How Do You Like Your Coffee?

Let me put it this way: I like my milk and sugar with a little coffee.

I'm not a big coffee drinker, either. I might have 2 or 3 cups a year. But, when that desire hits, I've just gotta have a cup. The thing is, coffee is way too bitter for my taste. I need to mellow it quite a lot with a lot of sugar (actually, I use Splenda or Stevia) and milk or creamer.

When I was younger, a cup of coffee would make me vibrate, literally. The caffeine in it gave me so much energy that, if I just sat, I would literally shake. I think I could have built a house with the energy I got from one cup of coffee. Since being treated for panic disorder and put on medication, my metabolism has changed so coffee doesn't affect me that way anymore. As a matter of fact, I could easily fall asleep after drinking a cup. It makes me sleepy! If I manage to stay away after drinking it, it does wake me up but nowhere near the way it used to affect me.

I might be getting near the time when I have another cup. I was in the grocery store today and stopped in the coffee aisle. It smelled SO GOOD!!! I was even looking at all the different types of coffee available these days. So confusing!

I like mine black. However, I am also a bit of a wimp and cannot drink strong coffee. Starbucks, beyond being burnt beans, is also ridiculously strong. Can't drink that crap even cut 1/2 and 1/2 with water.

I can drink coffee in the morning or at night, or both in one day. I like sugar and french vanilla creamer in my coffee.

I like it far, far, far away! I can't stand the smell, let alone the taste! It seems everywhere I go, there is coffee. It sucks to be so disgusted by it, it's kind of difficult to avoid.

I drink my coffee with half and half only, no sugar. I used to use 3 teaspoons of sugar when I was younger. My dad said it was too much so I cut down until I was only putting the tip of the spoon in the sugar....lol Then I just didn't bother, now it tastes like poison if there is sugar in it...hehe

I love my coffee! I like it with cream. I can't drink it though after noon or I'm bouncing off the walls by evening! I can drink de-caf during the evening but usually I'm through with it by noon.
My favorite is first thing in the morning in the winter time! MMM MMM

hi singlemommy

I love the aroma of coffee brewing in the morning.
It's so refreshing to drink one or two cups of coffee everyday.
I only have coffee in the morning and I like it strong and bold with cream and no sugar.

Have a day!

I like putting lots of milk to my coffee! I prefer the evaporated one or skim milk! Hehe! I just love the creaminess that it brings to my drink!

Happy MyLotting!

I like mine with creamer. I do not like flavored coffee at all.
