Creamer of choice…

[Twinboystrains]

My wife got me hooked on Cinna-bon flavored creamer. Otherwise I prefer whole milk. Straight from the bulk tank was the best!
So what are your favorite flavors?

 

[AirbrushNo5]

10% half + half …
But over the last couple years I have become hooked on these instant coffee packets…

 

[bnsf971]

Half and half.

Nestles Coffee Mate for me. I also use French Vanilla from time to time.

Creamer - err before I stared drinking my coffee black with no sugar I would use a little milk, rather than creamer.

 

[boatwrench]

Just black. The thicker tar like bottom of the pot having been on the burner all night the better.

 

[wombat457]

I like black but - not quite that black, I like to drink my coffee not eat it

I've tried and tried to go black. I keep reducing the amount of cream and sugar hoping to someday wean myself off all together.

I’ve found ( for me anyway) that only worked to a certain point. I was a heavy cream and sugar user in the beginning. I have been able to cut it back considerably, but not totally.

 

[CambriaArea51]

French vanilla or regular creamer.

Well military time underway in engine rooms and then working Graveyard Shift (11PM-7:30AM) at the bus yard got me hooked. Luckily since retiring I am down to two cups a day.

Coffee-Mate invariably sets my guts on fire…

When I was in the fire department, during cold weather all you got was black coffee. I learned to carry some sugar packets in a ziplock bag inside my turnout coat. At least the styrofoam flavored thick coffee went down a little easier. But did that stuff have some zing to it…it would help warm up your cold feet!

In the 1960's when I started drinking coffee, I was consuming 4-5 cups a day. Each with 2 spoons of
sugar and milk or cream. Then it dawned on me that all that sugar would probably kill me. The cream
or milk made me feel bloated all the time.

I decided to drink it black and went cold turkey. It was absolutely terrible for about a week but
got used to it. Really appreciate a nicely brewed cup of joe. Even drank it black from coffee machines.

Since my heart attack 23 years ago, I don't do caffeine so decaf it is. Doesn't bother me if it gets
cold in the mug-tastes fine that way also.

I think it is an All or Nothing thing. Like smoking, I woke up one morning and there was no milk BUT I'm a coffee addict (my cup is ALWAYS full. It was early and I couldn't be bothered waiting for the nearest shop to open so I had my first cup of black coffee with (probably 6 sugars or something, to prevent the bitter taste,

Eventually, I stopped using sugar as well and wallah Black, No Sugar

Both my uncles were Navy men - I learned to drink my coffee black right from the get go - but the spoon doesn't need to stand up by it self in the cup

 

[wombat457]

but the spoon doesn't need to stand up by it self in the cup

Nope it sure doesn't

That looks like heaven…would definitely have that black first to gather the full body. Will have to look for it here.

Jacobs is a German Brand, so you might want to try somewhere that has international brands.

Oh! If you think some American coffee is strong, this is a mild blend but will still let the spoon stand up on it's own.
