    Espresso. Strong, creamy, very concentrated. In a tiny cup with just a touch of sugar. No cream.

    As a treat, I'm partial to Bicerìn, a coffee-based drink (and thus, definitively not a coffee) invented in Turin, which is made of espresso, hot chocolate and cream in equal parts, carefully layered.

    Ugh. Starbuck. The opposite of Italian coffee, sold abroad as Italian coffee. Three shots of espresso should give tachycardia to anyone.

    A bit of milk, no sugar usually. I'm drinking way more tea than coffee these days though, probably by a margin of 10:1 or something.

    Black and very hot. I like to home-roast and brew, but I'm no coffee snob; any old drip coffee is OK as long as it is not too weak.

    At home, with a bit of milk no sugar. If I'm out, I usually get a Caffelatte because it's easy to mess up and burn drip coffee, it's hard to screw it up when it's being buried in steamed milk. I used to make them at home until I fucked up my Moka pot by forgetting to put water in and watching the handle melt off (it was a catch-22. I couldn't use the thing properly until I had coffee, but I needed coffee in order to use it properly).

    Starbucks venti latte w/one pump of vanilla syrup, just to give it a tiny bit of flavor.

    Americano with a splash of cream. Or a hand pour over. Or drip. But always with a splash of cream.

    Just straight up real coffee, made in a coffee machine. I put in just enough milk to cool it down to the level where it's possible to drink, and just enough sugar so that it isn't so bitter I can taste the coffee grounds.

    :lol: I was going to say "Internally."

    As for Starbucks...I think I got hooked on it because there is a Starbucks inside my own store. So I naturally gravitated towards it.

    I like my coffee like I like my men: sweet and full of cream.

    I switched to herbal tea years ago. When I did drink coffee, I liked it black and strong.

    Just enough cream to change the colour, and sugar. Preferably from Starbucks. I may be a bad Canadian for this, but I never cared for Tim Horton's (though I'll drink it if there's nowhere else to go in my vicinity and I'm desperate), and the word "double-double" has never crossed my lips unless I'm ordering for someone else at the same time.
