Coffee

[West]

How do you make your coffee? Black, sugar, milk, creamer etc.

I drink my coffee black. I don't mind creamer if it's available though.

[St_bernard]

Black, 1 sugar

and yahooo at work we get free flavored Coffee.
I go for the French roast, or French vanilla.
Up until it was free I was doing freeze-dried.

Has to be Nescafe; growing up I hated coffee until I realised it was only because my family bought a brand that I hated. With milk and two teaspoons of brown sugar.

[Tux]

I like dark roasted coffee, black with no sugar.

[specopssoldier]

senseo hazelnut coffee... sugar and creamer...

but i take any coffee if there is no other;)

I make coffee as: milk, 1 to 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of some "halfspoon" sugar (less sugar but sweetened up - part sugar and part sweetner, about 1 teaspoon of this stuff is like 2 teaspoons of regular sugar).

Although I don't coffee much myself. I don't mind it but don't like it either. Last time I had coffee it was milk (with extra milk), and five teaspoons of regular sugar. Plus about five minutes of waiting for it to cool (I hate hot drinks - my mouth is sensitive to temperature - what to others is a warm drink to me is boiling hot enough to cause blisters).

I am the same way I only like ice coffee my prefernce:

carmel swirl ice coffee with two spoons of sugar :)

Before I worked for Starbucks, I drank black coffee with some half & half and a ton of sugar.

Lately my bar drink is a vanilla doppio con panna (two shots espresso, three pumps vanilla syrup, a tiny bit of fresh whipped cream on top).

If I still want a plain old cup of coffee, I'll go for whatever the current Black Apron Exclusive (region-specific, VERY limited offerings of particularly delicious harvests of coffee from tiny yet socially, economically, and environmentally responsible farms all over the world) is at work, because those coffees tend to have a depth of flavor you don't really get from the other coffees. You can drink the BAEs black, no cream, no sugar or anything, and they'll still be really flavorful and tasty.

Sadly though, I only get to drink them at work because at $13.50 per half pound, I can't afford to drink it anywhere else. :D

That sounds soooo good... :drool:

Although my tastebuds tend to scream for carbonated drinks rather than flat ones. Is there such a thing as carbonated cold coffee drinks?

[Tempest]

Milk and 2 spoonfuls of sugar. But usually I go to my local coffee shop and get a Mocha float, which is cold mocha with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It's awesome.

Not to my knowledge :( But maybe we can coax them into one. My friend use to add raseberry ginger ale to his ice coffee for the fizz and raseberry taste, he swears it taste amazing but haven't gotten the courage to try it yet :shrug:

[Tiamot]

Yes, many of you are aware that I am indeed an extreme coffee lover. Therefore it is not surprising that I will take coffee any way I can get it. Now, I prefer it with a dash of flavored creamer, preferably vanilla or hazelnut. I am not opposed to milk and sugar, nor am I against black coffee. I find that I take my beverage in whatever way suits me at the time. For example, if I've got a sweet tooth going, I'll add much more CoffeeMate, or sugar. On the other hand, if sweet things are gagging me at the time, I'll take it near black or with just a little milk.

[Abracadabra]

coffee is one of the greatest things ever!!!!!yet it doesnt keep me awake strangly enough...


very white with 2 sugers lol

[Vendetta]

Yuck. Now I have a sweet-tooth, but even that seems a bit much for me. I generally take a triple espresso and a single shot of vanilla.

If I really want to stay awake/be wired, I'll have a Vincent Vega, which is a coke, with a double shot of espresso and a shot of vanilla.

If I still want a plain old cup of coffee, I'll go for whatever the current Black Apron Exclusive (region-specific, VERY limited offerings of particularly delicious harvests of coffee from tiny yet socially, economically, and environmentally responsible farms all over the world) is at work, because those coffees tend to have a depth of flavor you don't really get from the other coffees.

Does SB do this everywhere or only at select locations? I don't think I've ever seen this at our local place.

[SentinelWatchdog]

Black, Asia/Pacific, extra bold, very earthy, very low acidity.

At Starbucks my favorite normal coffee is the Sumatra, but my current is the Sumatra Siborong-Borong which is one of those Black Apron, limited availability coffees. It is a little different than what I usually have, but it is still very good.

It's because your still too young :p Coffee in youth tends to have the opposite effect.

[Transform me]

3 sugars
Irish cream

They're usually on tiny displays though, not mixed in with the other bean shelves. Ask about it, and your friendly neighborhood barista will be happy to, as they say, "hook you up." :D

Oh no it's VERY delicious, but will make my heart race more than Dale Earnhardt at the Winston Cup trials.

So wait, will they MAKE me said brew, or do I have to buy the whole beans and make it myself?

[RQ]

So wait, will they MAKE me said brew, or do I have to buy the whole beans and make it myself?They're offered whole-bean, but the employees can weigh and grind them for you in the store; just let them know what kind of coffee-filter you have (flat-bottomed or cone-shaped).
Here's what I'd suggest: I don't know if you ever bring a book or your computer and hang out at Starbucks, but if you're ever going to be in the shop for a while, ask them to grind and brew a coffee press for you. Coffee presses retain the natural oils of coffee, which get absorbed by paper filters. Plus, presses are aesthetically pleasing.
Otherwise, if you still want it, buy the beans and have an employee grind them for you, go home, and brew as normal.

[SentinelWatchdog]

Ah yes. I forgot to mention that you need it as a french press. Coffee is best that way. It's the only way I make it at home.

[BlackRosePhantom]

I like Mocha Cappuccino's with 2 Equals sugar subs. in it. Also, I prefer it hot, but not boiling water hot, but hot enough to still make you flinch a little if you spill some directly on your skin (especially on your hand).:buttrock: :beerchug: :buttrock:

[DethChef]

I prefer my coffee black or as espresso.

Did I mention I'm a coffee roaster?:) :)

[BlueScorpion]

im not too picky about that......

[sai-fujiwara]

I like strong coffee. Black. If I have a sweet tooth at that moment, I add coffee creamer. I don't really add any sugar unless it is at a place where they don't serve good coffee.

But that is for plain coffee, which I don't drink too often.

[A Fire in London]

I drop about 4 to 6 packs of sugar and at least 4 li' creamers into any coffee I drink. If it's not cooled by the creamers and sickeningly sweet I won't touch the stuff. I also only drink coffee from greasy spoons no fancy coffee shops for me. Anything more then a buck for an endless cup is much to rich for my blood.

[Cheater388]

I take any coffee that has medium stregth, add two sugars and fill it almost to the top with milk.

[Shalinda]

I dont care what kind of coffee i drink, just remember sugar and milk...
