I like mine white and sweet.  In fact I'm enjoying some right now.

For poll purposes "cream" means dairy or non-dairy substitute that includes cream, half-and-half, and milk.  Soy milk sort of falls in that category.  For the record, I prefer half-and-half.

If this is a poll, why don't you "Add Poll".
It's easy and only you as the author of this topic (or an administrator) can add it.

I don't think I have those permissions, at least I couldn't find the button.

with cream and sugar

Milk or cream, and sugar.

I don't mind either milk or cream. It has to taste good.

I drink mine w/ half and half.

NO milk, 2%, 1% skim, etc  :icon_boxing:

y2g

Strong, just ground, and very black.  I prefer hot, but cold will do if it must.

I like my coffee black and hot. I don't like cold coffee. I will take a chai breve over a cup of coffee. I don't care for starbucks, to oily.
Sheila

when 'Mericans say cream, do they actually mean cream...like the thick fatty milk-stuff, or is it just yankspeak for milk?
For the record I hate coffee and drink cheap, strong black tea with a tiny dash of milk...(and when I say tea, I mean hot).

erm, tea. tea-tea. black tea...Red label, supermarket. Builder's tea...in a mug

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ij0bEZFuecw

Oh, and you know cream...the thick milk, is that what you mean? Or do you just mean normal milk and call it cream?

Its tends to be Half and Half, half heavy cream, half milk - but more so its some white powder that 'substitutes' for both.  Iccck.

la la la latte......
triple shot
hazelnut or vanilla
caramel machiatto is good too.

Audrey

milk and equal at home. Grande vanilla latte at Starbucks.

Oh yeah what are you goin to do about it.   >:D  ;)

Audrey

Now this is the kinda fight it's so much fun to moderate!!!   :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Go to it, girls!!!

N~

cat fight... meow...

well i like my coffee with lots of sugar and a shot of Baileys Irish cream

I figured out where the "add poll" button is...duh.  Sorry about that, if you've responded come back and vote in the 2008 coffee primary! 

I really don't care for coffee I'm sorry. I would go for tea or hot chocolate though.

Anna

Straight up, like a real man. I checked "other" though, cause a shot of brandy can only improve a cup of strong coffee. I'm not saying how much of a shot though because of the dosage issue.

Dennis

Half n half and 2 sweet n low.
On pay-days, I splurge on a grande 6 shot raspberry/mocha breve with whip. And it's only $7, a real  bargain!

Karen Lyn    :icon_caffine:

I added another option to the poll.  Black with artificial sweetener!

tink :icon_chick:

sweet and creamy made with espresso, french or italian roast, preferably from an espresso machine... ummmm. too bad it is so close to bed time. >:(

Hey Dennis, as long as your not taking the cap off the fifth, looking at it and tossing it away thinking "Hey, I won't be needing that" your doing OK.

I like my coffee CRISPY.

Cindy

I only drink double or triple :-) expressos. Black coffee is for weaklings HAHA
and lets not even think about the outrage of putting milk and sugar in coffee,
might as well spray paint the Mona Lisa while your at it  ;)

It's at the bottom of the page.

Dennis

I've always always always hated the taste of coffee, it's just soooo bitter and, well, coffee-tasting. I tried it with like 6 sugars and half the cream but I just can't get the coffee taste out of the coffee!

Hi Keira
Ya could always join me after drinking a sufficient amount of espresso we could paint the Statue of Liberty or the CN tower, or maybe both.

Cindy

If the coffee doesn't kick you in gut, your doing something wrong... HAHA.
You have to remember that I eat a whole large jar of fireball salsa with
a spoon... Don't try this at home folks ;-).

Shhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!! don't talk to loud you might make my dragon jealous.

Cindy

BLACK at least 3 or more strong cups each morning !

Jamie L.

Black! 6 shots of espresso over ice. mmmmmmmMMMM. I drink it in all kinds of weather a couple of times a day. Luckily I get it for free since I work at starbucks or I'd pay an arm and a leg for my coffee bill at the end of the month.

Yikes, only a man would do something that reckless, which you obviously are.

I hope you aren't into drinking raw eggs at the crack of dawn as well  :)

I like mine with soy or other nut milk or rice milk.

I like it black also depending on the occasion

I always have espresso black.(is there any other way to have it?)

I also like sweetened coffee on ocasion, like as a hot chocolate or somthing.
I will ussually get a late for that

Sara

If it has to be coffee I like international delights vanilla creamer

But I'd prefer black tea with artificial sweetener or honey. :)

i got to have my coffee  with a little suger and cream.  otherwise iam VERY VERY MOODY to put it nicely ::) ::)

I like my coffee with chocolate. Mocha ftw!

Well, let's see.
There's mocha with or without either toasted marshmallow or peppermint.
There's latte in a variety of flavors including pumpkin and spice.
Then there's plain old black.

As for the regular/decaf debate, I like the Carabou philosophy:
"If you bought decaf, it wasn't for the kick, so it must have been for the flavor.  Therefore we provide the best tasting decaf available."

Hey if it wasn't for the kick, I'd do speed and skip the Starbucks tab.

How do I like my coffee?  The same way I like my beer - within reach!

Chaunte

I'm from Boston originally and I drink my coffee "regulah" -- lotsa cream, lotsa sugar! (just like The Wolf)

And lots of it!

Quote
Wenn ich des Tages nicht dreimal
Mein Schälchen Kaffee trinken darf,
So werd ich ja zu meiner Qual
Wie ein verdorrtes Ziegenbrätchen.

Ei! wie schmeckt der Kaffee süße,
Lieblicher als tausend Küsse,
Milder als Muskatenwein.
    Kaffee, Kaffee muss ich haben,
    Und wenn jemand mich will laben,
    Ach, so schenkt mir Kaffee ein!

I like my coffee like I like my men: with a spoon in them.

Lia

Is the spoon where you used it to dig out their heart, or up their nose?

Quote from: tekla on February 27, 2008, 09:43:53 PM

I'm starting to feel really badly for you. You musta really been down through it.

That sort of pain must be excruciating.

Hugs,

Nichole

Mmmmmmm......espresso strength, please.  Black, with aspartame.  I buy a local roaster's whole bean, Mayorga coffee, and grind it fresh, one pot at a time.  I like the darkest, oiliest roast they make, maybe Winter Blend, African Roast, or Cafe Cubana.
Every night before bed I brew a fresh pot, and take 2  20 ounce cups up to bed, drink one straight down, and nibble at the other from sleepy time till dawn, as I wake up frequently.  No, not because of the coffee....'cause I have to pee a couple times a night, because I'm an old(er) lady.....or maybe because
I drink so much coffee.  Hmm.... ???
During the day, only one cup of coffee, but about 6 bottles of water.

Different strokes

I don't get what Americans mean by cream either. In my country cream is considered the fat you take off the top of milk from a cow.

We normally drink coffee or tea with milk (which ranges from 0% fat to something like 3.3% for our standard 'whole' milk - this is more or less what is left from cows milk after you take away the 'cream')

Our cream is like 35% fat, and you can whip it up to add it to deserts - and if you shake it long enough it turns into butter. Putting that in your coffee would be a bit rich, but it is not too bad whipped and placed ontop of a hot chocolate.

I had a look online and I think I have it sorted out Pica pica (see below), I've discovered that in my country we don't even commonly produce or use the thing most Americans call 'cream' domestically, at least not in our coffee. This is probably the same for England.

36% or more butterfat - Heavy whipping cream
30–36% butterfat - Whipping cream or Light whipping cream
25% butterfat - Medium cream  (don't commonly get this in my country)
18–30% butterfat - Light, coffee, or table cream  (don't commonly get this in my country)
10.5-18% butterfat - Half and half (don't commonly get this in my country)
3.25% butterfat - Whole milk
about 2% butterfat - 2% or Reduced fat
1.5-1.8% butterfat - Semi-skimmed
about 1% butterfat - 1% or Low fat
0.5-0.0% butterfat - Nonfat or Skim or Skimmed

In the United States and Canada, a blended mixture of half cream and half milk is often sold in small quantities and is called half-and-half. Half-and-half is used for creaming coffee and similar uses (just a note that if you said you were creaming your coffee in my country it would be taken you were going to have a wank into your drink). In Canada, low-fat cream is available, which has half the fat content of half-and-half. In the United States, skim milk is also known as "fat free" milk, due to USDA regulations stating that any food with less than ½ gram of fat per serving can be labelled "fat free".

forget coffee, how do you like your eggs in the morning?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6YNt0QVgDU

I like my eggs sunny side up!  With toast and white (milk, not cream) coffee, no sugar.

The girl in the vid was very entertaining.  :)

she was enjoying herself. I like 'em scrambled with brown toast and (proper) butter.

I like mine w/ cream (half and half as we say in USA)

Z

For me it has to be 100% black, invariably.
I like my coffee unflavored,* black, strong, organic, fair trade. Espresso is my favorite.

*I dislike the commercially-added flavorings. But once in a while I might add certain spices while brewing it-- cardamom (Indian and Arab custom), cinnamon (Mexican), or even ginger (Yemeni). Indians sometimes spice their tea with chai masala and apply similar spices to coffee too: a blend of cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, black pepper, and ginger. If you make filtered drip coffee, do not add powdered cinnamon to it, because in hot water it turns into a thick colloidal goo that won't let the water go through the filter. Use a broken-up cinnamon stick. I once had Arab coffee with mint leaves added, which was surprisingly good.

Hi,

Coffee, what would I do without it.

Sarah

hot and black.  I don't like any of the flavored coffees.

Amber

When I have the choice of how I have my coffee (i.e. I make it myself), it has to be milk-based, and has *at least* three teaspoons of espresso coffee (and I don't know how many things of sugar to counter the coffee-y bitterness ;) ::)).

Cool - 15% of us don't like coffee! I am not alone!

omg... coffee... yuuuuummmmm.  when its like... regular coffee that someone made, i add milk and sugar.  so it ends up as only like 1/2 coffee.  but when i get it from a local shop i get either mint mocha (if im feeling rich), mocha, iced mocha, or blended ice mocha.  i like mocha. :)

Cool - 15% of us don't like coffee!

No, but you are a real minority.

Yirgachefe or Kenyan green beans, roasted by me the preceeding day, in a small batch, to the perfect color and oilyness. Ground before brewing, in a good press pot. Soy milk and a bit of sugar added to the cup. Drink slowly.
Ohhhhhhhh!!
But roasting sets off the damn fire alarms as much as not.
Tara

I doubt I could function without at least one cup of hot black during the day. Particularly in the mornings, since I am naturally nocturnal. But I don't really like sweet drinks, so I prefer it very strong, very black, and without any form of sugar or sweetner in it at all.

And never decaffeinated. :)

The best brand I ever had was one called 'Rocket Fuel', which contained guarana. Whoosh! Talk about a wake up call. ;D

I like my coffee the way I like my motorcycles. BLACK and HOT!  The darker the better.  four shot espresso is acceptable, too.

Love,
Janet  :icon_caffine: :icon_caffine: :icon_caffine: :icon_caffine:

The only way I would get on a motorcycle would be if it had a side car, custom made for Wing Walker.  ;D

Cindy

I like some coffee in my sugar and cream (if you get what I mean)  ;)

ewwwwwwwwwwww coffee.. how i get my caffeine is by mt dew lol

Hi Leiandra, I don't believe we met, I love your avatar. Both my partner and I like our coffee strong enough to float the Titanic on it. But then I only drink two maybe three cups of coffee in a day, depending how often we happen to drive by a Tim Horton's coffee shop. I am also nocturnal, My intentions might be on going to bed early but the earliest I get to bed is at 3:00am. I like the night where it's quiet and one can let the mind go hither and yon all it pleases. But I don't like getting up late and miss the morning either. But it all works out ok I just don't worry about when to go to sleep I just go when I feel the urge.

Cindy

in the country that is
my neighbour to the north
they call it a double double!

cream and sugar, if  you please!

Me like (https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi11.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fa191%2Fcynthiag932%2FTimHortons.jpg&hash=d006711b2be486ef7b7a800ac121f31ca71261c8) coffee

But I will not touch espresso, Goodness it took 24 hrs to chill out from a super high after trying that stuff, "rocket fuel!!!" "Woo woo!" 

Cindy

My favorite way to drink coffee is "frequently."  ;)

usually it's regular drip with 2 sweet-n-low and some half-n-half. when I splurge, it's a 16oz, 4 shot, raspberry/mocha. YUM

But I will not touch espresso, Goodness it took 24 hrs to chill out from a super high after trying that stuff, "rocket fuel!!!" "Woo woo!" 

Espresso has no more caffeine, and in most cases less, than a regular cup of coffee.  Its all in your head.

I love anything raspberry  ;D  I have had the raspberry/mocha,  in fact I might just get some today when I go to the bank.  ::)

I like my coffee with five packs of Splenda (sweeter than real sugar--I use less) and a bit of real milk. I never really understood coffee as a stimulant. Maybe I drink too much caffeine (I'm cutting back, actually), but I've never used coffee to "wake up". I just drink it 'cause I like it, and sometimes the best time to drink it is right before bed!

I've always been partial to a strong, dense cup of fresh coffee that I'll roast and grind myself.  I use beans chosen by me, and I'm rarely disappointed.
The best source for beans or equipment that I've found on the Internet is http://www.sweetmarias.com/

They also roast several varieties in small batches every week. If you've an interest in coffee, take a look!

Cream and Suger and sometimes Irish Cream flavoring.   prefere to have real Bailey's Irish cream but can't have alcohol where I live.

There was an article titled "Brewed Awakening" in a recent issue of Bitch magazine about coffee culture and misogynist propaganda. How coffee is masculinized in America and supposed to be the drink of "real men" as opposed to tea which is feminized and supposed to be only for women and sissies.

But in the Coffee Cantata by Johann Sebastian Bach, the characters are a daughter who's addicted to coffee, and her dad who tries to force her to quit it.

LOL...   Don't know where I would fit in that :P   I like both Coffee and Tea, though usually both are sweetened, and sometimes 9not all time) flavored.  And the coffee having cream as well lol

Lately been drinking more peach flavored sugerfree tea.  Find if it has the peach flavor I can do without real suger.  Think it has helped with the weight loss too

I've never actually drunk coffee, think it smells awful. I guess it might taste better than it smells but I'm not really interested in finding out.

How surprising... most people who refuse coffee say they love the aroma but dislike the taste.

Well I love coffee, black and strong, like Emily Saliers sang about in the Indigo Girls' song "Last Tears."

I'm gonna rack my mind one last time
until I cannot think
I'm gonna dip into your memory
and take a good stiff drink
and when I'm drunk on the last drop of sadness
about how we went wrong
I'm gonna play this song
make some coffee black and strong
give thanks for healing time
finally make up my mind.

Only thing I love better than coffee is Indigo Girls, and they go well together. Emily has sung about black coffee in several of her songs.

Cream with sugar.
Just recently I started drinking coffee again(having a cup right now) because I found that Decaf doesn't have the effect that normal coffee has on me (which was making me extremely irritable).

I gave it up. I used to love it! I still do, but it makes my breath smell like coffee for what seems like eternity, and it made me pee like I now do on spiro. When I used to drink it, I would take it black. On occasion with cream and sugar.

low-fat-milk (just enough to cool it so it's not scalding hot) and a touch of sugar.

All right, I'm not afraid to say it!! I am a lover of Starbucks!!

And I'll take a triple tall skinny vanilla latte... mmmm....

black until living on the streets said coffee with calories is better than starvation. Now its all the decorations.

At this very moment, I like my coffee strong, but also electroweak, coupled to an SU(2) doublet with a nonzero vacuum expectation value that spontaneously breaks the SU(2)xU(1) symmetry, with a couple of superheavy right-handed Majorana particles on the side, in the (1,1,0) representation of the gauge group, to provide for a small neutrino mass via the see-saw mechanism.

Mostly I like it in great quantities, to help me understand what all that meant.

I like mine with splenda.

Black.  Is there any other way?

No, when I was a teenager and first started drinking coffee, it was with cream and sugar, coffee is a developed taste (like most things).

By the time I was in my 20's it went to black and multiple cups a day.  In my 30's it was 10 cups a day or more.

Now in my 60's its two or three cups a week.

Sarah L.

like espresso OR black coffee with sugar only.

Black and VERY strong! (rather like my men LOL  :laugh: )

Darkest roast I can find brewed rather strong with a bit of cream  :icon_cool:

Only coffee I can stand is coffee ice cream.  Anything in liquid form is totally gross.  But for some reason I really like coffee ice cream :P.

Just cream. that is how i order it in shops, but i dont really care if its milk, half and half, even that powder stuff. But not a grain of sugar or ill spit it all out! And i dont like a ton of cream/milk either, bleh. I usually get coffee iced (even in winter!) but sometimes hot when im in the mood ^ ^ i love coffee!

I like tea!
Now thats a drink but maybe thats cause im british who knows.

Coffee's just...it just has this taste to it that makes me do this funny little jig followed by my head saying 'never again'

I want very much to like it too because im always half asleep

Niiice.

I like my coffee to magically transform into mint green tea, thanks.

...on that note, I like my tea with lots of sugar. Sometimes I like a bit of creamer in it, too, but it depends on my mood, the availability of good creamer, and the kind of tea I'm having. Always lots of sugar, though. |D

The title of this topic always reminds me of that song off that advert:

How do you like your eggs in the morning?
i like mine with a kiss
boiled or fried im satisfied
as long as i get my kiss

dooo da do do.

what is that advert ergh guna bug me to death.

I prefer tea herbal with skim milk and natural raw suger if available.  :laugh:

I'm thinking to buy an espresso machine...

I've been craving an authentic cappuccino for what seems like forever

It depends on what kind of mood I'm in. Usually it's with cream/sugar. If I really want to wake up I'll have it black.

I like my coffee with lots of cream and sugar.

I like my creamer and sugar with a little coffee. ;)

I like mine from Starbutts. :D

strong and black

Love the smell but don't like the taste.

The smell is way more enjoyable to me too.
Either just sugar, or black for me, but absolutely no milk because I'm a milkophobe. (not lactose intolerant)

i like iced (chocolate) mocha bottled coffee from starbucks

I'm huge on mochas but if I don't have money to spend (which is 6 days out of 7) I'll just have some Soy Good soy milk and a spoon of sugar. I'm not vegetarian, it just creeps me out, drinking the milk of another animal... I mean. We make our own :/

Starbucks SBB (Straight Black Bold):

Black as Stokely Carmichael's back side ... Bold as Arnold Schwarzenegger!

Only way to go.

black with no sugar and no cream nor any artificial sweetener ... the stronger the better... preferably one with a good aroma....

I'll prefer mocha in my up time. Black coffee with a teaspoon of sugar in my downtime; a bit of sweet with a sharp, bitter edge. Cuban coffee a must.

If its just dunkins i just like a regular coffee with cream and sugar. If its starbucks I like a caramel macciato with whipped cream :)

My father buys fresh beans and roasts and mixes them himself. Then we have our own espresso/coffee machine along with a dozen flavors to top it off. So I am spoiled on coffee. I usually drink it twice or more a day.....I am going to die.

But yeah, cream and sugar at least. Usually a lot of cream on top of a strong flavor. Don't really like weak coffee with little cream. Just doesn't work as well. Sometimes I put in flavoring of all sorts or Cinnamon or dark chocolate chips.

I don't like coffee at all.  :icon_blah:

It tastes nasty no matter what you put in it.

XD coffee is gross :D a monster O_O Is better :D

I usually like both creamer (preferably flavored creamer) and sugar. I only drink coffee sometimes though.
Starbucks is my favorite. (especially frappuccinos)

QuoteStrong, just ground, and very black.

Same here.

Black, 2 sweetners and always has to be Colombian  :P

I only like a little bit of coffee with a pack of hot chocolate and some cool water so I can drink it immediately.

7 scoops of sugar........

7 scoops of sugar........

    :eusa_sick:

Black, no sugar, and with a strength just short of having to eat it with a spoon.

Cream and sugar :)

Hot white or green tea for me, thanks.   ;D  I love to put fruit extracts in my tea, or just buy fruit-flavored teas.  I love tea!

In a... cup?  :laugh:  Yes, definitely I like my coffee in a coffee cup

Yes, a cup is best.  One does not like to think of hot substances causing second-degree burns in one's lap.   :o  Ouch!  lol

With milk and sweeteners. But i actually prefer a latte.

With both cream and sugar

I just tried mine with butter for the first time and wow... wish I'd tried it sooner. I'm planning to get some grass-fed butter which isn't that expensive at Market Basket near my house. Other than that, I just put a tiny cocaine-spoon sized spoonful of powdered stevia for sweetener. Yum.

What's with the cream... I use milk!
...And sugar.

Unsalted butter?  Like just churned cream?  How does it differ in taste from cream?

It's not a dramatic difference other than just tasting better. Hard to describe. I tried it with both salted regular butter and then lately with unsalted Kerrygold butter which is from grass-fed cows.

That's actually what comes with it for measuring. It's super sweet. That tiny little spoon is like a heaping teaspoon of sugar.

Was convinced to try the Aeropress and my first mug of coffee was quite good, noticeably richer and smoother than the same coffee brewed in my French press. It essentially brews espresso (except WAY cheaper than an espresso machine) so I made it Americana style, i.e. just added cream and more hot water to fill up the mug.

So what I'm drinking right now is that plus
cocaine-spoon of Stevia
tiny dash of salt
tablespoon of grass-fed butter
heavy cream

Some interesting (to me) trivia about coffee is that much of the flavor comes out early in the brewing but much of the caffeine comes out later in the brewing process. Therefore, espresso tends to taste stronger but not be as caffeinated since it's a rapid brew process. That also means that someone who gets impatient and pours themselves a cup while it's still brewing is often cheating everyone else out of some of the flavor but possibly cheating themselves out of some of the caffeine. You should really let a pot finish brewing for the coffee to be consistent for everyone.

Knowing that, I'm even happier about making my coffee Americana style because it will tend to mean more flavor and not as much caffeine which is my preference.

I've never actually had it before.

Unless the coffee is from a place like Starbucks, where I can get creative with my coffee... or essentially when I want a cup of "coffee flavored coffee", I like it "black as midnight on a moonless night". :)

My dad always said he likes his coffee like he likes his women. Tall, strong and black.  Which is funny because my mom is one of the whitest people I know....

I like my coffee how I like my women!

Really sweet and pale beige in color.

Haha. Not really. Not into women.

When I was little I'd be sitting in church with my parents and be really thirsty.  I wasn't allowed to get up unless I was about to pee myself because halfway through the service kids were allowed to go to their own little class thing.  So, if I was unbearably thirsty, my dad would give me his straight strong black coffee to drink.  That stuff is wicked, I don't see how you all can drink it. It has to almost no longer taste like coffee for me to drink it.

I love coffeee, best drink invented!

Black, for the most part. Unless you are talking canned coffee, in which case I buy the ones with the works. I can't stand black canned coffee.

I do occasionally make myself a Coffee Beanery type drink. Milk, sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon.

With cream and sugar so my coffee is sweet, like me.  ;D

Not too strong with some sugar and it has to be very hot. Can't stand cold coffee or coffee with creamer or weird flavors.

I prefer cream and sugar....but I will happily drink it black as well. I am just in love with the stuff.....my favorite is a dark roasted, oily Sumatran bean, on a snowy winter morning. Moments like that make life seem ever so sweet.

i make an upside down double cappuccino. i whip my creme up in the mug i'll be drinking out of along with some honey, and after the expresso/coffee has brewed into the glass pouring thing, i dump that into my mug with the frothy creme.

Mmm, it's time for one now!

I can totally relate to that! Sipping my hot coffee in the morning is my favorite time of the day.

I like my coffee iced with cream and sugar.

I love coffee, drink it just about everyday with a dash of milk / cream....

I enjoy a good hot coffee, not cold, lukewarm, or frozen coffee.
Sometimes a flavoring is nice.

I agree that pipping hot coffee is enjoyed best....

Coffee beans smell wonderful when being ground. Coffee smells even better when being brewed. 30 seconds after it is done brewing,  it is the most awful smelling thing ever. I have tried coffee once or twice. Never again.

But I don't mind if you drink some.

Just please don't set your cup down near me or try to kiss me for a while.

I can't even drink hot tea out of a cup that once held coffee. Sometimes I wish I could enjoy a hot cup on a cold morning.

With cream only

Steaming hot.   :)

I like it black with sugar, and strong enough to remove paint. Lol

No coffee for me but I'll have flavored black tea with lots of sugar.

With milk only

I only drink decaff now.

For some reason the testosterone made me much more sensitive to caffeine and much less sensitive to alcohol.

Tend to go a green tea instead with a slice of raw ginger.
More refreshing than coffee in the tropics.

Extra Sweet... Extra Light

Honey with Half and half

throughout the day

I like it morning, day, and evenings.

C -

I like a blend of Arabica beans and some Robusto for smooth flavor, creama, and a wonderful aroma.

Served piping hot, light and a little sweet is best.

Chrissy

Crisp!  :D

(OK, only people of my generation will remember that ad.)

I take my coffee black.  My Sunday morning treat is a cup of espresso with breakfast.  I don't need any sweeteners because I'm already sweet enough.  ;D

You do seem to be a very sweet person.   :)

In the morning, dark roast and as black as it gets. I'll have a cappuccino later in the morning and in the winter I'll go for a mocha type in the afternoon sometimes.

Black, unsweetened and not to hoot!
