I loved the Christmas time peppermint creamer.. oh hello yummy!!

Ahhh-ha! You reminded me!! I stocked up on as much Coffee Mate GINGERBREAD CREAMER as I could get ... sadly it''s gone now.

I used to only drink coffee if it tasted like melted coffee ice cream

. Comes from my grandparents spoiling me whenever I was at their house. I''ve eased up on that, but still very much prefer half-and-half and at least 2 tsps. of sugar, in American coffee. I''ll also drink the Cuban café (La llave espresso) my FI makes in a little cafteria on the stove-top. He''s got an even sweeter tooth than I do.

Coffee = coming back to life in the morning!!!

I like my coffee with milk. It comes second only to peeing in the AM~!

 

[anchor31]

I drink it with a drop of milk, but I prefer tea. With a drop of milk too.

Oh I can SOOOOO beat you all with our obsessive coffee habit.

But first to answer your question....sugar cubes and half-and-half, or a whole milk latte with sugar.

We get our coffee from a PS-like obessive coffee freak who roasts and ships within 24 hours. After 24 hours, they throw it away. It''s "too old."

We had an INTERVIEW to assess which roast would be the best for us.

Me = "Umm, I''d like to order some coffee..."

Him = "Auto espresso Machine, moka pot, auto drip, or french press?"

Me= "Auto espresso machine."

Him= "Brand?"

Me= "Ummm....I think something like Say-ko?"

Him= "That would be a Saeco (pronouncing it SIGH-AY-CO) Magic Deluxe, right?"

Me= "Uh, yeah...."

Him = "Do you use dairy?"

Me= "Uh, yes....am I in trouble?"

Him="Sugar?"

Me="YES! Am I STILL WORTHY???"

Him="You''ll want Espresso Temescal. DO NOT order the Yemen."

So there. My husband may not do diamonds, but HE DOES COFFEE.

I don't drink coffee more than maybe six times a year.

But a REALLY good (coffee from italy or france. Whole beans, freshly ground) cappuchino or latte with a little bit of real sugar (never tried the Deme-- whatever stuff... prefer raw sugar to white) is hard to turn down on rare occassion. AND I too drink Turkish coffee (my grandmother reads the grounds) but I make it with milk and a little sugar in it as it boils (have the proper little pot for it in my shelves and the ground coffee for it in my freezer). Trick my grandmother learned from a Turkish friend. Otherwise it tastes too much liike coffee flavored mud. YUCK!

Otherwise I drink tea... which I am picky as HELL about. Make my own blends from whole leaf loose tea and while I do drink from tea bags (necessity) if it isn't exactly the right stuff I can't drink it. Hate Orange Pekoe. With a Passion.

Okay just read that and LAUGH OUT LOUD Wallermama. That''s like me and tea.

 

[asscherisme]

Splenda and a tiny bit of half and half.

Coffee is the elixir of life. I like it strong with real cream and no sugar. I like the sound of that place where you get your coffee Wallermama!!!

 

[littlelysser]

I am so envious of folks that don''t drink coffee. I NEED it in the morning. I can''t really function well without it...sigh.

ANYHOODLE...

I take my coffee with whole milk and splenda. Splenda rocks. It really is close to sugar. Sweet ''n Low will do in a pinch. I like my coffee really strong and sweet...so if I used enough sugar to get the right flavor, well, I''d be drinking coffee flavored candy!

Ahhh, sweeet coffee.

Peet''s Major Dickason''s brewed in a French Press with no sugar or cream.

It is insanely good. They are in Oakland, but ship anywhere....you HAVE to read their decriptions of each blend. They are hilarious works of art...
