I usually don't use milk, I prefer cream, at all times. When I drink espresso, there's 2 ways for me to consume it:
1) 2-3 shots of espresso, gulp it down all at once asap. Drink it fast.
OR
2) Pour lots of cream into it, like.. a lot. Then add sugar. Great shit

I did go through a coffee phase in the first couple years of uni, due to some unfortunate lecturer/theatre combinations that made it impossible for me to stay awake during lectures. These days though, I mostly drink water or juice and keep caffeine to a minimum. I still prefer tea over coffee, mostly because any coffee with less milk than a latte tends to make me feel hungry. >.>

I suppose I do but not every morning, more like every afternoon, I look forward to that coffee kick. +_+ We have a brand of Cinnamon coffee, and it tastes excellent +_+ Though people go 'CINNAMON WHAA?!' quite frequently. It's better than it sounds seriously +_+

I normally avoid anything w/ caffeine in it, so when I need to stay awake the effective magnitude of the caffeine is greater, as for the taste of coffee - I dislike bitter things so I'll only drink coffee after it has heavily been doctored up with something like 20% creme and 2-7% sugar.
Edit: that's by volume not mass

This.
Actually, I rarely if ever drink coffee, unless 1) I need to stay awake very late to finish something (this I'm trying to move away from, as it's very self-abusive) or 2) stayed awake very late the previous night and don't want to be walking around school like a zombie.

I drink coffee in a semi-regular basis. Basically I only drink it when I need it, for 9am lectures, all nighters or work. I don't really like Starbucks here either, although I doubt Starbucks in Australia is the same as the ones in the USA. I only take caramel macchiato from there. I prefer coffee from either Gloria Jeans or Zaraffahs (can't spell) depends on which is avaliable. I also hate black coffee, no milk, no coffee for me. Lol
I prefer green tea, cant live without it. I have been drinking it everyday for years, it might be a contributing factor to absence of dark circles even though I hardly ever sleep.
I take it in a very stange way too, dark brown sugar and milk with my greentea. One of those at least every night, or else I wouldn't feel right...

I don't drink it daily, getting addicted is scary.
However, I drink it when my efficiency is on top. When I'm in a perfect pitch and working extremely well with some paper or other stuff, I use caffeine to reach a peak even higher up.
When I'm tired? Then I usually go to sleep.

I drink coffee for the flavor, not the caffeine. Sometimes I go weeks without any, sometimes I drink a couple pots a day.
I like fancy coffees just as much as black coffee though...

I can't stand Coffee. If I need caffeine, I'll turn to a soda. As for breakfast, it's usually milk,water, or orange juice.

Coffee doesn't taste good =(
Caffeine makes me sleepy anyway.. Anything that'll ever make me high will probably make me sleepy, which is kinda sad actually...

Nope, I dont drink it daily. I do occasionally grab an ice cap or a french vanilla from timmies though.
If needed, I'll grab a coffee for the caffeine too but honestly, if I was super tired, coffee or not, it won't do anything.

Coffee's not my thing. I prefer the more sugary stuff like soda.

Only whenever I need to swing by my parents' office to help with office work, so once every 1-2 weeks. Otherwise, it's tea for my caffeine needs.

No cream, no sugar. Pure black Columbo blend coffee, concentrated at 2 full teaspoons (straight from the bag) of coffee powder per 6 ounces of water.

That's a blatant and utter urban myth.

Same here. Me and my mother both get sleepy when we have coffee, so it's not like I would need to to stay awake. Although, I believe if I actually had hard black coffee with no sugar or milk, it'd wake me up. It's probably because I don't drink enough of the actual coffee, so it has the opposite effect on me.

Espresso does the trick, 3 shots of that sh it, gulp it down.
