How do you drink your coffee?

Black. I try flavored creamer occasionally, but it's always disgusting unless I put so much in I can't taste the coffee anymore.

Cream usually but I'll drink it black or with sugar if necessary because I just don't give a FUCK. 

When it's made at my house, with sugar and cream since my coffee machine sucks and I don't really have great beans. More of an espresso man myself, though.

I don't drink coffee, but if I did I would want to drink it as black as night. If you have to add something to drink something then you're doing something wrong.

I put enough sugar and milk/cream in there to forget that I'm drinking one of the most vile tasting substances to ever (willfully) enter my mouth. And then I feel like a jackass, because I'm lactose intolerant so I get incredibly stomach sick for literally hours after one stupid cup of coffee made to keep me awake. This is why I drink tea. That and because I like to pretend to be British. COR BLIMEY!

sugar and milk or cream.

Black if I know it's good, which means not 99% of the time. A drop of milk otherwise.

With just a touch of whole milk. I used to add some sugar to that, but I gave it up. Sipping on sugar water all day isn't good for you.

With just a drop of milk.

With a little milk/cream and an ungodly amount of sugar. So much so that sometimes I feel I might as well just grab a spoon, a bag of sugar, and just call it a day.

Firstly: the way Americans make coffee is absolutely disgusting and creamer is a crime against humanity.

Secondly: I found one place in all of Hawaii that could do a decent latte, which gave me a new appreciation for the quality of espresso-based coffee in Australia

Lastly: I like a latte with light milk and no suga, but also enjoy the occasional cap, mocha, or short black.

I'll usually take a sip of it black to test it. If it's good I'll drink it black, otherwise I'll put in two teaspoons of sugar and one 9ml packet of half & half.

With as much FK as I can possibly handle.

1 teaspoon 35% cream. I do that more to change the consistency of the liquid slightly. Little bit more oily feel to it.

Will Smith and his coffee adventures got me hooked on all manner of brewing devices. Because of his enabling influence, I now own an Aeropress, a Hario V-60, a reasonably decent burr grinder, a kitchen scale, and the silly Hario Buono kettle with the bendy spout because I had already come so far there was no going back.

I now think $300 is a reasonable price to pay for a really nice coffee grinder. :D

How do I drink it? Why, through an apparatus that carries the coffee into my mouth, such as a mug! I take my coffee with a little cream.

If I do drink coffee, I'll just go for milk and sugar. Although, I feel like I should probably start just to get me started in the morning. I suppose I should go visit Tested and look for coffee related posts.

Give the Aeropress a try. The quality difference between it and regular auto-drip is huge. I used to be an any old cup of caffeinated crap would do me fine kinda person. Then I bought the Aeropress on a whim as it's only 30 bucks. Mind blown, coffee brewing minutia obsession ensued.

Black, just like my men.

With sugar and cream.

With my soft, supple lips I entice it onto my wiry tongue. I allow it to gently swash about inside my body before it slips down my tender throat.

What a joy.

And black.

Where's the depth charge option? Black just isn't strong enough anymore?

I hate black coffee, but I have been drinking coffee since I was very young. The thing is though, although I have done so from an early age, I don't really do the whole make a pot of coffee and put some creamer in then I'm good sort of thing anymore. I mostly did that when I was in high school, and I sometimes still like to do it if I ever have the right creamer, the correct creamer for me is French Vanilla Coffee-mate, whether that be the powder or liquid. Now though, I do consume a lot of coffee products.

I either make my own mocha by putting coffee, soy milk (but sometimes regular skim milk if I don't have anything else), sugar, chocolate syrup, ice, and if I have some, chocolate chips into a blender and mix it up, then also, when I have some, some whip cream on top, or sometimes I just drink a Monster Mocha. I remember the first cup of coffee I had, it was when I was about three or five, this is at least what I believe was the first cup. I was in this cabana place and I was with my mom, some guy that worked there handed me a cup with creamer in it, it was great.

haha, that's great. My first cup was when I was around 13. At least that's when I tried it seriously and I've been drinking coffee ever since (27 now, 28 in two months). I have never tried coffee black and I don't think I could do it. I can't stand bitterness. I put lots and lots of cream (typically unflavored Coffee Mate or offbrand, powder or liquid [depends on my mood and what we have] or, if we have it, flavored Coffee Mate like French Vanilla. One of my favorites is Vanilla Nut) and then one or two or three spoons of sugar. Depending on the cream and sweetness of it. Lastely I've also been adding a small spoonfall of regular baking Cocoa. It's really great and I love mixing that in now. Occassionally I will make my own homemade Ice Coffee using regular Coffee Mate liquid, lots of it, plus some powder, and simply sugar and ice.

Black as Claude.

...wait

Yes, The Smith has influenced my coffee habits to a frightening degree as well. I never ever thought I would be a coffee snob in my lifetime, but here I am.

Same here.

There's always that one new person at my local Starbuck's who's like "You want a medium roast, no room for cream, no sugar?" The regulars know me and don't even sweat it.

shhh.

Black for hot coffee, cream and sugar for iced coffee.

Drink of choice is an iced Americano, though - espresso and water, black. So good!

Small amount of suger. French Vanilla Coffee Mate creamer. Good stuff.

Black, when you start putting other things into it, it's not coffee anymore.

I don't drink coffee.

where's the option for "By the gallon"? Also, black.

I take it black, like my men.

Two creams, Three sugars.

The coffee we have at the office is terrible.

Whole Milk and Sugar. Black if I must.

when I was younger, it was just cream and sugar. Now growing older, BLACK AND BITTER

i tend to go with black, but ther's nothing wrong with mixing it up from time to time

Black. If the coffee's really bad then I'll throw some sugar in there.

Typically, I drink 7 - 12 hour old, cold, black coffee. Coffee that should have been thrown out, I will drink entire pots of.

I wish I were man enough to drink my coffee black.

I add a shitload of milk and sugar and sometimes cinnamon.

All over the place depending on my mood. Sometimes black, sometimes with 2 splenda, sometimes with 3. Sometimes with milk, sometimes with Coffeemate. WHATEVER FITS MY FANCY.

Sometimes just some milk & sugar but often I go with what some have initially thought somewhat crazy which is taking some of those packages of hot cocoa (where you need to make with hot water) & instead of hot water I use coffee then a little milk. Not as good as a mocha from some places where they use shots of expresso but for a cheap version it works well enough.

Black with some vodka for the extra punch

I don't drink it.

I don't always drink coffee, but when I do, I drink it black.

Black.

I wondet how many people said black just because, i'll drink it black but i like some sugar as i find my mouth gets a horrible shitty taste from straight black coffee. I could care less about milk or cream tho.

Where's the "Like a man option"?

Black. I only use milk if the coffee tastes like shit (but I need it).

Ever since I became a college student ( too poor to afford cream or anything) I take my coffee black as night and twice as strong.

In a Freddie Mercury mug.

I am surprised how many here are into black.
