Absolutely. With a little frothed creamer. I look forward to it every morning. We brew a big pot every morning. No Keurig or anything like that. I had a keurig and gave it away. I drink way too much coffee on a daily basis for it to be cost effective-even when I made it myself. I went back to my old braun coffee maker. It has to be about 15 years old-it is one of the original 'make coffee into a carafe' coffee makers and still keeps the pot fresh and hot for hours even after all this time. I am SO happy I kept it when I got my keurig. Honestly, I think it makes a better coffee than the keurig did. We came to the same conclusion about the Keurig. My husband drinks even more coffee than I do, and it's just cheaper and easier for us to use our good ol' Cuisinart coffee maker. |

I LOVE coffee! I look forward to my first cup every morning from the minute I wake up until it is finished brewing! I drink it with 1 pack of Sweet Leaf Stevia. My first cup is caffeinated, then I switch to decaf for two more cups within the first hour that I'm up. I like the same brand every day, I want it to taste the same, I don't like to mix it up. (Donut Shoppe regular, and then decaf.
Since I gave up soft drinks in 2011, I might drink 1-2 more cups of decaf during the day, especially during cooler weather. I used to like the Starbucks espresso drinks, but for some reason I lost my taste for them about 6 months ago (helps to save money!).
I use a Keurig to fix the coffee - that also helps it taste the same from day to day!

Coffee, another Folgers gal, not a coffee snob, like mine with just a little bit of milk. NOBODY talks to me until I have had at least half a cup and then I can manage "good morning".
Love the smell of coffee also love coffee ice cream.
But...when I was pregnant, I could not stand the smell of coffee. Hated it for the entire 9 months. Woke up in the hospital and asked for coffee, it tasted great. Fast forward 21 months later woke up one morning, hated the smell and taste of coffee and told my DH we were pregnant! Keep in mind this was long before home tests. A few weeks later I went to the Dr, told him I couldn't drink coffee and he told me that it was still too early to do a pregnancy test, but based on my "coffee" test, he was assuming I was pregnant...and I was!!!

I love coffee! I drink mine with real cream and maple syrup. It's so rich and delicious. And creamy!
DH loves coffee, too. We get Tim Horton's whole beans and grind our own. That's his preference, not mine. But I go along with it to make him happy.
For a coffee alternative, I enjoy Teeccino. It's caffeine free and made from herbs and chicory. I like the French roast blend the best. It has a little bit of a chocolate flavor to it. I drink it with cream and maple syrup just like I do regular coffee. I get it at Publix.

Oh yes. Love the stuff  Never Starbucks coffee. My dh only drinks Tim Horton's so that it was I drink in the morning, brewed at home with a little milk. If dh isn't home, I use locally roasted beans, ground at home and made with my French Press. My dd (who just moved back to university) works at a very cool cofffehouse in town. Everything is made by hand and the beans are locally roasted. Once we had coffee, lattes and baked goods from that shop, we never went to Starbucks again. BTW, dd was a barista at Starbucks before this coffee shop. All of the baked goods at Starbucks are frozen and thawed. Her new shop has organic, locally sourced (when possible) baked goods made fresh in house all day  After a few coffees.....I move to teas, usually herbal. I pretty much drink tea, coffee and water all day, everyday. No juice or soda. |

I adore coffee. We have a Keurig so I'll have half a cup of flavored or regular coffee with half and half. This is necessary for me to be able to function and carry on lucid conversations with people as I am slow to wake up in the morning. I don't drink the whole cup because I would constantly have to pee while I'm out walking. Black coffee is too hard on my stomach so I find it goes down better with a little fat.
After my walk, I'll have the other half of the cup, or in the warm months I'll save it and put it over ice in the afternoon. Almost every afternoon between 2 - 5 pm I go to Starbucks and have either a venti or grande 1% 170-degree no-foam latte. This is my reward for snowshoeing when it's 17 degrees outside or source of energy and motivation for cleaning a bathroom or just because I'm jonesing for coffee.
I don't understand putting sweetener in coffee so the fou-fou Starbucks-type drinks just puzzle me. So despite being a dessert-hound, I do not like coffee-flavored desserts as I do not like the coffee taste paired with sweetness.

If coffee tasted as good as it smells, I would guzzle it. Unfortunately, the only way I can get it down is by cutting it so heavily with cream, sugar, and other flavorings that calling it coffee is a joke.
My morning drink is "Tea. Earl Grey. Hot."
For the rest of the day, either Diet Cheerwine when I can get it or Dr. Pepper 10. I like my drinks sweet and fruity.

Love coffee. I try to limit myself to a couple of cups a day - either made in a plunger/French Press with a dash of milk or a Flat White if I'm buying.
Other than that, my drink of choice is water - and herbal teas in the winter.

I love coffee. I started drinking it 5 years ago when I stopped drinking soda. I prefer my coffee iced and will take that over hot, but I will drink hot at home. I have yet to perfect iced coffee at home. On the weekend it is hot coffee, no flavors and a splash of cream, no sweet we. My weekday drink is from Dunkin, a large iced coffee 1 cream and 3 equal. When I was in college I might drink 2 a day. I do go back and forth between iced coffee and unsweetened ice tea.

No, I do not like coffe or coffee flavored anything. My little joke is that I don't even like coffee cake. (I do) Iced tea - unsweetened. As strong as possible and no lemon. If I desire a hot drink - chai tea latte please. Hello, beverage twin! |

Not regular brewed coffee. I like specialty coffees, especially a mocha. I find with coffee, I need so much sugar that it's syrupy and gross. I need it to cut the bitterness.
I love iced coffee. What's weird, at least to me, is love an iced caramel macchiato from Starbucks, but NOT the hot one. Yet I would think they're the same, only one is cold. Does the ice really dilute the coffee that much?

I love coffee and drink drink 3-4 cups a day, black no sugar. If I could afford it, I would drink Starbucks lattes until the foam on top was coming out of my ears, but don't like iced coffee or anything else coffee flavored.

In my previous life, I enjoyed flavored coffees. Not all the time, but occasionally. Now that I'm LDS I don't drink coffee anymore. Lately I've been favoring flavored waters. Trying to give up soda... again. Me too and I've really fallen off the wagon re: the soda. I also really love Starbucks Iced Black Tea Lemonade. It's the only cold brewed tea I like. Iced tea for me is usually Goodhost iced tea, which is like the Kool Aid version. It's sweeter. |

I like the smell of fresh brewed coffee, but can't stand the taste. There's not enough cream, sugar or flavor to mask the bitterness. I was a Diet Coke addict, but kicked that almost two years ago. I drink ice water, sweet tea and love anything chai.

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! Would you mind sharing a link to that or the name of the powder? Sounds interesting. Thanks! |

At home before work, Caribou Breakfast blend, teaspoon sugar, splash of vanilla creamer.
At work, two glasses of iced tea made individually by seeping my tea bag in an inch or two of hot water then covering it with ice.
At restaurants it's iced tea, no lemon.

No coffee for me. I love the smell and would brew it just for an air freshner if it was cheaper. But the taste, ick.
I prefer unsweetened tea. My favorite is Tetley Vanilla (from Canada).

If it's a good quality coffee brewed proper, just a bit of real cream is all that is needed!

I love the smell but don't like to drink it unless it is mostly sweetened with a flavored creamer such as caramel.
I drink soda, preferably Pepsi (no diet!, yuk!) or a hot chocolate when I am cold.
i may get my southern girl card revoked for saying this, but I can't stand sweet tea (or any tea), it makes me gag!
I feel like I have saved a lot of money not shopping at Starbucks!

No coffee here. Ick. I don't like coffee or coffee flavored anything.
I used to be a diet coke addict. I quit drinking soda (most days anyway) and prefer unsweetened iced tea. I prefer green tea but will drink black tea too. No sweetener though.
For hot drinks, I like hot tea and chai tea. I don't drink hot drinks often though. It's usually water in the morning, iced tea at lunch, and water and/or wine in the evenings.

Nope, YUCK. Even the smell of it brewing makes me nauseous. I used to drink Sprite but have cut way, way back and mostly just drink water. If I'm out for dinner somewhere I might still have one, or maybe orange or root beer as long as it's not caffeinated. Or lemonade, as long as it's real lemonade and not that fake tasting Minute Maid fountain imposter!

coffee keeps me doing the standing-upright thing, especially before noon. it is a vital part of my day. 2 cream NO sugar or sweetener - don't even use a spoon that has touched sugar to stir my coffee because I will taste it. And no flavoured coffees - although I wouldn't turn down a shot of baileys in my coffee

Yes! I love a Starbucks iced nonfat latte w/ Splenda, brewed coffee at home with fat free half and half, or a latte brewed with the Verismo. The best coffee I've ever had was at Cafe du Monde; their cafe au laits are soooo good!
I've been trying to wean myself off of Diet Coke, so coffee is my new drug.

<<<< Coffee. All day, all black (although sometimes I do like to add half and half if it is a particularly bold version.) I make a pot in the morning and drink it all day. Love coffee. If there is ever an apocalypse, I am screwed. My survival supplies would be a back pack full of coffee and nothing else.  We could be best friends . Make sure you pack enough coffee for me. I do like flavored creamer though (Bailey's irish cream) with a little sugar. I used to do sweet n low but that stuff is bad news so I try to do only real, none of the artificial stuff. I cannot live without my coffee and I never drink soda, at least not in the past 13 years. I feed the dog and then grind my coffee beans - very little can alter my routine. I love the smell of coffee and could drink it all day AND still be able to go to sleep at night. |

Yes, but I don't like the fru fru coffee drinks. I've tried a few and they taste like chemicals to me. At home I drink my coffee black. If I order it out I get an Americano with sugar free vanilla syrup during the cold months or an Iced Latte during the warmer months.

Never Starbucks coffee.
