Why, thanks. I'll take mine black, if that's not too much trouble.

Hell yes. I love coffee, but not black coffee. Black coffee is nasty. It tastes like warmed-over shit.

If I ever drink it I cut it with one part hot chocolate

Way way too much. Like 6-7 cups a day. I'm a major caffeine addict. If they ever made a crystal caffeine I would be shooting up all the time.




Coffee, I need coffee!!!!!

Only socially.

Yes.

I select my own beans (usually Arabica), grind them myself, use a French press, heavy cream (NOT milk), and unfiltered wildflower honey.

If you offer me coffee that's been kept in the freezer, factory ground, or filtered through a piece of paper, I will ask for tea.

I'm a tea drinker, coffee is just disgusting. My GF however drinks 8-10 cups a day

I love coffee and drink it when I can, though my coffee maker is crap, so I prefer to buy coffee.

No.

I will one day kill myself with one of my little coffee-substitute experiments, but I shall stand by my coffee abstinence.

No, I almost never drink it. I love tea though, in all its wonderful forms. I'm drinjking maté tea right now. Most of the coffee drinkers I know are addicts. It's like they can't wake up in the morning without it.

Exhibit A:

i drink coffee for the taste,
but the problem is that it gives me the shakes...
[not jsut coz of caffeine, ive got a tremor that gets worse]
i would drink it so much more if i could tho
my parents are the type that grind their own, they have 3 before theyre even out of bed most mornings

True but still it's still legal to drink coffee and it's what make you go around this fast paced world. I personally think they should relegalize Ephedra.


BTW. Since the ilegalization of Ephedra has anyone else noticed the increase of Meth addiction.

Cut me and I will bleed coffee.

No, I don't, and I don't drink tea from coffee shops either. The tea I had at starbucks tasted like wood.

?

Tea my dear boy. It's the drink that won us chaps the Empire, saw us through the Blitz and many a crisis, both national, and just between a gentleman and his good lady. Any time anything stressful happens, the response of the British mother shall always be the same:-
"I'll just put the kettle on and make a nice cuppa shall i?"

Coffee is for you vulgar colonial types and parvenus with no élan.

the question you should be asking is what coffee is your faveriot (mines a Frapachino)

You left out drinking coffee and tea option. I like both....

i drink 2-3 mugs daily minimum of tea and i love a good organic freetrade cup of espresso...mmmmm

Hell yes. I love coffee, but not black coffee. Black coffee is nasty. It tastes like warmed-over shit.

Well yes if you are using Folgers or instant! :p

Try shade tree grown out......

I do drink coffee every now and then, but I drink much more tea than coffee.

The supermarket close to me sells several tastes of fair trade tea, they are all lovely, and it's a good act at the same time :)

My favorite tea is the one with cinamon in it, and some honey instead of sugar to make the taste even better :)

Yes.

I select my own beans (usually Arabica), grind them myself, use a French press, heavy cream (NOT milk), and unfiltered wildflower honey.

I knew you had taste! ;)

Pepsi.
I can't stand coffee or tea.

Tea rocks. Coffee.... tastes like socks

No. I love the smell of coffee, but hate the taste.

Tea, on the other hand, I love. Well, most teas. I'm not a fan of darjeeling teas, and these "herbal teas" which contain no tea, but are really just hot flavored water, don't count as tea at all.

I drink decaf tea constantly, but it's much better if it's decaffinated with CO2 instead of other random chemicals. You can also decaffinate tea yourself by steeping the leaves 30 seconds, and discarding the result, and then using them to make the rest of the tea. About 90% of the caffiene is emitted during the first 30 seconds in boiling water, and the subsequent tea is still quite good.

Indeed. Often in the middle of the night. The problem is that I can't drink more than 3 cups in a row without upsetting my stomach; if I could, I would probably drink about twice as many, then wait a couple of hours, then repeat. I have quite irregular and otherwise screwed up sleeping patterns, where days are naturally 1-2 hours longer than usual, and can sometimes extend by around 1-6 hours more. Sometimes I also have an extremely short day, followed or preceded by a 30+ hour one. This means that during school days, I either sleep during the night, sometime during the day, split my sleep into two periods, and some days end up sleep deprived when I can't sleep fully due to school. In the latter case, coffee helps a bit, and I also use it sometimes to at further extend days in order to synchronise my sleeping patterns with school to the small extent that it's possible.

I drink coffee but to relax. I drink water with work or water with those iced tea bags. I take my coffee with hot chocolate (instead of sugar), cream, and maybe a shot of liquor. I don’t drink much Joe coffee anymore, but I’m from the lower mainland of British Columbia so we won’t drink any coffee we didn’t have to pay $5 for.

When I drink coffee out of the home, I don’t go to places like Starbucks or other big franchise spots. I always seek out the community based shops that have a bit more local culture to them. I used to know a Lebanese coffee shop owner who would make me some Eastern Mediterranean “mud” coffee like he drank in the old homeland, but nobody else would drink it and eventually he went out of business, because of places like Starbucks. Admittedly, when they first opened Starbucks had good coffee, but once they got overly successful quality went right out the window.

Ah, but it was the result of coffee shops drawing people of different social strata together during the European Enlightenment that helped abolish the old fedual systems and begin equitable social change.
What has tea done for the world? Just sat about in mouldy old cups and saucers, being drank by fat, rich women (when said women weren't having a case of the vapors, of course).

Yes. Lots.

i dunno, someone's reading the Neal Stephenson interpretation of history a little too much if you ask me (great books though those are). I'd say it was more things like "massive urban growth sustained by the importation of a viable all year food crop from the Americas" (ie, spuds, innit).

what a boreing subject.:rolleyes:

and rather tediously too.

I love iced tea, but coffee is always great. I don't care which I drink so long as I get the caffeine, which, by the way, doesn't affect me. At. All. But coffee is still good stuff. The smell will pretty much wake me up. And Wawa Iced or Lemonade Tea during the school day is great, cause it can keep me awake and hydrated. Cold coffee isn't that good, ya know?

I like my coffee like I like my women. Ground up and in the fridge.

na. Black for me.

And if I'm in a mood for something different, then throw in some raspberry, strawberry, and blackberry syrup. Or else caramel, chocolate, and raspberry. mmm

I like Coffee Desnike [/weird roleplaying reference]! If that is still not invented, with sugar and a bit cinnamon. Syrup in coffee? Are you insane?

Coffee certainly has various interesting connetations. It can be seen as the sophisticated drink of the businessman, or the drink of the uptight workaholic that stays up all night. And then it has the connetation of going back to someone else's house for coffee.... It has so many different situations that can be linked to it - it is definatively a drink of many social situations. As for me, I like my coffee in cake form with icing and walnuts;)

I love coffee.

I prefer White Chocolate Mochas when I want something warm and Caramel Frappucinos when I want something cold. I vary rarely drink black coffee.

*drools* I love espresso, I am soo over that weak coffee.

I'm not supposed to, for medical reasons. I cried when they told me that, and I confess that I still sneak a cup from time to time anyway.

My favorite hot beverage, however, is hot cranberry juice.

Do I drink coffee? Ha, I practically inhale the stuff, it's my breath of life, the glorious caffeine and delightful flavor! How do I like my coffee? However you make it! I'm a fan of everything from black coffee to stuff that tastes like hot chocolate. It's coffee!

Coffee coffee coffee coffee coffee coffee coffee coffee!

So, it's been proposed by some historians that the real reason for the end of the middle ages in Europe is the arrival of coffee. The logic behind this being that at night Europeans really did enjoy...throwing back the bottle, and would wake up each morning with a hangover. Well, this delightful little drink from the Arabs solved that problem, and they became morning people, and the renaissance began.

Coffee be rank, it's mainly mud in a mug anyway... tea all the way! Boo-ya!

Yes.
Sometimes two pots a day.
Sometimes none at all.

I like my coffee like I like my women too- Hot, fast and on the kitchen counter.

Drip coffee is pretty vile, I can't remember percolated coffee too well (although I faintly remember it was better than drip by a fair margin), espresso is great, and a nice strong cup of tea is quite nice, too,

I Like my women like my coffee. Columbian, and with a donkey.

Actually, the closest I get to coffee is Coffee Crisp. Closest i get to tea is iced tea. I don't care for most hot beverages.

[QUOTE=Allemonde]Way way too much. Like 6-7 cups a day. I'm a major caffeine addict. If they ever made a crystal caffeine I would be shooting up all the time.


6-7 cups....lightweight,i drink more than that in the first two hours awake!

I'd say i drink about 15-20 cups a day.

I look my coffee like i like my women. 59p from the local cafe, with cream on the top, in a styrofoam cup.

I like my sugar with coffee and cream!

It all depends on the size of your cup. I use a thermal travel mug so I can take my coffee all through the house and on into the car if I am on the go. It holds 3 typical ceramic coffee cups worth of coffee. So I drink about 3 of my cups the first hour I'm awake....which might be 9 cups to someone else.

Coffee drinking should be mandatory :D

I drink occasionally, I'm considerign trying to convince myself that Starbucks is real coffee, because I doubt i'll be able to find Jousting Penguin once I move.

Ahh, but your a mum(if i remember reading some posts right) and thus need the caffine.

I look at tea and coffee like this:

Tea is my petrol and gives adequate mileage

Coffee is my diesel and gives me those extra miles when required.

Yes, it is the only heath food I really enjoy.
