I drink my coffee black with a bit of sweetener. I have a hint for those who stop at McDonalds, Starbucks, or some other such place. If you like your coffee hot and black, but find theirs just a bit TOO hot, grab a straw. Drink your coffee through that straw. It seems like just that short trip cools mine enough so it doesn't burn my mouth but still stays hot, the way I like it.

I remember she drank instant coffee in a mug, it was just us three girls, my Mom and us, [her two daughters], so she couldn't see why she should make a pot of coffee for just herself. After I first got married I didn't drink coffee, my husband didn't drink coffee ether, I didn't start drinking coffee till I was in my thirties, I don't think we owned a coffee pot till than ether. Now I like a great big mug, enough that holds at least two big cups of coffee. I have a Cuisinart Automatic drip coffee maker, stainless steel thermal pot. Once the coffee is made, the machine turns off, and the coffee stays hot in the Thermal coffee pot. Sometimes when I am feeling out of energy, I will have a cup of coffee while making dinner. If it's not hot enough, I warm it up in the micro, still tastes good. I do use cups and saucers at thanks giving, and at christmas, becaus! e my good china, has cups and saucers, also my Christmas dishes, also comes with cups and saucers. When I use them, I think to myself these are so small, but they do match my dishes, and so I use them. But I do prefer my big big mug for morning coffee.
