A question about Protein Powder

I bought Designer French Vanilla protein powder from the local Rite Aide and I drank it mixed with water for the first time last Thursday.  It tasted a lot like coffee creamer!

This gave me an idea... even though I normally drink my coffee black this morning I divided one serving between two mugs of coffee.  

Is this a good or bad idea?  Do I HAVE to mix with cold water or can I take the protein powder supplement mixed in with other products such as coffee.

Thanks!

Eat it anyway you want... with fruit, with oats, with water, with milk, with coffee, with icecream?

Someone else around here mixes hers with coffee.  I don't drink coffee on exercise days or around workout time.   But I mix mine with orange juice.  It's really good and helps with carb replacement.  I've also mixed it with Black cherry juice.

I tried Designer Whey "natural" with water and it was really gross.

yeah... it tastes very blan... like coffeemate creamer. 

Thank you all for your input!

Of course you can mix protein powder with almost any liquid.  Milk is a popular favorite.  Just last month a Men's Health published a "smoothie" of the month.  It included protein mixed in coffee.  Some actually suggest drinking coffee or getting some caffiene before your work out.  The only difference besides taste is the added calories that you would get from milk, juice, or coffee. 

I liked it with low-fat or non-fat milk. I never tried it with coffee.  But, I'm not much of a coffee drinker. And I thought it was just plain nasty in water or juice.
