How do you like your coffee? Black, with cream, sugar, milk or what? Do you like Starbucks special coffee drinks or do you prefer just regular brewed coffee? How long have you been drinking coffee? Do you drink it because you like it or because it's the only way you can function in the morning? If you don't like to drink coffee, what do you prefer to drink instead?

I used to drink my coffee with a little bit of milk in it and a teaspoon of sugar. I haven't done that in years now. I mainly drink my coffee black now. Sometimes I do add a little bit of milk to it though. I drink coffee because I like it. I really like it in the winter time too. It is warm when it is cold out. I have been drinking coffee for about 19 years now. I have never tried Starbucks coffee yet. We do not have one in our area.

There is a Starbucks about 60 miles from my home. I would never drive that far for a cup of coffee LOL. I prefer to brew my own and drink it at home. We make ours from a "bun" coffee maker.

My husband and I were talking about this tonight, to a friend of ours who lives in the same building. In our kitchen we have three different ways to make coffee. -Turkish coffee in a pot on the stove (people sometimes drink that with sugar, we just like it black) -Regular coffee (we drink that black too) -espresso (which we can drink traight, or drink as lattes and cappuccinos.

Wow, I've never heard of Turkish coffee. Is there a big difference between that and regular coffee? Thanks for your response!

omg i so love coffee. it is the best thing to have in the morning when you wake up and have a smoke if your a smoker and it is the best thing to keep you awake at night when you have something really important to do

If I'm just drinking a regular cup of coffee, I drink i black. I do love the espresso drinks from Starbucks, though. Those have milk and whipped cream. If I'm in the mood for a Mocha and don't have the time and/or money to get one, I can get by with adding a chocolate creamer to my coffee. It's not the same, but in a pinch, it'll do.

I am not a coffee drinker, so I don't take it at all. However, I do make my tea like most people make coffee with cream and sugar. I drink Diet Soda in the morning for my pick me up!

Tea is probably a little bit better for you anyways with less caffiene than coffee. I alternate between diet soda and coffee. Its good to mix it up sometimess :)

I like Black coffee. It's good for health too. It can be used in an emergency for asthma. It's the caffine in that helps so you can also use other drinks that have caffine but coffee works best (so you could drink hot chocolate, or hot tea). Also, it doesn't work as well if you have cream in it. I did that and it took longer. Two or three cups is usually what it takes for me to feel the effects. I would drink butter milk if I have to drink anyother liquid.

I didn't know that you could use it to help asthma. Thanks for your response.

Most of the time, I drink my coffee black, no sugar. There are times though I like it with cream and sugar. I usually like it that way in the evening after dinner. Once in a while, I'll have a mocha or a latte.

How can you sleep when you drink coffee at night, lol? I have to quit drinking around noon to be able to sleep at night. Thanks for your response!

I am not really a coffee drinker - but if I am going to have it - it must be HOT HOT HOT and absolutely BLACK with no sugar. I am happy with mc donald's premium roast coffee and have never had a starbucks coffee... though, one thing I really like from starbucks is the chocolate covered coffee beans... WOWzA!

I drink my brewed coffee in style with fresh milk and "muscovado" or raw brown sugar. I only go to Starbucks and order Capuccino when I am ready to splurge, lol. When I was in my young teens, my mom used to make coffee out of burnt fried rice which was believed to have medicinal value. I drink coffee to perk me up in the morning and because I enjoy drinking cup after cup after cup, lol.

I like drinking coffee any time of the day. I am addicted to coffee I should say. Black coffee with no sugar, no cream, just plain black. Some times, the coffee at those coffee shops are not strong enough for me. So, when I have the time, I brew real strong coffee by myself at home.

It depends on where I am etc. If I am at home I will occassionally have regular brewed coffee to dip a biscuit in or sometimes I will get the scahets of cappuccino or cafe late that you can buy and have one of them. Every Tuesday afternoon thought I watch a DVD and have some cake with some chilled coffee. I egt this from the supermarket and it is in a plastic beaker. It is called Caffe Latte Cappuccino but is espresso mixed with milk really It is kinda like a Frappuccino but does not have ice in it but I suppose you could add some if you wanted. It just tastes of coffee but I guess you could add some flavour to it. At Starbucks I usually order a light frappuccino. What flavour just depends on what I fancy that day. I drink coffee now and again for a treat because I like the taste. I am not someone who needs caffeine to function.

At home I just drink ordinary instant coffee with milk and sugar, when I go out I have a cappucino and this is my treat because I do not go out for coffee very often!! I never drink anything else other than coffee.

I like coffee with milk and sugar.Its 20 years since I started drinking coffee. If it were not for coffee, I'd go for tea.
