Coffee

[markgm]

Today I purchased a 34oz Thermos so I could make my own at home and bring it to work to drink. The cost of Dunkin Donuts is slowly adding up. I was looking for awhile for a big enough container, and I think 34oz should cover it.

How about an option for my work provides it for free...

I drink about 2 12oz cups a day at work and usually none when I am at home.

I used to grab a coffee at the gas station and bring it to work but I've been hitting my snooze button too many damn times now so I don't have the time to stop. When I did get one it was like $0.89 I think.

 

[Zysoclaplem]

I'm too lazy to make my own.

When I was working, I'd take t full thermos' to work DAILY, plus drink a couple of cups getting ready, and take a couple of cups for the drive. Once I got to work, the coffee pot was NEVER empty...
Nowdays, I drink 2-3 pots daily, with a little help from my wife. (she drinks 2-3 cups MAX)
I don't drink it as strong as I used to either. Don't need the "rocket-fuel" anymore.
/me LOVES coffee...

Flawed poll. We finally got excellent coffee service at work, so now I drink 3-5 cups/day, all at work and pay $0.

Free coffee at the office. It's crappy, but I have grown accustomed to it. It's nothing a lot of sugar and creme won't fix.

I added work coffee to the list, I forgot that places do that. I usually don't drink any at home, so it'll be weird to have the coffee maker going off every morning. The only use it gets now is when I have company over. I gave it up for 2 or 3 months when I changed jobs and didn't notice any side effects, so I'm drinking it again (I like the taste of it.)

I don;t drink it at work, only at home. Sometimes I make a pot, sometimes I get an 84 cent refill at Sheetz in my Sheetz coffee cup.

 

[leftyman]

how much coffee did you drink to come up with a poll like this?

It's a sad, sad world. I worked at Sheetz (third shift no less) after I graduated high school and I never had a cup of coffee there. All of the drinks were free for employees too. I lived on the Mt. Dew shlushies. I miss those days! That was probably the best job I've ever had. I guess it wouldn't pay the bills quite like the post college jobs do though.

Free work coffee, it's not too bad, just a little weak. 3-6 cups per day during the week.
Weekends, I make my own coffee and drink 3-8 cups (not every day).

I just ordered the Thermos this morning (I couldn't find one I liked in any local store) and I'm on my second 20 oz cup for the day (normally it's a 24oz DD for me.) I kind of miss the coffee at IBM, I swear the cafe added Vivarin to it.

 

[hanoverphist]

i buy a cup now and again at circle k. they make it much better than i do, and im too lazy to buy and make it myself. i dont drink it regularly enough to really buy a big ole can of coffee, so thats what ido.

 

[nageov3t]

I don't make coffee at home... mostly because I have one of those single cup machine and was never able to figure out how to use it.

if anything, I pick up a cup from dunkin donuts on my way to work or on my way home and drink it once I arrive at my destination, giving it time to cool off a bit. there's a mailbox right next to my dunkin' donuts, so it's usually determined by whether or not I have netflix movies to drop off.

large coffee, no milk, tons of sugar ftw.

 

[markgm]

I can feel this cup kicking in. I wonder how it became okay to drink coffee at work but not beer.

 

[Martin]

A double espresso when I wake up. Sometimes with a bit of milk, sometimes with a big of sugar and if I don't feel lazy I make it into a cappuccino.

I work with a guy who's coffee mug fits about 1/2 to 2/3 of the coffee pot. How much does a typical coffee pot hold?

<-- doesn't drink coffee

I put down that I drink 6 - 8oz cups a day, but now that I think about it, that can't be right. I drink two mugs of coffee a day, but each mug can't be more than 12 oz. What confuses me is that I fill my coffee pot up to what is supposed to be 6 cups, and that will fill my mug twice with very little coffee left in the coffee pot. What do the numbers on the side of the coffee pot stand for?

 

[manlymatt83]

Its "I like my men like I like my coffee", not the other way around.

Fix the poll.

Coffee can raise productivity... beer, probably not so much. Unless you work at a urine production factory, then maybe.

 

[elektrolokomotive]

2-3 12oz cups/day w/cream. Free at work.

I only fire up my coffeemaker at home on the weekends.

Fix the poll.

I think we both failed.

Excuse me, I happened to be passing, and I thought you might like some coffee.
Oh, that's very nice of you, thank you.
Cream?
No, thank you, I take it black, like my men.

 

[BoomerD]

I like my coffee just like I like my women...

Hot strong and black...
Hot sweet and blonde
Warm, weak and tepid...

Take yer pick...

I think the actual coffee maker cups are 6 oz each, which never made sense to me. I found out the hard way when I thought I was being a genius for using the coffee pot to measure out 8 cups of water for something and it didn't seem like enough.
