How do you sweeten your coffee?

[cjwright79]

Your coffee that you drink, perhaps in the morning, perhaps in the evening, perhaps even both.

I take it black / I don't even drink coffee

White sugar / artificial sweetener

Brown sugar / demarara sugar / cane sugar / other sugar

Liquid honey / white honey / creamed honey / other honey

Syrup of some description / something else entirely

[spike1point5]

I drink, on average, over a litre of coffee a day.

XL Black coffee in the morning, with 3 espresso shots (830ish)

the same about half an hour later, then the same at around 930

a large black at about 10, plus a few of the XL+3 between then and lunch

same at about 3, maybe an extra shot

an espresso in the evening if I'm being very classy and pretentious :P

The coffee I make at home, if I have time, is flavoured with hazelnut. Other than that I add nothing to it, unless its as part of a dinner out, at which point I might have some alcohol added

Also, not just evenings and mornings.. afternoons to. probably 3-4 times a day.

[swiftsaver602]

White sugar. I'm offended that white sugar and artificial sweeteners is in the same category...artificial sweeteners ate not even close to being similar to sugar lol

[crazybastard]

i know me too!

[cjwright79]

sorry!

[DebiPie]

In the a.m...a teaspoon of cream.

In the afternoon...sugarfree syrup & cream.

At night...irish cream.

[cjwright79]

Irish cream sounds good, I think I'll give you Best Answer

[DebiPie]

Thank you for B.A...I'd rather you give me Irish cream, please.

[cjwright79]

Do you like Baileys too?

[DebiPie]

Yum!

[DebiPie]

And Kahlua, yummy.

I used to use vanilla soy milk and stevia (natural zero calorie sweetener), but then I found out that soy can increase estrogen levels in the body, so I switched to Lactaid whole milk since I'm pretty much lactose-intolerant. And now instead of stevia, I use Ovaltine Chocolate Malt powder to sweeten it.

[ZenQueen]

in general white sugar, when I worked at a cafe I got used to it without any sugar, I prefer it that way, but now that I don't drink it so often I think of it more like dessert so I put in lots of sugar and milk..sometimes icecream... it's basically not coffee anymore, lol

[DishLady]

If I say "by sitting next to it" you'll all give me thumbs down, lol.

I used to take it black. Now I like it "tan" -- a bit of skim milk and agave (non-honey sweetener). If Agave's not available, a little cinnamon and cocoa, which is available at any random Starbucks. It's a little healthier than sugar and gives the coffee a little kick.

[cjwright79]

I don't give thumbs down for much else than aggressively stupid / rude / banal remarks :P

[DishLady]

Thanks, lol. How do you take your coffee?

(Actually, you know this is a psychological interview question. Apparently the person who interviews you can tell most of what he/she needs to know about a candidate based on eye contact, facial/body language, and how they take their coffee/tea.)

[cjwright79]

Creamed honey myself. It takes some stirring to get it to melt but it's well worth it.

[DishLady]

Yes, I know; they use that a lot in parts of Europe.

[Love_is_in_the_air]

i don't drink coffee :/ but here's a little ass :D link

[cjwright79]

:O

shocking!

[palek]

Sweeten my coffee with a morning kiss

Soften my dreams with your sighs

Tell me you'll love me for a million years

Then if it don't work out

Then if it don't work out

Then you can tell me goodbye

Where does that come from? Hard to find a better song.

[MilaPohstro]

Honey is really good in coffee, I like it, but I love milk that is my thing. I also just do like one teaspoon of white sugar, I don't like my coffee too sweet.

I don't drink coffee a lot, on average once or twice a month.

[kittymuffs]

Cane sugar, or some kind of sweetened coffee creamer that has syrup in it.

[cjwright79]

oh right I know what you're talking about, like hazelnut creamer

[kittymuffs]

Yes, I love that stuff :)

[samhradh_leannan]

I adore coffee, but I don't drink it often because I'm not supposed to for medical reasons. But when I do have it, my favorite is with cream and cane sugar (I try to use raw organic sugar).

[Shpongolia]

I drink coffee everyday. I like it strait black and original like its meant to be. I don't really agree with how "taking it black" and "I don't drink coffee" are in the same category.

[Kennybobennie]

Great alternative to drinking coffee but not liking the overwhelming bitter taste:

3/4 Coffee + 1/4 whole milk + 2 sugar + one tbl sp. of Mocha or Coco mix = Hot chocolate with an coffee under-taste.

[musicbrain5]

Regular white sugar for me and some cream. That's it. I find alternative or artificial sweeteners don't do it justice. I tried stevia once and it was gross!

[ben890]

The creamer I use is usually sweetened, then I add some white sugar. Cane sugar when I can, but f*** is it hard to find when I'm around coffee.

I avoid artificial sweeteners like the plague.

[vishna]

Lol some of the guys on here are gross, it's a coffee question! Coffee not anything else.

I sweeten my coffee with a good spoonul of plain white sugar and vanilla or hazelnut creamer.

[ElijahCynicism]

I take it with a little... HOMOSEXUAL TENSION.

Nah, like... Milk, man.There's no option for MILK.

[cjwright79]

O_o

[ElijahCynicism]

;)

[FierceMegan2]

LOL! I want to hug you.

[drummerdude25]

A lot of times I don't. Sometimes tho, I'll just add a bit of milk, and occasionally I'll try a coffee cream of some kind...

[FaceInTheCrowd]

The good stuff I like straight up black =)

The acidic, wimpy low grade crap I sometimes put those vanilla creamers in =)

[aMuse]

I take it black, generally with Splenda to sweeten it.

[CuriousEddie]

Funny how answer A is two opposites. People who like the full flavor of coffee drink it straight, and yet you lumped it in with those who don't drink it at all.

[cjwright79]

meh with only 5 poll options it makes you compress the options

[windy-rose]

Straight up black, or with a little cane sugar and cinnamon.

[shirkdeio]

Recently, just a bit of flavored cream (French vanilla!)
