    Default Coffee: How do you take it?

    French pressed or drip, foam or no foam, iced or hot, latte or cappucino, sugar or splenda, cream or milk?

    Large iced no foam add whip caramel macchiato, or simple double espresso?

    How do you take yours?

    Usually (read: when I make it myself) I just go for strong coffee with milk. If I'm getting it from a coffee shop I might get something fancier, but I'm terribly uncultured so I just pick whatever has the fanciest name.

    At home, I just make Folgers coffee from our coffee machine, fill that about between half and 3/4th of my cup, and fill the rest with milk I heated up over the stove, with a few Splendas. I used non-fat milk because that's what I carry in the house. It tastes pretty decent. I've been lazy, but I really need to buy some other coffee. I just drink my parent's stuff, half the time it's already made, but Folgers kind of tastes like butt.

    I love blueberry coffee. My workplace has it and it's just divine. There's some kind of specialty coffee shop nearby that sells that stuff, I should go. I wonder if they have a grinder on the premises, because I don't own one.

    As for when I go out for coffee, it entirely depends on if I'm getting myself a special treat or just regular coffee.

    If it's cold out and I'm getting a special treat from Starbucks, a grande Caramel Macchiato/Pumpkin Spice Latte depending on the season. Yummm.

    My usual is a tall skinny latte or a tall skinny macchiato. The former is only 90 calories. The latter is 120, but tastes better. I mix it up for variety.

    I guess if you haven't gleaned it from the post, I tend to like my coffee weaker and sweeter, though I can drink it strong as well. Sometimes I prefer it that way if I really need a wake-up. I can't drink it really strong and black though. When we had an espresso machine, my Dad would drink really strong black Italian double espressos and I dunno HOW he did it.

    Coffee: my love, my curse. Luckily now that Starbucks does skinny lattes, I can get a low calorie treat without having to say a million words.

    I take my coffee without coffee, and with tea instead.

    I drink instant coffee (lazy) with Splenda I have to drink 2 Ensures a day anyway, so I put vanilla flavored Ensure in it instead of milk. Don't knock it 'til ya try it! I think it tastes better than cow nipple piss, honestly. Go forth and dance my embarrassment, mamu:

    I don't drink coffee, but I imagine I would like it with some milk.

    *spazzes from shorty's descriptions*

    for regular coffee, the best part is dipping graham crackers into it. usually I make mine really weak-- three tablets of equal, three spoons of creamer, one spoon of chocolate.

    I like it really strong with milk (or cream as they like to say in the US of A) and two sugars. I know, I'm pretty boring It's odd, but quite a few people laugh at me for drinking coffee because in England it's really just about tea, which honestly makes me feel a little queasy.
    When we dance, it looks just like Fire.

    When we sing, it sounds the same tone.

    Like many of you, I don't drink coffee. I tried it once, and didn't care for the taste. I do however like coffee-flavored treats.

    I'm a tea drinker, and melon tea is the way to go. With honey, mind you, and not sugar.
