So...how do you prefer your coffee?

Still orally

Still orally

Care to be more specific? :p

Care to be more specific? :p
Other!

With or without cream and/or sugar. Decaf, regular. I take it all. Whatever I feel like

DEATH TO COFFEE SHOP INTELLECTUALS!

Fuck coffee, tea is the true God!

Stop moving, dammit!

Like legless,
Into the mouth down the throat and into the stomach.
Have tried it other ways, but have found orally is by far the better method!

*Looks at empty coffee cup*
Right off to make some more!

Stop moving, dammit!
Oh yes. I take tea too

Stop moving, dammit!

Verghi!
You're online!
Talk to me! Send me a TG.......I'm going insane! (well more insane that is)

Oh right, yeah....coffee........love it, but not with 'cream', just with milk.

And you rather have tea Verghi? Even with ice cream?

Does cream in this instance = milk?

Oh yes. I take tea too

AHA!
Tea stealing pirates eh?
Where do you take it to Legless?

With milk and one sugar thankyou.

Milk here too

Does cream in this instance = milk?

Cream or Milk...whichever is your preference. :)

Black. If I drink it, that is. Which I rarely do. But I should. Cause I enjoy it when I do. Usually. The quality has to be decent. I like French Roast. But only sometimes. :)

I've found that freshly ground Starbucks Gold Coast blend is the best. With cream and sugar.

Not bitter like most of the Starbucks coffees, and not thin or odd tasting like some of their others. Dark, smooth, and strong.

Tea. And tea only, I find coffee extremely disgusting.
Strong, black, suger, no milk, thank you.

Oh, usually I take me coffee black, if I need stay awake I just take some sugar with a dash of espresso, keep you well and truly awake it does, neh? :D

By the way could someone direct me to the Newbie tread, *scratches head* I have tried finding it but it is a bit confusing being a n00b again.

Being that I work 14 hour night shifts, I've come to worship coffee and no-doz pills.

Cream or Milk...whichever is your preference. :)

Milk, then :)

AHA!
Tea stealing pirates eh?
Where do you take it to Legless?
Cups of hot water

With Irish Cream!! WTF! Where is that option! :)

Just some regular coffee, black of course...

*not having had her first cup yet, she mutters at having to do this again...*

very hot, very strong, intravenously... or in a big ass mug, first thing in the morning... doesn't matter what's in it.

*goes back to kitchen to watch the coffee drip in the pot*

A little BUMP...just to get some more people's opinions.

Blech, I don't drink coffee!

Usually black, but sometimes with Bacardi Select if it's a cold winter night.

I don't drink coffee.

I refuse to drink anything that can be harvested from monkey shit.

Black with two shots of espresso.

I like my coffee like I like men...not at all...

...and yet you're called 'Cafetopia'. Hmm...

So...how do you prefer your coffee?
I have an espresso machine. I grind my own beans. I've been known to get my sumatra/kenyan blend custom roasted.

I drink a doppio con panna (+ irish whisky... an Italian Irish Coffee?) before retiring.

If I didn't drink at least 32oz of resturaunt blend at the office, I wasn't there.

I was known at the Spokane coffee establishments for ordering double-quads. :eek:

I used to be a barrista. :cool:

Any questions?

*snip* Any questions?

None.

On a completely unrelated note...I noticed Decaf is extremely unpopular... :p

I like my coffee the same way I like my women...cold and bitter.

None.

Black for me. Caffeine is a major reason why I drink coffee, what's the point without it?

Coffee is for the weak.

black with sweet and low -- no cream or milk

I like my coffee the same way I like my women...cold and bitter.
I like the TShirt Hell version:

I like my women like I like my coffee...

...ground up and in the freezer. :p

Normal filter coffee...with milk...and 2 sugars. So none of the above ;)

Irish Coffee! mmmm lovely! :D

I can't believe that more people prefer to drink their coffee black. That's just bizarre to me. I'm wondering what I should do for these people if I invite them over to my house for hot chocolate. I'm thinking I need to keep Hershey's unsweetened cocoa on hand, to which I would simply add boiling water. I mean, if you prefer your coffee this way (i.e., bitter), why not your hot chocolate as well? If all I'm looking for is the caffeine, I'll just take a No-Doze pill, thank you very much. But if I choose to drink a cup of coffee instead, it must be sweet and it must be creamy!!! Otherwise, I'm not going to bother with it. Same goes for tea, which I prefer over coffee any day of the week, by the way.

It must be strong, creamy and sweet! In a big bowl!

Jamaican Blue Mountain Roast with actual cream, and a spoonful of sugar in the raw, is the best cup of coffee on this globe.

I'll have to give this a try. So where do you buy Jamaican Blue Mountain Roast, anyway?

I don't know what it is in America, but I know cream to be the thick sweet stuff that you put on apple pies? I put milk in my coffee, one sugar. Regular of course, I hate decaf.

Most decent coffee shops (no not a starbucks) will sell it.
Its fairly expsensive though.

Hawaiian Kona blends are very good too.

well theres Heavy Whipping Cream, wich would probably be too thick I'd think.
But usually I use "Half and Half."

You pour cream on apple pies??? I don't really like apple pie myself, but I've never seen it eaten this way. But yeah, cream is much thicker than milk and comes either sweetened or unsweetened. I definitely prefer cream in my coffee - it would take a ton of milk to lighten coffee enough for my taste.

Whipped cream goes on pumpkin pie.. iced cream goes on apple pie.. nothing goes in coffee, as least I don't think so. :)

Ever taken coffee and put it in a blender with vanilla ice cream?

Caffeinated goodness.

So why do you like your coffee black? I mean, do you actually like the taste of bitter coffee? Or was that the way you started drinking it when you were young because you thought it made you look cool or more grown-up - kind of the same reason kids start smoking cigarettes, even though they taste like crap? Just curious...because black coffee tastes like crap to me.

milk and 5 sugars :eek:

I just enjoy the taste, bitter or no. I rarely do drink coffee in any case, but when I do, I like the semi-acidic/kinda bitter aftertaste it leaves. I never drank it as a kid, and no one in my family really ever did, at home at least.

Strong French, Italian, Jamaican, Hawaiian roasts? Black.
"Morning Blend" and lighter roasts? Very light and very sweet.

So far, no one likes decaf. Hmmm...sometimes I'll take decaf after dinner at a restaurant. But in the morning, it's got to be leaded.

If it's good coffee, black, brewed fairly strong, but not overpowering. If it's crap coffee, (I worked in a nice coffee bar, where we were entitled to drink what we liked, so most coffee now seems to be crap), brew it motor oil thick and pour on the cream and sugar.

I mean, do you actually like the taste of bitter coffee?

Good coffee isn't bitter. It's coffee that is poorly roasted, poorly brewed or burnt that tastes bitter. Well-roasted, well-brewed, strong coffee is meant to be consumed black. Cream and sugar are good for covering up the taste of coffee, hence why I use it for the light and tasteless stuff most places pass of as coffee.

THANK YOU for posting my rant.

All you Euros go out and find a good Italian Espresso bar and ask for a Doppio.

If it is bitter (and/or has a lousy crema), throw it at the barista, swear at him/her in Italian and walk out. :eek:

I don't think you will have to though... :D

Expresso.

i love coffee but can't drink it coz it gives me migraines!! It's not fair!!!

Does the same go for cocoa? I mean, would you ever just stir unsweetened cocoa into pour boiling water and even pretend that it tastes good, or is this just something people do with coffee for some bizarre reason that is completely beyond me?

THANK YOU for posting my rant.

I love the way we can turn any conversation into a debate. :D

Dash of milk, 1 sugar. Never from Starbucks, that place is shit!
Tea...more milk and an extra sugar, but prefer coffee! :D

Usually Iced Mocha, heavy on the espresso, light on the mocha. Or speedballs (espresso shots in a good black coffee, dash of equal maybe), or espresso.

Also a fav... dark chocolate covered coffee beans! I could eat bags of those! (And then bounce off the walls for a day! :p :D )

I second that!!!

I had a blend they called "Kodiak" a couple of years ago, but havent seen it since. It was fairly bitter, like the pierced punk that served it. But I grew to like them both.

I mean, would you ever just stir unsweetened cocoa into pour boiling water and even pretend that it tastes good, or is this just something people do with coffee for some bizarre reason that is completely beyond me?

Um, no. But I wouldn't put cocoa in water for any reason.

Cocoa and coffee are beans. They have different flavors. People drink black unsweetened tea, a flavor far more comparable to coffee than cocoa.

Really, I support your right to put whatever you want in your coffee, but your complete inability to understand that other people have different tastes and something that doesn't taste good to you might actually taste good to them, only makes you sound pedestrian, unsophisticated and silly.

Do you also douse your Kobe beef rib-eye in ketchup?

Crisp.

I like my Coffee Crisp.

I can't BELIEVE nobody has said this yet. Or are Coffee Crisps not sold outside of Canada?

Or am I just unbelievably lame?

Hell yeah. I prefer Kona Coffee, highly caffeinated, since I am an often sleepless college student... ahhhh coffee... the elixir of life... :p

*sighs happily*

I snort it.
