Clicked both Strong and Black…however, I am one of those odd people who cannot drink anything hot - so I actually put an ice cube or two in coffee before drinking it. Although I can chew ice cubes and it doesn’t hurt or freeze my mouth, hot coffee just burns my mouth and I have never, ever been able to drink boiling (or hot) drinks of any kind. Am somewhat mystified how other people can do this. Hot drinks hurt! ---

Weak and milky, hold the sugar. Unfortunately it’s hard to find weak coffee at restaurants and coffee shops. So I mostly only drink what I make myself. ---

It depends. I don’t drink a lot of coffee, it’s mostly back-up for if I run out of teabags or milk for tea, so I usually just have it black with no (or maybe 1/2 tsp) sugar. On occasion I’ll have it sweet and milky. ---

Strong and black, like my men, but I like it on the low side of hot - hotter than warm, but not as hot as it is right out of the brewer. Joe ---

I want my coffee to be so strong that it jumps out of the mug and beats up my breakfast. I don’t drink it that often, but when I do, it’s strong and sweet: I add milk and Stevia to it. ---
