I've never been able to drink coffee, maybe it's the bitterness, or maybe the only coffee I've ever tried is really crappy. I've always liked tea though.

Love coffee, Usually drink Folgers. Enjoying a cup right now before work. Heck, my drinking coffee every day was one of the reasons my wife said she wanted to divorce. I'm supposedly addicted.

Seriously? You're kind of grasping for straws if coffee drinking is your reason for divorce :^S

Not the only reason, but she did mention my addictive personality. When she said that i was like WTF? I mentioned that Coffee happens to be the most popular beverage in the world. No response from her.

I like my coffee like I like my women: ground up and in the freezer.

Not an addict or connoisseur but I like it with lots of cream and lots of sugar.
(runs and hides from all you American black coffee nuts. More of a black tea guy.)

I live on coffee!
2 to 3 QUARTS a day!

I'm not a coffee snob, I like just plain old Maxwell House or Folgers.
My first few cups in the morning, I use Hershey White Chocolate Macadamia creamer, the rest of the day, I just drink it black, no sugar.

I'm drinking a Tim Horton's double double right now, it's pretty craptastic. They're cheap (compared to other coffee places, rivaled only by... McD?). Generally I'm not a big coffee drinker but I guess you could say that working in office environments for a while has grown my appreciation for coffee. I can now tell the difference between really crappy coffee and really good coffee - but not much differentiation between.

Some people, will get a migraine if they don't have their coffee in the morning and subsequent way too much of it. That's not me. I do or don't have it, don't really care all that much - it's nice once in a while but I'm perfectly content without it.

To be honest, if I drink too much I still get jittery and I don't like that. Some people like to drink TONS of it ... Some say that it's GOOD for you to do that others say you shouldn't really drink any at all. I don't really know.

"You buy a jar of Folger's Crystals, you put it in the cupboard, you forget about it. Then later on when you need it, it's there. It lasts forever. It's freeze-dried. Freeze-dried crystals."

Tea? Do you smoke pole too? :roll: I LOVE the coffee. You have to have manly taste buds to enjoy it. Not like tea boy up there.





Dave, I LOVE YOU MAN. :)

I love coffee. Two or three cups daily, with cream or milk, and splenda. Most of the time I grind and brew my own. Colombian coffee is my favorite, especially the Juan Valdez varieties.

I like good coffee. Unfortunately the free coffee at work doesn't apply. We have two flavors here, brown water and peat moss.

I drink 1 cup of coffee in the morning each work day.

I pretty much never drink coffee outside of work though unless I happen to be on the road or something and get drive thru for breakfast.

Hi, I'm DT4K and I'm an addict.

I usually make my own in a drip machine. I always buy whole beans and grind them right before brewing. I usually get my beans from Costco, if they have something that looks good. I like light and dark roasts, but I'm not a fan of Columbian. I prefer Sumatran, Ethiopian, or a Kona blend. I'm too cheap to buy 100% Kona.

If I'm stopping somewhere for a cup, I'll usually just get Starbucks. Not the best coffee you can get, but still much better than gas station, convenience store, or McDonalds coffee. And Starbucks are easy to find. There's a local place here in Charlotte called Dilworth Coffee that makes some good stuff, but there are only a few locations and they aren't always convenient.

I use cream and sugar, but not a ton. And I don't give a shit what the coffee snobs say. That's the way I like it, and yes, even with cream and sugar, it still makes a big difference whether you have good coffee or total crap like Folgers.
