Poll: Do You Like Your Coffee Black?

This week’s poll question is “Do You Like Your Coffee Black?”

A few years ago, I’d load up my coffee with so much sugar and creamer that a few times friends asked if I wanted coffee with my cream and sugar.

Now, I drink my coffee black unless I’m in a scary place where the coffee is so bad that I have to hide the taste with cream and sugar. With good coffee, I never need any sweeteners or flavored creamers, things like that cover up the flavors and characteristics of a bean.

Why do you drink your coffee black? Or if you add sugars and creamers, why?

Last week’s question was “Do You Drink Decaf?”

Sixty-nine percent of you said that don’t drink decaf.

I honestly don’t think I have ever had decaf. I simply enjoy the caffeine in my coffee. Speaking of…..Time to get some coffee

Un said:

Decaf? Hell no!
Joke for you from my 5 yr old daughter. “Do you know where to keep decaf at?”
“No”
“In the de barn next to decaf!” Ha ha ha…Uhm yeah, pretty lame but shes only 5. But she does help me get the coffee pot ready for morning and she knows how to brew a great pot of coffee.

Jason Coffee said:

I don’t drink decaf at all. The main reason is not because it doesn’t have caffeine, it’s because it has no flavor. I have yet to find a decaf with any redeeming quality to it at all. I wish I could because then I could drink it close to bedtime. Oh well. There is always my chamomile tea for a late night beverage.

I wish I was one of those people that could drink caffeine until bed time with no problem but then again would it do as good of a job waking me up in the morning?

Jennifer from Daily Demitasse said:

Decaf coffee is an oxymoron to me. I mean, what’s the point of drinking coffee at all if it’s not fully caffeinated?

Nate said:

I have only tasted a few decafs, and none of them were very yummy at all! Even one from one of my favorite roasters tasted like half a coffee, it was obviously missing a huge chunk of flavor. Sadly, there are those forced to endure the awful imitation of our favorite beverage, and hopefully there is some decent stuff out there. I’ve found some that scored pretty decent with other reviewers, but I can’t vouch for them myself.

Extreme John said:

Not acceptable. I don’t even consider it coffee All though I really have never even tried it before.

BWJ said:

Decaf is like non-alcoholic beer. Not sure why it exists.

However, twenty-two percent if you said that you do sometimes drink decaf.

Karen @ Blazing Minds said:

I must admit, I do drink Decaf, it’s mainly last thing at night, otherwise the caffeine keeps me awake all night

And nine percent said that you drink decaf.

Geri said:

You must have been listening to my doctor Friday afternoon he was telling me caffeine is not good for my bones. I’m trying to get enough calcium and vitamin D in my diet so now I’m going to add decaf and hope it makes a difference. Put me on the “decaf list” as of Friday. Not my idea just following doctor’s orders.
