Once, a wiser man than I told me that if you don't like black coffee, just go one week where you drink your coffee black, gag it down at first if you have to, but then you'll be hooked. (once you go black, you never go back...) I tried it, and have been drinking nothing but black coffee for 6 years. I've managed to convert my gf and my dad and several friends as well. It's amazing, and now I can't stand to water down my coffee with cream or sugar.
Edit: I've also been told that coffee has the most "flavors" of any beverage out there, orders of magnitude more than wine, or tea. Take it for what you will, I'm not claiming to be capable of distinguishing them, but once you add cream/sugar/etc, you start to neuter the flavors. Savor them my friends, savor them.

I only had access to my floor and one day the coffee machine on my floor ran out of milk. So, for a week or so I took my coffee without milk. For some reason the machine was filled up again and the next week it also ran out of sugar forcing me to take my coffee black. Ever since I have been drinking my coffee black and today I can't imagine having milk or sugar in my coffee since it will ruin the glorious taste of it.
