I grew up drinking coffee parents! The house smelled of fresh brewed coffee every morning which I hated.

 

My mom used to make my older sisters "cafe con leche"translates to coffee with milk, with hot buttered bread.  You boil the milk and and 1/2 cup coffee and 1/2 cup boil milk with sugar. 

 I myself did not drink coffee until I was in college and have not stopped!

 

I drink 2 cups every day one in the morning and one in the afternoon with creamer and no sugar.

 

I also tried the keto coffee, black with ghee butter, known as buttered coffee. It not bad. Smiley Happy

No--quit 30 years ago--found out I am allergic to caffiene so avoid it. But----I can still eat chocolate!! I do love the taste and the smell but it does not like me at all!

I sometimes drink coffee because I want it or if I'm cold.

My late husband loved coffee as did my parents.  Somehow, I never developed a liking for it.  I do drink pots and pots of tea, and if I drink soda, it's only Coke - I get my share of caffeine!

1 cup in the morning, and I'm good to go. Smiley Wink

 

Not a coffee snob - I'll do a flavored K-Pod or even some instant Maxwell House (with a few drops of International Delight Creamer)

I'm not fit to be around until I've had at least one cup of coffee in the morning. I like it HOT, dark and strong.

These days a couple of cups of coffee with fat free half and half.  Sometimes an iced coffee.

 

 

I grew up in a time when coffee was not villainized.  We drank it constantly and all the time.  If you went over someone's house, the first thing they'd do was put a pot of coffee on...night...day...it didn't matter.  One of my jobs as a kid was to put a pot of percolated coffee on for my parents every night at 9:00.  My dad would have his coffee and few Stella D'Oros and go to bed.  Never kept him up.  It never seemed to bother any of us.  To this day, i can drink coffee at night with no problem.

Never drink coffee and hate the smell of it.

The sweet tea myth started a few years ago. I was born and raised in the south and never knew a single person who drank sweet tea. We use lemon or sprigs of fresh mint.         

I don't drink coffee but my DD loves it and puts Premier Protein caramel flavor in her coffee. The flavored coffee creamers are so full of chemicals she avoids them.
