Do you drink black coffee ?

[steve2470]

No thanks! I take mine adulterated with sucrose and ½ & ½

[Aristus]

1. When I say 'black', I mean without cream.

I take sugar with it, but never cream. When I was in the Army, drinking black coffee was the thing. It you take it without cream, no one can tell if you sweetened it...

[Dont call me Shirley]

2. Black. Organic Super Dark. Yummy.

[In_The_Wind]

3. Only when I run out of 1/2 & 1/2 or coffee-mate.

[Blue_Tires]

10. +1

[KMOD]

16. + 2

[Solomon]

4. Yep. I drink mine without

Cream or sugar. Just straight up for me.

[Ron Obvious]

5. Yes

I went to a Starbuck's the other day and the barista asked me how I wanted my coffee.

"Black", I said.

"Say, speaking of black, what do you think of the state of race relationships in this country", he replied.

Actually... no, I just remembered I don't even drink coffee. That was a dream I had.

[steve2470]

8. Starbucks, coffee + 1000% profit

Granted, their specialty lattes etc are awesome if you don't want to do it at home!

[hobbit709]

42. And not even all that good of a coffee

[pipi_k]

6. Ewwwwww!!!!

No way!

Three sugars. Enough cow juice to make it a medium tan color.



Actually, I found that coffee really smells better than it tastes. I like coffee, don't get me wrong. But the smell is intoxicating

[steve2470]

7. I agree re: smell vs. taste! nt

[fizzgig]

9. sweet and light for me

honey and half and half is preferable, sugar is acceptable, sugar and milk is for emergencies.

[Populist_Prole]

11. Only if there's no other alternative

First choice: Sugar and cream ( prefer Coffeemate )

Second choice, if no sugar available: Cream

Last resort: Black.

Black with sugar but no cream is beyond disgusting.

[alphafemale]

12. I drink it black no sugar when I drink it.

But I do not drink it very often.

[pinboy3niner]

13. Did someone mention coffee?

[struggle4progress]

14. I usually don't drink milk straight-up but put some coffee in it

[CaliforniaPeggy]

15. Yes, I do, my dear steve2470!

I've been drinking it black forever.

[steve2470]

17. a diverse world we live in, CaliforniaPeggy :)

Hope you are well and getting some rain!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

18. Diversity means things aren't boring!

I am well, thanks, but no rain for the foreseeable future.

[steve2470]

19. are people any less worried about the drought ?

I was hopeful that this winter would break it.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

20. I haven't talked to my neighbors about it.

It's well known that even one rainy season wouldn't do the trick. It will take several years of heavy wet snow in the mountains for the drought to be broken. That looks less and less likely.

The State government seems to be taking the situation more seriously now, with new regulations. Time will tell.

[steve2470]

21. ok good luck to you and your neighbors!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

22. Thanks, Steve! I appreciate your good thoughts!

[malthaussen]

23. If it isn't black, it isn't coffee.

It's some blend of stuff.

Generally, I prefer most things plain -- single malt, e.g., steak without adulturating sauce. I have pretty minimalist tastes.

Great exchange from NCIS 1st season: Cait to Gibbs: "What do you put in your coffee?" Gibbs: "Coffee."

-- Mal

[Xyzse]

24. I can. Depending on the coffee, I might actually prefer it that way.

[surrealAmerican]

25. Every day.

I like coffee. A good dark roast is perfect all by itself.

[steve2470]

26. No offense to black coffee drinkers.....

someone would have to hold a loaded gun to my temple to get me to drink
black coffee! Likewise for all of you with my warlock's brew, probably!

Isn't diversity GRAND ? Life does not get boring.

[valerief]

27. Can't. I love to, though. All the film noir tough guys drink theirs black.

I sissy out with half and half.

[Sherman A1]

28. With some

sweetener and a touch of vanilla.

[Laffy Kat]

29. My hubby refered to my morning coffee as "hummingbird juice".

Although I have cut down on the sweetness. Now I use vanilla coffee creamer instead
.

[magical thyme]

30. only when I'm rafting

down the Colorado. In the grand canyon. Which I did exactly once.

[lastlib]

31. if your coffee can't beat you at arm-wrestling, it isn't fit to drink.

If it can't climb out of the cup on its own, it isn't strong enough!

If my cup isn't screaming in pain, it isn't hot/strong enough!

Of COURSE I drink it black! Anything else isn't coffee.

Nurse once asked me my blood type. Told her I wasn't sure but I thought it was Premium Dark Roast/positive.

In the morning, I can be hard to deal with until I get the blood out of my caffeine stream.

[Ryano42]

32. It's going to anger a lot of people in GD...but

I prefer my coffee OVER the roll.

[DeSwiss]

33. Black and 1 squirt.

and 1 -

[Skittles]

34. no

I like to add cream, which also has the required amount of sugar for me

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

35. I prefer sugar and heavy cream, stirred not shaken

Half & half, coffee-mate, etc are acceptable when real cream isn't available but I maintain a supply of heavy cream at home. For anyone who may be interested, powdered heavy cream is available but pricey.

Coffee cures many ills and even improves a rainy day.

[roody]

36. Only if I am out of milk

[olddots]

37. black if its good coffe

adulterated if its dreck

[Major Nikon]

38. Most American coffee tastes like dishwater

The addition of sweeteners and dairy products can only improve it.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

39. Does adding a shot or two of espresso still count as black?

Venti red eye.

Do you want the extra shot? Why yes, I wasn't planning on sleeping tonight.

I have been offered the extra shot in a long time. I think the machines are different now.

[mackerel]

40. A little cream thank you

[hobbit709]

41. Just a spoonful of milk. But if there's no real milk, then black.

no sugar and especially no artificial anything and NO flavorings.

[KMOD]

43. black coffee in bed

[DamnYankeeInHouston]

44. Black and strong enough to chew.

And good coffee is good at any temperature. Ice coffee seems to freak out the ice tea drinking southerners surrounding me.

[steve2470]

45. I like iced coffee too, with milk and sugar! nt

[irisblue]

50. NOLA coffee shops makes the BEST cold brew coffee

(and I like your user name )

[DamnYankeeInHouston]

52. Thank you.

[Wounded Bear]

46. In the words of the immortal Leroy Jethro Gibbs...

that ain't coffee.

I prefer it black, thank you very much.

According to Heinlein, there are five grades of coffee: coffee, java, J, mud, and battery acid. I can handle mostly anything up to and including mud, but beyond that I need to add crap to it.

[pinboy3niner]

47. I put Red Bull in my coffee...

[steve2470]

48. ha!

great pic!

[OriginalGeek]

49. a little under 1 quart a day

I get up and on my way out the door to work I fill a plastic cup with black coffee and I'm usually finished with it around lunch time. No more caffeine for me after that. I don't care when it gets cold as that just makes it easier to gulp although I do enjoy the hot sips early on.

I used to put a ton of sugar and milk in but the doc said to cut that shit out. I've found not putting sugar in has heightened my taste buds (Found or imagined - either way stuff tastes different in my head). I think I got phantom sugars on my tongue - I gave up sugar in my tea at the same time as coffee and I swear I still taste sweetness in there.

Every once in a while I'll accidentally grab my wife's tea and she drinks it southern sweet so that is quite a shock.

[cwydro]

51. Black.

Darkest blend and strong as hell.

[IrishEyes]

53. Never

If I'm going to have coffee I want milk, sugar, whipped cream, caramel, chocolate chips, etc and a little bit of coffee. just enough to get the caffeine without having to taste the coffee.
