I love coffee. Almost any coffee, really. The only thing I don't really care for is iced coffee. I don't mind of my coffee cools off and I finish it in a cup but I don't like to purchase or make a cup of coffee that is ice cold. I will drink a frappucino though; something about iced coffee though that I just can't get into. I drink coffee every day (at least 2 large cups) with a packet of Truvia and a 1/2 tbsp. of creamer. Sometimes I have another cup or two. If I'm out shopping I'll pick up a latte or sometimes a frappucino, but those are splurges and I don't drink fancy coffee every day. There is a coffee flavored protein powder that I like that I make frappucino's at home with. I add a little caramel syrup or even a little coffee creamer to give it a flavor boost. I haven't had that in quite awhile though; I should order some more! Can you share the brand of protein powder you use?

Love it! Must have it to function well. I drink Dunkin Donuts coffee at home. Just a splash of half and half. I need to taste my coffee, no sugar please.

I started drinking coffee in my mid/late thirties. One day, I walked into my favorite shop and the coffee smelled so good. So I tried a latte and loved it.
I had the worst time getting a handle on making a pot of coffee at home that I liked with consistency. Add to it that my husband and I had different ideas of what is good coffee. I enjoyed Starbucks' caramel macchiato and the same at Caribou when one of those opened up near me. At home I liked flavored creamers but not flavored coffees. I like my coffee strong so I stick to the strong blends like Italian and French roasts.
Then along came the Keurig machine. Finally, a consistent cup of coffee every time! My favorite cup is the Eight O'clock coffee brand's Dark Italian Roast while my husband drinks their original blend. My favorite creamer is Coldstone's Sweet Cream or Southern Butter Pecan, both made by International Delight brand creamers.
I use both the pre-made cups and the refillable, fill your own using the beans of my favorite coffee brands/blends.

No coffee/coffee flavor
No tea
Only soda is Root Beer (no Barqs) MAYBE Dr. Pepper if I really NEED caffeine, but I can't get down a whole can.
I drink water and love a good lemonade. LOVE Chick-fil-A lemonade!

I've never heard that hot tea contributes to Kidney Stones only Iced Tea. We must be the leading tea drinking country of the world and as far as I know we don't have above average sufferers of kidney stones. I have previously suffered from kidney stones, which is why I limit my intake now. I don't do it just for kicks, once you've had kidney stones in your life it is much easier for them to form again. I also had to change my protein intake. I wasn't questioning you it was just that I hadn't heard of hot tea being a contributing factor. Normally people drink far more iced tea especially in the summer so they have more of a concentrated amount of oxalate in the body to try and process which in turn leads to the stones.And as you say if you have a history of stones the risk is higher.

I like my keurig pot and nantucket coffee. With light cream and splenda. I have 3 cups a day and wonder sometimes if I'm addicted because it makes me so happy.

I LOVE the smell of fresh coffee, but cannot stand the taste.
I drink entirely too much Coca Cola. Like I need to be in a twelve step program for it.
As far as a hot drink, I have learned to make Moroccan Mint tea which is quite delicious. I was not a big hot tea drinker until I moved here, but have developed quite a taste for it. Earl Gray is nice as well as any Orange Blossom tea. I lived near a Foldger's plant when I was just out of college, I was teaching high school and had to be at work at 6.45. School started at 7.05am. The combination of 5.30 alarm and the smell of Foldger's in my apartment, made me addicted to the stuff.

Chocolate milk is my favourite. I don't like coffee or mocha. I can drink tea (milk, no sugar) but rarely do. My mother told me that I needed to learn to drink either coffee or tea because that is what you are offered when you are visiting. It was true in her day, but now you usually get offered a variety. When visiting, I usually drink juice or coke, which are always offered along with coffee and tea.

I love coffee. I like plain coffee with a little half and half, no sugar. I also like lattes, both plain and (lightly) flavored. I ask for one shot of flavoring when I get a flavored latte. I also like flavored iced coffees. I also like coffee ice cream. Yup, to all of that!

Hot, strong and black. All day long.
Except when I have a headache. Then I need a LARGE fountain coke with a straw and extra ice. Oddly, coffee just makes it worse.

I like my coffee black with a shot or two of espresso - iced or hot depending on the weather but it has to be strong. I also like coffee ice cream, coffee yogurt, coffee anything basically. And my kitchen theme is coffee. So yes, I am a coffee-holic. :-)

Since I was sick in January, i have not had any coffee. I miss the idea of it more than the reality. I do still like the smell of it. I also have not had any type of caffeine or pop (I've had a few sips of pop when there has been no alternative and it has tasted gross). I drink decaf iced tea and water only.

I love my coffee ! I set my cocfee pot the night before and wake up to my Folgers brewing. I drink it strong with cream and little sugar. For my after work and before bedtime coffee I use my keurig. My second drink of choice is Coke. I really don't drink any other soft drink.

Couldn't have said it better myself. We brew Starbucks all the time. We also use Starbuck's K-cups when we use the Keurig. I like iced coffee too!!

Harry & David Moose Munch (with cream and stevia) is my coffee of choice. I have a cup or two every morning. I also love a good caramel macchiato, but I'm too cheap to hit Starbucks very often.

I love my coffee! It makes me so happy! It's not even the caffeine so much as the whole morning ritual.
My daily coffee has whole whipping cream and stevia. I broke up with creamer 2 years ago and haven't looked back. Although on vacation recently, I did use creamer and it just isn't the same as real cream. Too thin and too sweet.
I very rarely do Starbucks or the local coffee hit because I just hate to it so much when I like my home version so much.

I hate coffee. I drink Pepsi or 5 hour energy for caffeine. For a hot drink I choose hot chocolate. Or one of very few teas.

I don't just like coffee or just love coffee...I NEED coffee or I'm a mess. I don't do mornings without coffee--my husband knows not to talk to me until I've had at least half of my mug in the morning! That being said, I like my coffee with some milk, half and half, and just a splash of flavored creamer. I'm not big on the fancy coffee drinks. I will have a latte from time to time. I used to like Starbucks' Pumpkin Spice Lattes, but last year when I tried one, it just tasted "off" and didn't get another all season. Love my coffee!

I love the smell of coffee but have never liked the taste. I don't drink hot tea either, or plain iced tea. I will drink flavored iced tea, like raspberry or peach.
I detest all cola drinks and root beer. I will drink the occasional "white soda" or orange, and some flavored waters.
Most of the time I drink cold tap water, milk or lemonade once in a while, and chocolate milk for a treat. I do like hot cocoa, but don't drink it that often.

Nope, I don't. Now, sure, maybe if you gave me a super-foofy coffee with more other stuff than actual coffee, I might like it. But just a coffee, black, or even with sugar & cream, no thank you. I do, sometimes though, like the smell of some coffees.

Looooove my coffee! Can't live without it. At home, I brew relatively fancy beans and drink it black and strong. If given a choice, that's what I like, but I'm not overly snobby: I will drink street-truck coffee, diner coffee, instant coffee, or whatever coffee is available. I drink it iced, frou-frou'ed, or hot, with milk or sugar or both or neither. I love espresso, cappuccino, tiramisu, coffee ice cream... You get the picture.

Yes. I prefer espresso drinks to drip coffee unless it's pour over. Then it's much better than going through a machine. I also can't stand fast food coffee like McDs. I guess I'm a bit of a coffee snob. I have to be careful with coffee though... it can give me wicked migraines. The d's used to have the best coffee. They roasted their own. Now they use seattle's most. disgusting. That crap will de-ice planes.
