Are you a coffee drinker? I love my coffee in the morning year round. In the winter time, I drink it just about all day. What about you? Are you a one cup wonder to get you going in the morning? Do you drink it all day long? What about the hot summer months? Do you cut down, like I do because of the heat? I like the flavored coffees. Anything vanilla is wonderful. I also like the holiday blends with gingerbread, spice and peppermints. What do you put into your coffee? cream or milk. Do you prefer liquid or powder creams? I love the coffee mate french vanilla but I also like just plain milk in mine.

I absolutely love my coffee. I have to have it in the morning or else I am not a very nice person. Most often I have some in the evening as well. I am trying to cut down on the evening coffee though because I am starting to have a hard time sleeping. I love caramel flavored things and I also like the holiday pumpkin spice flavors. It is just so tasty and warm! My favorite Coffee Mate is Hazelnut.

I got two small packages that will make two pots of coffee in a basket from our church yesterday. One was caramel truffle and the other was swiss chocolate almond. We haven't tried the latter yet, but my office has been enjoying a pot fo the caramel.

You're welcome. I am thinking of you all as I drink a vanilla iced coffee double sweet from McDonalds. I have begun to make my own iced coffees at home and experimenting with flavors. Hmm...they are so good!

I love my coffee and drink at least a pot a day, and sometimes two in the winter. I only drink mine black and don't like any of the flavors other than pure coffee flavor... and hold the cream and sugar. When I was younger I used to flavor it with a little whiskey, but that has been a few years now. Now I drink it straight...um the coffee that is...:)

I thought you meant you were drinking the whiskey straight! LOL I just think without some kind of flavoring that it tastes bitter. My grandpa would drink his straight and strong. He would make it so strong some days that i swear you could put a spoon in it and it would stand straight up on it's own.

Coffee is one of those things that is an acquired taste. I started out with cream and sugar, and then sugar. I was visiting friends many years ago and they offered coffee. I asked for sugar and they had to go find it. When it came time for the second cup they forgot the sugar and I just drank it. About halfway through that cup I realized I liked it better without the sugar, and have drank it that way ever since. Now it no longer seems bitter at all.

I guess so! The Administrative assistant that works in our office made coffee this morning. She made some of the beans that were in my basket that I got for Pastor's appreciation day...(They gave me a gift for being a pastor's wife)...it was Caramel truffle flavored.

I personally prefer Hot Chocolate or Herbal Tea. I dont drink coffee and never have. When I was expecting our first child, I would make my husband thermos of coffee and throw up. LOL It made me sick just to smell it.

You sound like my youngest daughter! She has tried it several times and doesn't like it. This morning, I got an iced coffee from Mickey D's on the way to work and she was going to try it because she said it looked really good. She went blah...yuck...take it back.

Cheers - Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm coffee
I admit to being a coffee addict. My morning routine is always coffee and croissants, with coffee again later in the morning, and coffee at lunchtime. I love my coffee with brown sugar and single cream, although I am equally happy with a real cappuchino

I've never had coffee with brown sugar. I bet it would be so much sweeter than regular white granulated sugar! We had a wedding shower on Saturday. Someone brought peppermint coffee swizzlers that had one end dipped in chocolate. Wow were they good!

yes i am really a coffee addict. every morning upon waking up i make a brewed coffer. i prefer coffee for me and my partner. we like it black. with some sugar. it gives us some warmth in the cold morning. we usually wake up at 5 am. so hot coffee really helps us to warm up and start the day. after drinking our coffee we start our work for the day. we have a small business here in my place. here in my home. that's why coffee is what we like to sip in them morning. it's been habit since i was young. it really helps us to get going for our day. i feel great everytime i taste the coffee. it gives me energy. a lot of people find coffee as a way to keep them awake. that's waht cofffe does to me. it keeps me awake and alert throughout the day. i am coffee lover since childhood. but now i drink more.

Today is boss' day and we had a potluck luncheon for the staff at my work. Sarah, the lady that runs the coffee shop on the bottom floor of our office building sent up a big carafe of Caramel Pecan coffee to go with some of the delicious muffins that were brought for the meal.

Unfortunately, the very nature of coffee means that if you use it regularly, you develop tolerance to the caffeine that serves as the primary "good to go" effect. So myself? I have a glass for 2 reasons. One. If I'm particularly tired at work, I'll take a styro cup of it laden with sugar. The second reason I'll have a cup is out on the town, where a glorious cup of a French vanilla capachino calls my name.

I cannot do styro foam. There is just something about the taste of coffee out of it that turns me off. I am not super crazy about hot chocolate out of them either, but I can tolerate it. Some say that they can't tell a difference in taste, but I can. Perhaps it's just my taste buds...but I have to have my mug!

4 cups a day! I would be awake for a week~! I am a two cup maximum drinker! I can't deal with styrofoam. I must have it in my ceramic mug. My administrative assistant has a sister who is a potter and she made me the greatest coffee mug for christmas last year!

I love coffee, well I love both coffee and green tea with equal enthusiasm, but if I want to be more alert and awake, I will take coffee. If the coffee is medium or weak, I prefer it straight, but if it is strong, I prefer milk or cream. It really does not matter. On special occasions, I like Irish cream in my coffee. I prefer Columbian coffee, more than the Arabian coffee or the African coffee. I find the former smoother. I have not had Expresso coffee yes, and I would not mind having that.

You are better than me. I can't bring myself to like green tea. I've tried several times, and I just don't like the taste of it! I don't think I've ever had African coffee. Is it very much stronger than the other? I don't much pay attention to where the beans are grown as I do the flavor and how dark the roast is.

I got started drinking coffee the same way. I was working midnight shift at a hospital. I would get off at 6 a.m. and have to try and stay awake long enough to drive home and get my kids up and dressed and on the bus to go to school.

I don't even own a coffee maker. I have been getting a cup every Thursday morning at my mom's. I'd probably drink more come winter, when its 100ยบ outside, its hard to want hot coffee.

I use my coffee maker more for brewing iced tea than for coffee at home. I am the only one that drinks it there, and it seems kind of pointless to make a pot and then pour it out. If my son's home, he will help me drink it in the winter, but he isn't much of a coffee drinker in the summer.

My addiction! - Coffee cup
I'm not a coffee lover I'm a coffee addict! A couple of pots a day is nothing for me and then if I get the chance I'll stop in at Dunkin Donuts to pick one up. I don't like any flavorings although my son always brings me a french vanilla....lol...it's HIS favorite and he's trying to convert me. I even drink it in the summer...hot and cold!

My son worked for a year at a bread company/sandwich shop. He got started drinking iced coffees. He was so ecstatic when McDonald's began to sell them! Then he moved out on his own and decided that they were too expensive and called me to find out if there was a way he could make them at home.

I like drinking coffee but I stick to brewed coffee only. I like it with sugar and cream and sometimes I experiment too and add other flavorings such as cinnamon or chocolate.

I love cinnamon in mine. I also like hot cocoa with a touch of cinnamon. I'm not a huge chocolate coffee fan. I can drink some every once in a while. It is almost too rich for me. I don't even prefer the chocolate flavored coffee creamers.

When I make it here at the office, I get here before most of the others...so it's my job to make the first tank full. I always do half regular and half decaf. decaf coffee has a different taste, but if you mix half-half, most can't tell the difference. I do have one man that will come in and laugh and say "You did it to me again didn't you?"
