Same as **Cazzle**. Unless I’m at _Gloria Jeans_ and then it’s a toss between a Caramelatte or a Very Vanilla Chiller.

Also like I like my men; very intense, and rather sweet, with a strong tendency for espresso-based (i.e. of foreign origin). Sometimes a bit nutty (hazelnut syrup is a fave of mine).

I don’t know how to explain the milk part, though. Maybe not black, but not entirely bland and white, either?

I prefer to drink the One True Brew

Qahwah

Kaffe

Tursku kaf

Turkish/Arabic/Greek coffee

Black as Night, Sweet as Sin, Bitter as Love

Sometimes flavored with cardamom or ginger

In a pinch, a good, dark roast infusion type coffee will do, as long as the beans are good. French press is better.

Incidentally, my side biz is making and selling teh stuff at Renn Faires and the like.

I love 7-11 coffee, they have the best flavoured coffee creamers.

“Turkish/Arabic/Greek coffee”

Oh! I LOVE that kind of coffee! You don’t even have to add anything to it! 😃

I love the grounds that remain at the bottom of the cup! Yum!

Vietnamese coffee is delicious, or at least it is when prepared properly. The only time I’ve had it was in San Francisco. I’ve never found anything when looking for “Vietnamese Coffee” since, so I don’t know if it’s a type of bean (or blend), or just a method of preparation.

For my own coffee, I blend Mocha Java, French Rpast, and Colombian beans. I use milk, sugar, and sometimes a squirt of dark chocolate syrup.

With milk at home. Black everywhere else.

Milk isn’t that big a deal it’s just sort of a treat when I’m at home and it’s extra calcium. 🙂

In a large mug with equal, nondairy creamer and a cigarette.

The combination may kill me sooner :eek: But I know what I like.

Black, two sugars, or just plain black. Sometimes I have some milk for variety, but almost never.

Like my women… white and two.

Actually, I like it black… with milk.

Ok, all poor jokes aside. I like my coffee (when I drink it - not often) black, no sugar.

I like any form of coffee, any way.

I’m not picky.

But I do hold a special place in my stomach for iced hazelnut lattes. Supernummy.

Lots of cream and sixteen sugars.

Well, almost.

I use a huge mug, add five packets of Equal and add one tablespoon hazlenut creamer and one tablespoon Irish creme creamer. Like Geoduck, from time to time I add a little Bailey’s – also a little Irish whiskey, a little Frangellico, a little whipped cream. Oh yeah! Sometimes I add coffee. 😉

At home with milk, at work…black, which is weird because I tend to make better coffee at home then work…guess I would rather suffer at work then home 😃
