    How do you take your coffee?

    I like a little coffee with my caramel creamer, what about the rest of you?

    Re: How do you take your coffee?

    I can't stand coffee! Every once in a while, I will force myself to have a cup at work, in order to stay awake! When I do, I have to add so much french vanilla creamer that I can't taste the coffee. If I can taste coffee, there isn't enough crap in it yet.

    No sugar, flavorings, or sweetener. Just coffee and some half-n-half. I like a medium to strong flavored coffee.

    Yum!

    Re: How do you take your coffee?

    I've gone through so many preferences over the years. My current one, though, is quite brand-specific, although I have to switch up the coffee brands after each pound just because my tongue needs a new adventure:

    3/4 mug freshly made coffee (preferably in this coffee maker)

    1/4 mug Organic Valley brand chocolate milk.
    Drink Coffee. Do stupid things faster with more energy.

    About one an hour

    Bear in mind this is French/Italian coffee. By "short" I mean less than 50ml (1.5 US fl. oz.)
    At work it's free from the coffee machine. Slightly milky on arrival then black and short or very short for the rest of the day

    Out in the city in bars it's Expresso black and short

    At home I try to slow down so I use dehydrated coffee in a big mug with milk. Gives me something to sip while pondering over what I'm going to write on Internet

    At home, I put a little sugar and some creamer.. usually french vanilla, but sometimes caramel.

    that sounds amazing. Can you believe I've never been to a Starbucks?

    I only started drinking coffee for the caffiene but I am slowly cutting back on the creamer, in hopes that I will eventually like coffee for what it is. I'm afraid it will be a very slow process.

    .
    Starbucks is American. They serve lots of different sorts of watery coffee with cookies and brownies and muffins. There's lots of space to lounge around and magazines to read and it's a comfortable sort of place to go if you feel like something a little laid back.

    The first one I went to was in Malibu and the atmosphere was perfect for California. I sometimes go to the one in Stratford-upon-Avon in the UK and it's OK but there is an Italian coffee place just across the way with super cakes and mince pies and more often I go in there. There's a Starbucks in the Velizy 2 shopping center near me but Velizy is a rush-rush-high-tech place and Starbucks doesn't seem quite right.

    Where is Iowa, anyway?

    Iowa is in the midwest. Western neighbor to Illinois.

    Pretty state, though I've only driven through it and I believe once spent the night in a motel there. I don't think that really counts as a visit

    Re: How do you take your coffee?

    Seattle's Best is way better than Starbuck's imo, which I find too bitter.
    My favorite place for coffee is a family run cafe and they make it from Farmer's Brothers coffee.

    Re: How do you take your coffee?

    I use Starbucks espresso beans( from Costco) I grind. First cup is with milk and sugar, the rest of the pot I take to work and it's black. If I don't make the coffee I don't drink it.

    Can't se Starbucks being very big in Iowa

    I looked up Iowa. It sounds like the Beauce, the wheat-gowing area between Paris and the Loire valley. My ex father-in-law had a farm there.

    I can't see Starbucks being very big in the Beauce. The bars and restaurants are usually dark with small windows. It's like people turn their backs on the vast skies outside and seek something more secluded. Whereas Starbucks has big windows so you can watch the world go by from a comfy chair.

    BTW Starbucks in Stratford does sell mince pies, now I come to think about it.

    Re: How do you take your coffee?

    I have to say that I don't drink coffee no where near as I use to. If I do have it, it's only at home with whole beans and some kind of flavor, breakfast blend, French vanilla, something that sounds good or along those lines with nothing added.

    Ironically, Starbuck's bought Seattle's. That was about the time I gave up and started roasting my own from green coffee. Freedom to change roasts/etc. any day of the week without having to go buy more coffee and worry about it going stale (plus it's way better than anything I've ever bought at a store, ever)

    Re: How do you take your coffee?

    What I really miss is going to London and just ordering "coffee". It's sooooooooo much better than anything in America. A cappuccino is close, but somehow they make it better over there. LavAzza beans, maybe? I don't know. It's a perfect combination of creamy milk and bitter bite. Drop a sugar cube into the froth and it's heaven.

    Well there are Starbucks around here, I've just never been to one. There are some really great non-chain coffee houses though. but for the most part, I'm too cheap and I prefer to brew my own.
