How do you take your coffee?
black and strong.
Usually black and strong if the coffee is good. If the coffee is not top quality then I will add a little sweetener to mask it a bit.
Jeesh, I didn't even get the poll up yet!
Black at home.
When I get it out I go to this Hippy cafe/bookstore because they have "A Shot in the Dark".
12 or 16 (forget which, because it doesn't matter) oz coffee with 2 shots of espresso in it.
Costs about the same as a 20oz coffee from starbucks/DD/etc. And this place actually has French Roast/Dark Roast coffees.
When I ask for French Roast at Starbucks the kid behind the counter says "Oh with the pump extractor, yeah we can do that".
Every once in awhile I put a little milk in a coffee... usually to mask bad coffee. I can't stand sugar in my drinks. If I want to drink something sweet, I'll drink fruit juice or hot chocolate.
I use creamer and sugar for my morning coffee. I do love the creamier coffees like cappuccino, cafe au lait, cafe con leche, whatever else it's called.
When I visited Spain and Italy and found it amusing that places would offer "Cafe Americano" on the menu, which was their lone drip-brewed pot that wouldn't get any use if not for the American tourists. :)
Motor oil with a little cream
Light and sweet.
Lately I've been taking it with a shot of peppermint, too.
I've got a thing for mint.

I take it straight, but when the estrogen(my girlfriend) is around, I get it light and sweet. As the anonymous quote says,
"a true southern gentleman likes his coffee black, his liquor straight, and his women virtuous",
There are many variations on this quote. However, despite the themes I strive to be a true southern gentleman.
