    Any and all coffee. Hot, Iced, Black, with milk or cream always one real sugar, as sweeteners give me headaches...I try to limit it to a cup or two a week

    If I make it myself: Whatever coffee I have at home + whatever creamer I have at home. Currently it's Starbucks French roast coffee with Bailey's French vanilla creamer.

    If I go to Starbucks for a treat: Mocha cookie crumble frappuccino, or whatever I feel like at that moment/seasonal/whatever; if I want something a little healthier, than it's my standard raspberry nonfat latte.

    Other coffee places: Depends on what they got. :tongue:

    2-3 cups in the morning before work. I load it with all sorts of bad-for-you goodies, too. Another cup at night while I grade papers. I'm sure the ridiculous amount of calories I consume in coffee cream has slowed my progress, but I'm in this for the long haul. I would be a scary beast in the morning without my coffee!

    I was a barista for close to 6 years so I LOOOOOVE my coffee. I cut back a couple years ago to the point were a half mug (so like 6 oz) would have me WIRED. lol that was kinda nice. But now my schedule is so ridiculous that I drink it as often as I can just to function. I'll have 3-4 cups in the morning and if I'm at home doing homework i'll make a second pot (kind of weak) and sip on it throughout the day.

    At home I take it with a splash of organic unsweetened soy milk and sometimes a little almond extract.
    If I go to starbucks i usually get a soy latte or a soy misto (or cafe au lait - similar to a latte but with regular drip coffee instead of espresso) unless I'm feeling adventurous and then you don't want to be near me when I place my obscure order. :laugh:

    2 cups a day, we buy Starbucks ground coffee and brew it everyday. I used to drink 5-6 cups per day but, down to 2 cups. I need a kick start in the morning!!:smile:

    I love my coffee, always joking that I would love a coffee IV drip. I normally make mine at home -- Folgers half caf (half the caffeine) withi low fat french vanilla creamer. Usually 10 cups a day or so.

    I drink 1 cup of coffee with breakfast, and mostly another one in the early evening... Black ofcourse!
    I try to limit it though, because I already drink like 5 cups of tea a day too o.o

    I'm a tea girl - Twinings English Breakfast, skimmed milk, no sugar, but I'll have a skinny single shot latte if you're paying :wink:

    Any kind of coffee except decaf, black no sugar, I have never really tried surviving without it...I would be too scared to see the results lol

    I prefer my coffee made by myself, with a little bit of sugar and a little flavored creamer. Yes, I can function without it, but it helps!

    If it wasn't for coffee I wouldn't survive!! Black no sugar, very strong, though I do love a skinny iced given the chance... I drink far too much but it's my only vice - sad to say!!!

    Love our Keurig..... Drink Coffee People Donut Shop blend, it is a medium roast and I add 2 spoonful of Domino Pure Cane sugar and 2 Tbsp. of International Delight Hershey's Chocolate and Caramel Creamer... Only do 1 in the morning to wake me up..

    My keurig was the best purchase decision ever! I also go with coffee people donut shop. I have 3-4 cups a day-with equal & fat-free half & half. I absolutely cannot go without coffee-and since a cup is only 20-something calories, I can drink up!

    Trying to swap Coffee for Green Tea. I still drink 2 to 3 cups of coffee a day but replace my previous 3 to 4 additional for Green Tea.


    I love coffee :)

    :sick: Can't touch it! Used to drink it black. Then went off it when I was pregnant 13 years ago - now can't drink it without feeling sick and getting headaches! I only drink water now and the very occassional fruit tea. (And Vodka of course!!) :drinker:

    Love Dunkin Donuts.. In the summer time, I could live off their Iced Mocha Coffee's with Skim Milk and Sugar.

    Starbucks Frappucino's are not bad either.. Get a tall Carmel Light one, and it doesn't totally bust my calorie goal.

    my choices are jamaican-my brother brings me a load home once or twice a year.....other times it's cafe bustelo or lavazza from the local italian store... taken with a little sweetener.

    yes, i function perfectly well without.. but generally have 1/2 -3/4 of a pot every other morning and reheat the left overs.

    I don't do starbucks.. it tastes burned to me... probably because I don't laittefufu it up...

    when I'm not home, it's usually the flavor of the day at Dancing Goat. again with some sweetener.

    I was introduced to black coffee by a co-worker when I had started limiting my calorie intake, at the beginning of my lifestyle change. The diet my doc put me on considered black coffee a "freebie", so I started drinking it instead of diet soda. I LOVE McDonalds coffee (black of course) and get a large every morning before work. Happily sipping it as I write this! :D I wouldn't say I can't function without coffee, as I have mornings when I don't have time to stop and get one and I'm fine. I try not to have any caffeine after lunch. And for some reason, I absolutely love the coffee they serve at Bob Evans!!! We go there every Sunday and I have at least 4-5 large cups!

    I heard my name being called....

    Two grande Starbucks dark roast in the morning, and an occasional short dark roast after lunch, if I need a kick in the pants. Half and half with real sugar.

    An occasional iced skinny latte when the hot weather sets in - like today!
