I take it black if I don't go to 7-Eleven. If I do go to 7-Eleven, then it's three Irish Cream or French Vanilla flavored creams. Their coffee is not very good otherwise.
My favorite all around coffee is the Holiday Traditions/Winter Blend coffee from Borders Bookstore. My friend Nathan turned me onto that. I wish they had it year round .

Milk and sugar, the coffee here is too strong to drink black. I've seen tourists order "American" coffee, that means they cut it half with hot water before serving.
The rest of the family drinks it estilo campesino, that sort of means farmer style and is coffee with sugar, milk and white cheese in it.
Oh yeah, usually it is Café Olimpo because that is made out here close to where I live.

I had to go with cream and sugar, since Milk wasn't a choice. I'd drink cream if it wasn't pure belly expander. So I switched to cream. X-large 3-1 in timmies speak.
Can I get a cheer for timmies from my northern brothers and sisters?

i became accustomed to black coffee while flying 19.5 hour missions in the Air Force. (It was either that, or accept the flight surgeon's offer of a prescription for speed.) Needless to say, if it wasn't strong to begin with, it was strong after being kept on the warmer for a few hours. haven't seen any need to change.
I used to drive truck longhaul. I got used to what we called 40 weight, just 1 step away from sludge. If it don't eat away a spoon it just ain't right.
I voted for "cream and sugar" only becasue there was not a "so much cream its white and so much sugar the spoon stands by itself in the center of the cup" option! I technically don't like coffee, but with enough milk and sugar to disguise the taste, its not so bad!
BTW, everyone talks about how good coffee smells when its brewing, so why does it smell like fresh road-kill skunk to me?

Allen, something must be wrong with that smeller of yours! There is nothing no better than waking up to Folger's in your cup! Seriously, I love the smell of fresh brewed coffee, gotta have that first cup in the morning to give me a kick start!
I like my coffee black, I like it iced, tripple shot, chocolate coffee beans and I also like get this, TEA. Anykind but I've got to have sugar in it. I wish I had some of the income off these coffee houses.
