How do you like your coffee

[goin' fer smoke]

How do you enjoy your coffee:

Non-dairy creamer

Half & Half

Cream & Sugar

Sugar

Just Black

[oneaday]

Black and strong.

[Boppa-Wasch]

Black and full flavor. why dilute?:dunno:

[michaelbrehm]

Black and strong.

I second that.

[calebnobbe2003]

Cream & Sugar

[Black Dog]

Black as the devil, Hot as hell,
Pure as an angel, Sweet as love.

(actually I use half&half in my morning coffee, I just love that quote)

[Black Dog]

Off topic but here's another quote I like (slightly edited, LOL)

Caffeine is my shepherd; I shall not doze.
It maketh me to wake in green pastures:
It leadeth me beyond the sleeping masses.
It restoreth my buzz:
It leadeth me in the paths of consciousness for its name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of addiction,
I will fear no Equal™:
For thou art with me; thy cream and thy sugar they comfort me.
Thou preparest a carafe before me in the presence of The Black Dog:
Thou anointest my day with pep; my mug runneth over.
Surely richness and taste shall follow me all the days of my life:
And I will dwell in the House of Mochas forever.

I dont know about that one Brian!

[AZsteelman]

this is not an easy answer for me anymore. Some coffees for me need a little sweetener and some are great as they are...I used to like my coffee like my women, Hot - white - Sweet! Now, it's not that simple of an answer...I have to abstain since there isn't a multiple choice on this poll.

[djs134]

....like my women, tied up in a burlap sack and slung over the back of a donkey.....

[Dogwatch Dale]

I had to check the Sugar box cause i guess that's my normal MO, but as with cigars, sometimes ya just want something different.

[djs134]

Sorry, I had to....lol

I've taken mine black exclusively now for 2 years. Homeroasting makes you appreciate the flavor more AND I'm interested in how my roasts turn out...

[Electric Sheep]

Straight up black, no fluff.

[Headbanger]

I prefer regular sugar with 1/2 and 1/2. I never add the powder creamer stuff, would prefer black over that and the fake sugars, bleek!

[aholsber]

I'm with Randy on this one,

Hot, Light and Sweet!

<ok, not too sweet!>

DJS,

I'd like to hear more about your homeroasting set up.

If I make the coffee (my beans and my machine) then it's naturally sweet enough not to require anything and I hate to add milk/sugar/whatever.

If I'm forced to drink "office coffee" then I usually add a little milk to make a "coffee drink," instead of regular coffee.

If it's espresso, I do enjoy some steamed milk on occasion.

[djs134]

Alan, I use a Convection Oven/Stir Crazy (CO/SC) setup with a variac transformer. Built it about 2 years ago and its worked great. The batch size range is between 8 oz to 1 lb with 12 oz being the optimum for evenness of the roast.

[caudio51]

Usually a splash of milk and a dash of sugar.

I heard that cream does open up some coffees flavor?

I've been toying with setting up a rotisserie and roasting 'em. Where do you get your bean? And how do you store it before roasting?

[RX2010]

to me, coffee is like a steak. If it's good, leave it alone. If it sucks, doctor it up

[Fresh50]

...Like I like my women, ground up and in the freezer.

[RX2010]

umm....


lol

[caudio51]

These puns are great :rofl:

[cigarfiend1]

I like mine black and strong

[Wasch_24]

I like mine with a little splash of whiskey. :rofl:


A splash of half and half and a little sweet n' low. :tumbsup:

[tobby4]

Black and strong..

[jmatkins]

I tried cream and sugar once when I was in high school, and I quickly went to just black. Unless I have a ice coffee in the summer then just a little sweatner.

[joshua]

black n sweet

[jwintosh]

black! unless it's too hot,,, then i put a touch of half n half.

[texas_stang]

black, why ruin a good cup of coffee by adding anything. unless its maybe a icecube or 2 if its to hot.

[Wasch_24]

IMO it is not ruining it...I like it with cream and swettener. :thumbsup:

[ATCDub]

I try them in just about any fashion. Black, w/cream, w/cream and sugar, sometimes with cinnamon and/or nutmeg. Sometimes with a healthy shot of whiskey. It's my coffee, I'll drink however I feel at the time and I usually enjoy it completely.

[geckoheart]

Typically with 1/2 pack of Splenda or black.

now this is a statement I can support...thanks for putting my feelings into words.

[CelticBasque]

Morning: Half&Half with a little bit of Sugar in the Raw
Non-Morning: Black & Beautiful or with some Steamed Milk
Cold Morning: Irish
Hot Morning: Iced
Are there any other specific mornings to cover???

[derek]

Black and strong, and depending on which day it is maybe a little liquor

[cvm4]

I use Coffeemate and accidently hit creamer & sugar! Doh!

[cvm4]

IMO it is not ruining it...I like it with cream and swettener. :thumbsup:

Hmmm...I always use sugar when the coffee is just nasty and I still need that caffine buzz.

[Donk]

Black and full flavor. why dilute?:dunno:

Right on. But strong as hell too

[calebnobbe2003]

IMO it is not ruining it...I like it with cream and swettener. :thumbsup:

I am with you Todd!!

[caudio51]

I like my iced coffee on the strong side. The ice dilutes it by the time you get to the end

[cvm4]

That's true, coffee for thought.

[caudio51]

Unless you make ice cubes out of coffee :thumbsup:

[cvm4]

I heard novasurf talk about that one time. I rarely have leftover coffee to try this simply because my coffee maker is a piddly little 4-cup one.

[Terrasco]

Rarely use creamer but when I do I use half and half and sweetener. 97% of the time I drink it black.

[caudio51]

Well you actually make a pot to make the icecubes

[Boppa-Wasch]

Maybe a little Kahlua for flavor.

[geckoheart]

Maybe a little Kahlua for flavor.

A few years back, on Sunday nights, after everyone had gone to bed, I would go to the porch with a cigar and a cup of coffee with a shot of Kahlua and a shot of brandy.

Now, I leave out the coffee, kahlua, and brandy and take a glass, a few ice cubes, and either scotch, bourbon, tequila, or rum.:glassesgr

[tobby4]

I drink quite a bit of Baileys Kahlua and Coffee

or Baileys Jameson and Coffee....

nothing like getting to work and pouring one of these to make it through the shift

[caudio51]

I wish I would drink more coffee like that...I just never think of it

[ATCDub]

I changed my mind. I like my coffee with a blond.

[Black Dog]

I changed my mind. I like my coffee with a blond.
And Mary is a very nice blonde to have your coffee with!

[cvm4]

I wish I would drink more coffee like that...I just never think of it

Anytime I think about it, I'm either broke or the liquor store is closed.

[Rank_Tyro]

I like my coffee just like my women.....HOT and BITTER!

:)

[CWS]

I like my coffee here sitting on the balcony watching and listening to the surf. Smoking an 03 partagas...Damn life is good.

[Boppa-Wasch]

Fresh!

[caudio51]

Yea, something you have to have on hand

Yea, that sounds pretty good

[Greg]

Just brewed a pot of Black Dog and poured a steaming cupful into a mug with Carolans, which is a cheaper version of Bailey's, but just as good.

Warms you up real proper-like.

[Mickeyray5]

You must know my ex...

[oneaday]

:laugh: :stretchgr :laugh:

[rpb67]

Coffee - Cream with no sugar

Expresso - just the way it is

[Volusianator]

International French Vanilla creamer.

[CWS]

Fresh ground beans, black and very strong

[RigilKent]

same here chuck

[cvm4]

With coffeemate

[GoneDave]

Just like I like my women, Hot and full of booze:thinkidea

[TexaSmoke]

Sugar & Cream for me.

[Black Dog]

I like to have my coffee with her3168

[CWS]

Atta boy Brian!!!!!!

[DSturg369]

I voted "non-dairy creamer" but I use a touch of CoffeeMate French Vanilla flavored. It's a little sweet and lightens up the strong stuff a bit.

[GoneDave]

Just like I like my ladies..
Hot , and full of booze!!:frownno:

[Dougful]

I like my coffee black, so I can taste it. Just like I don't like flavored cigars which are dipped in sugar.

[smokehouse]

Black out of a French Press is the only way for me.

[eodcole]

Black out of a French Press is the only way for me.

Same here brother I have a press and drip coffee just doesn't do it for me anymore. I probably don't even make good press coffee yet. I'm still learning the inns and outs. Plus I just recently got a burr grinder and some yum coffee from blackdog, so new stuff to get used to.
