Doc Al's recent thread on the effects of coffee on naps got me to thinking:
How do you like your coffee?
You can check as many categories as you want!

Astronuc said:I'll drink it black (i.e., no sugar or dairy), but I'll just as likely take milk, cream, ice cream, or half-and-half, or whatever is on hand.
Often I'll take it with vanilla or chocolate ice cream. Put one or two scoops in a mug and pour in the coffee.
For a while, I did two tablespoons of vanilla ice cream, honey, and nutmeg, then pour in the coffee.
At Starbucks, I get the Mocha Latte with a generous portion of nutmeg.
I've enjoyed Irish coffee on occasion, but not too often.
WWGD said:Dry double shot with only foam, I put "a whisper"* of milk , with two drops of half-and-half , a Splenda and a -half, or an Equal -and-a-half. Or, in Summer days, iced. I also give preference to places that have seating, if there is one within reasonable distance.
* Saw that expression once at a pretty fancy place.
Whenever I travel or go overseas and have coffee or espresso or cappuccino in a restaurant, I'll ask to have it with nutmeg. Nutmeg is a hallmark for a good restaurant.lisab said:Nutmeg...it is an unchallenged truth (in my mind) that nutmeg is under-used and under-appreciated. Nutmeg and cream in a savory dish taste like angles singing, if singing had a flavor.
I'll definitely try it in coffee .

Same for me on both but, I'll have to try the nutmeg variation. I've been drinking coffee since I was 10 and used to dunk my toast in it.Astronuc said:Whenever I travel or go overseas and have coffee or espresso or cappuccino in a restaurant, I'll ask to have it with nutmeg.

I've been drinking coffee since I was about 11. Probably self-medication for ADD/ADHD.
Or if angles could sing... Are those angles acute or obtuse?lisab said:Nutmeg...it is an unchallenged truth (in my mind) that nutmeg is under-used and under-appreciated. Nutmeg and cream in a savory dish taste like angles singing, if singing had a flavor.

The history of coffee in the Navy dates back to the 1700s when it was first introduced as a staple beverage for sailors. It was believed to provide a boost of energy and help keep sailors alert during long voyages.
According to a study conducted by the Naval Health Research Center, the average sailor consumes about 3 cups of coffee per day. This adds up to over 10 million pounds of coffee consumed by the Navy every year.
No, coffee is not rationed in the Navy. Sailors are allowed to consume as much coffee as they want, as long as it does not interfere with their duties or cause any health issues.
Most ships have a designated coffee mess where sailors can make their own coffee using instant coffee packets or a coffee maker. Some ships also have a coffee bar where sailors can purchase specialty coffee drinks.
Yes, coffee is considered an important part of Navy culture and is often referred to as "the lifeblood of the Navy." It is a source of comfort and camaraderie for sailors, especially during long deployments or difficult missions.
