Depends on my mood. The cup I just finished was cold brew with cream and Splenda. I prefer sugar but I don’t taste sweet very well so I need a lot of sugar which is just unhealthy.
I honestly don’t know. I can never seem to get it right.
I just kinda splash some creamer in, and top it off with milk. It’s usually not very good, I’ll admit. But I still drink it almost daily in hopes one day I’ll get it right.
Agree try better coffee and try either more milk fat by going to half and half or cream OR trying it black if you get the really good coffee. Often the additionals are used to cover the bitterness of cheaper coffee beans.
I don’t. Coffee smells vile, and tastes worse, to me. I also can’t stand mocha, and I have no use for brownies that are contaminated with coffee either. Ick.
@werehatrack SERIOUSLY!!! When I was forced to drink it to be polite in the Netherlands I drowned it in milk and that didn’t really help very much. It is truly disgusting (as is tea and soda pop).
For “plain coffee”, usually black, occasionally with half-n-half. Pretty much never with sugar. When iced, I’ll occasionally add cinnamon or hazelnut or cocoa, sometimes just the flavoring and others as a flavored simple syrup.
But I like coffee very much, so I’ll drink it pretty much any which way. I’ve got over 20 coffee makers, though the french press gets used most of the time.
@baqui63 I kind of don’t want to know what my count is. Just in my office at work, I have two drip makers, a Nespresso, and an electric moka pot. Granted, not all of them gets used as coffee makers; these I use for hot water.
Also I’ve been using a French Press for cold brewing because I couldn’t find the one I bought here at meh.
Until they make a coffee that tastes exactly like it smells I’ll just have to stick with the coffee flavored sugar milk that Dunkin and Starbucks specialize in. Because, let’s be honest people, regular coffee tastes like hot canal water.
@mehcuda67 um…I once new someone who actually tried that once…(an EMT no less…)
lets just say they spent SEVERAL days in the hospital afterwards… “burned” some veins
the heat wasn’t the problem… it was the acidity…
zero stars… not recommended…
I stopped drinking coffee on the regular many years ago. When you have a splash of coffee with your cream & sugar (slight exaggeration) the calories couldn’t be justified! For a while I was drinking capichino, I considered that my coffee. In reality it was a sweet syrupy drink out of a machine at the convenience store. Ew gross , I know!
These days I’ll just take a sip of my guys coffee, he makes awful coffee so I don’t feel I’m missing out. When I’m REALLY craving a good cup of coffee, (2 to 3 times a year) I’ll go to Dunkin for a regular hot coffee which is with cream and sugar. Not the excessive amounts that I’d probably use, they’ve been professionally trained!
Just a dash of whole milk and about 1/2 tsp of sugar - if it doesn’t turn the right color (like madrone wood) and/or is too sweet then I know I’ve got bad coffee.
No no no no no no no no no no no no
NO coffee for me.
Not in ice cream.
Not in milk.
Not in anything chocolate.
Not in anything else I want to drink or eat
It is disgusting in smell and taste.
I’ll get my caffeine addiction by eating chocolate - that would be GOOD chocolate that has not been contaminated by that nuclear waste that some call coffee.
@earlyre@er1c
Be aware that where in-n-Out Burgers is present, the phrase “Double Double” is a cheeseburger with double meat and double cheese. There is an additional permutation, the “Double Double Animal Style” whose particulars I shall not elucidate.
@er1c@werehatrack Sounds Delish! but no In-N-Out within a LOOONG distance from me… like 1100mi. (unless i’m mistaken, the “nearest” to me is on Mockingbird in Dallas.)
Lately I’ve been searching for a replacement for dairy creamer that isn’t processed corn solids, and have settled on oat milk.
I’m currently working through various brands to find something that isn’t overwhelmed with flavorings (vanilla, sweetened, etc).
Hot, cold, doesn’t matter. Prefer cold brew, as I’ve been spoiled by PJ’s since the early '80s. Some creamer and a little sweetness. And definitely not using over-roasted charcoal like Starbucks makes. Even their “blonde” roast is burned.
Community “between roast” hits the right flavor notes for me. Although I won’t turn down some Kona peaberry estate, whether I’m on Maui or not.
@mike808 If I didn’t have a subscription to a local dairy with excellent, minimally processed milk,(or if i had the problems with milk others in my family do) I’d be using oat milk.
oat milk is excellent. Tastes better than almond milk, and way better for Mother Earth.
@earlyre Agree. Growing almonds is a terrible priority of use for limited drinkable groundwater in California.
I tried Ripple (pea milk), but it separates/curdles in hot liquids. Even their creamer product didn’t really work that well, and they only offered it in a strong vanilla and sweetened flavor, which tasted like melted ice cream.
I’m not a fan of the soy flavors and rice milk is just not creamy enough.
@mike808 I recently saw an article about potato milk, including a recipe ( so far only seems to be commercially available in parts of Europe…) Sent the article to my sister, as her husband is a potato farmer.
She said she’d “check it out”…
It sounded interesting at least… https://food52.com/blog/26532-what-is-potato-milk
Based on recent observations, I hereby submit a wild-assed guess that tomorrow’s Meh item will be Yet More Coffee Pods. So meh, such feh, very teh. Eh?
My parents were both coffee drinkers (albeit old-school medium-weak brew from a percolator), so I started drinking it at around 10 years old. I took it with sugar and milk and continued that habit until my late 30’s, when I tried out one of the low-carb diets that came into fashion. I was surprised that it only took me about 2 weeks of drinking coffee black to adapt and ever since that has been my preference.
Iced, preferably cold brew. Cream (or unsweetened oat milk) & Splenda on the road. At home, i make my own version of a latte with strongly brewed coffee kept in the fridge or cold brew concentrate when i feel like making it, 1:1 ratio with whatever unsweetened plant milk is on hand, Splenda & a couple pumps of sugar free caramel syrup.
Only on special occasions, at the end of a meal & in a restaurant, with Bailey’s and whipped cream. If I drank it every day it would eat my stomach lining.
Sugar free syrup and half n half
Black with TWO sugars.
Two Splenda packets and lots of cream. (half and half, actually.)
Depends on my mood. The cup I just finished was cold brew with cream and Splenda. I prefer sugar but I don’t taste sweet very well so I need a lot of sugar which is just unhealthy.
@ZeroCharisma So no variety in the men you take on?
@yakkoTDI Not really.
I honestly don’t know. I can never seem to get it right.

@LaserEyes If you “can never seem to get it right” either you are drinking really bad coffee or you don’t actually like coffee.
@LaserEyes @yakkoTDI
Agree try better coffee and try either more milk fat by going to half and half or cream OR trying it black if you get the really good coffee. Often the additionals are used to cover the bitterness of cheaper coffee beans.
1st cup: 2 tsps. French Vanilla powdered creamer & 1 tsp. sugar.
2nd cup: 2 tsps. Amaretto powdered creamer & 1 tsp. sugar.
Variety is the Spice of Life baby!!
/giphy spicy
Frequently
I don’t drink coffee
I don’t. Coffee smells vile, and tastes worse, to me. I also can’t stand mocha, and I have no use for brownies that are contaminated with coffee either. Ick.

Cleverly disguised as a latte.
You spelled TEA wrong
@tinamarie1974 NO! Tea is a different delicious beverage.
@yakkoTDI oh no, coffee is bitter and strong. Can’t drink it and do not understand peoples obsession with it.
/giphy sorry
/giphy not sorry
/giphy giggle
Minus coffee, add hot chocolate.
@kjady Yes!
@kjady Best answer!
Until they make a coffee that tastes exactly like it smells I’ll just have to stick with the coffee flavored sugar milk that Dunkin and Starbucks specialize in. Because, let’s be honest people, regular coffee tastes like hot canal water.
@bblood There is coffee that also tastes like hot canal water so you are in luck.
@bblood @yakkoTDI
Usually the kind that both smells and tastes like canal water is found at Starbucks.
Intravenously

With just a splash of milk.
Unless dinner coffee, then a little whiskey or rum.
@2many2no
Ahh ha! That used to be my ONLY way to drink coffee (or anything else), , then I got sober! Woohoo!
3rd wave poor over black. Preferably an Ethiopian heirloom, natural processed. A ligg-mediym roast. And ideally at 203 degrees F
Depends on the day and the mood.
I like some coffee flavor in my cream and sugar.
@hchavers Ah, a fellow man of good taste.
16 oz light roast arabica coffee brewed extra strong, 5 tbsp sugar, top off with real half and half
@edguyver14 5 TABLESPOONS of sugar??? Whoa!!
/giphy bounce off walls
@edguyver14 @IndifferentDude Very appropriate GIF
Two cream and two Equal
I microwave about 1/4 c. whole milk in a 16 oz. mug, then make drip coffee with a single cup filter holder into that mug.
So - with milk.
Down the sink drain
I like my coffee like my women. Tall and with red hair.
@TheCO2 I am going to risk it.
/giphy hairy coffee
@TheCO2 I take my coffee like my ex-wife; cold and bitter.
@macromeh @TheCO2
I like mine hot and black, with a touch of cream.
@macromeh @TheCO2
As Cards Against Humanity says:
If my coffee were any bigger and blacker, it would be an offensive stereotype.
@macromeh I don’t like my coffee chunky and angry.
@TheCO2 You’ve met my ex- ?
@macromeh @TheCO2
Wow. All four boxes checked: Cold, bitter, chunky, and angry.
Congratulations on the upgrade!
When you say “one cream,” is that like a single tit’s worth? Because that’s how I measure mine, but I just want to be sure we’re on the same page.
How many times do they need to poll this same question? Did they lose all the answers from all the other times?
https://meh.com/forum/topics/what-was-our-best-coffee-poll
@katbyter Probably each time they are thinking about giving us coffee in our future as a meh product.
One decaf Mcafe pod and @ one tablespoon Coffeemate.

@stolicat The fact that anything below 1 tsp of sugar could possibly be ‘too sweet’ makes me jealous.
Half and half with Spenda.

On the rare occasion I actually drink it, more cream and sugar than coffee.
For stressful times:
Splash of 2% milk
Squirt of honey (teaspoon?)
Heaping teaspoon of malted milk
on the road at Mac D’s Large with 3 creams and 3 sugars. else on the road Speedway 16 oz House black.
A fourth 2% milk, a fourth Italian Sweet Cream creamer, half strong coffee. If I an eating something sweet, then black coffee.
Orally.
2 cream, 2 sugar.
just the way Tim Horton intended
@earlyre say it right! Double double.
@er1c yes… i just didn’t want to have to explain it to the uninitiated…
even with the Double Double I feel guilty about putting “So much Sugar” in… then the guy behind me orders a 4x4…and suddenly I’m just peachy…
I guess as long as I’m Not Ordering a Gretzky…

@earlyre had to Google a Gretzky, yuck.

Occasionally with scotch, whiskey, or bourbon.
