Black?

[Jmurman]

black with a packet of splenda, or sugar

Interesting to find this thread at the top of the list. I was coming to post this exact same question!

Half & half for me, no sugar. Condensed milk if we're out of H & H.

90% black, not by choice but one day I added up the cream and sugar I was taking in a day and voila! Figured out why I was putting on the pounds. Still being into competitive athletics I started going black. I drink way too much coffee in a day to be taking the cream and sugar with.

Whenever I want to enjoy it though I like a nice strong chewey coffee with some sweet and creamy

Depending on the coffee, the day, the time of day and my mood I frequent all options offered and many more not shown............ Ristretto, Turkish, lungo, fourb, Shot-in-Dark .....

I voted sweet, but can go black. I have one teaspoon of sugar for a large coffee.

At work, I drink it with a touch of cream.

On a cold evening....I like it with a bit of Bailey's Irish Cream. Goes good with my evening stick of choice.

"Restaurant" coffee, I take black.
At home, I make it pretty strong and use a little Half & Half or CoffeeMate.

Black if it's good

little bit of cream/sugar if it's not so good

First off, I guess I will have to say that I dislike "hot" coffee. Fairly warm with some steam is ok..but I can't stand how most restaurants/coffee houses serve it piping hot - I can't taste it as well, and I usually end up burning myself (as it never seems to cool). I also love strong black coffee over ice, maybe with some good cream and sugar, but usually black.

whole bean: coarse-grind + french-press, black
pre-ground: whatever really... poured over ice, spiked with alcohol, cream, sugar, or combinations of them all

Although I voted black I must admit that I too enjoyed growing up with my cafe con leche! (Sweet and thinned out with milk makes it for a great morning) Of course cuban bread laced with a layer of butter makes it all the better!

Black all the way. The only time I go C&S is if it is really poor coffee. The corporate office for some reason insists on Sysco pouch garbage. Unless I am dead tired, I just drink diet Coke instead.

I will make an exception for iced coffee - I admit a weakness for Dunkin Donuts iced with lots of C&S...

I'm a cream and a little sugar guy, but I grew up on crappy coffee and don't have good coffee around. If it's a good coffee I can drink it black, but I can't stand black coffee from a drip machine, or black espresso from a Starbuck's or other coffee shop, or even macchiato, cappuccino or latte without sugar from a coffee shop. If it's a fresh-ground, whole-bean, french-pressed coffee, I can do black and like it. But at work where there's just a drip machine full of the Sav-A-Lot store brand, I need cream and sugar, but I can still expect to be on the crapper after every cup. Worst coffee ever.

Usually black. However, if I'm having Vietnamese iced coffee, then it's with condensed milk--caffeine and sugar, now you're turbo charged!

Black for me.
The wife likes hers also black, occasionally with a splash of Kahlua.

Ha ha. Just kidding. I take mine with cream and sugar.

That's funny, I like MY coffee like I like my women, black and full of liquor
