The only way I can drink coffee is milky and sweet. Could be cappuccino or mocha with lots of sugar, but only every great once in a while. There's a religious group in North Carolina that also makes very good sweet milky coffee for a certain type of service, but apparently the recipe can only be made properly in large vats -- no single cup quantities.
Anyway, all this is to say that I mostly drink tea and not coffee.
Like Danny and freyer I like my coffee not to taste like coffee
Any sweetner will do and cream or milk is nice as well. If cream/milk isn't available then adulterating it with hot chocolate or some other flavor/additive works.
I'm not sure if eggnog latte strictly counts as coffee, but I do like Starbucks version.
Coffee smells wonderful, but I have never come by a taste for actually drinking it. I can occasionally go for a high-quality coffee ice cream, especially if chocolate sauce is also present.
Hot, cream, sugar, both fairly heavy. Essentially, I drink "baby coffee".
I grew up in a tea-drinking household and so coffee qua coffee is something I can drink, but not my favourite, and I have to adulterate it quite a bit. Tea I drink black.

Usually, I like it black and fairly strong (but not so strong that it makes your teeth wobble). I grind my own beans, and my wife likes finding all kinds of different coffee beans for me to try. Columbian coffee is my favourite, but the other day she bought me some Hawaiian beans that have a bitter but strangely pleasant taste.
When I'm not at home, I generally order capuccino (or if I'm at Starbucks something with caramel and lots of cream).
I once shared a flat with a friend who spent lots of time working in Italy, where he got into the habit of drinking espresso with sambuca first thing in the morning.

Well... You have to be careful there. There is a mistaken belief amongst many people that making coffee stronger automatically makes it better.
It's a terrible lie.
"Goldilocks" coffee is the best way to drink coffee... neither too weak, nor too strong.

Well, now. ::Cracks knuckles:: Where to begin? I've worked in coffeeshops for years, and am generally considered quite the "bean expert" amongst my coworkers. You gotta question about coffee, I gotta answer for you!
For drip brew, I like mild, light to medium light roasts. My favorites are out of Costa Rica and Guatamala, but my absolute favorite EVER was a limited edition Ethiopian Sidamo that tasted just...awesome. And I like it all with a boatload of cream and sugar, though I'll sip it black if I'm doing a tasting.
For "bar" drinks, I like white mochas, sometimes with vanilla or mint. Usually pretty easy on the espresso so that it's still milky and sweet.
I also like straight espresso. With a couple of ice cubes to take the scald out, and in a shot glass, please. We have designated shot cups (they have tikis on them!) used to toasting...anything we can think of to toast! Beginning of the shift, end of the shift...middle of the shift...good things, bad things. In fact, just about any customer, should they choose, can join us in a shot. Straight espresso is too strong for me to enjoy sipping, but as a shot it goes down nice and smooth.

Cream with coffee is amazing, though I rarely have it as cream doesn't come in small enough amounts for me not to drink dangerous amounts of it.

I've not tried Espresso, neat or otherwise. Also never heard of mint added to lattes. How is it?
