Sometimes I add a bit of milk, or sugar, if it is shitty instant stuff, or something from Costa/Starbucks though.

I don't like coffee. Always found it to bitter. I prefer tea and if it's really hot outside I'll get a Chay Yen (Thai iced sweet tea).
---

black
though at starbucks I get a bit of 2% because I don't care for their brews as is
---

Boil water, put tea in, let it brew for a while and add very little milk.

try a coarser grind. i find when i grind too fine and use my press i over extract, leaving some bitterness

that's true, if the grind is too coarse it's easy to under extract, leaving the coffee lacking in flavor. it took me a few tries to get it right.

FWIW, i use a hand grinder that lets me fine tune the coarseness and gives a much more consistent grind than an electric grinder that basically just pulverizes the beans
---

Cream only. No sugar.

How many cups do you drink a day?
---

Black and strong. Drink between 8 and 10 cups a day on average. (Medium size cups, though.)
---

If we're talking about just coffee, then black. Maybe a little sugar if it's especially bitter.

But I have a massive sweet tooth so I'm not above filling it with sugar and creme sometimes.
---

I recently got a coffee machine that also brews from the beans. I never knew how much better coffee tasted :o

I only drink one in the morning. More than that and I have a horrible case of insomnia that night. Its weird.

Irished up.

for you french press folks how long do you usually leave your grinds in for? I started doing a 6-8 minute steep before pressing and it's pretty nice
---

1 1/2 scoops sugar and some regular half n half
---

Black. Preferably hot, but I'll drink it at any temperature because I love caffeine.

Same. About 5 minutes.

Another key is don't put boiling water in it. Wait 30 seconds after the kettle (if you are using one) whistles.

I do water fresh off the boil into it if I'm doing the 6-8 minute, otherwise I wait about 1-1.5 minutes before pouring it in if I'm doing 4 minutes. sometimes i'll 'bloom' the grounds for 30 seconds before pouring the rest of the water in for 4 minutes

I think the recent beans I got need the longer steep though
---

Cold and bitter, just like my women
---

I like my sugar with coffee and cream
---

When I'm home I make espresso on my little machine and add ice, milk and flavored syrups.
Sometimes I add caramel or Hersheys syrup to the top.
At work I use flavored creamers.
---

Pure black
---

Most of the tike black bit when i feel fancy i boil some pieces of ginger, make coffee with it, add dark cacao, milk/cream and some honey.
---

I don't take coffee.

I give.
---

In a 48oz coffee mug. It doesn't matter what's in the coffee, I just want a lot of it.
---

I like my coffee black just like my metal
---

Just a bit of vanilla flavoring. No cream or sweetener
---

In the trash, because our office keurig is making some gross coffee
