Thread: How do you take your coffee?

Black. Nothing else will do.

As an added bonus, I have converted my parents to drinking it this way too.

Black. Anyone other way is socialist.

That's kind of funny. My parents always drank theirs black, but my sister (and possibly my mother putting him on a starvation diet a few years back) got my father drinking sweet latte's. It's still black in the morning, but on weekends if you take my dad to a coffee shop he'll probably get a latte. Of course, he'll only order the latte after spending the entire morning trying to convince you to go to a brewpub instead.

lack n Sweet

Sugar, cream milk.
I am from Bulgaria, and I am used to drink some great coffee, Turkish espresso etc.
I live in the US at the moment, and I find the coffee that one can buy from the store horrible. I have to resort to additives such as hazelnut creamer to make things work. I learned to live with what I can get from the store, but if I had the funds I'd probably get into roasting my own coffee blends etc.

You sir, deserve to be quoted.

At work: Black, and some customers have machines that have a half-decent mocca-setting. At home either espresso or mocca.

See if their are any independent coffee shops in your area. They usually roast their own beans.

I'm not sure how big boston stoker is, but they have decent coffee for a chain. I think they may just be in this area though.

I think coffee is a lot like good scotch where cream act's like water so you can taste the beans a little better. I don't need any sugar in my coffee I'm sweet enough.

However I do like Turkish coffee straight up.

As a young fellow I drank it with cream and sugar. In my early twenties I went on a sugar free thing and within a few days found I preferred it without the sweetner. Then in my forties I gave up the half & half and again found in a few days I was used to the straight stuff. Straight razors, straight single malt scotch and straight coffee are my habits now.

Turkish - with about half the standard calling for sugar.


American - black and strong.


Irish - yes please.
