I grind my own beans, usually French Roast, black most of the time. On the rare occasion that I have whipping cream in the house before whipping it I will slip a little bit of that in my coffee. No sweetener, though.
I only drink my coffee black and I can not drink Starbucks! Their coffee is terrible, way over roasted (burnt) and old.
Not to mention their nonsensical cup size names. I mean, venti? I'm pretty sure that means twenty in Italian... not to mention 'small' and 'tall' are quite the opposite.
mmmmm... i love coffee I have to have it 1st thing in the morning with creme brulee coffee creamer i am hooked on it yummy I dont get out of bed if i dont have any coffee
I add cream somtimes -- I find I need it in flavored coffees or else they taste weird, and it's a way to make bad coffee taste a little better (at meetings, seminars, etc). The rest of the time I drink it black.
I agree with everyone else on Starbucks, their coffee is gross, tastes like drinking ashes... even if I add cream AND sweetener I can't stand it. Which means that if I even enter a Starbucks, I must have plans to get a creamy, sugary, espresso-based drink. So I just stay out.
I am not a huge coffee person, but most often when I drink it, it's some sort of double-triple-quadrule-shot espresso thing! Half the time, I put nothing in it, and the other half, I will put a little bit of Irish cream or hazelnut creamer and a packet of Splenda.
I like foofy coffees, too... those flavored ones with whipped cream on top commonly found at Starbucks If only they weren't so high in calories and sugar.

1 cup of coffee at home in the morning with Creme Brulee flavored Coffeemate.
After my morning eye opener, I switch to fragrant teas. Jasmine is my favorite now that it's cooler tho I was partial to a cranberry melange over the summer that made an incredible iced tea.
