How do you like your coffee? with cream and sugar? Black? Just cream?...Do you use flavored creams? Milk or half & half???.... Im a coffee-holic, I just went and got a coffee, thats why i decided to start a discussion about it :). I usually take mine with cream and sugar but im trying to lose weight so i cut out the sugar! Do you recommend any really good coffee or creams to buy??? Also, Do you drink coffee only in the morning or is coffee an allday drink for you?

Oh, my, science! Coffee coffee coffee! I'll take it anyway you bring it. Lately I've been really enjoying old coffee though. I mean old, cold and reheated coffee I made earlier in the morning. I am also a black coffee kinda guy. Coffee is a most of the day drink for me.

Bunnyhoover.. Im just like you in the sense that I will take it anyway it is served to me... LoL... I LOVE LOVE LOVE coffee.. Now that im pregnant it puts a lil damper on how much I am able to drink throughout my day but I still enjoy it if I crave it :)... I too love cold, reheated coffee, something about it makes it taste better to me...hmm...maybe we are weird.. haha... I however cannot drink black coffee, as it tends to taste too bitter to me. Happy coffee-ing.. LoL

I'm not a big coffee drinker - meaning I don't need a cup every day or anything like that. I typically drink it in the wintertime. It's a comfort drink in the winter and it can warm me up. When I drink it in the winter time I typically use ff creamer or 2% milk and splenda. Now that it's summer, I enjoy iced coffee! I love getting it at Dunkin Donuts and choosing my flavor shot. Blueberry Iced Coffee is so yummy!! In my iced coffee I typically get 2% milk and splenda.

I love coffee too!With cream (or 2% milk) and sugar though. I've tried flavored creams before - and never liked any of them with my coffee. I only drink it in the morning (on a regular basis) mainly because I don't want to get addicted to caffeine too much. However, whenever I meet friends at a coffee shop - I always get coffee! I get headaches when I don't drink coffee in the morning- yes, the caffeine addiction. But it taste oh-so-good!

Talk about caffeine withdrawls..Before I got pregant I was literally a coffee addict. Well when i got pregnant I had to SERIOUSLY cut back, I almost lived off of coffee. When I did this I went through the WORST withdrawl EVER! It was horrible, I didnt even like myself anymore. I dont know how my husband dealt with me.LOL...Since the massive headaches and mood swings I decided it was better for me to drink coffee with limits rather than not at all! It truely put the saying "there is a such thing as too much of a good thing" into retrospective to me! ! My coffee is amazing... Im trying to drink it slowly, I dont want to run out... :)

I love coffee too. Very seldom drink it now because I'm pregnant. Regular coffee I like cream and sugar. My absolute favorite is when I have a few bucks to spare, going to a stand to get a Mexican Mocha, I love them so much :)

Soy milk is VERY good for you. I myself cant drink it due to an allergy to soy :(... I used to love it until the allergy popped out of now where! ! ! ... I have to have my coffee in the morning but I could literally drink it all day long... Do you like it only hot or blended/iced as well?...I love blended coffees. If I go to starbucks i will get a grande white choc. mocha frap.. YUMM! ! ! with an extra shot of expresso.....Dang.. Now i wish i didnt just go get a coffee and went to starbucks here on base instead.. Oh well.. maybe later ! ;)

I want my coffee to be at least as strong as I am, so I take it black. I like a good, rich, robust roast that is strong and flavorful. Years ago I used to put sweetener in and milk, gradually going to no sweetener and 1% milk, and then finally to unadulterated black coffee. Since giving up the creamer or milk, I find that I never have to worry about having coffee if there is no milk in the house. I drink coffee in the morning until about 11am. I usually have some other type of drink with lunch, returning to coffee in the afternoon to help keep me going. I may have coffee again after dinner to help me stay alert through the early evening. But more than just its ability to keep me alert, I just love the taste of coffee and would drink it anytime.

I want to put creams in coffee and i want it lukewarm and i usually drink it afternoon or night because if i drink it in the morning, i feel chest pain. I stick to the brand i use to and i do not know what is good coffee or cream. I am like that sweet lover and i prepare my coffee a little bit sweet.

I luv lots of sugar and cream in my coffee! I also like frozen frappacino drinks too. The sweeter the coffee drink the better. I also like to try fancy coffee drinks. If it looks pretty I'll try it. I'm just a girlie girl.:) When I am on a diet I take the caffeine pills. I think one pill is equal to one or two cups of coffee, I'm not sure. I also use sweet-n-low or equal instead of sugar. I won't put any cream or you could put low fat milk. I usually drink coffee in the morning, but if I need a pick me up later in the day I'll drink maybe 1 cup or take one caffeine pill.

I will drink coffee black if I have to, but I like my coffee with powdered creamers, though just plain creamers not the flavored ones and no sugar. I have a pot of coffee going all day and go nuts when I'm out!

Just reading this question got me in the mood for a cup . . which I really only drink in the morning but I just put a small pot up so it is brewing as I am typing! First of all I do not like my coffee to strong . . I usually use Maxwell House (or whatever has a good sale) but recently my cousin went to New Orleans and he brought me back a really good one from the famous French Quarter. Anyway I like my coffee light and I love it with French Vanilla creamer. They make it two ways, one with sugar (bout 40 calories per tbsp and one without sugar about 20 calories) . .I havent found much of a difference between the 2 and the brand doesnt matter to me .. again whichever brand is on sale is the one I stock up on! And the last thing I need in my coffee is 2 Splendas .. sometmes Splenda isnt around so I opt for 2 sweet and lows. .. .never ever the Blue equal packet ..to me that has an after taste! So there you have it. . .and now I am going to have that cup I just brewed ;)

Reading everyones posts got me wanting another cup of the good ole joe! But im not allowed so I will just wait and have it in the morning :)...I dont know how you do the splenda- Splenda tends to give me a MASSIVE migraine!

Really hard to imagine that the Splenda gives you a headache because I think it is the most natural sweeteners (other than sugar) on the market, I even use it when I bake if the recipe calls for sugar . . .

The only thing remotely close to coffee you'll get me to drink is cappacino. I can't handle the strength of coffee I guess. Plus if I get that kind of caffiene I'm bouncing off the walls. I'd just look for law fat options and maybe skim milk instead of the cream.

I love coffee too and on most days I will have a cup (extra large ones!) or maybe two. I just got back with my second of the day. I usually get americanos with half & half and raw sugar. There was a study a while back that said that most people who take cream & sugar with their coffees are on average, thinner than people who drink it black! Weird, huh? BTW, I am kind of on the thin side...

i mostly only drink coffee in the morning, but if i am very tired i may have a cup in the early afternoon, as well. i like it any way, but usually i drink it black because it is just easier. however, my favorite way to drink it is to mix it with some cream, chocolate milk, and ice and put it all in the blender for a frozen coffee drink.

Coffee is an all day drink for me. I like drinking it black. Just drive over to my local Quik-Trip and buy me a big ol' coffee. Then if it gets cold and I am not finished with it usually I just re-heat it in a microwave. Much easier than going and buying a whole new one. When it runs out I buy a new one. But I recommend Quik-Trips, it has a low price and doesn't taste bad! I also like Dunkin' Donuts coffee. All of these are national stores in U.S.A.

At home I brew my own coffee fresh from whole coffee beans. I like to use flavored creams, generally I just like classic vanilla. I like my coffee to be sweet so I add a lot of sweet coffee cream to mine. It's almost sweet like something you would get at Starbucks. Oh and I also tend to prefer iced coffees, I am not much of a fan of hot drinks.

I love coffee. I drink it all day. I like it black so I can taste the beans. While kona coffee is my favorite, (much to my husband's dismay as I pay around $20 a pound for it) I do like the flavored bean coffees. Folgers makes a decent French Vanilla whole bean coffee, but my absolute favorite is Door County Creme from the Door County Coffee and Tea Co in Wisconsin. It is a vanilla-hazelnut flavored bean. Very good!
