I am not a big coffee drinker. I do have a cup in the morning and one after dinner. There are times when I really need a cup in the afternoon to get me through a slump. I usually take it with just milk. There are times when I like it with French vanilla non-dairy creamer.
I like drinking coffee once in a while at home but if I can buy one of those coffees at Java Detour with the whipped topping, yummy, I'll take ten please! :D
My favorite is Gloria Jean's Mocha Chiller. Yuuum. But I like iced coffee--but only the kind with the ice crunched up and stuff. And caramel. And whipped cream. And sprinkles. lol. it's more like candy than coffee, I guess...
Large coffee cup, about 3 tsp sugar and non dairy creamer. I only started drinking coffee in Oct of this year. Odd, for a 48 year old person...don't you think? : - ) needless to say it hits the spot like nothing else and I need to eat something when I drink it or I get a tummy ache.
I hate coffee! I have two stories to tell about my coffee experiences. They are both happy memories, except for the coffee part, lol. First, my senior year of high school, my AP English Lit teacher thought it would be fun if we did a coffee house thing, and we all read our poems while drinking coffee. After getting our orders she bought some from Starbucks, and she even put a stool at the front of the class for the reader to sit on to complete the feel. It was a lot of fun, but I didn't like the coffee. I don't remember what I got, but it had chocolate in it, which didn't help. Then, I had a friend in college who refused to believe that anyone could hate coffee, and assumed I just had a bad batch. He brewed me up some in his dorm, but my tastebuds still weren't happy, the Starbucks one might have been better since it had chocolate in it. Either way, those are my two experiences with coffee, and I have no desire to have any more, lol.

When I was working, it was a morning ritual...huge cup of coffee helped the blood pressure meds go down. Everyone stayed clear until I had my first cup.
I drink way too much coffee, strong and black. I get my organic fair trade beans from Dean's Beans because the coffee is terrific, reasonably priced and they have a very active social mission in the coffee producing countries!
I love coffee. It all started when I was 19 with my first "real" job, overnight in a factory. About 4 a.m., when I thought I was going to fall asleep and go headfirst into the stranding machine or something equally bad, I'd go on break and gurgle down as much coffee as I could in ten minutes. It was hot, bad and very strong, and got me through to the 7 a.m. quitting buzzer. Then I started drinking it at home. In Germany I learned all about espresso and cappuccino long before they were "in" in the states. I like it with sugar and real whole cream, please. And very strong.
for awhile I was drinking it every day, but lately I have been cutting back, and went quite awhile without drinking any at all. But this last week, I have been back to drinking it, altho I am almost out....
Strong coffee with sugar and flavored creamer. And whole beans only, please, not made in a drip maker, either. French press or percolator preferred. Yeah, I'm picky. :-) I gotta have it every day.
I didn't drink coffee on a regular basis until I met my fiancee, a couple years ago. He knows how to make it just right... I'm still not sure of the secret formula! lol Sometimes, he'll add my favorite, Ameretto Cappucino, to give it a special twist. Anyway, I don't ever make the coffee... and can do without, but when he makes it, I sure don't turn it down!
I love coffee and consider myself a coffee snob. I like fresh beans and grind them at home. I love it dark, strong and with a bit of cream. Yummy! I have a cup right now.

I usually fill my cup about 2/3 to 3/4 with coffee, then fill the cup the rest of the way with milk
I gotta have it every day.
