[Food] Coffee?

Love it, and Pretty much every day, usually black but I've been mixing some kefir in it and it perks you up something FIERCE! And on occasions I mix two spoonfuls of brown sugar straight into the grounds. And yes, it is amazing. Very rare occasions though, too much of a good thing and all that.

Never got the taste for it. How I managed to get through my undergrad without java juice, I have no idea.
I do enjoy tea, though.

I do not subscribe to Americanos though. They are just watered down espressos, and shouldn't cost more than a normal fucking espresso shot! And YES- I bought one having believed they mix the water and espresso in a fancy way but NOOOOOOOOOOOOPE- its basically espresso you make from a coffee pot.
Do I like coffee? Like? No no no. I LOVE coffee. I would swim in an olympic-sized pool of it, dive to the bottom and drink my way to the top.
How do I drink it? Any way I can get it. Iced, hot, made in my Keurig, made in a French press at home, Starbucks, or a local shop. I usually drink it at home with a little half & half.

I don't get this attitude. I also loath coffee...so I don't drink it. To me, acquired tastes make no sense. It's also why I rarely drink alcohol. I don't like the taste and unless it's basically fruit juice I won't drink it. And yes, your super duper concoction DOES have an alcohol taste, your taste buds are just so deadened to the flavor that you don't notice it, like a smoker that can't tell they fucking stink when they come back from outside.
I agree with you on the smoking and alcohol. But there has been a lot of studies that have said a certain amount of coffee (not 10 cups) is very beneficial for long-term health, particularly in women. I'm not saying you need to drink coffee, but compared to similar amounts of alcohol or cigarettes, coffee is a good habit to have.
I love coffee, and I'll drink any kind. That last half a cup in the pot that's been cooking for 3 hours at work and now looks like molasses? I'll drink it. Folgers instant coffee? Sure why not. If I have a choice I'll obviously take something better, but I don't care.
At home I'll usually have french press, unless I'm feeling lazy. I used to roast my own beans, but haven't in a while. Might have to pick that up again. At a coffee shop I usually get an Americano. Everything else is too damn expensive.

Caffeine addiction? I know if I don't drink my morning cup I will get a bad headache in the afternoon and if I try and quick cold turkey I would suffer for about a week straight. Fortunately I like the taste of coffee, 2 cups a day is not unhealthy (some say can actually be healthy), and I'm not in a job where I would need the stimulus all day long.
Completely agree on the alcohol taste in drinks. I like it, but I'm fully aware it's always there, even in weak drinks. I find it dumb that people try and claim when it doesn't.
I dream of getting to a place in life where that happens to me.
I try not to drink coffee frequently because I don't want to become an addict. When I desperately need a pick-me-up though, I'll get a hazlenut macchiato from starbuck.
If I am eating breakfast at 2am, one creamer and half a SweetnLow. Then I drink the whole carafe that IHOP puts on the table.[DOUBLEPOST=1395412320,1395412284][/DOUBLEPOST]I don't drink coffee at the house, I just keep some on hand whenever I have guests.
I drink at least 34 oz (1L) of coffee a day. Usually more. Black, no sugar.
I keep one of these in my car:

I keep a couple of those at the house for sodas during the summer, so they don't sweat all over my furniture or me. But I get the flat bottomed ones.
Gotta have the cupholder attachment. It fits in the standard Crown Vic cupholder. Barely.
Bring a floaty for the pool!
I don't work regular hours and use stimulants to keep semi-awake/coherent. Coffee is the cheapest.
To me coffee is much like pop corn, they have the best aromas in the world but the flavor does not meet expectations.
Mm coffee pool.
And surprisingly helps prevent tooth decay (black, of course). Plenty of other studies showing moderate alcohol consumption can be good for you, too...though of course I don't think it's necessarily the alcohol doing the good work.
...and the only legal (unrestricted) one.

Turkish coffee is the bomb, yo
Anything espresso like is great for social situation and taste without the ridiculous large venti + cups people drink stupidly. Less is better. Drink water instead.Turkish coffee is the bomb, yo
Coffee is the only caffeine drink that gives me the shakes. I could drink sweet tea all day (but I don't) and be fine, I drink twice my normal amount in the morning, my hands move on their own by lunch time.
