I love coffee. I take it pitch black.

My grandparents were the ones who got me onto coffee when I was a teenager and they are living proof of the saying, "You can take the child out of the Depression but can't take the Depression out of the child" and believe the only correct way to drink coffee is cheap and black.

They put cream and sugar out for people who married into the family. 😛

Black as my soul (jk, kinda)
though I'm a total sucker for a peppermint mocha and other sweet drinks.
I am also very prone to boredom drinking coffee at conferences, etc that have free coffee out all day. In those cases I sometimes have to switch to decaf.

Always try not to laugh when people say they love drinking mocha because in Russian mocha means urine.
 
From the legendary user who brought us "Why bother with Osteopathic if MD is more acceptable and marketable?", "What GPA and MCAT gets an acceptance letter from HMS admissions?", and "If I complete an MD, but don’t want to practice, what are my career choices?" comes a whole new area of inquiry: "Who drinks coffee? How do you take it?"

God bless you, OP. Keep producing that quality content.
 
Usually only one cup a day, hot, black. A generic medium roast Folgers or something along those lines. When I want to use the many Starbucks gift cards I have been gifted as a student, my go-to is a cappuccino or flat white. On occasion I indulge in the sugar-sweet drinks, typically around the holidays (I don't care, judge me for by PSLs and premium hot chocolates).

Who doesn't drink coffee? In my city, most people survive on black coffee (+/- almond/soy milk) haha
 
Never got into coffee, too many days of seeing my parents on their 3rd cup by noon because they got massive headaches otherwise, aka withdrawal symptoms. Has saved me a ton of money too. I know too many people who get Starbucks every day then complain about how they have no money to do anything, spending 125 a month on coffee.
 
Coffee doesn't have to be expensive. Melitta single cup brewing cone: $5. Box of 100 coffee filters: $3.22. Bustelo coffee: ~$5/pound. If you use the cone every day for a year your cost comes out to less than 20 cents per cup. You'll also need a vessel for boiling water but every household should have some way of heating water.
 
I enjoy making Japanese-style pour over iced coffee. Got into grinding my beans/brewing my own coffee to save money and it’s turned into a great hobby. I look forward to my brewing “ritual” every morning.



Great video on the brewing method/recipe for anyone interested.
 
Iced (keurig over ice) with cashew milk and sugar free syrup (often pumpkin, which is not shocking based on my name)

For the record: I prefer black with sugar mostly if I’m not at a Starbucks or DD.
 
Black as night french press. There's a shop near my house that buys beans grown 15 minutes away, roasts em, and sells em by the pound. I'm so spoiled.

Last time I drank instant coffee I almost vomited.

That is because instant coffee is vomit. Even for backpacking, I got me a French press for my jetboil...

You are lucky. Although, are there places in the US where coffee can grow outside?
 
I wish I could have coffee but my stomach burns from it [emoji24][emoji24][emoji24][emoji24][emoji24][emoji24][emoji24][emoji24]
 
Just got a Nespresso Vertuoline on sale for $130 a few weeks ago. It’s completely changed my life. Used to drink only black coffee but got super burnt out of it and needed a change. Even comes with a milk frother!

Tea drinker.

But my hospital is small enough that it provides Keurigs with free Kcups of coffee in break rooms and tea as a job perk. They also gave everyone 20 oz Yeti tumblers as a staff appreciation gift last year. Didn't realize how awesome those were.
 
Instant coffee (or instant expresso) right out of the jar is great in old school butterscotch pudding (the kind you cook on the stove), brownies before you bake them, and stirred into plain yogurt. And that's how I take my instant coffee. 😉
@LizzyM over here reinventing the wheel with her instant coffee edibles lol

Instant coffee is great for baking! I have a chocolate coffee macaron recipe that uses it. And in the wintertime you can spice it up to make peppermint mocha macarons with some peppermint extract and crushed candy canes for decoration
