I absolutely LOVE coffee but I find that when I order it from a coffee shop, no matter how good and professional the shop is, it's always too strong for my liking. Because of this, I always order half strength coffee. To me, full strength tastes and looks lke mud! Everyone has their own personal preference when it comes to coffee so what do you like to order when you're out? Capuccino? Late? Mochaccino? Chai tea?

When it comes to MY coffee I prefer to have a French Vanilla Latte extra sweet. Since I cant have it every day then I will settle with my husbands coffee which can be strong at times. I cant wait till my bestfriend/brother comes home from his National Guard training cause then the coffee withh be perfect for me.

I love anything from Caribou coffee especially a chai tea latte or their turtle mocha rocks too. I love coffee shop coffee anyway but it's pretty expensive to have every day..I usually have it once or twice a week.

Light and Sweet. Thankfully I live in the Coffee Capital of the United States. Hehe, they rarely make it wrong. I am lucky for that. Other than that I will make it myself.

I'm a Chai Latte girl. I don't do it often because of the price, and calories, but that's my favorite. I think Starbucks makes the best as I've had them. Some other places are good, but weaker in flavor, and I want the most flavor. I do like coffee, but I never order it anywhere. I'm quite picky, because most coffees taste very bitter to me, especially the cheaper brands like Folgers, Sanka, Boyds, the ones they usually serve places. My family has been on Gevalia's regular delivery for proably 40 years now, starting with my grandmother. We are of Swedish heritage, so kind of partial. But seriously, that's good coffee. We have had friends over who always buy their beans from Starbucks or Seatle's Coffee or something and they tell us we have the best coffee. I personally take my coffee with a little milk or half and half, but not too much, and never sugar. Sugar ruins coffee unless there are other flavors and a good amount of fat to absorb it. Without the fat (cream) sugar is all I taste.

i like strong coffee and you have forgotten to include espresso as one of the choices. i like it when it is strong because it makes me energetic and lively. a natural high for me and i enjoy it alone or with friends but i would rather enjoy it on my own because it makes me think.

Sometimes I think coffee smells like chocolate. I like to drink Folgers or Maxwell House. I used to drink it with a little bit of milk in it, but now I just drink it black. I never order coffee when I am out unless we stop byu MsDonalds for breakfast. I like their coffe and sometimes Starbucks. That is only because I don't get out much to order alot of coffee. most of the coffee I drink is at home and it is the full flavor. Caffeinated coffee.

I don't order coffee out much because of the same reasons, too strong. I think they leave it on the buner too long and that's how it gets to be that way. But if I were able to catch them with a fresh pot, I'd get a cup of regular coffee with sugar and cream. In the winter time I'd love to have a Capunccino. Good and warm!!

I always have a cappuchino when I am out, I find this isnt too bad. There is nothing worse than drinking a coffee that makes your hair stand on end and your teeth chatter when you drink it. I always find though that I have to put about 5 sugars in it to get it to taste sweet enough which is not good for my teeth!!

My favorite is the Venti Sugar-free Vanilla Breve Latte from starbucks. Yummy! But, if it weren't for the flavored syrups you can put in your coffee, I wouldn't like coffee at all. It is too bitter. Yuck! And, try as I might, I have never been able to save some money and make my own sugar-free vanilla breve latte. It is just not the same as Starbucks, even when I followed their recipe. So, I will got there and enjoy!

Coffee can never be too strong for me, and I don't consider those sweet milky drinks served in coffee shops to be real coffee. I did try a white chocolate mocha once and as a sweet drink it was OK but not really to my taste. I prefer bitter black coffee.

My personal preference in coffee is Folgers Columbian. Consequently when eating out good coffee is hard for me to find. You are right, most places do not know how to make coffee, if its black its good, right? Some of the places where the coffee is tolerable to almost good are Ihop, Dennys and Waffle House.

I used to work in an italian coffee shop and loved making it and being creative but the funny thing is I hate coffee. I never have liked the taste, the one thing I dont understand about people who do drink coffee is that they all say they made themselfs drink it when they where young because it was 'grown up' not because they liked it.
