skim almond latte or dirty chai for moi.
i don't go to coffee shops enough to know the fancy names, but a quaduple latte or something large with french cream or whatever. last thing i got from the Dutch Bros. by my friends apartment was coconut something. it was tasty. usually i just want something large,sweet, and with a kick, and I'll drink it all in five/ten minutes or so.
I only drink coffee for the high so it's black. I often take a glass of water to rehydrate.

I don't drink coffee, so I would get almond dirty chai water.
That's the spirit, William. Go for moonshine.
I drink mainly black coffee.

Water is key ingredient though taking into account over 90% of a cup of coffee is water, so get a fine one if quality is what you're after.
I pretty much never order coffee but I usually drink it black.
Reason is a whore.
Well if I'm lazy I get dark roast coffee at starbucks with a little cream added in, but recently I've got the equipment to manufacture my own coffee.
So usually I get whole bean dark/bold coffees; rich, earthy, bold, full-bodied type flavors
Then I grind the beans into ground and keep them in a jar
From which on occasion I'll use a french press to brew coffee (which is very simple to use)
This process is very simple for me and I do it regularly;
If I'm trying to be fancy I'll get some sweetened condensed milk and add it to the bottom of a glass and then pour in rich turkish coffee or french press brewed coffee.
Both methods of brewing usually have a very full body to them and leaves some silt at the bottom, with the sweetened condensed milk this usually falls to the bottom with the silt and creates a good combination.

Usually though I don't go into that much detail, I just do the basic thing.
Not trying to be all fancy-pants about it, I used to just use Mr.Coffee, but it would make shitty coffee and would require maintenance on the machine and stuff, a simple stainless steel french press I find to be a superior tool for coffee making.
That picture should give you an idea of how it works and why its simpler, unless your mechanically retarded.

thats pretty badass lucid. i wanna try coffee from a french press but i don't want to spend money on one.
btw i've made homemade creamer with sweetened condensed milk and vanilla almond milk and its really good. i'd recommend it for people who would use it enough but it goes bad too quickly for me to do on the regular. its really sweet so a little goes a long way.
Caramel Macchiato + extra shot or Triple Espresso
Yep I don't really like playing Martha Stewart too much so I rarely do fancy stuff but I find it really nice to be able to make a good cup of coffee at my place, especially when its a rainy day etc.
I like it Black. Like my men.
i get free coffee at work which i usually drink black (and drink all day long) so i rarely go to the coffee shop just for regular coffee.
unless i'm having a day where i want to get a coffee with a couple extra shots in it.
in which case i go for the dark roast and might or might not put sugar or cream in it depending on my mood.
I have to have sugar and cream or milk. never got into plain coffee.
Usual Starbucks order is a double tall peppermint mocha. Frappuccino for hot days. I don't really go to coffee shops very often though.
Normally black, double espresso before a long night out, caramel frappuccino if I want something very sweet
Obsequium amicos, veritas odium parit
Either black no sugar or a latte, yeah, there's no sense to that, no milk or lots.
When it's hot I have an iced latte no sugar and when it's cold I drink cappuccino with a little sugar.
I'm *very* picky about coffee though. I can't stand that ashy shit. The burnt beans must be removed by hand.

I don't have any particular coffee drink that I constantly buy; I tend to go for something not horribly expensive that may just as easily be tea-based. With that said, my most common choices have been cinnamon rooibos tea or lattes with vanilla or caramel syrup (usually sugar-free now).

For four years while I was working full time, I was getting Flat Whites every week day with the exception of a Cappuccino on Fridays. I've been told by people far trendier than me that Flat Whites are "such a suit coffee", hahaha. I've started ordering Cappuccinos as my regular hit since starting uni.
If I ever have instant, I almost always have it black, but we've got an espresso machine at home, so I don't have to worry about that now.
No sugars or sweeteners ever.
Skinny vanilla latte. I also drink a glass of water afterward.
Tall caramel macchiato.
And I would hide my face in you and you would hide your face in me, and nobody would ever see us any more.
Gingerbread or chai latte with obscene amounts of nutmeg. Fuck the coffee. Control the spice, control the universe.
--no can do black coffee, too bitter!
--i used to be all about mochas and caramel macchiatos, but (a) starbucks makes it WAYYYY too sweet and (b) even with half the # of pumps it makes me gain weight.
-- I read somewhere that coffee give you an insulin spike so if you put sugar in it, the insulin spike is going to make that sugar go straight into adipose tissue. (i.e. fat). So now it's only coffee + skim milk, UNsweetened, for me. But I do miss the lightly sweetened coffees!

Damn those belly bursters!!!
Tea, sugar, no milk plox.
black filter coffee beaucse mjy teeht should matchj my soul
Coffee's not really my thing. A couple months back I had a small cup or two with some cream and sugar and it wasn't bad, but it always seems to make me a little jittery and makes my stomach churn like a washing machine. Probably just need to drink less until I got used to it.

On a normal day dark roast with 2% milk.
On a fancy day, a vanilla and/or hazelnut latte (sometimes both, sometimes just one or the other). Starbucks gets them just right, in other places I ask for half the pumps.

I don't drink coffee but I dig coffee commercials.

Oh if we're talking about tea... In contrast to coffee, I definitely dont like sweetened tea -- i think it takes away from the flavor. I do enjoy a little milk in tea though... especially for spiced teas, like indian-style teas. Green or black tea i can drink with or without milk... i like it both ways depending on what i'm in the mood for.
