I have it medium strength with full fat milk or cream with 2 sugars. I like it with a bit of milk and squirty cream on the top with 2 sugars too.

1) Medium strength, no milk, no sugar
2) Really strong, mix with dash of boiling water and one spoon of sugar to dissolve, top with ice cold milk.
3) Mediun strength, one sugar, two spoons of instant hot chocolate, fill with hot water and top with a dash of milk.
ummmmmm coffee. I'll have to try it with cream too.
milk is put in AFTER the water otherwise it cools the water down and the coffee doesnt dissolve properly, leaving floaty brown bits on top (if drinking instant anyway)
coffee = :yuck:
HArdly touch the stuff these days - love it, could drink it all day, but too much caffeine is a baaaaaaad thing. I don't keep any coffee in the house because I can't trust myself with it - I'd be having 10 seriously strong cups a day if I had any.
So I drink plenty of tapwater instead. Coffee is reserved for when I visit my grandmother, father or sister. And the occasional cup when having lunch at uni.
milk
hot water
did you see the thread about the quality of tap water? :shocking:
Unless I'm at work, then just lots of sugar and hazelnut vanilla cream.
that sounds divine!
But when I did, it was milk, 2 sugars...same as tea.
Nope, but it tastes alright here. I've been in enough food factories to know that if you saw how anything you put in your mouth was made, you'd willingly starve yourself.
Anyway, I often ride with my visor up. I enjoy eating flies
Apparently, if you pour the milk in first, you 'boil' the milk therefore changing the taste of the coffee... and you're not meant to use boiling water on coffee - using 'freshly boiled' water makes a much nicer cup.

But on weekdays when I need an eye opener, I use four times as many grounds and don't add any milk. That way, in addition to the effects of the caffeine you also get the eye opening feeling that someone just kicked you in the teeth.
Isn't the caffeine part of the enjoyment? It is for me.
More than enjoyment, its the purpose!
Personally, I prefer decaffinated. But only started drinking it because that's what we had.
Plus, with half cold it tastes a lot nicer imo. The whole taste destroying thing, etc.
I had some of those vanilla cream things in my coffee in the hilton in america and omg, i've never tasted anything like it. Brought a load home and everything. The Americans know how to do coffee.
Instant coffee goes in mug, add water, add milk, add sugar and stir. Then drink. Woo. Simple as 123.
