How do you take your coffee?
 
Just curious. Me...I like a strong coffee with about 5 parts coffee and 1 part milk. 2.5 tsp sugar.

I am wondering if it is prepped like I do--does the quality even matter? I, for one, like Charbucks. BUT....I have never really ventured outside that realm (unclebeanz, killerbeans etc). I was thinking of trying some of those.

Cream and sugar for me. I've got a 3 lb special running right now if you'd like to take some of my Killer Beans for a Taste Drive!

Re: How do you take our coffee?
 
I too use cream or milk, and sweetener but not sugar. But there are several that I will drink black, most recently Honolulu Coffee Co.'s Kona Peaberry. So, "none of the above". ;)

CRAP!!! I did forget black with sugar. Can a moderator add that?

If the coffee is good, I take it black. Everyday coffee shop coffee, I put in a tiny amount of splenda and cream, just to take off the bitterness edge.

Same for me but raw sugar and a drop of cream

Generally, I drink my coffee black. Once in a blue moon and it would usually be in the evening, I might take my coffee with 2 teaspoons of turbinado pure cane sugar and half n half...

It won't let me guess 2.
Depends, If its a roast I just did first pot is black to feel out the taste and to taste the bean so when I mix blends or what not I know the characteristics, then other times its a splash of milk with a dare of sugar and other times I add honey into the duo.

I voted Cream & Sugar but I really use Silk Creamer not milk-creamer. I use about 20% creamer and a heaping tablespoon of sugar. This is for a 20oz Mug/tumbler.

I like mine strong and sweet, like a caffeine candy bar! Picked up that habit in the middle east. :D

I love coffee so much that I have a Kurieg in my master bedroom/bathroom!!!!

Why is there no option for non-dairy creamer? I like splends and non-dairy creamer(yes the powder kind). Or Black!!!

Strong, caffinated black coffee. A lot of it.

Did I say a lot of it?

I need lots of coffee. Every day. Caffinated.

Lots of strong black caffinated coffee :D

OK.....so, just as I thought, I am not the only one who likes milk or milk-like product and sugar or sugar-like product.

So....do you folks think there is a benefit to using some of these beans from unclebeanz, killerbeans etc? Or does the milk/sugar mask the flavor too much.

I always out milk/cream/half & half and some sort of sweetener (substitute/regular sugar/ RAW) but thats not the part that matters to me. The part that matter is the coffee itself. I'm no coffee aficionado but I definitely think that where the beans come from, how it's roasted and made into coffee matters.

So to answer your question, yes it does benefit from using quality beans.

I have no preference. I'll drink coffee any way, even cold.

Re: How do you take your coffee?
 
Black, but only if I roast it. If I have to drink store bought then it is cream and splenda.

I like my coffee like I like my women . . . bottomless, ready to go, and with a lid on it.
