There is nothing like a good cup of coffee to help you wake up.
Word to this...though I'm not sure if it really helps gets me going per se. I could drink a few cups and take a nap right after if needed. However, I do love the taste of coffee after a nice long rest. Matter of fact, I'm going to go brew a cup now.
I had been out of coffee the last few days until i went to the store earlier. Saying that the mornings around here haven't been pretty, would be a serious way of putting things lightly.
I love coffee.... a lot. I drink about 3-4 cups a day. I basically live on the stuff. :thumbup:
imagine if like al queda went after our coffee supply. It would be complete and utter pandemonium.
I'm more of a Hot Chocolate person.
I just woke up from a nap and am waiting for the coffee to brew. :thumbup:
Nasty foul smelling stuff . . . give me DR PEPPER, the true nectar of the gods!!!! :cheers:
Years of experimentation, addiction, inebriety, and crapulence...and all that stuck was a love of coffee. I can't live without the stuff. Not JUST the caffeine... I like the smell, taste, and feel of it.

From Bach's Coffee Cantata.
Aria - Lieschen
Mm! how sweet the coffee tastes, more delicious than a thousand kisses, mellower than muscatel wine. Coffee, coffee I must have, and if someone wishes to give me a treat, ah, then pour me out some coffee!
Recitative - Schlendrian
If you don't give up drinking coffee then you shan't go to any wedding feast, nor go out walking. oh! when will I get my way; give up coffee!
Lieschen
Oh well! Just leave me my coffee!
-Ed
I used to be a coffee drinker (2-3 cups a day) but my doctor recommended to quit coffee after I got a nasty, stress-related gastritis. That was several years ago.
I still drink coffee but its more like two cups a year, and I usually pour more milk than coffee in my cup.
Every Christmas season I head to Starbucks to get me Mocha Pralinés or Gingerbread Latte. Love that stuff more than regular coffee :smile:
I would appreciate a good cup of coffee right about now. :smile:

It's weird. When I was growing up in Alaska, I never drank Dr Pepper. Then I moved to the sweltering state of Arizona, and I became a Dr Pepper convert.
Now, I just want caffeine, and it doesn't really matter how I get it. I love a finely brewed cup of gourmet coffee, boy do I ever. But I'll drink two-day-old coffee that's been sitting in a pot. Just give me the caffeine!
I do love good coffee, though. I'm not a coffees snob, but there is a world of difference between the 24-hour brew and a finely crafted cup of coffee.
Count me among the coffee lovers. And tea as well. My lovely Irish wife made me more appreciative of tea. It's par for the course in Ireland, where they drink loads of the stuff and not much coffee. Tea is absolutely automatic there anytime you drop by to visit anyone, doesn't matter what the reason is. If you drop by, the tea kettle gets going right away, along with a few nibbles. It's nice. It's just a part of the culture. It's expected. Kind of nice when you think about it, manners and good graces being an expected thing, that is.
Anyway, I got off the topic a little.
Yes, I LOVE COFFEE!
I buy Dunkin Donuts coffee beans then grind them at home. IMO it's the best.
Maybe with some nice Krispy Kreme doughnuts, even though I have to buy them in Philly, I'm in NJ.

Darksider,
Do you like your coffee dark like your name?
Coffee has very little effect on me. For years, I drank it at work out of habit. About 10 cups every day . . . maybe more. But I only drank it at work. If I was at home or on vacation, I would rarely drink coffee (maybe a cup with breakfast, but some days I didn't even have one cup). I never noticed a difference if I had 10 cups or zero cups. I can also drink coffee late at night and go right to sleep. I've cut down quite a bit recently. Sometimes I drink decaf or no coffee at all. But I don't come anywhere near 10 cups a day anymore.

My ode to coffee, well kinda. Short film I did a few months ago:
http://vimeo.com/18684952 (http://vimeo.com/18684952)
Coming from an Eastern European family full of mad, chauvinistic violent ethnic nutballs, I grew up on coffee. Been drinking the thick Turkish coffee in demi-tasse cups since I was about 12 years old. And I mean coffee so thick you could stand up your spoon in it. :thumbup:
One thing that always brings a smile to my face: a well made cup of coffee.
One that that always makes me scream with rage: a badly made cup of coffee.
Living in this country we are absolutely spoiled for choice when it comes to good coffee. Even the tiniest little hole in the wall street coffee cart serves up a cup that the Gods themselves would weep over.
Okay, so I'm waxing lyrical a little, but it's no word of a lie. I always buy my own beans and brew a pot at home. So if any of you are at my end the world, you're very welcome at my place to try a smashing cuppa joe. :cheers:

When I was in Turin in 2003 for a conference, they served coffee so strong and dark you could dye your socks in it. :buggedout: It was good though but the Fanta orange they served tasted like p*ss. :buggedout: :buggedout:

Okay Trevor, I don't even want to know how you know what p*ss tastes like :teddyr:
For my own sanity's sake I'll just pretend it's one of those logical assumption things :bouncegiggle:

Whimper.... Forget Manard's fascination, I'm hooked. Anatomy is anatomy, coffee is forever.
I the strip of civilization from Eugene Oregon to VAncouver BC, sublime coffee is easily available, and I don't mean in stores featuring a badly drawn mermaid iover the door.
Coffee, fog, fruit and beer, its why I live where I do.

Those are all reasons why I love the PNW. I do want to move there one day. The microbrews I drank steadily while in Portland and Eugene were wonderful.
Aparently if women drink coffee it lowers the odds that they will get a stroke.

Coffee. Is there anything it CAN'T do?
I like to start the day with a couple of large coffees. And I'll grab another one in the afternoon. More than that and I start to get jittery, but if I could, I'd probably drink coffee all day. I like it.
I think I had TOO much coffee today... I started with 2 large cups and now with lunch I had a large Pepsi.
Now I have the "caffeine shakes". :twirl:
I like coffee, but my toilet doesn't like the punishment I rain upon it after a couple cups of joe. :hot:
