7-11 regular coffee with International Delights Hazelnut creamers.

24oz coffee, 4 creams, 2 sugars = waking up in the morning.
Similar. We grind our own Maxwell House beans, as needed. Don't do
froo-froo creamers, but I do like lots of half-and-half and a bit of
sweetener.

Still, a good PCJ cup one or twice a week is a good thing!

Excuse me, it is not froo-froo cream. It is a flavored cream. A great
tasting flavored cream.

I used to drink my coffee black because it took less time to get a cup and
go until my sister told me to take time and enjoy the coffee the way you
want.

Cream in the coffee tastes bad. And flavored coffee should be banned!

Are you a squid?

I learned to drink black coffee (without sugar or sweetners) in the Navy.
The powered Coffee-Mate type junk they had often moved around on it's own.

I certainly seems to be flavored and you might think it tastes good...
but I doubt it has *anything* to do with cream... that is natural and
involves cows... nor, amusingly, hazelnuts... which are a real nut.
The ingredients seem to mention neither....

The contents of your "creamer" a "Water, Sugar, Partially
Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (Soybean Or Canola), Corn Syrup Solids,
Sodium Caseinate (A Milk Derivative),Dipotassium Phosphate, Salt, Mono
And Diglycerides, Carrageenan, Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate, Lecithin,
Natural And Artificial Flavors, Annatto And Turmeric For Color."

Did you read that off of the bottle you have in your fridge?

I tend to not eat anything, "gourmet" or not, that seems to have come
from a conglomerate's chemlab... and not the kitchen.

Better living through chemistry.

I used to drink my coffee black because it took less time to get a cup
and go until my sister told me to take time and enjoy the coffee the way
you want.

Good advice. Did you tell her that you are now sipping stuff you can't
even pronounce?

My wife is a chemist and she can pronounce all of them. And, when they
do my autopsy she can tell the coroner what to test for to put on my
death certificate.

Did she tell you that your Hazelnut International Delights was
cream??!!!

Why clean 'em? With no milk, cream, powder or sugar all that's left is
dried coffee.
Gives the cup a seasoned, "conditioned" quality, much like conditioning a
cast iron frying pan.

Nope, was Air Force. But learned coffee drinking while working on mainframe
computers. Gave up cream in the coffee many years ago. Fishing at Bodega
Bay and dad made instant coffee with Preme. Was sick before I ever got on
our boat. Gave up cream in the coffee that day.

I worked with a guy years ago, who decided to take his work coffee cup home
and run it through the dishwasher. Baked all the old deposits on and they
would actually crack off at times.
