I like mine blacker than the blackest metal times infinity...lol.

Maybe that is a bit of an exaggeration, but I certainly prefer my coffee black with no sweetners or cream and tend to prefer darker roasts, as well as being brewed strong enough to leave behind a nice layer of coffee sludge in my cup.

I guess on rare occasions if I go to a coffee shop I might get steamed milk or might order like a frozen coffee beverage or something.

Also now I have found putting ice in my coffee isn't bad, I always thought that seemed like a weird thing to do. But the other day I made some coffee in my french press and couldn't drink it all before it cooled off. I didn't really want room tempature coffee and it was really hot out so I just put some ice in it, still no sweetener or cream and it's pretty good.
I am also kind of picky about what coffee I drink, I really don't like sh*tty coffee, I tend not to trust a lot of gas station coffee, restaurant coffee and such also not big on bargain brands like folger or whatever some blends are ok, but I certainly like better quality coffee that tends to cost more for a less amount.

I prefer not to drink it. Freshly ground coffee beans smell delicious, but to me, the finished product tastes disgusting no matter what's done to it. I do enjoy a cup of black tea, hot or iced - sometimes with just a little milk if it's hot, never any sweetener. I also enjoy the thing some coffee places will do where it's basically just hot milk with a syrup flavor in it, without any coffee - vanilla or pumpkin for me.

Oh, yes, and I also love white hot chocolate. I'll drink regular, but prefer white.

I don't. Although it smells good, I don't like the taste. Tea is okay, but most of the year I only want cold beverages, and when it's cold I prefer cocoa.

I drink way too much of it, approximately 48 ounces a day. I drink so much I'm practically caffeine resistant-- I'll drink it at night and it doesn't have any effects on my sleep. As for how it's made, as long as it's warm I could care less what goes into it. Imo, it should be considered it's own food group....the biggest block at the base of the food pyramid.

Mocha has all the good things in it - coffee, milk, chocolate, sometimes sugar depending on the quality. If good quality definitely no sugar, if bitter due to cheap blend / scrappy baristas (I'm looking at you, truck stops, you know who you are) then sugar needed to sweeten out the bitterness.
Cannot stand instant or percolate coffee. Must be espresso. Love everything about espresso.
... now I want a cup of coffee!

I typically don't drink it as it wreaks havoc on my digestive system, and the level of effectiveness of it on me varies wildly to where sometimes it'll work, and other times it causes a "sugar crash," effectively sapping my energy in a counterproductive twist.

covered in bees... or not at all.

actually, tend to avoid caffeine for having too much energy, and in attempting to avoid insomnia.

Meh, I'm more of a tea drinker, though if you put a Starbucks Frappuccino in front of me *GLUG*

I'm not really into coffee all that much, I do have instant coffee at breakfast time, apart from that I like peppermint tea.

I drink mine black. Used to have it with milk, but I learned to drink it black a few years ago.

I like mine black; though not excessively strong as there seems some correlation between one strong coffee too many and chest pains. Also discovered a silly phenomenon that mixing soya milk into some coffee blends creates some strange fluffy gunk in the liquid - so, black. :)

I used to drink it au lait, but since I switched to grinding my beans fresh I take it black. And I drink it in the evening, because caffeine doesn't keep me awake and actually calms me down. If I have to drink Charbucks because I'm traveling or something, though, I get it with milk; someone should inform Starbucks that the process of roasting coffee beans is slightly different from that used to make charcoal. :lol:
