For daily consumption: D

Not quite a month past St. Patrick's Day, I also like it with brown sugar, Jameson and a dollop of whipped cream.

At home "A". When I get coffee from Starbucks "D", but that is more as a little treat for me than the coffee needs it.

Stryderg11 Apr 2017 10:01 a.m. PST

D – coffee is just a delivery system for cream and sugar.

Personal logo Stosstruppen Supporting Member of TMP11 Apr 2017 10:01 a.m. PST

A – always

Rrobbyrobot11 Apr 2017 10:09 a.m. PST

By direct frontal assault.

Chris Wimbrow11 Apr 2017 10:09 a.m. PST

I've not had any in quite a while, but I used to go back and forth with black, or cream and sugar (including artificial substitutes.)

I once had a coworker at a construction site tell me that the cream and sugar just made it sugar water. I had to ask what he thought the can of Coca Cola he was drinking early in the morning actually was.

Your coffee should be a reflection of your place in the Universe:

SWMBO – short, blonde, and sweet
Me – unending dark and bitter

Not just a pity statement but also the reality of how both of us take our coffee.

Coyotepunc and Hatshepsuut11 Apr 2017 11:00 a.m. PST

All of the above, depending on circumstances. Sometimes even foofoo ice coffee

But zoneofcontrol has an amazing alternative for those 'difficult to get through days' ie Sunday to Sunday 😉

Two guys were getting coffee in line ahead of me. One ordered black coffee. The other ordered an iced decaf soy latte.

When they had their coffees, the first one said, "I like my coffee like I like my women: hot and strong." The second one replied, "so do I: cold and pretentious."


That's not original. I saw it in a cartoon many years ago, but I don't remember who produced it.

Oberlindes Sol LIC Supporting Member of TMP11 Apr 2017 12:07 p.m. PST

I myself like cafe sua da or gafe boran when the weather is hot, and Turkish coffee when it's not.

Personal logo StoneMtnMinis Supporting Member of TMP11 Apr 2017 12:10 p.m. PST

During my service in the Navy A+, after discharge to celebrate my freedom C. However, depending on circumstances back to A.

Starbucks NEVER!

JimDuncanUK11 Apr 2017 12:13 p.m. PST

Coffee, don't drink the stuff.

Winston Smith11 Apr 2017 12:27 p.m. PST

C. Milk or cream only.

I should point out that I don't do any of that Starbucks nonsense, just like I don't do "craft" beer. None of that Russian Imperisl Blueberry IPA for me.

Ed Mohrmann Supporting Member of TMP11 Apr 2017 12:58 p.m. PST

How do I take my coffee ? Generally, by mouth.

OH ! How do I like it fixed !

D

Dave Crowell11 Apr 2017 1:06 p.m. PST

C, with nutmeg when available

rustymusket11 Apr 2017 1:11 p.m. PST

D, and with no miniatures.

Personal logo 20thmaine Supporting Member of TMP11 Apr 2017 1:32 p.m. PST

What I like is a proper cup of coffee – made in a proper cup of coffee pot.

I may be off my dot – but I like a cup of coffee from a proper coffee pot.

Personal logo 20thmaine Supporting Member of TMP11 Apr 2017 1:34 p.m. PST

Russian Imperisl Blueberry IPA for me.

Sounds all right – as long as we leave the blueberry out. evil grin

skippy000111 Apr 2017 1:59 p.m. PST

I spent 6 years working in a hospital dietary department(kitchen) making 15 pounds of coffee every morning 5 days a week.

I don't drink the stuff.

joeltks11 Apr 2017 2:08 p.m. PST

A … unless it's barely palatable but necessary for survival.

Choctaw11 Apr 2017 2:13 p.m. PST

Black. Otherwise it's just a soft drink.

C…then add about 1/3 ice to make my ice coffee.

P.

JMcCarroll11 Apr 2017 2:55 p.m. PST

D. Will only drink Starbucks if it is the only coffee left on the earth.

14Bore11 Apr 2017 3:25 p.m. PST

Tablespoon of cream in the 1st cup, refills get nothing. Only been to Starbucks once maybe 15 years ago. Wawa has better coffee.

Glenn Harvey11 Apr 2017 4:13 p.m. PST

A- Black, why destroy good coffee by puting Milk and/or sugar in it

Oberlindes Sol LIC Supporting Member of TMP11 Apr 2017 4:41 p.m. PST

Coffee is also good if mixed with Kahlua, or with Kahlua and cream, or with Irish whisky, or even with Bailey's.

Crow Bait11 Apr 2017 4:53 p.m. PST

F.
I like my coffee like my women, organic, fair trade, and a renewable resource..

doomfire11 Apr 2017 5:03 p.m. PST

At home I drink it black. Out, I usually put some cream in it.

Regulars11 Apr 2017 5:07 p.m. PST

Yes A,B,C,D. Retired infantry, and I still have a soft spot for several of us mixing all our C Ration coffee, chocolate, coco, powered milk and sugar in a pot and drinking the resulting beverage heaven in a canteen cup. Cheers!

Spoon test:

Take a spoon, insert in coffee, let go.
A. If it stands, it's strong enough for me.
B. If it comes out incomplete, it's definitely strong enough.
C. IF NOT A AND NOT B THEN it ain't coffee.

Cyrus the Great11 Apr 2017 6:38 p.m. PST

E.

KSmyth11 Apr 2017 8:32 p.m. PST

A. Every morning a cup or two of black coffee. The stronger the better. However as a Pacific Northwesterner I occasionally fall for the siren song of Starbucks and the lure of a nonfat mocha. Something on my list of things to give up.

COL Scott ret11 Apr 2017 10:17 p.m. PST

G. Anyway it is presented, no discrimination here.

That is how I take it, how I like it is strong with just a bit of real cream and some honey as a natural sweetener. But I will take it however it is given- I have so often been offered coffee in the field from a thermos that whatever comes out will work its magic. *coffee*

?1?What no coffee icon !?!

Start the revolution tomorrow- break out the guillotine. grin

E. Caffeine gives me gout and a headache.Decaff is just yuck.

Timotheous12 Apr 2017 3:34 a.m. PST

A,B,C,D. I also like it black, with a shot of espresso.

@Oberlindes: I don't know if this is the cartoon you were thinking of, but years ago I saw a Beetle Bailey cartoon where Lt. Fuzz declared that "I like my coffee like I like my women: hot, black, and sweet!"
