I figured the Coffee forum needed more content and this was the best way to kick it off. 
 
So tell us how you take your coffee from generic fast food/diner coffee that you drink when you have no other options to what you add to it at home. 
 
In general I only add about a tablespoon of half & half (or creamer if no other option) to my coffee. When at home for the morning I usually don't add anything as I just drink straight from my french press. However when I get home from work I like to spice it up a bit with a finger or so of Bushmill single malt as a little added flavor and relaxation. 
 
How bout yourselves, what do you love to add to your coffee or do you prefer it pure and black?

@IrishCoffee:
I dump as much sugar and half & half in as possible, so much so that it can barely be called coffee anymore.

Strong brew with milk and no sugar. I do add some liqueurs every now and then though.

When I'm in the mood for coffee, I get the black coffee cold by either putting it into a frig all day or a lot of ice cubes in a cup.  I add two to three spoons of regular sugar and natural half-n-half cream (usually half a cup).   I do not enjoy hot coffee at all.  When I go to the local Barnes & Noble cafe and feel like splurging I get the Java Chip Frap or some other Frap flavor they make.  I do not drink coffee daily. Perhaps once or twice a week.

Black, and somewhat stronger than normal. I sometimes need to vary a little, and have some milk in my coffee.
 
Irish coffee is amazing btw.

Black as the sky on a moonless night. Very occasionally with whole cream, but never with milk, sugar, or whiskey. (Whiskey is better on it's own.) Made in a cafetiere, although I may ask for one of Will's crazy coffee contraptions for Christmas. I do fairly well with the supermarket's own fair-trade brands. I just go for the 4s and 5s on their 5-point scales of strength.

 Used to put milk into it,but i once forgot to buy milk at work and didn't bother to go get some i ended up drinking it it black and have been doing so ever since. Sugar just ruins it for me.

Black as night, sweet as sin. 
 
Sorry, I actually just drink it straight black, but I always have the urge to use that quote whenever somebody asks me how I like my coffee.

I don't drink it often, usually have it after a nice big meal out with friends. Double shot short black with no sugar is usually how I drink it. It's like drinking bitter paint thinner.
 
It's great cause usually after a big delicious meal I usually feel like going to bed and hibernating for a week so the coffee gets me up and running again to continue with the rest of the night and usually til the early mornings of the next day :D

@IrishCoffee: I take it straight up black. I never drank it with cream or sugar so it wasn't a big deal to drink my coffee black.

some half and half and that's it. the sweetness of the cream is enough sweetener for me.
