Like an affogato? This. A thousand times this. Delicious, and earns you points with the snooty coffee drinking crowd, too. Until they discover you know nothing about beat poetry...

Ahh...coffee never really gives me a boost of energy, maybe an unnoticable amount, I just like t for it's taste.
Did you know coffee is actually a sweet beverage in itself, except it's flavor degrades over time.
Also, how you make your coffee is a factor in it's flavor.
Well, coffee is probably safer for you than 5-hour energy, Vault or Menergy.

Yeah, start with cream and sugar. Adjust to how you like it, and slowly put less and less. I'm 13, almost 14 and I drink it black. Probably really bad for me, but meh.

Mmmm, I love coffee, but I've become a caffeine addict because of it. I enjoy it black most of the time, but a touch of creme here and there is a nice treat.

As far as trying to start drinking coffee, I'd recommend starting out with more milk (or creme) than coffee in your mug. My dad started my brother and I on coffee when I was about 4 or 5, and he used to call it "milk-coffee" because it was really more milk than anything. But yeah, start that way, because you can ween yourself off of the creme and sugar in good time.

I've moved on to bigger and better things now. The night before I have to go back to school - right now - I'm drinking a Cappuccino, my first one. It's very good. Well, last update before the school year, so long!

The only form of coffee I drink is a nice, frosty Mocha Frap from Starbucks. Too bad they are so expensive. I only have them everyone once in a while.

But **** are they tasty...

In that ruined tower, atop a mountain.
And it was terrible! I had black (don't want to start soft, stupid idea I know) and it tasted so bad I had a gag reflex. And now I can't get the taste out of my mouth! Ugh. Anyone else here drink coffee? And if so, how should I start?
I can't get used to it either. One night, I took a swig of coffee thinking it was something else. My stomach had a difficult time keeping it in, and kept me awake 'till 3:00AM. (I usually go to bed around 10-11:00PM.)

Coffee is horrible, unless you dumb loads of sugar in. Then even then the taste of it is still questionable. Drink tea instead, it's delicious, and a lot more healthy for you.

QFT... except no amount of sugar can make coffee taste good.
However there's one exception, Dunkin Donuts Iced Hazelnut Coffee. It's the best evar in teh historay of evar!!!!1

But yeah, tea is way better, Arizona Green is the kind I normally get.

While I don't like Coffee, I'm absolutely obsessed with Iced Caps. They're amazing. End of.
But my favourite teas would be Sir Thomas Lipton, and Orange Pekoe. ^^

Cream, sugar, and about a teaspoon of vanilla.

And don't eat anything sweet before drinking the coffee, or it'll taste bad

Agreed, regular Nestea tastes better and is actually good for you. I've always wanted to try Green Tea as well as various others which are very good for the immune system.

among the figments of your imagination
am I the only one here who likes coffee? you need to find a better coffee if you gag on it. And you're diving in cold-turkey method isn't going to work, you have to take steps before you get used to stronger coffee. Start off with a less dark roast and add sugar and creamer and work your way up. Pretty soon you'll have yourself set in where you're comfy. Personally I go for black with just enough sugar. Just don't go overboard, one day I had five shots of espresso and two cups of dark coffee for breakfast, after getting no sleep the night before + jetlag, I couldn't speak coherent sentences or even type on a keyboard properly for hours.

Bleh I never really got into coffee unless it's one of the expensive ones at starbucks. I did like the idea of a morning wake me up so I got into hot tea which I think tastes way better. I don't really like milky things in the morning so a bit of honey and lemon is way better for me.

Ease yourself into it though...Start with cream/sugar and get used to it. I've tried a few times but couldn't stick with it.
