How do you drink your coffee?

[alejorge]

I like to drink my coffe with the International Delight French Vanilla creamer. I like my coffee a little strong and I use the Flogers Classic Roast.

Also do you like your coffee strong or weak?
What kind/brand of coffee do you use?

[still_me]

We grind our own coffee. We only use 8 0'clock whole bean in regular and hazelnut. Two mounded coffee scoops of both are used. We use the Melitta 10 cup gourmet pot. The single cup maker is used for me when I need an extra cup during the day. We make 8 cups of coffee this way, so scoop of coffee for every 2 cups.

I have been drinking International Pumpkin Spice mix in the tin cans. I am addicted to that stuff though.

ETA: After reading Kerry's post I realized we did switch to half decaf, half regular coffee because DH was drinking a pot a day by himself and then coming home and drinking two more cups after work.

[KerryS]

Black, and lots of it. I drink about a pot a day.

[sweetkisses]

Med-strong with sugar and lots of cream.

I really not picky on brand. I usually buy the coffee beans from our local health food store.

[PiccoloRose]

Medium strong with cream and sugar.

I'm not too picky on brand, but do prefer flavored coffees. Usually a chocolate flavor. I'm currently going through a bag of Ghirardelli chocolate raspberry. I've got some french-vanilla creamer to go with it, but have also just been using milk with it. If I drink non-flavored coffee, I like to use a chocolate creamer.

I'm thinking the next bag I open up is going to be either chocolate hazelnut or chocolate caramel. Both Ghirardelli (I got a Ghirardelli coffee gift set, so I've got several to choose from).

[Babyblue]

mild with chocolate syrup.

[Wolverine]

medium with whole milk or cream

[jessiehannan]

I can't drink coffee and I love it. :( So I stick to tea. A good grean tea, Darjeeling, Earl Gray or White tea. Green and white I drink plain. Earl Grey is with cream and sugar, even though I prefer honey. Earl Grey w/honey tastes and smells so strongly of roses that I can't drink it. Darjeeling is with honey, sometimes cream and sugar.

[Laurens_Mom]

Medium roast in my Senseo machine w/a little sugar and cream (just picked up some Dulce De Leche Int'l Delights).

[Joyto5]

I don't drink coffee. Can't do the caffeine. I do drink pero and like is very strong! Some days I add some ovaltine and milk to it. Other Days Agave. I do love the smell of coffee and hang out in the cofffee section in the grocery store.

[maksmom]

When I drink it I drink decaf, usually at work, we have Barnies delivered. I like to use sugar and hazelnut creamer, then pour it over ice.

[Gigi]

milk

sugar

coffee

[MissionaryMomma]

I've only ever had Turkish coffee---with a lot of sugar. It's not good to the last drop, though. If you do that, you'll drink the grounds.

[AuLait]

I like strong coffee with half and half and sugar. We use a regular old drip machine. I used to like the flavored creamers, but one day I just couldn't stomach it. They seemed to taste so chemical-ish.

My absolute favorite way to have coffee is "cowboy" or boiled coffee. This is how we prepare it at our extremely rustic (no running water, no electricity, boat only access) cabin. Boiled on a wood stove, strained through a strainer that was old when my great-grandmother got it(!), then tamed with cream and sugar. Maybe its the setting, but that is some damn fine coffee right there.

[The_Market]

As a friend of mine once said, I like my coffee fully adulterated.

As for brands, I get organic, ethically grown stuff. I like to vary things otherwise, but I brew it fairly strong because -despite all the sugar and cream- I like it to still taste like coffee.

[Teresa64]

I love the rasberry chocolate stuff. I only drink coffee when I am really cold. I have to be in the mood for it. I love starbucks but that is a SPECIAL treat. Way to expensive...

[Marysmom]

I cold brew my coffee with a Toddy maker. And I like to add Peppermint Mocha Coffee-mate. It is sooo good. It is not too minty at all. Just a nice mellow chocolaty mint taste. If you are interested, buy some now because it's a seasonal flavor and goes bye-bye in February.

I must insist on trying that. The location is key, of course.

The only rule is to avoid discussion of politics after all that caffeine.

[Shaunsmom]

I like mine strong. I usually just drink coffee at work. I make a strong pot of our no-name brand of coffee.

I like to add some sugar and hazelnut creamer to mine. Add enough creamer to make it a light brown color. Mmmn, delish!

[SueDid]

Mine is medium strong. I keep a gallon jug mixed in the refrigerator now after playing around with an iced coffee "recipe" this summer. I drink it iced if I want something cold, and zap it in the microwave if I want something hot.

My gallon jug has 2 pots of coffee, 1 cup of vanilla creamer, and 8 packets of sweet and low.

I like other flavored creamers when my coffee is hot and I do like the toffee/caramel flavored ones iced or hot. I also love Meijer's Michigan Cherry coffee beans and buy those and grind them myself when it's on sale.

For a special treat I'll put my coffee iced or hot in a glass or mug, then put whipped cream on top with a drizzle of caramel and/or chocolate sauce. YUM.

[Sassafras]

I never developed the taste for coffee but I love the smell of it.

[VegasLactivist]

Starbucks drip ground, sweet sugary creamers, and STRONG.

[MoonBound]

Strong enough to walk on it's own as Dad would say. Only when I'm not with DH as it is one of the five foods he can't stand. Grind your own variety called Highlander Grog with milk(whipped cream sometimes) and sugar.

But the best coffee is old fashion perked made by my grandma, in the fall drunk outside on a cool rainy day.

[Carolina]

I don't drink coffee that often but when I drink some, I like espresso coffee with milk and sugar or a vanilla flavored cappuccino. We buy Café La Llave. It's a very strong coffee, perfect for a espresso.

[daniela]

Strong with a pinch of sugar, and a flavored creamer. Right now I'm using Peppermint Mocha.

[cc1003]

Strong, about a half a teaspoon of sugar, and a baby splash of milk...yum...I also love flavored creamer.

My mom once gave me Jack Daniel's coffee...it was delicious!

[MiMi_of_4]

We drink Starbucks' Breakfast Blend ~ have no clue how to make it, because DH gets it ready at night. He puts Vanilla Caramel creamer in my cup, along with the spoon, so I stumble out of bed, hit the start button and by the time I've gone to the bathroom and brushed my teeth, the coffee is ready to pour into my cup.

[Monkeytoes]

I have a little coffee with my sugar and cream. :) I also like flavored coffees.

[PSMommy]

Foldgers Chocolate roast with International Delights Carmel Chocolate..............oh so good. I drink about a pot a day. LOVE IT!

[AuLait]

Its a date :)

[Bellaelle]

Strong black in the morning.

I also like cafe con leche aka cafe latte , no sugar.

[pomegranate]

Preferrably with a splash of milk, but black is just fine also.

[EvilAmy]

Loooove cowboy coffee.

Used to have an timer coffee pot but it took a crap and Smiley has yet had a chance to look at it to try and repair it, so I'm back to having to wait in the mornings for my joe.

Strong, usually in a big mug and with a bit of cream and sugar.

[JudyJudyJudy]

Milk or cream and a small amount of sugar.

[JudyJudyJudy]

Strong black in the morning.

I also like cafe con leche aka cafe latte , no sugar.
Ewwww. ;) One of the few times I like a good bit of sugar is in my cafe con leche.

[nicurn]

I don't.

I am an addict of Starbucks Green Tea, but that's another story.

[istacy]

Strong with some french vanilla creamer (or milk if theres no creamer) and sugar. I like folgers, but right now we are going through a small bag of starbucks ground coffee. I thought I would like it better because I love those cold canned coffees that starbucks makes, but I prefer the folgers for hot coffee.

[Babyhellfire]

I like a splash of coffee in my milk and sugar.. occasionally iced.
I have a little espresso machine now , so I can steam my milk and have cappuccinos ..always lots of sugar and milk.
I like flavored coffees, foldgers is good.(that vanilla biscotii special was fav so far.)
I have only recently started drinking coffee regularly enough to explore brands.
It reeks havoc on my guts. I don't like to have it when I am not home...and not everyday.

[leosmommy]

We don't even own a coffee pot. I will indulge in the occasional Caramel Mocha from the local coffee place, other than that, not a coffee drinker.

[FrznPolarAngel]

I do not drink coffee but every morning I make my husbands coffee.

We have a french press, use freshly ground coffee, little dash of creamer and I pick whatever flavoring syrup I feel like giving him. :)

[dalurker]

I never used to drink coffee, but over the last couple of years have really begun to. Caffeine does evil stuff to me, though, so I stick with decaf or if I really need a kick half-caff. I'm not much of a coffee snob, but I do try to buy fair trade coffee. I like it strongish because I globber it up with a fair bit of heavy cream and a dobble of sugar and sometimes a bit of cocoa.

I'm really crossing my fingers that I get a percolator in the next couple of months.

[pomegranate]

I don't.

I am an addict of Starbucks Green Tea, but that's another story.

The green tea latte or just the green tea? I seriously love the green tea lattes. They're good hot, cold or as a frapp.

I was even making them at home, but I ran out of melon syrup and the place I was getting it stopped carrying it.

[RaisingThemLeft]

I drink espresso that I make at home. Black.
