I mean, would we love beef as much without salt and pepper? That's what cream and splenda is for me with coffee; its a seasoning.
I take 6-8 ounces of generic coffee with 2 creamers and 1 splenda packet, and I enjoy flavored coffee from time to time, but not as an everyday beverage.

Comparing coffee with cream and sugar to steak doesn't make it any more manly.
And yes, I do love coffee, black. I think it tastes amazing, and the fact that it has almost zero caloric value is a big plus. My favorite types are the Starbucks Komodo Dragon blend and Eight O'Clock coffee brand.
I do enjoy lattes and mochas, though. To me they are a totally different kind of drink. My favorite is an iced no-whip mocha from Starbucks.
I used to pretty much drink coffee non-stop all day long, but in the past couple of weeks I've started cutting back to a cup or two a day. Since I've started working out I've noticed that exorbitant amounts of coffee dehydrate me and give you a really sick feeling in your mouth once you're exerting yourself.
