    I have anywhere from 1-3 cups of coffee daily, with liquid creamer and 3 equal.

    About every three months I convince myself that I should give up creamer, so I try for a few days, and then I'm over it. I like creamer in my coffee, and that is just that. I drink a lot of flavored coffee too, and there are probably three cups a week that I go sans creamer.
    I drink one or two cups per day, maybe three if I'm feeling crazy on the weekend.
    I really don't like a lot of creamer in my coffee - and I prefer the Coffeemate liquid creamers to powder. So, I use half a tbs in my cup and that's perfect. I've tried the Splenda/Sugar/Milk thing, and I just don't care for it.
    I can handle the extra 25/35 calories of creamer (if I decide it's a three-cup day, I make sure that one of those is just plain coffee).
    I really love coffee, it makes me happy. My happiness is very important :-)

    This is exactly me.

    I've just gotten to the point I budget half n half in everyday.

    Espresso, on the other hand, I prefer with stevia only, no cream.

    I mix it up but yesterday I just tried double espresso, tbsp of half and half and a tsp of honey. Most enjoyable 75 calories ever.

    Considering I never drink away my calories, I have no problem drinking coffee every day!

    I drink it in caffeine pill form...cause if i don,t i need sugar in it or sweetener and id much rather put that in some oatmeal or not have it at all...so yeah 7 dollars at walmart for 100 coffees...and it speeds me up and leans me up way more than a cup of coffee ever did lol. My girlfriend actually likes coffee and has 2 tsp sugar and a little cream....only 80 cals...but...like i said id rather put 2 tsp of sugar in my oat meal which is only 30 extra cals and 10 carbs...lol....pills are good! lol

    How many cups? I'm not sure, but until very recently I was drinking up to 4 liters of coffee in a day. Cutting it down to one or two big mugs is turning out to be terrible, but it will be worth it in the long run. I drink it with a splash of unsweetened almond milk, for ~10 calories.

    Black with a few dashes of Saigon cinnamon. 2 big cups for me each morning.

    Try it with Vanilla Almond Milk. You can have a cup of the milk for 40 calories, so a little bit in coffee is nothing!

    I usually pick tea over coffee, but when I do have it, I drink it black.

    I quit diet coke all day for 2-3 coffees in the AM and then water the rest of the day. I drink it with one sweet n low and a couple tsps of whatever fat free yummy creamer I can find! Helps me focus at work, big time!!

    Guess I'm in the minority here. I LOVE coffee and it's the one thing I won't give up. I drink it from the time I get up until I go to bed. Part of the time it's full caffeine and part it's decaf. I only add a little tiny bit of sugar free french vanilla creamer. I do, however, also drink plain water during the day.

    Did you know Apples are a better stimulant than coffee? You would get a better kick start by having an apple in the morning.

    That said, I love tea and have at least 4 a day!

    I don't drink coffee unless it's cappuccino lol but you should try flavored green tea!! I was hesitant to try it at first too but I found a few flavors that I absolutely LOVE, two of them being lipton blackberry & pomegranate and lipton white mangosteen & peach (I drink my green tea with splenda 0 cal packets). I want to try the mixed variety box next! You can check out the link here and read more about the benefits of green tea if you're interested :)http://www.liptont.com/our_products/green_tea/grn_collection.aspx

    I used to have a caffeine intolerance and could only drink coffee once in a while, but since I've had my Keurig, I've been trying to build up my tolerance to caffeine. I used to only have a cup every other day or so, but now I drink one every morning. It helps me wake up, kills some mid morning snack cravings, "regulates" me (LOL), and it's yummy too. I don't add any sugar, only a tbsp or 2 of creamer (usually around 35 calories for a tbsp). Coffee is good for you as long as you don't load up on the sugar and creamer. Drinking it black is the best, but most people can't tolerate that. ;)

    I loved coffee but I loved losing fat more so the coffee has gone and so has the fat.

    Grande Soy Latte with 1 raw sugar...

    It is the one relic from a past life that remains.

    I drink 1 cup a day in the morning. I use 2 packets of Splenda w/ fiber and a ton of powdered creamer. It's 10 calories/tsp, but I don't measure it. I just shake some in. I'm probably putting in about 7-8 tsp which is 70-80 calories. To me, it's worth it. I have given up so much other stuff, I don't want to give up my coffee the way I love it.

    And I have tried the non-calorie creamer. It's disgusting!! I would rather have the real thing and enjoy my morning coffee.

    Is it strange that I've only had coffee a handful of times? I never took to the stuff so I drink no coffee, ever.

    I have 1 to 2.. I have the Keurig machine so you can get some really tasty kinds with them. If I'm having just normal coffee I take it with a couple tbsp of skim milk in it with a "shot" of Torani Sugar Free Caramel. I have Kahlua (No alcohol!) K kups for my Keurig, so with those again a couple tbsps of skim and then 2 packets of splenda.:)

    I usually drink 2 mugs of black coffee. This morning I put some coconut milk in it and it was REALLY good! coconut milk is naturally sweet :) I prefer mine with the sugar laden fancy flavored creamers, but i am on a sugar free diet so i steer clear from that stuff.

    I drink one cup a day with 3 or 4 splenda and 1-2 Tbsp of Bailey's Irish Cream. The coffee has to be expensive for me to be able to drink it black with splenda only.
