And I drink my coffee chock-full of milk and sugar.Jonluw said:

Anyway... I've never really been much of a coffee drinker. I do drink coffee-ish beverages every now and again, but I prefer to rely on things like real food and a good night's sleep to give me energy.

I like your version better.
I like the taste. I like to start my mornings with coffee with some Vanilla cream no sugar. I like vanilla and i like the bitterness of coffee. Black is interesting but i cant always have it that way since it bothers my stomach.
Funny, i was just about to leave The Escapist for a moment when i saw this thread's title, then i noticed the cup of coffee in my hand.
Yes, i do like the occasional cup of coffee. Though mine is incredibly weak, and filled with sugar. It's cause it has a sugary taste, with some bitterness. Pure delight.

Well, as a recommendation, start with cappuccino probably, then after a while, coffee with milk and sugar, then just milk, and then black.
In my case, that's because their ice coffee is heavenly, with just the right [to my taste] blend of coffee and maple syrup (or is it another ingredient ?).Dimitriov said:
As for the OP, something easier to start with is macchiato because it has a lot of milk, so it's much sweeter to the taste.
Coffee is not actually as bitter as most people make it these days. Most coffee is in fact burned and therefore it tastes bitter but well made coffee is not nearly as bad. I am in total agreement with you in that Starbucks coffee is shit in general.
Most often I use something along the lines of this:

and run hot water through it (run the strained coffee through more times for extra flavor) instead of using a machine. This comes out a lot less bitter.
I learned this method from my mother who is Puerto Rican and developed a taste for it because I started drinking it at 12 but everyone has their coffee preferences (some like it really bitter, I am looking at you Germany), just don't use Starbucks as a representative for the rest of the drink, they are a blemish on the face of coffee.

70% milk, 20% coffee, 10% sugar. Because I hate the bitter taste, but love the caffeine.

Ooooh... it depends on my mood.
Usually (well usually I drink tea, but besides that), lots of milk and a small amount of sugar. But then there's also lots of sugar with little milk, lots of both, or if I really am in the mood none of both, a really strong espresso brewed for about 10 minutes which blows your head off (or at least makes you go crosseyed and your jaw lock up for half a second) it's a masochistic pleasure..
Then there's something fun to do in the summer or on a hot day: make a normal coffee but add a lot of sugar and milk as well as a small amount of vanilla, then let it cool in the fridge and serve it in a glass with an ice cube in it (or even some icecream) and a straw or two.
