How do you like to drink your coffee? Do you like your coffee with lots of coffee..so thick that a spoon can stand up by itself in it? Or do you like it weak: more water then coffee..Do you like it chilled or prefer it piping hot? Finally how many cups of coffee do you drink in a day?Myself I like my Coffee stronger ..but not strong enough a spoon can stand up in it by itself. I like it cooled a little but don't really care for ice coffe..
I probably have abou 2 1/2 cups of coffee a day.
I cannot go without my coffee or i get a headache:)

I think most people in USA love their coffee, coming from the UK originally I love my cup of tea in the morning, well about 3 cups actually.
I can go months without drinking coffee, then I have times when I drink it quite a lot.
I like my coffee made like a flat white with a lot of sugar, but when I make it myself at home I like it not too stong very milky and sweet. I sometimes use milk and coffee whitener in coffee as it tastes a lot creamier.

Yes, I think I remember chatting with friends from the UK and they love their tea. Don't you usually have and hour each day for tea and bisquits?

I've never cared for coffee in terms of the "cup of joe" but I love my French Vanilla instant coffee and French Vanilla Cappachinos. I only have it a couple times in a week and try to drink it when it's hot and just cool enough to drink.

I drink a lot of coffee and use it to get in my part of my daily milk requirement.
So I use about 15% milk and I like it sweet...almost a dessert.
I love ice coffee in the summer and always seem to have a cup in my hand.
I don't seem to get headaches if I miss a day. But if I wake up with a headache...the coffee seems to help it go away.

I absolutely love coffee, but in order for me to be able to drink it I have to have lots of sugar and cream in it to where i cannot taste the coffee almost. isn't that strange? LOL!

Yes, that is strange ..I would say you want sugar and cream with a little coffeee for flavor and a boost;)

For homemade coffee, I put 1 packet of Splenda and 1 teaspoon of Coffeemate in a cup of brewed coffee. I usually prefer hot coffee, but not too hot that my tongue gets burned. In coffee shops I usually get a hot mocha with no whipped cream.
I normally have 1 cup of coffee a day, and like you I cannot go a day without coffee or I'll get a headache. On stressful days I can go up to 3 cups.

Yes: Can't have those headaches, can we? I think 3 cups may be my limit..yesterday..I think I had more..and you know; I slept better then I have in a long time.. Now figure that;)

Well, I dont drink coffee everyday but when I do I like it hot--not burning hot though. I also like it to taste like coffee. Not too much where the spoon will stand up in it and not where it tastes like hot water.

Good tasting hot coffee: Great combination isn't it? Glad to see you are a coffee drinker. What's your favorite brand?

I like my coffee with milk, cream, and sugar. I just cannot drink it black. I know a lot of people who can though.

I sure can't drink coffee black. I have a hard time without the sweetner..I have to have mine with creamer and the sugar substitute. I am sure if I had to, I could knock off the sweetner;)

Many people like coffee plain and simple, black: no cream or sugar. I cannot handle it that way now; but sometimes people's taste can change when they get older. We shall see.

Hi littlefranciscan! I consume 2 to three cuos of hot coffe, but not too hot, in a day. There are times however that I only have a cup because i would have the craving for hot chocolate drink instead or sometimes tea. I prefer my coffe with just half a teaspoon, with two teaspoons of sugar and a teaspoon of cream. Take care and have a nice day.

I drink about 4 - 6 cups a day sometimes more and the way I love my coffee is 10 scoops of coffee to 12 cups of water and when it is finished I love adding blueberry creamer yum it tastes so good. I also love drinking blueberry muffin coffee and I use French vanilla creamer in the blueberry muffin coffee. Either is alright with me I love them both.

Blueberry creamer? I never heard of it. Where do you buy such a thing? I wonder what blueberry flavored coffee tastes like.. But you say "yum" so it must be good; I just dont know that I want blueberry flavor in my coffee;)

I love coffee too. I like mine to be fairly strong in taste but I don't like it so strong that it gets thick. I'm really into flavored coffees or adding a flavored cream to my coffee. French Vanilla and Hazlenut are some of my favorites. I like iced coffees too or coffee blends but in the morning I like a fairly hot cup of coffee to get my day started.

I try flavor coffees but always revert back to the good ole regular coffee tasting coffee..Too many flavors makes coffee taste more like flavor then coffee;)

Hello!
I am also a big fan of coffee. However, because I am having my semester's break (i'm a college student), I don't drink coffee because I need to rest. I drink coffee once a day to keep me alarm. I don't mind if the coffee is hot or iced cold. What is the brand of coffee that you drink? Do you buy coffee from Starbucks?

The type of coffee one gets in south India is quite different from what one gets elsewhere in the world. Water is boiled and at one point, coffee power is added and it is put into percolator which prepares dedoction, after filtering the powder part. Simultaneously milk is boiled, add some hot water (thick milk may not give desired taste and aroma of coffee). Sugar is added according to taste and hot coffee is served. In most cases the best coffee is served, when coffee seeds are freshly roasted and ground, at the time of preparing the decoction. I drink 2 to 3 cups day and I enjoy drinking coffee prepared like this.

Wow..they sure make coffee a little bit different then we do here in America..but I am so glad that you shared how you make coffee there. We are so spoiled here in American..we just put ground coffee into a coffee filter then put it in the coffee maker, add water and turn on the pot ..We have coffee in a matter of 2 to 3 minutes.

I have to have my coffee in the mornings. Besides it being part of my morning ritual, I don't think I could make it through the day without drinking at least one cup. I love my coffee 'hot, strong and black'. I never reallly got into sugar or creamers. In the wintertime, I do love a cup of coffee with french vanilla creamer in it, though.

I prefer to take my coffee extremely strong with a dash of cream early in the morning... I may crash around noon, but thats what I've grown accustomed to :(

I love coffee, I think it's easier to make than tea, and quicker! (I'm so lazy!)
I like two sugars and not a lot of milk, strong and sweet - just like I like my men lol!
I always have a cup of tea first thing in the morning, and the rest of the day I'll drink coffee. I love all sorts of coffee, I have a percolator and a cafetiere and an expresso maker! My hubby doesn't understand it all!
I lvoe all different flavours of coffee too! Especially - choco-cappucino!
