  • I like a little cream and no sugar. I think I might be lactose intolerant though so I'm currently using coconut milk. I LOVE coffee. I gave it up when we were TTC and I have no idea how I did that.

  • I kind of miss coffee. I mostly gave it up early in the summer since the acidity started to bother my stomach. I liked mine best with soy milk.

  • I picked cream and sugar because there was no milk option. Around me there is a huge difference between milk & sugar and cream and sugar. I use skim milk and very little of it.

  • Black with one stevia. I chose sugar no cream though because I count my sugar substitute as sugar.

    Right now though, just a black pumpkin spice from DD is my go to. No sweetener since the flavor adds sweetener.

    YES.  This is what I do.  Stevia (regular sugar doesn't even taste as good), half and half, and vanilla creamer.  I used both half and half and vanilla because I use so damn much of it.

    Really, though, I like my creamer with coffee and stevia.  LOL

    Pumpkin Spice is in my coffee right now--and I LOVE Peppermint Mocha, too.  Hazelnut is my favorite for the rest of the year.  Gosh, I love coffee.

  • Milk and sugar at home, froo froo at the coffee shop.  I've cut myself down to just one tsp of sugar per cup, so I'm pretty proud of that.  I did try using almond milk in my coffee, but it just tastes disgusting to me.

  • I think coffee made in a pot at home is gross. If I drink coffee, then it comes from Starbucks, Ellianos, or DD (if I go to a city that has a DD!). Even then, it has to be a mocha frappe with chocolate and caramel drizzle +/- whipped cream! I love the smell of coffee so much more than the taste
