How do you like your coffee?

[hammer]

Heavy duty drinker here...creamer and Equal or Splenda. Sugar is better but the calories can add up...

Made some in a coffee press during a camping trip in the summer. Would prefer to have it that way but drip is easier to make.

The bolder the better. I used to despise Starbucks back. These days its all I drink. Cream and 1 packet of Sugar in the Raw for me. I do the drip at home. I also like my espresso. I have 3 old school Italian espresso pots that were my grandmothers. I've always wanted to pick up a French press for some time now. This thread just reminded me that I need to make up a new batch of homemade Kahlua.

With a 7 week at home I've had to do a second cup after lunch to keep me going.

I'm with you 1000% on this one, D...

I drink one cup in the morning. Very occasionally, one in the afternoon. Half and half only. Sugar is for wimps. I also like the darker roasts. Lately, I've been adding just a small splash of flavored coffee to mostly regular.

Half and half is for wimps too. I'll take it black.

I like the flavor black, but I like the heft of creamer. Can't deal with the powdered crap, adn milk doesn't cut it. My coffee needs some body.

Is your coffee lonely?

Freshly ground 8 o'clock brand dark roast with just milk. Grinding the beans just before making the coffee is imperative. And using a coffee maker that doesn't cook the coffee-heats the water, sends it through the grounds into a thermal carafe. We have Hamilton Beach Brew Station.

I too use 8 o'clock but I grind it at the store, love the smell, and I prefer Columbian roast, I learned to like Columbian products back in college in the late 60's. Why spend $8/9 bucks for something when you can spend $4 for something just as good. I know you Starbuck freaks scoff at such a statement but in taste tests they both came out the same. I use alittle milk, been drinking skim milk my whole life, so reg milk is like cream for me.

So what is cream like for you then?

 

[BeanoNYC]

Black, no sugar.

 

[Ski Diva]

I like my coffee somewhere else. Don't like it and can't stand the smell of fresh ground...

I agree with this completely. I drink tea, myself.

Coffee = Life
The very thought of a world with out coffee is akin to a world without snow.
Fresh ground ™Starbucks House/Esspresso blend + Bunn ® auto drip @ 3 min. brew time = JOY !!!
Your whole body will tingle, after the first sip. At ¢ .18 a cup brewed at home.
The secret to ™ Frappaccino involves the use of liquid pectin and cold double strenth esspresso blended with light sweet cream and crushed ice. If you like mocha add some hot coco mix and your good to go. Tons of variations and concoctions can be derived from the simple base kept in the fridge.
Made at home for about 2 bucks a picher full.
What do they get ? 6 bucks a cup at the store. Yeh, Right, Sure, Sign Me Up.
$ 9.00lb. for whole bean is bad enough. But whatcha gonna do.

Glad I'm not alone on this one. Maybe I'll have to start hanging out at theskidiva.com instead..

I drink tea, but only in the form of Snapple Lemon Ice Tea...
