Cream and or sugar?

[HotToddy]

I’ve recently started to drink my coffee black giving up cream.
In lurking in The Café my interest in coffee has gotten deeper. I will be investing in a percolator and seeking out better coffees to try.

But I thought it would be interesting to see how we all drink our coffee.

So what say you?

Black
Creamer only
Sugar only
Cream and sugar

Cheers,
Todd

Invest in an aeropress... Especially if ur a one cup at a time kinda guy. I drink coffee with sugar and 5%

Cream and Sugar--Heavy on both.

Black, strong, hot, and cheap. I'm probably going to be burned at the stake for this, but my favorite is still Folgers Black Silk in my Bunn drip maker. Cheap coffee, decent machine. Gets the strength about right (If held up to a light in a glass highball, you cannot see light through it). Good stuff. Everyone who's tried it thinks it's too strong (SWMBO calls it "Coffin Varnish"), but I still drink a full pot every day. Hence why I buy cheap coffee.

That is how I like my women. Not my coffee.

What about real cream?

 

[ByMyBeard]

Strong and black. Coffee should reach outta the mug and slap me across the face in the morning.

A man after my own heart.

Either black or with butter and coconut oil blended in.

Have you tried it with coconut milk? It makes an outstanding addition to coffee.

 

[August West]

Are we still talking about coffee?

 

[Commander Quan]

Just coconut milk? Or with the butter, or oil?



Unless you've tried it you wouldn't understand, and even then you may not.

I voted for cream and sugar, but like the answer to most yes/no questions, that's not really accurate or helpful. The real answer is that it depends on how good the coffee is. If I get a cup of really spectacular coffee (like what you can get in even the cheapest dives in Europe), I drink it black. If it's excellent but not quite spectacular, I add cream only. If it's decent, like Starbuck's dark roast, I add cream and raw sugar. If it's below that level of quality, I take a pass and drink some other beverage. Life is too short to drink bad coffee.

MILK only, never cream or sugar..

If the coffee is ok to good, or better, I take it black.

If the coffee is less than ok, I take it regular, cream and sugar. It is a heavy price to pay for a caffeine fix.

Just the coconut milk.

Straight espresso (single or double shot: black OR sometimes with sugar
Americonos: Whole milk (warmed in the microwave not steam frothed).
Pour over: Whole milk. Sometimes I will drink the first one black to evaluate the roast and brew, then milk for the rest
Auto drip: Whole milk (always)
Siphon: Whole milk (always)
French press: Whole milk (always)

I used to drink my coffee black but now it is just to taste the subtle flavors of the bean, then grab the milk to make a smooth cup of coffee
Moka Pot: Whole milk and sugar

I still use Folgers as my base coffee (50%) then add 25% dark roast and 25% of a nice single origin bean (grocery store bean). I have been doing that for as long as I have been drinking coffee and using a Bunn brewer. A Bunn brewer will make good tasting coffee out of dirt and play sand.
