I like my coffee strong, with half & half. I usually buy Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf Colombianor House Blend. I had to decaffeinate myself a few years ago, and to compensate for the lack of caffeine I try to buy really good coffee. I can buy the CB&TL coffee for $4 less at Target than it is at the CB&TL stores, which is nice.  I drink it at home in a large, red Portuguese mug.
As for the rest, I only went to a junior college for 2 years (but dh has a Ph.D, so I figure he's got the degrees covered in our family); dh is Mike; I drive an inferno red Town & Country minivan; my dd is Rachel and my ds's are Peter, James and John (the Transfiguration Triplets). There, now we can be friends!

What a fun thread!
I take a little coffee with my cream and sugar.  That's why I mostly drink tea, now--I really was drinking coffee *only* for the caffeine, not for the taste of the coffee itself.
I do like a slightly sweetened (shot of flavored syrup) cappuccino--but half the time at Starbucks what they call a cappuccino is really a latte with a tiny bit of foam, so I don't get one very often.

Moi aussi! There we go again!! I treat myself to one coffee a week as it makes me hyper! Sunday mornings - a strong coffee with as much cream and brown sugar as possible!

Italian or Central American style roast, brewed really strong, with about half a spoon of sugar just to take the edge off. Every morning. Just one mug. I usually don't even completely finish the mug. As strong as I brew it, it would probably eat a hole through my belly if I drank much more!

I do decaf because if I have caffeine too late in the day, I'd never go to sleep at night. I love my coffee "regular" as well. It's awesome that Dunkin' Donuts does that for you--one of the many things I love about Dunkin' Donuts. Oh, and Starbucks Mochas! My absolute favorite.

OK . . . true confession  . . .
I do not like coffee. Never have. Tried a few sips at one point. Haven't tried it since. I don't even care for the smell of coffee that much. But I put up with it out of love because dh is addicted to the stuff.
Now, knowing that about me, will you still be my friend, Maryan?

I am a tea and coffee drinker both. I make coffee every morning. But my 9 year old dd holds her nose every morning as she walks through the kitchen for breakfast. She can't stand the smell of it  !
I love my coffee to be strong, with one of
these yummy creamers!

I like my coffee with cream. Most of the time I drink coffee with milk because I forget to buy cream.

I don't drink coffee. I pretty much have the identical confession as Irene. People cannot believe that I never drank it - especially having made it through college without developing the habit.

You couldn't really get it wrong for me. I'll drink fancy starbucks-esque stuff if it is on offer, but as it seldom is, I'll just take whatever I can get. Out I usually add lots of milk or cream as it often seems bitter and like it has sat about waiting on a hot plate for a long time. At home, we use a french press, just cheap supermarket coffee as that is all we can afford, and I have been weaning myself down from half coffee half milk, to just a splash of whole milk.

I'm silly, we drink Maxell House coffe, from the big can, usually Bold - because - well, like I said, I'm silly....I live on Maxwell Rd. 
Seriously though, I brew it strong, press it, and take it with cream and sugar, from my big yellow mug, every morning! When I'm not pregnant, I have a second cup in the afternoon. If I'm out - occasionally I get a cafe mocha from Tim Horton's - or and Ice Cap when it's hot!

I drink tea all week, but on the weekend I splurge with coffee! I like it really strong with lots of cream and sugar! If I have something really sweet to eat with it, I'll take it black, with just a little sugar. I like the contrast.

KC brought us the most delicious Starbucks mochas when we met up at JennGM's... they hit the spot!!
And right now I wish I could be inhaling my coffee via PDyer style (aka via IV)...
I forgot to say that I'm switching to Mystic Monk coffee (it tastes more like Starbucks) which is not my preference... but I like where my $ is going. My fil and I have been sampling different ones on Sundays. But... I still take it loaded. (Colleen they do have some fair trade coffee too).

Blond and sweet for this somewhat sarcastic brunette!
And it has to be decaf or, as I tell the little baristas, "I will come find you at two o'clock in the morning and poke your nose"!
