How do you like your coffee?

[Marc]

I'm a semi regular coffee drinker (~6 cups/week) and I was thinking about how different people take their coffee. We bought a real nice Keurig machine for the office so we have lots of choices in styles and flavors.

In general, I go for the unflavored coffee, the darker the better (kinda like how I like beer). We recently started buying a variety from Newman's Own called Extra Bold... and it's fantastic.

Otherwise I like one or two sugars and one half and half. I'll do plain milk if that's all there is, but I really prefer half and half.

What about you?

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.

Yeah, percolators make horrible coffee. Bleh. I've only had fresh ground a couple times, but my taste isn't sensitive enough to tell a big difference between that and k-cups or pads.

2 cups every morning of fresh ground dunkin donuts..made strong and milk and extra sugar.

I never really drank coffee until the recent exercises in sleep deprivation that my 4 month old son has decided to excise upon us... That said, I'm a huge newb to coffee. I'm trying everything right now... Big fan of DD Iced Coffee with a flavor shot (coconut is a good one), milk and 2 sugars. At home, I've been brewing Gevalia's Irish Creme Ground Coffee with milk and 1 or 2 packets of Sugar in the Raw. MMmmmmmmm.

I don't really drink coffee- I'm high-strung enough as it is- but every once in a while I can be tempted by one of those tasty iced-coffees from McDonald's, vanilla/ light & sweet.

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

can't stand the smell of fresh ground...

Thats such an extremely foreign concept to me.. It's one of my favorite smells...

Yeah, I'm sure I'm in the minority there..

Two creams, no sugar.
We use a Bunn proffesional-style coffee maker. And usually whatever coffee is on sale (you'd be surprised. Don Francisco makes some damn fine coffee for $3/pound. 8 O'clock Bean is great, too, and I used to buy it when we had a grind-and-brew setup.) I love Luzianne, but it's too strong for my wife's taste. mmm, chicory...

Hot, bold, and black.

Regular coffee with milk and sugar, brewing as I write this. Once in a while I'll do some flavor but not every day

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.

 

[ctenidae]

My thought, too.
Such a good movie.

 

[Paul]

Black and bitter, like my soul.

I'll drink flavored if its not a very good bean to begin with (i.e. whatever's on sale)

It's a total addiction.. I love it...
