I prefer a strong coffee, with milk, but no sugar.

If I'm making it myself, I put the coffee in first with a teaspoon of sugar and mix it with a bit of milk, then add boiling hot water.

If I'm ordering from a coffee shop (e.g. Starbucks), I'll usually get a flavoured latte. Now that pumpkin spice is back out, I'm unashamed to say I will be drinking many of those!

Iced drinks? Has to be a mocha frappuccino with coffee base, no cream topping.

My favorite way to make coffee is by brewing a pot and letting come down to room temp. I then add about half a gallon of 2% milk and a simple sugar syrup. I then refrigerator it over night. It makes about 3/4 of a gallon. But it makes enough for quick iced coffee on the go in the mornings for a week. Could definitely add shots of different flavors to it too.

I myself cant drink coffee do to an allergy, but my dad uses sugar, my sister in law uses creamer and milk, while my brother drinks it straight. I think he does it to see the looks of horror or on dad and sisters faces...

No sugar. I just add one percent milk because that's what we have around most of the time. Not too much, though. Coffee should be very, very strong. :D

It really depends on the kind of coffee and the day for me. I really like black iced coffee or cold brew.

Sometimes I will also add a bit of soy milk into my coffee, hot or iced.

Occasionally I will get a hazelnut coffee from The Coffee Bean.

Since it's fall, I've also been putting a bit of pumpkin almond milk into my coffee for a knockoff PSL.

First thing in the morning, black and made with a French press. Later in the day, I like a cafe latte.

Also, I recently tried making "healthier" pumpkin spice creamer--it's just oat milk, dates, pumpkin, and pumpkin pie spice blended up! It tastes amazing in coffee.

When following the keto diet, I use heavy cream. Other times I use half and half. I only like strong coffee, so if I’m out somewhere and they serve weak coffee (like at church) I drink it black. We make it quite strong at home.

I really like to switch up the way I take my coffee. Some days I drink it black, other days I pour in a little coconut milk, then on days when I’m feeling crazy I froth some coconut creamer. No matter what though, I always add cinnamon!

I really don't care for Stevia. It's actually TOO sweet.

Lately, I've been really into mixing unsweet coconut milk into my coffee rather than cream or regular milk. I add a bit of sweetness using sugar-free syrups from Jordan's Skinny Mixes. They have some amazing flavors! If the coffee itself is flavored, I just put some Sweet'N'Low or Splenda and unsweetened coconut milk in it so as to not disrupt the flavor.

I just consume 3 in 1 coffee in a sachet. So economical and yet it's tasting.

I love south Indian filter coffee. It's not too sweet or too bitter. Perfectly customizable to suit the mood by making strong or light.

I make my coffee with only 1 1/2 scoops per pot so it is weak. I then add creamer and Splenda. My old boss used to tell me I was drinking a candy bar rather than coffee.

I also like coconut or hazlenut sugar free syrups in my coffee but still add Splenda.

As a side note, there is no coffee that a person can order somewhere that I like. I find it all way too strong.
