How Do You Stir Your Coffee Poll

other: I let the process of sipping do the stirring. (this will not work if you add sugar/sweetener, which I do not.)

What? I take it black like a real person duh

^^^ sole correct option.

i take my coffee black. if it's good coffee, i shouldn't have to muck it up with cream and sugar.

if it's shit coffee, sometimes i do cos otherwise I'll puke

cross-posted with Simon H:

Other: I make my own coffee, add milk or cream, but don't stir it. After a few sips it's all mixed together anyway, so why bother?

sip-stirrers may answer with option 1 then - please note the mechanism was not specified

i will admit to drinking flavored coffee when I'm drinking it on drives but that's cos gas station coffee tastes like Milton Berle's asshole

i shake it, who doesn't shake their coffee?!?

even more quiddities and agonies of the ruling class

shake it, shake shake it, shake it , shake shake it
shake it like a Colombian roast

I do typically drink it black, but that seems like a cop-out poll option tbqhwu. On the rare occasions that I do add cream, gently for a few seconds will suffice.

on the occasions I add shit to it, three times, clockwise, and don't you look at me

voted "softly, as in a morning sunrise"

I’ve stirred the styrofoam cups of instant coffee purchased at the Berkeley Pier stand, that’s about it iirc

I’ll be honest I am a ruling class baby and my quiddity is I’m basically incapable of taking my coffee unless it’s an Americano with turbinado sugar and half-and-half and I’ll probably be the only vote for “emulsion”

I chew up a coffee-flavored Kit Kat and distribute the resultant slurry as a sweetener between two intact cups of coffee.

I give the carton a good shaking before adding milk or half & half and do not stir at all ... inserting a spoon might displace drinkable coffee

i put coffee and cream in a food processor and blend for 30 seconds

I don’t take sugar either, don’t know if that matters for the purposes of this poll

I feel dumb now that I didn’t include a “What? It stirs itself, jack” option

dammit voted wrong

pour milk in first, then pour in coffee - no stirring

OTM

i will admit to drinking flavored coffee when I'm drinking it on drives but that's cos gas station coffee tastes like Milton Berle's asshole

technically coffee that tastes like Milton Berle's asshole is still "flavored coffee"

i take it black, like my men

woo-hoo!

I like coffee-flavoured coffee

oops (that was supposed to be a picture of Dennis Leary)

What? I take it black like a real lactose-intolerant person duh

They make all kinds of lactose free stuff to adulterate your coffee with!

for example: bourbon

I was in my 40s before I realised I hadn't liked coffee or tea growing up cos I don't like hot drinks with milk in them

Black coffee is a fine preference, and one I share, but it is so weird as a flex

There are lots of substantiated woke nth wave coffee-person reasons to add cream or sugar, though justifying shouldn’t be necessary, because you should just drink coffee with any of a lot of things in it

Drink coffee with cream
Drink coffee with milk
Drink coffee with fake milk
Drink coffee with sugar
Drink ca phe with sweetened condensed milk
Drink coffee with fake sugar
Drink coffee with brown sugar
Drink coffee with cardamom and orange
Drink coffee de olla with nutmeg and cinnamon and allspice and agave
Drink coffee with spiced rum
Drink coffee with bourbon
Drink coffee with blended scotch
Drink coffee with
Drink
Bat Macumba eh eh

I stir it with a rusty railroad spike, twice and counterclockwise, unless it raining and Mars is in retrograde and then I use my pinky.

Ideally I drink a couple of double shots of espresso with a Topo Chico, but COVID has fucked that up.

The Topo Chico is a good idea. I eat a Pepcid before my coffee or I get a visit from gurgle-guts and the acid burps

Such an amazing combo

With my thumb like the logger loved in the logger lover.

By the logic of the song I deduce that you are also a logger.

I pour milk in but don't stir, the pouring seems to stir it enough

i drink it black but sometimes add oat milk if i want to drink a second cup of coffee and not end up on the ceiling. i don't stir, though, just watch the bloom of clouds in my coffee, clouds in my coffee and

drink it black. sometimes a tiny pinch of salt in

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

landslide

ILX hivemind otm.

i do not drink coffee. i'm a starter

I missed the poll, but I'm a black coffee drinker myself unless I'm making some kind of fancy thing like an Irish coffee. BUT my wife takes milk in hers, and instead of stirring what I do is put the milk in first, add coffee, and then one more little dollop of milk on top. She says it ends up perfectly mixed.

I pour milk/creamer in with my left hand while pouring the coffee in with my right, to the exact titration necessary

lol my dad, a chemist, used to order 'martinis' that were straight gin (with a twist!) and then apply a couple droplets of vermouth from a vial in his pocket

(tbf both gin and coffee are disgusting, but at least coffee beans smell good)

I missed the poll but I usually drink it black. When I use sugar, I put the sugar in first and pour the coffee on it.

If you put milk or cream in coffee it justs tastes like hot milk, why not just drink hot milk instead.
