when i feel good in the morning i start making the best coffee evah, srsly.
my recipe is like this:
1(one) full teaspoon of black coffee for every cup of water

i pour the COLD water in the coffee pot and put it on the gas stove range with low fire...
put the coffee on top of the cold water and spread it around evenly (the water being cold, the coffee wont go in the water).
then i half a teaspoon of sugar for every cup of water, but i will put that on the side of the coffee pot so that the coffee wont blend in the water and it will still be on top of the water).
after this i will fire it up a bit and wait. soon enough there will be a even crust of coffee across the top of the water which will start boiling... as minutes pass by, from sides the coffee will blend in the water slowly and at the end there will be a foam rising until it will eventually go over the coffee pot. exactly before it goes over you take it out of the fire and pour that foam of coffee evenly in the cups, you can use the teaspoon also.. that will give the coffee a very nice flavor...
after you do that you put the coffeepot back on fire, and let it boil for like 3-4 minutes more, the foam being taken out will not go over again... when the time passes you take the coffee and pour it on the foam you put in the cups, it should be a very strong coffee with a nice taste the foam gives...
sorry for my stupid english, not a native speaker.
cheers

How does everyone drink their coffee? Just straight black coffee?

so many people drink coffee.. i just dont get it, is it something you have to drink a lot to get used to? i just really dont enjoy the taste.. but theres so many options out there it seems like a fun thing to enjoy. also, what nutritional info is in your standard cup of coffee?

I do. I used to use sugar, I never liked cream. It first became a convenience thing, a lot easier to just get it black and on the go, plus you are easy when other people buy you coffee...then I started liking it more and more black, and so now I just get it black. Not to mention that we have so much sugar in our diet we don't need to add more.

Yeah, you might have to drink it a bit before getting used to it, but if you dont like it dont drink it, it's as simple as that. I have friends who don't like it but feel obligated to drink it when they go out for coffee with friends/clients/etc...I can't imagine doing that, if I don't like something, I'm not going to drink it. If you don't like it don't sweat it...as far as health goes, straight up coffee is just beans and water so it's healthy. The double vanilla mocha latte with extra syrup you get at starbucks is not. Should be pretty obvious.

I like it with just the tiniest dash of cream & sugar. Not enough that you can really taste it, but it just balances the bitter and rounds out the flavor a bit.
Also a leaf of mint or skin of lemon on the side is the perfect accompaniment - you don't eat them, just the scent of them gives a very light note to your sips which makes the coffee taste better.

The majority of the time, I take it with vanilla Silk (or the Costco equivalent). If I get a coffee in a shop or the Starbucks urn coffee in the work cafeteria, I'll add a little bit of lowfat milk and a Sugar in the Raw or two.

If I'm having dessert, or am otherwise in the mood, I will take it black.

The clear solution to this is the Chai Tea Latte.

Dunkin Donuts is hands down the best coffee ever.
