Good day to everyone! :) Let's get right to it...[COLOR=#ORANGE]How do you take it...... your coffee?? Black, Cream, Sugar.... other??[/COLOR]

I love my coffee loaded. I have a sweet tooth and enjoy flavor and sweetness to my coffee. I have multiple Nestle Creamers on hand. My favorite is chocolate but hazelnut is a close second. I will also add in regular sugar or honey. I have been known to toss in a couple of little marshmallows at times. If I stop for coffee on the road I usually try for Starbuck's, Panera, or a bakery in town. It takes me awhile to get my coffee just right with all of the mixers I add in. I never order those fancy coffee drinks. I just get plain decaf so I can prepare it according to my taste. Larry says it takes me WAY too long to make coffee and that I annoy others' waiting. :nothappy: Hey - it must be perfect!!! ;)

Haha, I'm about the same as you! I don't like the premixed fancy coffees---I just want regular coffee and I'll mix in everything, thanks. And it must have lots of cream and sugar, flavored creamer is great (right now my favorites are Almond Joy and Salted Caramel Mocha. Hazelnut is the old standby), black coffee is icky, bleh :lol3:. And no decaf---I wouldn't drink coffee if I didn't want caffeine.

I drink decaf unless I am really tired. I just like the taste of coffee, and I wasn't always so sensitive to caffeine. I like my coffee black, no sugar or soy creamer. I don't sweeten my tea either

Strong!  With just enough 2% milk to make it not straight black.  LOL

I love it with real cream and a mix of stevia and vanilla-flavored sugar. Sometimes I use flavored syrup (vanilla, Irish cream, hazlenut) to sweeten it. I can drink it unsweetened, but not black.

I grind my own beans, alternating between Arabica and Columbian. I use pure cane sugar and hazlenut creamer. I only drink one mug in the morning to get a kickstart.

I use Folgers 1/2 caffeine, 1/2 regular. Just a bit of milk, never sugar. Can't stand that sweet taste. Paul's uses sweet and low but I'm trying to get him to cut back on it. Years ago I used sugar, then sweet and low, then 1/2 of a sweet and low, and now no sugar or artifical sweeteners at all.

I like my coffee sweet and flavored too.  We are into the International Delight creamers.  My favs are the York Peppermint Patty, Almond Joy and Heath flavors.  Oh and Southern Butter Pecan!  Yum!!

Regular with low-fat milk.. If I am at work, regular with the powdered creamer stuff (I don't have a fridge in my cube)

Occasionally I'll stop at 7-11 and get some coffee there with the flavored creams. Yum

Lauren, marshmallows are for cocoa!!! Yes, they are!

Hot or iced, with just skim milk. I prefer a darker roast, flavored is even better.

We used to grind our own beans too until Larry bought me a Keurig for my birthday last year! Now I buy those variety Kcups on Amazon. But, really, there is nothing like freshly ground beans. :nod: And Ooooooo - love the smell!!

Strong. I do like some flavored coffees. Buy, not the flavored creamers. I use only just enough evaporated milk to turn the coffee slightly.

I make an organic expresso on the stove top, heat the same again of skim organic milk and whisk it, top with some organic cacao and depending on how I'm feeling, add some Xylitol or sticky brown sugar!
