I don't normally drink very much coffee but for some reason I've really been wanting some lately. So, tonight I'm sitting here sipping on my coffee as I type here on MyLot. I like my coffee with a little milk and sugar. My mother likes her coffee black. So, I'm wondering, how everyone else here on MyLot like to drink their coffee. So, let's have it, How Do You Like Your Coffee?

I don't drink coffee everyday but at least 3 cups a week. I like the taste, I just don't need to drink it. I add sweetener and cream to mine. Sometimes I buy the flavored creamer or coffee. I like Irish Cream and Hazlenut. When I was a young girl I was in the Campfire Girls. We went on an outing once and it rained, hard, to the point that we never got off the bus. All the counselors had prepared was black coffee. It was terrible but we were cold so it at least helped us to warm up.

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 black coffee, served with something sweet like a dish of ice cream, or a piece of chocolate. This is what I drink when I am at home. When I go to the coffee shop up the street, I like to order a mocha latte (espresso, cream, whipped crea, mocha, and chocolate shavings on top. Yummy!

I drink a lot of coffee with sweetener and many different flavors of creamers, hazelnut, French vanilla and Belgium white chocolate macadamia nut being my favorites. That being said I am not a real coffee gourmet.

Coffee.... CLICK FOR MORE FACTS - # Worldwide, more 1400 millions cups of coffee are drunk every day.
# Caffeine, which is found in coffee, increases the effect of some painkillers, especially aspirin and paracetamol.
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 Here are some random Coffee Facts: # 30% of coffee drinkers in US added a sweetener of some kind to their coffee, compared with 57% in UK. # October 1st is official “Coffee Day” in Japan. # Scientists have discovered more than 800 different aromatic compounds in coffee. # Coffee is the second most traded commodity in the world (oil is the first.) # Brazil produces around 40% of the world’s coffee supply. # A Belgian named George Washington invented instant coffee in 1906. # Coffee has been used as a beverage for over 700 years. # Black coffee with no sugar contains no calories. # More than 20 million people worldwide, work in the coffee industry. # There are two species of coffee plant: Arabica and Robusta. # 75% of the world’s coffee comes from the Coffea Arabica plant. # Drinking a single cup of coffee that has been brewing for 20 minutes provides the body with 300 phytochemicals which act as antioxidants and stay in the body for up to a month. # In days gone by, Turkish bridegroom had to promise that they would always provide their new wives with coffee. Brightest blessings, Mari

I am a coffee drinker, too. But not an addict type. :) I only drink two cups a day. In the morning and in the afternoon where I am usually busy with my websites. There are variety of coffee - ingredients and flavors being sold in the market today. I usually buy varieties so I there is always a new taste to sip with.

I don't normally drink much coffee... I only have one, in the morning... One in the afternoon, in a big mug, sharing it with my wife... Sometimes, another one cup at 3pm break... And sometimes, another mug before bedtime... We both love it strong, and with cream, if it's available...

i am proud to say that not doing the coffee, milk or creamer and sugar thing to my coffee 3 times a day eliminated the stubborn 5 lbs. to my frame. i play to the hilt my liking also for black coffee and that is plain coffee and water. it enhances the taste more whatever you take it with: cakes, cookies, even plain meal . no taste is overpowered with either one.

I drink it black. Years ago I used milk and sugar. Got to the point I only wanted liquid milk. Hated the powedered stuff and sometimes it was difficult to get if I was out in a restaurant. At that point, I learned to drink it black. Took awhile to adjust. Now I won't drink it with anything in it and am a daily morning coffee drinker. Better if I don't drink it in the evening since it tends to keep me awake.

I like my coffee like I like my men and my chocolate. Nice and rich! I like the fancy truffles in chocolate and in coffee I like lattes or custom flavored coffee and cream and sugar. I like it iced or hot if I am in a restaurant and they don't have the lattes or iced coffees. I am addicted!

Ah! Coffee! I love the stuff and I drink lots of it! I like my coffee strong with plenty of milk and no sugar. I don’t mind instant coffee but it has to be Nescafe Gold! Mind you I love lattes, cappuccinos, mochas, you name it... There is nothing like that first cup first thing in the morning…Uhmmm...

I am used with my 3-n-1 coffee and I just want to clarify about the article I have read that coffee is good for the skin which eventually gives me the thinking not to stop drinking coffee which I am planning to stop drinking coffee.Do you believe that coffee is really good for our skin?

I drink instant coffee and like it. Decaffeinated sometimes but most of times espresso. I like it dark, with no sweeteners or cream, I actually tried using an artificial sweetener in it once and it came out horrible!
