How do you like your coffee?

Really? My OB banned the substance to only once a week. To be honest, though, I didn't actually have the desire to drink it until I was finished with BF. Now, I love it super strong, with half and half and a tad of sugar.

Does whether or not and how much ketchup vs mustard you put on your burger really matter?

It is just a taste preference.

I take my coffee black, but I didn't say anything about people who choose otherwise. I like it black, that's all. Although I'll admit, I have seen people add so much cream and sugar that I wonder if perhaps they don't actually like coffee.

Is it my imagination, or is the world actually blurry until I have my first cup?

LOL. I'm with you, sisiter.

It's a dark, cold, fuzzy world I don't want to live in, pre-coffee.

Yeah, I was mostly a tea drinker per-baby but if you look up the suggested amount of caffeine while pregnant it def allowed 2 cups of coffee per day. I had 2 large cups of tea and one regular coke (only thing that would settle my stomach) daily and still fell within the amount

I like my coffee like my men: bitter, addictive, and greasy.

Kidding.

I drink it black or with a little cream. Can't stand sweetened coffee. I also prefer it in bucket-sized quantities.

Depends. If the beans are any good, then I take it black. If it's over-extracted truck-stop swill like 7-11, McDonalds, or Dunkin Donuts then with a bit of milk.

For drip / French Press I just drink it as it is, I don't add anything.

On the weekends we make cappuccino, espresso, cafe au lait, and latte's at home. We have a Saeco espresso machine that we have had for awhile now, but I think by the end of the year I will swtich it out. Our drip machine is a Technivorm Moccamaster (http://www.clivecoffee.com/category/technivorm.html) and I love it so!

If you are interested in some good beans, Espresso Vivace Dolce is quite good (http://www.espressovivace.com/blends.html) and I'm really digging Red Bird Coffee right now (http://redbirdcoffee.com/cardinalblend.html)

With half and half, a good amount, and slightly cooled off. Can't stand it too hot. I drink 3 cups/week, in the afternoon usually.
