How do you take your coffee?

I like it strong and black, no cream, sugar or anything in it.

I had a male co-worker once who used to say, "I like my coffee the way I like my women - strong, undiluted, and black."

I ate at a restaurant in Atlanta Georgia and had the finest after dinner coffee of my life. So far. i can't decide whether it was the coffee, the coffee maker or the service, though I suspect it was the diversity of the three. The restaurant was dimly lit and the square tables were covered in white table linens. There were small candle lamps on every table and the silver tableware and china plates were prepared for dining when we were seated. The plate held a smartly folded white napkin.

After dinner the china was cleared and in lieu of desert I asked for coffee. I was never asked if I wanted decaf. It seemed to me that would have been considered bad form had I asked. In a corner of the dining area sat a silver canister about 36" high with what looked like a removable lid on the top and several valves with little spigots attached at the bottom. The spigots had porcelain handles and there were two large handles mounted on the sides. This was their coffee percolator and the waiter filled a small silver tea pot, set my table with a cup and saucer and also somehow mysteriously held a sugar container and cream in either hand when he motioned the sugar container in a slight but obvious way in my direction. I read his message cleanly and said "Just cream please" and he said "Very well sir".

The whole experience made me feel.... continental. And it was a most excellent cup of coffee.

Please write a book...I'll read it, I dont even care what it's about.

HA! Maybe I'll write one about a poor over worked everyday girl who cares after two of the meanest sisters in the south. The title will be Poor Little Miss Treated.

My most favorite way to have coffee is a flat white breve.
Second is a dark roast with sweetner and 18% coffee cream.
Medium blends are good too... As long as it's a decent brand of coffee.
Hot coffee and cold coffee, both yum!
*Note* flavoured coffee....blech. Thumbs down!

Black, and stronger. I use an AeroPress or French Press, or sometimes cold brew so it is already sweet.

And cold. Either cold brew, or pour it over ice after it has finished brewing. I don't like drinking hot stuff.

Fresh ground select beans brewed any way, with a little cream. I hardly drink it any more, and now I drink green tea.

French press is a good coffee maker. It's like you can see a coffee bean oil slick on the top. That flat white breve TamLynn wrote about is good too. It's kinda like espresso only not as course. I'll have one if I plan on being awake the next 72 hours.
