I have it medium strength with full fat milk or cream with 2 sugars. I like it with a bit of milk and squirty cream on the top with 2 sugars too.

Ooh, I drink mine a few different ways.
1) Medium strength, no milk, no sugar
2) Really strong, mix with dash of boiling water and one spoon of sugar to dissolve, top with ice cold milk.
3) Mediun strength, one sugar, two spoons of instant hot chocolate, fill with hot water and top with a dash of milk.
ummmmmm coffee. I'll have to try it with cream too.

Anyone put their milk in before the water?

very milky with one sugar.
milk is put in AFTER the water otherwise it cools the water down and the coffee doesnt dissolve properly, leaving floaty brown bits on top (if drinking instant anyway)
Normally quite milky and with one lumped sugar, if I want something relaxing. However, if I'm working half that sugar, double the coffee and no milk. And if I really want to relax, do the first one, but with whiskey.

One very heaped spoon of Gold Blend, or cheapo Asda/Tesco equivalent. 85% full cup of not-quite-boiling water, with a dash of milk. Sometimes I have a little extra milk, sometimes a little extra coffee - depends on my mood.
HArdly touch the stuff these days - love it, could drink it all day, but too much caffeine is a baaaaaaad thing. I don't keep any coffee in the house because I can't trust myself with it - I'd be having 10 seriously strong cups a day if I had any.
So I drink plenty of tapwater instead. Coffee is reserved for when I visit my grandmother, father or sister. And the occasional cup when having lunch at uni. :)

Unless I'm at work, then just lots of sugar and hazelnut vanilla cream.

Nope, but it tastes alright here. I've been in enough food factories to know that if you saw how anything you put in your mouth was made, you'd willingly starve yourself.
Anyway, I often ride with my visor up. I enjoy eating flies ;).

It varies. If I am drinking it to stay awake then I have it strong with 2 sugars and no milk. If I am drinking it for pleasure then I have it milky, not too strong and with a dash of Bailey's :yum:

Speaking of coffee, people at a place of employment who drink the last of the coffee and do not start another pot should be taken out back and beaten :grump:

I like my coffee medium strength with lots of milk and a sweetener.
Apparently, if you pour the milk in first, you 'boil' the milk therefore changing the taste of the coffee... and you're not meant to use boiling water on coffee - using 'freshly boiled' water makes a much nicer cup.
Ilora x
I like coffee made entirely with just milk and no water (after all milk is almost all water anyway) - tases nice and creamy

it depends on what the occasion is. On sundays or some other time when I am just drinking it for the taste I usually just have it normal strength with a little milk or cream in it.
But on weekdays when I need an eye opener, I use four times as many grounds and don't add any milk. That way, in addition to the effects of the caffeine you also get the eye opening feeling that someone just kicked you in the teeth.

Isn't the caffeine part of the enjoyment? It is for me.

Personally, I prefer decaffinated. But only started drinking it because that's what we had.
It all depends what time of day. First thing in the morning i'll have 2 sugars and 1.5 spoons coffee and a fair bit of milk. Later in the day it's still lots of milk, but only one spoon sugar and one spoon coffee.

2 heaped spoons of coffee, 1 and a bit sugars, half hot and half cold water and then a bit of milk. I hate having to wait 10 minutes for my coffee to cool down in the mornings, i'd rather wake up now thanks :D
Plus, with half cold it tastes a lot nicer imo. The whole taste destroying thing, etc.
I had some of those vanilla cream things in my coffee in the hilton in america and omg, i've never tasted anything like it. Brought a load home and everything. The Americans know how to do coffee.

Milk and 2 sugars,
Instant coffee goes in mug, add water, add milk, add sugar and stir. Then drink. Woo. Simple as 123.

I drink only this new coffee Javaberry now and it doesn't need sugar and milk. So smooth and "coffee" taste. It's so popular and expensive not for nothing.

i drink instant coffee and i've always put in the milk before the water and never had any floaty brown bits :eek2:
1 teaspoon of coffee, 1 teaspoon of sugar, about an inch of milk (i have a very big mug :D) then add the hot water
has always worked fine for me, lol

Anyway....I was thinking of the song 'coffee' by supersister
"I like my men like I like my coffee, hot strong and sweet like toffee"
I think I spend too much time dancing to cheesy songs! :blush:

You young people know nothing, dont even know your born. How can you not know about Airplane?!
- The cockpit? What is it?
- Its a little room at the front of the plane where the pilot sits, but thats not important right now.
- Its vital that we find someone on this plane who not only knows how to fly, but who didnt have fish for dinner
- No, the white zone is only loading and unloading, the red zone has always been for stopping
- Dont start with that white zone shit again, I know what you're really saying, you want me to get an abortion

I use to love coffee so much. Full teaspoon of instant coffee, with a drop of semi skimmed milk. But can't drink the stuff anymore. Makes me feel sick :yuck: Still love the smell of it though.
All I drink now is water. And odd glass of milk or orange juice.

I had a large Mocha in Costa Coffee once and the mug could've been mistaken for a bowl.
I think ppl doesn't like coffee because they don't know what the real coffee is. Until I had began tasting coffee of best brands such as Javaberry I wasn't the coffee admirer.

Black. Strong. Central American. 2 sugars.
