I like mine free! At work we have a couple machines going and as long as you get a relatively fresh pot, I find its good "regular", one cream and sugar. At home we have a grinder and french press, and usually have a fairly dark coffee, but just a normal priced brand on sale. I have it with goat milk and a teaspoon glob of local honey.
How do you like your coffee?

I use a 6 cup Bialetti Moka pot. I use various coffees in it, but Illy's is a good start.
I don't believe in Half n Half. Use Heavy Whipping Cream instead.

First thing in the morning.
Columbian Supremo
With "real" heavy cream and Splenda

I started with cream and lots of sugar/sweetener. In college, my roommate was a big ag guy. No-name cheap coffee, strong and black, was his only way. I learned to adapt to it. Now I can't stand it unless is black as the night sky.

I save by not going to Starbucks as well.
The stuff I make at home is way better than charbucks, and a lot cheaper, too.

Yes , free . There are at least 5 supply / parts housed , in our trade , in town ( although we purchase mostly from 2 or 3 ) . All have coffee pots & some have popcorn " machines " . I fill up my Styrofoam cup each time I go to the supply house .
Being cheap & used to free coffee , it rubs me when I am traveling , to have to pay for coffee at the convenience store .

The search function needs tweaking....
If you just search for 'coffee' in the subject line, that thread comes up right away.

Black, hot from the pot. A splash of cool water.
And always the proper amount in my mug.

Just enough half and half to color it and one Equal.
Black and strong. No sugar, no cream

I'm a wimp, can't stand coffee. Maybe one day when I grow up I'll like it
But I don't need it to get up in the morning, just some water and I'm good to go.
I think people's bodies get too dependent on it. I'd hate to have that happen.

If you can't drink it that way, you're doing something wrong.
My machine has no pot.

Me either. Had 2 friends in college, one would tear your head off if he didn't have 4-5 cups right after getting up. The other one would drink 2 POTS of coffee before he was able to acknowledge anyone in the morning. Not for me thanks.
Me three. In retrospect, probably has some beneficial anti-oxidants that reduces the risk of various disease.
Never learned how to make a pot of coffee. First time was when I had the Duty Officer watch in port on a Sunday. The Captain happened to show up and wondered where "his" coffee was. At that moment I learned how to make coffee...lol. And any time I had the Duty after that, there was a hot pot ready to go.

Double Double if it's from a coffee shop.
Just a splash of milk/creme if it's home brew.
