Do you put cream and sugar in it?
I put so much creamer in it, I probably should just have a glass of milk. Do they sell milk with 100 mg of caffeine in it?

I drink coffee occasionally, with just milk. this morning, after "oversleeping" -as if one can oversleep and still only get about 4 hours sleep - and needing to be technically functional at 7AM, I had a venti quad-shot iced vanilla soy latte from Starbucks. the girls at the counter were surprised, I'm usually an XL iced herbal tea girl. Do they sell milk with 100 mg of caffeine in it?
not milk, but 5-hr energy drinks don't have a whole lot of calories to them.

I usually just drink it black, but I do like cappuccinos. If it's iced/blended, I go to town with sweeteners, flavoring and cream.

I don't drink coffee, but mother does. She takes hers with half-and-half.

DH is the same way and it's that International flavored creamer stuff. Yuck!
I put a 1/2 teaspoon of sugar, two heaping ones of Florida honey (it's supposed to help me with my allergies but it just tastes good) and a hefty amount of 1/2 and 1/2 or heavy cream - whatever I have on hand. I also add a couple dashes of regular cinnamon. I just call it breakfast.

I'm just used to people putting honey w/some lemon in their tea.

I've always taken my coffee black... I've tried it with cream and sugar... *gag* I'll even drink espresso unsweetened! I do occassionally order a latte, but again, no sugar. The alcohol has really killed your taste buds, hasn't it.

If it really helps with allergies then I'd be really screwed without the honey!

POM, I don't hate many foods, but honey is by far one that I do. I'm totally with @missmargarita on the no sugar thing. gross! I can deal with cream if that's all there is, but I prefer milk (less sweet) and lately, soy milk as I am trying to be dairy-free - I just feel better when I'm not ingesting dairy. @tbird - please educate me, thank you. I'm a fan of silk soy milk, I've never seen the creamer. what's confusing me is that one is vegan and the other isn't. are they the same label?

I don't function til I've had a cup. That is my first step as soon as I wake up, start coffee. I usually have 2 cups at home, sometimes one once I get to work, but more often during the colder months. I like it strong, black with just a little sugar. Once in awhile I like some of the flavored creamers, but not all of the time.

I don't put cream. But I put so much sugar that you can't taste coffee, it's just a sugary mud water. I also add lemon

I love coffee. Light and sweet which is all my mothers fault. When I was a kid (like 7-8 range), I used to beg my mother to let me have it. If I was really good in church my mother would let me have a cup of coffee afterwards. But only with cream and sugar in it, since having it black was surely bad for a child.

I drink a pot a day - couldn't function without it. No sugar - I do add some rice milk to buffer my tummy.

LOL! No, I just hate coffee with soy milk in it! I'd rather drink it black frankly. Growing up - my parents always bought 1/2 and 1/2, never milk in coffee - so the soy creamer is the 1/2 and 1/2 of the vegan world. I use it for cream soups, salad dressings, baking, etc. Everywhere cream is called for. Me and kids love the daiya! fav for me and ds is the havarti. Cheddar makes a perfect mac and cheese. For pizza, still prefer vegan gormet, but not the mozarella, the Monterey jack. Otherwise daiya. Could be I've perfected the pizza cooking with the VG, the dailya has a different time/temp for melting burning, and I haven't figured it out yet. interesting.......daiya jack instead of mozz for pizza? I didn't care for the way the mozz (didn't) melt when I tried it, and I do like the taste of monterey jack. I might have to try that soon, thanks! I picked up pepperjack today b/c my sis made this pretty damn amazing vegan bean dip this weekend that is totally going on my "lazy dinner" list! as far as mac 'n cheese, my sis found a vegan parmesan that she still has to try out. if it's good, I'll let ya know. both of us typically do up a salty dry parmesan (or grana padana) sauce for mac 'n cheese. she's recently been diagnosed with an auto-immune disorder that basically requires her to be dairy-free. we're both still learning the ropes! as far as milk vs. half and half in coffee, I never had a taste for cream in my coffee. I always found it TOO sweet, and I don't use sugar. I have to say though, since I started keeping soy milk in the fridge, I actually prefer the soy to regular 2%. and don't get me started on almond milk..... my sis just loves it though!

thanks, Rukh, I will look for it Swamp, my pepperjack's nutrition label says it's filtered water, tapioca and/or arrowroot flours, non-GMO various oils, and other pretty innocuous ingredients.

Hate that starbucks uses soy milk,
You mean bean juice? Milk comes from animals. Soy "milk" is bean juice. Appeals to some, not to all of us.
Yes, I drink coffee. With milk (cow's) and sugar.
Dunkin' Donut's regular...if you must know,,,
Milk and two sugars...although I don't use a trowel to (or shovel) to achieve the two sugars...

What is non dairy cheese made of? unicorn milk! That wasn't a unicorn's horn that provided that. I'm just sayin'. Disclaimer: I really, really tried to not comment on that but I just couldn't help myself. I blame all the bad influences that are here for corrupting my innocent self.

I like iced coffee with skim milk. In the winter I'll stick with green tea and have a skim latte as a Friday treat. DF likes a red eye, black.
