Black without sugar or milk is preferred for me.

We've done all of these already

I like it with lots of milk (from the fridge is fine). I also like it made espresso style, but with extra water, known as an espresso luongo. I put lots of milk in that, too. Rarely, I will substitute with soy or nut beverage instead of milk and, occasionally, a tip of the spoon of honey. I always use the honey when I have run out of milk, as I am not very fond of it black, although I can tolerate it black, if I must (when all that is available is the edible oil creamer or the powdered version, neither of which I will consume).

I prefer medium roast. Light is typically too acidic and has too much caffeine; dark is too bitter and the flavourful volatile oils have been scorched.

Black, standard roast, none of that fancy schmancy flavored junk. My favorite is from the 7-11 stores. At work we brew Maxwell House and it is also very good.

I like it with soymilk and a teaspoon of sugar. I would prefer it in large amounts, but my stomach can't talk it.

Black. I bought this Bialetti pot a few days ago...it doesn't really make espresso but what Italians call "moka." A cup will keep you awake all day and into the night. But it's fun.

I also got a cheap milk frother -- looking forward to fake capuccino.

 

[Couchie]

I take it black... just like my men.

 

[Celloman]

I'll take it black, with cream or milk, medium, light, or dark, etc., as long as I don't take it the same way twice.

Espresso - in a cup pre-heated with boiling water (I am astonished how many times I have to explain this in Britain!), no milk, no sugar .... and definitley not a paper cup

 

[Art Rock]

Never sugar, usually black. Preferably made from freshly grounds quality beans. Sometimes cappuccino.

 

[Piwikiwi]

With milk, cappuccino or latte macchiato

Like Coronel Buendia I like my coffee amargo. I like the darkest possible roast. However, I cannot tolerate caffeine any more, so must limit myself to decaf or to substitutes, which taste nothing like coffee, but some of which are good in their own right as long as they are not compared with or considered as coffee. Soyfee and Teeccino are my favorite non-coffee hot black drinks.

I should add that it has to be hot!

Good to see you - not noticed you for a while

In a cup pre-heated with boiling water, I hope? :lol:

Thanks, yes, been away from here for a bit.

Sorry, no, but I do pre-heat my mug with boiled water before pouring from a pot of tea.
