mmmmm coffee

[KristinCB]

how do you like yours?

oh and favourite creamer?

i swear its my fav part of the morning.. haha

[lovely1m]

I drink it with a bit of creamer, not the dry stuff though. I normally get vanilla, but I like some of the funky ones too. Lately I have been obsessed with Starbucks Skinny Peppermint Mochas though.

[Milmomma]

I like any ol' coffee as long as it comes with 3 sugars and a couple shots of creamer and comes 7 days a week. The older I get the stronger my coffee gets too. I gave up on brands and flavors and go with whatever sounds good that week or is on sale.

[adrianka]

Black, with no sugar. I don't say no to a good cappcucino, though.

It's my favourite time of the morning as well. :-)

[Stacey42]

I love coffee & have it every morning.

I drink decaf because of my insomnia & restless leg syndrome. I prefer dark roast but that can be tricky to find in decaf. I make it in a French press because I like it strong. I like it with milk, 2 spoons of sugar & a splash of flavored creamer, my favorite is the chocolate caramel flavor International Delight makes.

[elseepe]

During the week, it is black for me -- and only in the morning. But I need my coffee in the mornings! On weekends I have cappuccino made with 1% milk and a spoon of sugar

[Misty Cato]

Starbucks Caffe Verona, just a touch of milk, no sugar. Everyday.

[Lyd]

I don't drink coffee, and I swear half of this thread makes absolutely no sense to me . . . greek. Lol.

[Libby Pritchett]

haaaaaaaaaaa! Lydia!

I ♥ coffee. A lot. I make a pot every night (don't drink it in the morning, oddly enough). It's like my dessert treat when I start working after Chloe goes to bed.

I drink it just about any way... black. with skim milk. with sweetener. flavored creamer. I like it all.

Currently, I've been addicted to adding 1 scoop of Hills Bros French Vanilla Cappuccino mix and about 1/4 cup of milk to my big mug of coffee. ♥ It makes it just a LITTLE sweet.

Oh, and I prefer Millstone decaf french vanilla whole bean coffee. Cause I'm spoiled like that.

[Shawna]

I got a Keurig for Christmas, my favorite is iced coffee so I have that most of the time but I also like the light flavored coffees (no dark roast for me yuck). I always add flavored creamer too, my favorites that I've tried so far are french vanilla, chocolate caramel, white chocolate mocha and heath bar.

[Libby Pritchett]

Mmmmmm I think I need to go pay a visit to Shawna. Heath Bar... YUM!

[missmarcy]

I *heart* coffee!!
If we are going out to eat and I order it, I use creamer and sweet N low. At home I use flavored creamers - liquid kind - usually french vanilla or hazelnut. If I could get my coffee to taste the same as the store coffee with creamer and sweet n low I'd much rather do that, but haven't seem to master it yet. The calories in those sweetened creamers are what I am blaming for not counting calories Always joke with my husband if I started counting calories I'd be forced to choose between coffee and lunch/dinner - and coffee would no doubt be the winner, haha!

[Tracyfish]

Any of the flavored Keurig cups with a packet of Splenda and a little flavored creamer (usually Fat Free Vanilla if I'm being good).

I only have one cup in the morning unless it's cold outside...which is pretty much never this winter.

[MamaBee]

I love coffee a bit too much!! Hahaha... Instead of flowers, hubby is trained to bring me home a pumpkin spiced, peppermint, or caramel latte... either starbucks, copperrock (local joint), or in a pinch McDonalds.

What how do I like my coffee? Depends where I am at...

At home... I make coffee every morning before we start school.. usually it's with a splash of liquid creamer - not fussy on creamer, but I usually stock up after Christmas on those flavors when they put them on clearance... haha In the summer I switch to iced coffee with those flavored syrups... again not fussy, but I do like vanilla or chocolate...

At church... black

At restaurant... just one creamer and ice (but not enough ice to make it cold)

When I have a migraine... I swear by the iced coffee, sugar free vanilla at McDonald's... must be right combo of caffeine to sugar for me to break a migraine... boy, I could have saved a lot of $$$$ going to ER and prescription drugs if only had that iced coffee from day one! hahaha

[SeattleSheri]

I'm a huge coffee drinker, right now I'm sipping on a pumpkin spice latte. I have a fairly nice espresso maker, so use that on the weekends. During the week, I usually stop by a coffee shop on my way into work and get grande non fat no foam latte. We have commercial grade Starbucks machines that grind as you go, at work, so I get a medium blend 1/2 caff with regular creamer mid-morning. I've never been a fan of flavored creamers, since I don't like my coffee sweetened.

[DawnMarch]

That was my drink for YEARS! I still love it but when I went on a low carb diet a few months ago, I cut out some dairy so I trained myself to drink regular brewed coffee. I do add a little half and half and now I really like it that way. I'm trying to learn to drink coffee black but not quite there yet!

[Traci Reed]

I'm not picky on brand of coffee because I creamer the hell out of it. My fav right now is International Delight Chocolate Caramel.

But, if I'm honest, I'll take a peppermint frapp for every meal please.

[adrianka]

Now I'm thinking about it, I don't sweeten coffee much, but simple black coffee sweetened with honey is really nice. It sounds weird, but I like the taste. :-)

[scrapperjade]

I like my coffee with real cream... no sugar and none of that creamer stuff, lol!

[Lizzy257]

Yup, this is me too!!

[terrab]

Usually a large cup of Starbucks coffee with a lot of skim milk... probably 1/3 of the cup. But my on the go coffee is usually McDonalds coffee. It has to be real milk/cream though... not a fan of flavored coffee or creamers at all.

[Sherri Tierney]

I can't stand coffee (with one exception). I can't stand the taste or the smell of it. It makes me gag. No amount of creamer or sugar or any other type of ingredient can make it okay for me. I can taste even a minute amount of coffee mixed in with something. Yuck!

My exception - Starbucks Refreshers. They are made with green coffee extract and I really like them.

[d2vasquez]

Oh I love my morning coffee - decaf with cinnamon spice creamer! I feel like it just starts my day just right and when I forget to make it - boy does my day seem more hectic!

We have a Keurig too and at night, the girls and I sip on coffees or teas.....yum!

[jessica31876]

Barnie's Santa's White Christmas freezers....soooooo good!!

[joelsgirl]

When we lived in Malaysia, I LOVED Coffee Bean's "ice blended mocha", so when we moved here, and I had to settle for Starbucks, I accidentally ordered an ICED mocha {ya know, instead of a frappuccino}...and discovered that I LOVE iced coffee!

It's so refreshing in the afternoon, but I can't bring myself to drink cold coffee in the morning. Since I'm breastfeeding, I'm trying to skip my morning coffee and then drink a big iced mocha in the afternoons. I use this recipe but sometimes I substitute ice cream for the milk and blend it up and OMGOSH I think I'm putting all that baby weight back on but it is SO WORTH IT.

[hollyxann]

I didn't like coffee until recently....like a few months ago...but now I can't live without it.

I'm not too picky about what kind I drink, as long as I have a flavored creamer. My favorite is the Coldstone Sweet Cream creamer by International Delights.

We buy whole bean and just grind it here at home as needed since we have a Keurig. Our favorite right now is from our Acme store, it's a local coffee brand, and they make this flavored whole bean that's called Ohio's Chocolately Surprise....OMG is it good!!!!! Not too sweet, not too flavored but just enough. The smell is to die for!!!


I do like some Chai tea though...mmmmmm

[MissKim]

Iced Tea. Every morning. I cannot drink hot drinks (I know I'm strange) so I keep a pitcher of iced tea in the fridge and pour myself a big glass every morning so I can get my caffeine.

My teens drink coffee, though. We have a Keurig and recently figured out we were spending over $100/month on K-cups. So we went and bought a regular coffee maker and they make a pot every morning. They like dark roast, drink it black. So strange that after 20+ years of marriage we just bought a coffee maker... and it's for our kids.

[carrie1977]

York Peppermint Pattie creamer is my current fave...yummmmmmm

[julifish]

I have two favorites

New England Coffee Blueberry Coffee in a very large much with splenda - no cream.

Freshly ground half regular, half decaf (we buy our beans at Costco and the coffee machine grinds them and then brews) with splenda and peppermint mocha creamer. MMMMM

[kristalund]

i too look forward to my hot cup of coffee. i like it with FF Coffeemate French Vanilla Creamer or Hazelnut. I also like to splurge at Starbucks and pick up a Decaf Pumpkin Spice Latte or Gingerbread Latte- yum!

[DawnMarch]

Wow! I can't believe all the creamer fans out there! I just don't get that stuff.

[creativchaos]

We love coffee in my house. My husband and I are serious coffee drinkers, generally making a pot a few times a day when he is home. I can't function without morning coffee, at least! We used to be die-hard starbucks drinkers and would get it from the grocery store to brew at home..but once it hit almost $9 a bag, we switched to Folgers Gourmet (Morning Cafe blend) and it is pretty delicous! Now it is a REAL treat when we splurge for Starbucks, either for home or while we are out, haha. I like mine with a bit of milk and two spoons of sugar! Our kids love coffee too (tsk tsk) and my oldest often asks for some in the mornings with me! haha! She only gets about half coffee and the rest milk, so it's not ALL bad is it? lol

[Beebo]

I usually drink about 2 cups in the morning. I use 2% milk in mine. No sugar or sweetener for me unless we are out of milk then I will use creamer in mine. Love the almond joy and pumpkin spice though.
