Cream. Like real, sure nuff, heavy cream. The best tasting "creamer" made and occasionally that's necessary because not all cups of coffee are created equal throughout the world. Bad water alone is enough to ruin what would otherwise be a good cup of black coffee but some folks inexplicably feel the need to master the art making bad coffee even with good water.

I seldom use any kind of "creamer", but when I do, it's whole milk or cream or half & half. Dear Wife has more shit in the refrigerator than I can name, without strolling over to look. Something that makes her coffee taste like a Snicker's candy bar, something that claims to be French cream, some powdered stuff that calls itself "coffee whitener", and the list goes on. Of those that I have scanned the ingredients list, none contain any dairy products. Bleahhhh!!
OT, but those ingredients lists get harder to read every year. Is that just me, or do they print the ingredients in ever smaller print?
I prefer about a ounce of warmed milk in my coffee as cream is too much for my taste. When I do decide to tolerate cream, it's going to be Bailey's. And by the second or third mug I'm making lattes out of it: a shot of coffee and the rest Irish cream.
Is that just me, or do they print the ingredients in ever smaller print?
Having lived with 20/10 vision for 35+ years, it's very illuminating to struggle to read things now - explains a lot of the dense behavior among my fellow humans I didn't understand before.
As long as nobody puts anything else whatsoever in there (sugar, flavors of any sort besides coffee and dairy, a Mercedes hood ornament, whatever), sure. Have several espresso/cappuccino devices around the house if I don't feel like going to The Coffee Shop [coffeeshophumboldt.com]. Mostly I just prefer several cups of drip made from freshly ground, good tasting beans though. I can get a lot more flavor across my tongue before my kidneys revolt or I forget how to nap.
I put a little Half & Half in the first cup, just to cool it enough to drink.
What you put in it isn't nearly as important as the coffee maker. The restaurants all use Bunn, so I spent the extra money for one. It was money well spent.
Have one but it won't start making the coffee 15m before I wake up. I consider that one of the greatest advancements since the first coffee beans were roasted and ground.
The nice thing about Bunn coffeemakers is the wait time between pouring water and a pot of coffee is 3-5 minutes depending on how you grind your beans.
Toothpaste before caffeine is precluded by both sanity and courtesy. Anyone who has to smell your breath after you've undone all the work the brushing managed with coffee will not thank you.
I get my coffee fixed, step outside and roll a cigarette, then whiz behind The Roomie's boat so as not to cause any marital strife in folks driving by. Priorities.
Heavy cream has about half the lactose that milk does and easily twice the flavor. So you're basically looking at 3g of lactose instead of 12 if you use heavy cream instead of milk to make your coffee racist.

Do you like a latte from a cafe? Australian latte, mind. Hmmm wet cappuccino perhaps?

Yeah, that's still 4-6 minutes of not having coffee after I wake up though.
