Hot and sweet.  
Hot and black.  
First thing in the morning.

And my favorite…

Irish.

I still get big laughs with:

“I like mine strong and black. Like my men.”

Blows the conservative midwestern minds of my coworkers.

…hot and black.

…black and at work.

…rich and black.

…black and bitter.

…freshly-ground and in a carafe.

Best one I ever heard came from Wayne’s World on SNL, between Garth’s Mom (Candice Bergen) and Wayne:

“I like my coffee the way I like my women.”  
“How’s that?”  
“Milk and two sugars.”  
“What’s that mean?”  
“I have no idea.”

I like my men like I like my overpriced Starbucks beverages - tall, skinny, sweet, and extra-hot.

Once upon a time I was a cashier at Dunkin’ Donuts.  
I asked an old white man, white his old white wife in tow, how he wanted his coffee.  
“Strong and black, like I like my women.”  
I freakin’ died, and his wife hit him good-naturedly.

Actually, I really do like my men how I like my coffee - not at all. Mind you, I’ve never really _tried_ coffee, but every time I consider the possibility, I just know somehow that it’s not my thing.

Obviously the analogy doesn’t work so well with women.

Anyone seen that British coffee advert:  
Woman in supermarket, sees handsome black man near her, catches his eye and picks up a Mocha Kenya instant jar (or something):  
“I like my coffee _exotic_. Like where you’re from.”  
Guy smiles, and says:  
“Weeelly? Shwopshire? How wuvly!” 🆒

It is a joke Eddie Izzard tells. About why a beekeeper would not be able to chat up people at work.
