Anybody else like non-sweetened, non creamered coffee?

Post Reply New Topic

I drink my coffee without any creamer or sugar in it, because I like the natural, nutty flavor of the brew. I find I appreciate different varieties of coffee more when just drinking them plain. I figure if its too bitter or too acidic, its an issue with the coffee, not an issue of what artificial flavorings and creamers and synthetic sweeteners I dump into it. I'm not kidding about the artificiality either. One time I bought a coconut flavored creamer, from a health store nonetheless, that had titanium dioxide listed as an ingredient. Last time, I checked, heavy metals aren't a food.

Anyway, I have this sense I'm in some minority here, concerning how I drink my coffee in contrast to the mainstream, Starbucks coffee drinking culture. So, I figured I'd add a poll to see how much of a fringe I'm apart of.

BTW, "sweetener" in the poll can mean sugar or artificial sweeteners, like Aspartame or Splenda

"creamer" can mean actual cream or artificial creamers, like coffee-mate or titanium dioxide.

Only black and very strong. Starbucks is good Extra Bold!

I only drink my coffee black. I don't add anything to my tea, either. I don't really like super sweet drinks.

As may be obvious, I like to drink plain flat whites. Just espresso and microfoam.

Black all the way. Mustn't pollute the coffee.

I drink coffee with a dash of milk, does that count as a "creamer"?

I prefer my coffee unsweetend with cream, but if I am out of cream I'll have it black, rather than with milk.

Only use creamer. Sugar's not allowed on the diet I'm on(and if I cheated I wouldn't waste the opportunity on coffee anyway), and the artificial stuff they've got has terrible aftertaste - kind of like that diet soda ****. Ugh.

I take no sugar, but I mix my coffee with 1/3 lactose-free milk. It's easier on the stomach.

I like it with cream and sugar, nevertheless, I do love THIS "Black Coffee:"

I just add a little milk so its not too strong. No creamer, no sugar.

Black, always. Coffee is too expensive to contaminate.

Dark roast, very strong, nothing in it.

Depends. If it's a cheaper variety, then I'll add a little creamer. If it's the quality stuff then it's black all the way.

I wonder what that cat poo coffee tastes like. They say it's the most expensive coffee you can buy.

Most of the time I drink black coffee with no sugar. I do like a latte once in a while.
