I love my french press but I only use it on the weekends and I like to drink it with a small amount of creamer... during the week I am very loyal to my starbucks grande, extra hot, skinny cinnamon dulce latte LOL :-) the skinny fits in just fine with my calories at a small 130calories :-)

LOVE my java in the a.m. I was brought up with a European father and the coffee at home was sacred. Really, it was. So it is a very important part of my life ;-)

We use Lavazza Crema e Gusto or grind our own from Brûlerie St-Denis simply because we do not have much choice out where we live. We have to good old fashion Bialetti stove top as the coffee really doesn't touch any surface like plastic or paper when brewing. Makes it taste yummy. Hubby takes it black, I, take it with a touch of warm milk.

Now when traveling abroad, we always bring back coffee... Cuba, Colombia and the Dominican Republic have some of the best coffee we've tasted so far. Even I drink it black there.

My hubby was very proud because a barista from El Salvador, Alejandro Méndez, won the barista championships in Colombia this year. Represent! Check it out on you tube... He makes tea and coffee using every part of the bean. To anyone interested in coffee, take a few minutes to look him up. It's truly an art!

About to have the 3pm coffee at work. A co-worker brought her own stash of "Jamaican Me Crazy"... Now there's a coffee to wake yo @ss up. LOL she found it at Home Goods... It was a treasure find.

I love my coffee!!!! I don't drink it black. I put creamer in it.

I usually have coffee with a little sugar and milk, but I don't mind it black.
I have a french press on my Christmas list, can't wait to get it.

I have become addicted to Coffee recently.. I love it the most when its black (no sugar no creamer) :drinker:
But I also love Starbucks Cappuccino
and sometimes I do make it my style: Beaten Coffee
for that I take 2 heaped teaspoons of any good instant coffee and then add 1 teaspoon sugar and few drops of milk (should be just right to wet the mixture, try to add drop by drop for accuracy :happy: ) and then beat the mixture with a spoon in the cup and after few minutes it will turn creamy and changes color. Then boil a cup of milk and then add this mixture to the milk (depending upon how rich and sweet you want your coffee) and enjoy the creamy beaten taste of coffee
I keep the rest of the mixture in the fridge for next time :drinker:

I used to be a barista at Seattle's Best so I have the cold brew toddy system they use at the store to make iced coffee. It takes a lb of coffee at a time and 12 hours to steep, but it is delicious and will put hair on your chest. Tastes just like store bought (it's made the same way) and saves so much money, plus people are jealous when i show up to guardmount with iced coffee and they alway want to know where I got from.

Lately though, I'm into hot coffee. I get a cup, shake my soy vanilla milk vigourously so it produces a lot of froth and pour it in, and I get a delicious Cafe au lait.

In addition I have a french press coffee cup from starbucks, and I use that when I'm at work and nowhere near a coffee pot. I've got my coffee bases covered

I've only really liked drinking coffee for the last few years or so. I don't drink it as often as I would like to because of the headaches, so only have it about once a week.

Not new to drinking coffee, but I've slowly become more 'serious' about my coffee in the past 6-12 months.

I drink my coffee black. If it's made in a moka express, and I have the chance to heat and froth a tiny bit of milk, I'll add it, but almost always black. If it's just me, I use a French press, if my husband is home we make drip coffee. I sometimes (often) invite myself to my colleageus house on my way to do a workout because I know they'll make me a good cup of coffee, and it really helps with my workout!

OK, I'll chime in...
I'm 63 years old and I've been drinking coffee since I was 12. I would get up with my father in the morning and make his instant coffee for him, sant and hold it while he shaved and take sips. Alot of history has passed since then and my preference is dark roast which I brew by using an individual cup Melita with 2 scoops - one SBC #4 or 5 and #3 decaf. I'm sensitive to the caffeine and would grind my teeth right down if I drank pure caffinated as strong as I like it.
Yes, I'll dring almost anything in a pinch - even Nescafe' which tastes like crap...blech!:huh:
I usually dring two cups in the morning and one in the afternoon.
I love my (good) coffee!
:drinker:

Starbucks Sumatra extra bold. Grind-brew strong-enjoy

I'd never cut out coffee because of my diet. I'd much rather sacrifice something else. When I started loosing weight I cut out the sugar so now I drink it with skim milk and the few cals that that adds I'm totally fine with.

I never thought I'd say this but I'm happy that we don't have Starbucks where I live because that would be hard to say no to if I knew I could have it whenever I wanted. On vacations I induldge in skinny lattes and skinny iced lattes from there though
