I can say that i am the "coffee maker" that's what i do early in the morning when i wake up. i make sure there's coffee to drink ready for my hubby so i turn the coffee pot and put columbian coffee grounds in it and then water. he likes to drink his coffee black, which means just plain coffee but not too dark and strong, just medium taste. i like mine with coffee cream, i use regular coffee mate then i put one tsp. sugar, i jst like the creamy taste of coffee. Some people just like it with cream and they don't need sugar. i put sugar but not that much, i jst want to eliminate the bitter taste of coffee. it's so good to have a cup of hot coffee in the morning, it just wakes you up. it's good when your eating dessert too like donuts, cakes, pies or anything sweet. i look forward to every cup of coffee every morning, the same with my hubby, his morning is not complete without a cup of coffee. Do you drink coffee in the morning too? if yes, what do you like with your coffee? is it just plain coffee without cream or with cream and sugar like mine? Hope everyone enjoys their coffee every morning like i do.

I would have like to have all i.e. donuts,cake, pie or anything with coffee. You people are lucky! I am still bachelor its hard for me to wake up in morning just for example at this time i.e. 12:37am IST I am responding to your post and I have to be there on my duty from 7:30am. I can't have all that you have mentioned. It's really nice to know that you people are doing best with your coffee and married life just keep it up and just hope the same to me. After all I will have to marry someone in future. And then I will ask the same question "What do you like with your coffee".

Well I drink my coffee black, with a little sugar. But my boyfriend drinks tons of it and hes not complete without it either. First thing he does in the morning is make a pot of coffee.

hi carol, my father drinks a lot of coffee too, he's like addicted to it. i use to tell him not to drink to much cause it will make him nervous. it's good to drink coffee but too much of something is bad. he consumes like 6 cups a day. i only drink one cup every morning.

I like vanilla-flavored creamer and milk. Just a little bit of sugar. I need maximum caffeine effect when I really need it, so lately I've only been drinking coffee when I'm going on a long drive. Also, I have found that drinking coffee relieves my headaches, the kind of headache that I get when I'm having an erratic sleeping schedule. Maybe the coffee opens up the arteries in the brain, that's why. Whoever was the genius who invented coffee, I salute you!

I love to drink coffee in the morning because it keeps me awake. I love my coffee with creamer and diet sugar. I also love to go to Starbucks and I always order a white chocolate mocha.

I like cream and sugar adding in my coffee. I don't enjoy black coffee at all. And I prefer to hot coffee rather than cold one. I love China

I don't really drink coffee very often, but when I do I like plenty of milk and sugar. Sometimes I like a sweet milky coffee with toast for breakfast!

I usually don't have anything in the morning. I don't like to eat or drink anything before 10am as i feel pukish. I was very much a coffee person before but i have strictly stopped my caffiene intake. Only at times when my head is really throbbing i have half a cup of coffee. I like regular coffee , not very strong , a little bitter with one tsp of sugar. I like to have coffee at CCD though. Its just yum. Good post here ~pinks~

Both my husband and I like to have a cup of hot coffee during our breakfast or in the evening after having a nap. My hubby prefers to drink hot black coffee with only a teaspoon of white sugar added. I like my cup of hot coffee to be added with two teaspoons of creamer, half a teaspoon of white sugar and three teaspoons full of milo. This is my favorite hot drink in the morning and it is also a must for me when having breakfast. It’s a miracle that such a small cup of coffee could me energetic the whole day.

Hi claire03! Oh I do love my coffee in the mornings but I usually take mine after 45 minutes of water therapy. I usually take my coffee with cream and sugar. Sometimes, I take tea but coffee perks me up in the morning. Just my thoughts dear friend. Take care and have a nice day!

hhmm, u remind me of what my hubby use to do, before he drinks his coffee, he needs to drink ice tea first in the morning. yah, it really wakes you up especially if it's strong coffee! have a nice day to you!

When making coffee in a coffee maker, put a little bit of salt in with the grinds because it takes the bitter taste out. It sounds strange but it does work. Hubby and I do this every time we make a pot of coffee. I like cream and sugar with my coffee and hubby likes just sugar.

I do not drink coffee every morning because it's not that healthy in my opinion. One should not obsorb too much caffein. Thus even though I enjoy drinking coffee, I try not to drink too much. I personally can not stand black coffee. It's too bitter to me. Like you, I have to add cream and sugar into coffee, especially sugar. But I won't add too much sugar. For one thing, it destroy the taste of coffee. For another, I do not want to gain that much fat. All in all, I love coffee~

I'm usually late because of coffee. I really take my time to drink it in the morning. I love it with milk. I mix it with about 75 per cent milk in a regular size tumbler. I really like to brew my coffee and I don't really like the 3 in 1 thing like Maxwell or whatever. I usually by my own beans from the market or Starbucks. I also ask other family members from the Philippines to send me some coffee beans from a place Batanggas. Their coffee is extremely good! But it takes about a month for it to get here in California so I have to do with it by just using whtever it is that we have here. I like to drink coffee with a slice of rye with cottage cheese. Yum! makes me hungry. If I can't really brew my own coffee I usually head to the coffee shops down town on my way to UCLA.

i know how it feels, your morning will not just be complete without coffee. i can substitute milk too if i run out of cream. i just don't like my coffee plain black. anyways, i came from the Philippines too and i love our coffee there, but it's instant coffee that's usually common there not brewed. you take care and God bless! Regards to all the Filipinos out there!

I don't drink a ton of coffee in the spring/summer...in the fall and winter I drink it a lot more. I used to like my coffee with a lot of sugar, now I just enjoy it black. i used to not drink coffee at all...then I started working at a place where they practically shoved it down your throat all the time...you had at least 4-5 people everyday asking you if you wanted coffee...then you started to drink it because that was all there was to drink!! Generally I like iced tea this time of year though :) I drink that unsweetened also.

Coffee doesn't happen to often in my house. My husband doesn't like it and coffee doesn't like my stomach. So he never drinks it pretty much and I only do once in a while. It really only gets made when my mother-in-law is over or when we have company.

I don't really drink coffee unless I am really tired and I really need something to keep me awake, if I have my choice I like real cream and Sweet and Low. I do like coffee with Irish Cream though.

I am afraid that I have had to switch to decaf coffee! I have always loved coffee but since I have gotten older I am not as tolerant of caffeine as I used to be. In the morning, I drink mine black but if I drink it in the afternoon, I like a mocha. Not always but for a special treat!
