black coffee, and I can't stand all of that extra stuff in it.

    Just keep in mind, if you order black coffee at Starbucks or Caribou, you might get some funny looks.

    I think it is delicious. I also need it to wake up, though I think I've become immune to it.

    Black, all the way, always drank it that way...unless I'm getting some fancy carmel raspberry mocha liquid candy not really coffee thing ;)

    all i drink is water & tea myself...
    but coffee is fine just as long as it's free from sweeteners ...stevia is good tho-- natural.

    I honestly love a good cup of coffee, I have to cut back on cream and suger that I would put in it. I try not to drink more then a cup or two.

    I love my coffee! I can't drink it black yet but I've gotten so I love it with a Tablespoon of dark chocolate almond milk (it's only about 13 calories) :drinker:

    I can give up a heck of a lot of calories, but coffee is non-negotiable! :drinker:
    However, I have given up my beloved CoffeeMate Double Double for regular sugar and milk. I've thought about weaning myself to black, but am not committed to it yet.

    Coffee is not bad for you. I drink it with some milk instead of creamer, that way I get some protein to the start of my morning as I am not really a first thing in the morning breakfast person. Just don't load it full of sugar and creamer and you should be fine.

    I love my coffee and I have tried and tried to drink it black but I just can't.
    I've tried milk, and that's no good either.

    So now I limit myself to 1 of my travel mugs/day (12 oz) and I measure the amount of half & half I use (i use 2 tbsp, which is 40 cals) and I sweeten with Splenda. (whereas I used to use brown sugar and not measure the cream!)

    Absolutely! It's delicious, and it's good for you. That's a win-win to me :) It's the creamer and sugar that people use that turn it into an unhealthy drink. I drink a huge mug's worth in the morning with 1/2 C Silk Milk light and 3 Splenda.

    Yay!! A coffee a day keeps the headache away. :drinker:
    Black is practically calorie free, I allow myself my morning fix and then onto water or black tea.

    I love the coffee...

    I'm in the military, and that is a very popular beverage. I like mine strong and black!

    I drink numerous cups of coffee nearly every day that are strong and black, and mabye a couple of times a month I'll head to the local Starbucks and splurge on a fufu coffee. Today I actually got a Grande Skinny Vanilla Latte. I was surprised when I saw that the numbers for that particular beverage are not toooo bad.

    Gotta have the coffee though!

    I have a couple servings of black coffee every morning.

    I used to get a lot of fancy/sweet/CALORIC coffee drinks, but that's part of the reason I gained as much weight as I did. I do not miss the frappes at all!

    Oh my word i LOVE coffee so much.
    Nothing, absolutely nothing comes between me and my 1st morning cup. I can easily admit to an addiction with this one.
