Coffee Poll

[evil_physics_witchcraft]

How do you drink your coffee? I drink 2 parts milk to 1 part coffee. :)

[apl68]

One vote for "Ewwwwww."

When we go out, I usually get cream.  But my wife stopped putting cream in her tea and coffee at home, so I stopped as well.  At home I drink it black...but I wonder if it is better with cream...

[Larimar]

Lots of Splenda and non-dairy French vanilla coffee creamer. Thank goodness there are options for those of us with dietary restrictions!

[secundem_artem]

2 creams, no sugar.  OR a splash of one of those fancy schmancy salted caramel creamers I now see in the stores.

I've come to realize Starbucks is not really in the coffee business.  They sell mostly milk.  They just flavor it with coffee.

I've been using creamy oat milk.

I never acquired the taste for it. 

I have very recently fallen off the wagon and resumed the partaking of Dr Pepper, usually diet, sometimes not, (over Spring Break) but I had been, and will return to being caffeine free (as soon as I finish the stash I bought).

Before that, I had been making and drinking decaf tea

[saffie]

Usually with a touch of milk, no sugar, sometimes mixing in cocoa or cinnamon. Summertime I switch to making cold brew and have that iced with no milk.

[dismalist]

Black with sugar.

Why not in the poll? Vote[r] suppression! :-)

I drink my coffee black at home, as I'm aiming for a caffeine fix in the morning, not additional calories. But on the rare occasions we go to Starbucks, I order a mocha with whipped cream, and I'm fully aware that I'm ordering dessert.

There's also the question of how you brew your coffee. I recently read that unfiltered coffee has more of the oils in it that can be bad for cholesterol levels. So I got put my French press away and got a single cup drip that uses filters.

I wish the coffee industry would sponsor more research on this though, because I do like using a French press.

Since coffee has zero calories, and oil has 9 calories per gram, I wouldn't think that (1) there would be enough oil to make much difference; and (2) a typical home coffee filter would allow any oil molecules to slip right through.

The caffeine might be more of an issue for cholesterol, and a french press or filter don't affect that.

So, press away!

In other coffee news, a friend of mine swears by this gizmo.

Here is the $300 version if you're posh.

Sometime in the 1990's a psychiatrist told me 'don't consume anything with caffeine in it.' Perhaps some time before I'm dead I'll try her advice.

I have had used one of those. It is good for a quick and strong single cup. It is also good for disposing of the used coffee grounds.

Regarding the coffee oils: it is not the quantity of oil but that they contain diterpenes.
