How do you take your coffee?

[hammondc]

Just curious. Me...I like a strong coffee with about 5 parts coffee and 1 part milk. 2.5 tsp sugar.

I am wondering if it is prepped like I do--does the quality even matter? I, for one, like Charbucks. BUT....I have never really ventured outside that realm (unclebeanz, killerbeans etc). I was thinking of trying some of those.

[MrJerry]

Cream and sugar for me. I've got a 3 lb special running right now if you'd like to take some of my Killer Beans for a Taste Drive!

[hscmit]

black

[nofeardiver]

you missed an option, i like mine black with 5 to 7 splenda packets... not to sweet just a hint of sweetness...LOL i can also drink it strainght black if its the right coffee... my new favorite is by New England call Blue Cobbler... awesome coffee, sweet on its own

[icehog3]

I too use cream or milk, and sweetener but not sugar. But there are several that I will drink black, most recently Honolulu Coffee Co.'s Kona Peaberry. So, "none of the above". ;)

[hammondc]

CRAP!!! I did forget black with sugar. Can a moderator add that?

[markem]

If the coffee is good, I take it black. Everyday coffee shop coffee, I put in a tiny amount of splenda and cream, just to take off the bitterness edge.

Same for me but raw sugar and a drop of cream

[MarkinAZ]

Generally, I drink my coffee black. Once in a blue moon and it would usually be in the evening, I might take my coffee with 2 teaspoons of turbinado pure cane sugar and half n half...

[T.G]

No option for intravenously?

:sad

Not unless we can add Splenda, Equal, Sweet'n'Low and Nutrisweet. ;)

[kelmac07]

Prefer tea...but if I have to drink coffee, then sweet like candy!!

[yourchoice]

Black.

[CoreyD]

It won't let me guess 2.
Depends, If its a roast I just did first pot is black to feel out the taste and to taste the bean so when I mix blends or what not I know the characteristics, then other times its a splash of milk with a dare of sugar and other times I add honey into the duo.

I got 2 votes! :wo

[Mr B]

I voted Cream & Sugar but I really use Silk Creamer not milk-creamer. I use about 20% creamer and a heaping tablespoon of sugar. This is for a 20oz Mug/tumbler.

[CasaDooley]

I like mine strong and sweet, like a caffeine candy bar! Picked up that habit in the middle east. :D

[Christiel49]

I love coffee so much that I have a Kurieg in my master bedroom/bathroom!!!!

Why is there no option for non-dairy creamer? I like splends and non-dairy creamer(yes the powder kind). Or Black!!!

But the bag would be a nice option....

[CigarNut]

Strong, caffinated black coffee. A lot of it.

Did I say a lot of it?

I need lots of coffee. Every day. Caffinated.

Lots of strong black caffinated coffee :D

:D...Like the new Avatar Adam. Is that the Tall, Grande, or Venti drip?

[hammondc]

OK.....so, just as I thought, I am not the only one who likes milk or milk-like product and sugar or sugar-like product.

So....do you folks think there is a benefit to using some of these beans from unclebeanz, killerbeans etc? Or does the milk/sugar mask the flavor too much.

I always out milk/cream/half & half and some sort of sweetener (substitute/regular sugar/ RAW) but thats not the part that matters to me. The part that matter is the coffee itself. I'm no coffee aficionado but I definitely think that where the beans come from, how it's roasted and made into coffee matters.

So to answer your question, yes it does benefit from using quality beans.

[hammondc]

I just PMed Jerry to get hooked up. I will give them a shot.

One tsp ea of granulated fructose and coffeemate.

[Bill86]

I have no preference. I'll drink coffee any way, even cold.

[ashtonlady]

Black, but only if I roast it. If I have to drink store bought then it is cream and splenda.

[The Poet]

I like my coffee like I like my women . . . bottomless, ready to go, and with a lid on it.

[Dave128]

I like my coffee either black or with splenda/equal.

[Montano]

1/2 Caff 1/2 Decaff with Splenda. Full Caff no longer agrees with my stomach :(

What Brand of coffee are you drinking? Darker roasts effect the stomach more than lighter roasts. And Most grocery store coffee out there is dark roast.

60 replies to the poll and I'm still the only one with just cream? WOW, I'd have thought this would be a popular option.

[CoreyD]

I got my Bunn in my bedroom for a quik fix of my home blends but I think wade might of talked me into a french press. I use a percalator camping at my moms land and thats nice and oily .

[EricF]

I drink mine as it's brewed, Black. The stronger the better. We usually buy espresso roast, french roast or sumatra. My wife will sometimes sneek in a bag of dunking dognuts cuz she likes it.

And she uses the powdered creamer also.

[Bill86]

34 replies to the poll and I'm the only one who just uses cream? Thought there'd have been more.

I voted in with you, even though there is no option of "how ever the hell you pour it, I drink it"

More often than not though I'll just toss some creamer in with it, liquid or powder...no preference.

What can I say I'm easy going

[KenyanSandBoa]

I too use cream or milk, and sweetener but not sugar. But there are several that I will drink black, most recently Honolulu Coffee Co.'s Kona Peaberry. So, "none of the above". ;)

:tpd:...mine also varies is it's iced or not. Sometimes I drink iced black, but it it's an espresso over ice, I just add a little milk.

[Smokin Gator]

My mom told me long ago... "Son, if you are going to drink coffee drink it black. That way if you have coffee you have all you need."

[hammondc]

I wish I could drink it black. I just do not like the flavor.

oh my. Do you even taste the coffee after all that stuff?

[SmokeyJoe]

Black...

or with bourbon. :ss

[IBQTEE1]

I need cream and sugar my co-workers like it thick. I do like mine with Baileys too.

[CigarNut]

One of my co-workers starts off with 4 packets of "creamer" and 12 packets of sugar in his 8 ounce coffee... If a spoon won't stand up in it, he adds more sugar and "creamer" until it does...

It sorta makes me cringe...

[Tbagley]

Hot, black and strong. Rarely a touch of sugar.

[Drez]

2 sweet and lows or equals and a litle cream in my 16 cup for work.


if its nasty work coffee then 3 sweet n lows and a little more cream......

[Mattso3000]

It's whiskey or nothing...

[Tyler]

Black, how coffee should be enjoyed in my personal opinion.

That is disgusting. I think it is strange my girlfriend always adds sugar and coffee mate but she only does a little. To me coffee is supposed to be drank bitter and black. Less calories more taste. It is like cigars kind of. Drink enough cups that way and you eventually pick up on the undertones that you didn't realize were there, though sometimes it is really obvious from the get go. Just my personal opinion though.

[CueTheMusic]

Black. If it is crappy coffee, I will add a bit of cream. Cream makes good coffee worse, but bad coffee tolerable.

Agreed, although bourbon will keep it black.

[Flounder]

Granted, I cant drink hot coffee in the summertime, and I cant drink cold black coffee. So if I do drink coffee in the summer, which is rare, I'll do cream and sugar.

[Mattso3000]

I put espresso over ice in the summer, sort of like a cold americano as the ice adds water as it melts. Straight coffee, though.

Unless I have time to mix up Cuban Coladas ... then I'll take that ... and climb the walls. ;)

I agree, iced black coffee by itself is rarely good. I too add some cream and sugar to my iced coffee.

Hot coffee is good. Iced coffee is good. Hot tea is good. Iced tea is good. Hot Chocolate is good. Iced hot chocolate just tastes like cold, gross chocolate water.

[Pat1075]

black why ruin a perfectly good cup of coffee

[audio1der]

Black as death and twice as strong.

[smokepuff]

With a pinch of cream and a little sugar

[Hippiebrian]

Extra large. Extra strong. Nothing in it. Real bitter. Smell that will knock your head back.

Wait a minute, did you say coffee or my ex-wife?

[alexvez08]

I use to make my coffee as equal milk and water with 2.5 tsp sugar and a small piece of ginger that adds a sweet flavor to my coffee. I like to have a strong coffee in the morning.
