I was never a coffee drinker until I was well into my 20's, but now it's pretty much my lifeblood. I love it any time, any where...hot, iced, it doesn't matter, but just strong and black for me, please. I do like a good flavored coffee, but no added cream or sweetener. Every now and then I will grab a mocha or PSL from Starbucks, but that's maybe once a month or less. I have recently discovered their Pumpkin Spice Cold Brew, and oh my gosh, it's soooo good, just the perfect amount of sweet.

So where are my coffee lovers? Are you celebrating? Tell me about your favorite coffee!

Never acquired the taste. My cousin and I always said we failed a class required in education back in the 70's... "coffee 101". However, she did teach over 30 years but she was the oddball that didn't drink coffee.

My "coffee" of choice is Dr Pepper.
 
I’m not a coffee drinker at all, my drink of choice is either diet coke or iced tea. It’s partly cause I’ve never been into it but now it’s just too much effort to have any hot beverages out now that I’ve been lactose free for nearly 9 years and not into alternative milk options apart from lactose free milk which I’ve only seen offered in one place.
 
I have never been a huge coffee drinker, but I do enjoy drinking a cup once a week or in social situations. I prefer to drink coffee at home, because I love the coconut creme creamer we have and don't really care for other creamer options. LOL

Had my obligatory "Coffee Day" cup today!

I have to have my 2 cups in the morning before I can function. Sometimes, I have a 3rd cup in the middle of the day, but not always. I like Half n Half and 2 Sweet n Low's in mine. Love this cute PRD coffee element that I just got.

EVERYDAY is coffee day! ;) I really like the pumpkin cold brew too- but I usually get all their drinks half sweet! My go to at home is french roast from the Keurig with some whipped cream on top- and maybe some nutmeg on top! ;) MMM.... I think I'll go make another cup (on my 3rd!) ;)
 
I tried the pumpkin spice cold brew at Starbucks. I am not a big pumpkin spice anything but I LOVE cold foam ANYTHING. LOL!!!!! I didn't grab a picture though.
 
I loooove coffee. DH and I subscribe to a monthly coffee sub. box so we get to try new-to-us coffee every month. Plus of course I have my usual brewed coffee in the morning and my Keurig cup in the afternoon. This afternoon I had one of the pumpkin spice K-cups. Yum!
 
Y'all enjoy yourselves! I'll pass. Most coffee ever passed my lips has been 3 sips on two different attempts.
Result?

For most of my adult life I was a tea drinker (still love it) and went decaf about 15 years ago. About 2 years ago I had my first iced coffee and was hooked. Then PSL came into my life! I make it at home and am drinking about 3 venti sized iced ones a day - decaf made with pumpkin spice then chilled and with sugar free vanilla creamer. I will admit I also loved @gonewiththewind 's Coconut Creamer but had to order it from Amazon as I have never found it locally.

Went to see Downton Abbey, the movie today and had a ...Dunkin' Vanlla Coffee (iced). Excellent celebration and one of my rare bits of caffeine. Since both The Durrells of Corfu and Poldark return with two new seasons tonight I'm set to be able to stay awake!
 
I've had to give it up a few times for health issues but I always go back, even if it's just for my morning cup. Cold and frozen coffees are big treats, for those days I just don't care how many ways I'll pay for it :-D

Another treat is saving my pennies to buy really good coffee - Jamaican blue mountain, or anything from the Death Wish Coffee Company. Which, hey, now that I don't have someone else around to drink it all up, I should see about ordering some :-D
 
I just can't sadly. I really wish I liked coffee because it seems like the perfect jolt I could use in the mornings, but I just hate the taste.
 
Mmmm, coffee! I didn't start drinking it until I was almost 30. I started when we moved to NC after living in FL all of my life. I got so cold in the winter that I wanted something warm to hold in my hands. I didn't care for hot chocolate or tea so I tried coffee! I have one cup in the morning and sometimes a cup in the afternoon...sometimes hot, sometimes cold. I like a little bit of creamer in mine.
 
My morning brew of choice is tea, but I'm a "go out to Starbucks & meet friends" coffee drinker. I like skinny vanilla lattes (hot or iced) but will occasionally indulge in a peppermint mocha or white chocolate mocha. I sometimes have an afternoon coffee at home but it's just instant coffee with either sugar free chocolate or peppermint mocha creamer.
