black, except for a very rare & occasional splurge in the right restaurants that have the "right" vanilla ice cream in which case the coffee is more ice cream than coffee ... and very good getting there.

I bought a French Press today and I used a wire foamer to make cappuccino. A little sugar and cinnamon. I'm really pleased as to how well it works. Makes the coffee maker brew seem like crap.

I like my coffee like I like my women, ground up and in the freezer.....wait, something seems off about that.

:p

I like a coarse grind dark roast that is prepared in a french press. A few spoonfuls of sugar and steamed milk is what makes it heavenly.

Black. Splenda is the work of the devil. Café au lait is good sometimes too.

Splenda is indeed the work of the devil, but not for spoiling coffee. Whenever my better half decides to put splenda in ANYTHING, I get gas comparable to what happens when I chow down on a box of Fiber One bars. I can only blame that on my students for so long. Fart fart lolz.

A little sugar (about what a utensil teaspoon can hold without mounding it) and a little cream or milk.

I will drink it black + sugar if I don't have any milk.

Splenda upsets my stomach and gives me a headache. They need warning labels on that junk.

at home:
Fresh ground with a splash of milk. Mostly just to take the hot off.


at work:
2 things of Splenda and a large dose of "non-dairy creamer", then a splash of water to take the hot off.

I hate drinking coffee at work. Its like they ground up bits of cardboard and flavored it with tree bark.

Invest in a vacuum thermos. I always carry my own coffee. I may have to resort to foreign coffee when it runs out, but at least things start good :^)

Btw, stay away from Stanley bottles. They're the "standard" for some reason, but they suck. Every one I've had, or known other people to have doesn't keep stuff hot. Thermos brand, and Nissan are both good.
