I drink tea most mornings, but during summer I don't really do it as much because I have time to eat.
I drink about a tea a day, but it's not coffee...
I sometimes make turkish coffee at home. It's delicious, though I do sweeten it a bit.
I love the smell of coffee. So good. Tastes like shit.
I get my caffeine from dark chocolate. Om nom nom.
I guess I feel similarly about drinking alcohol as you do about drinking decaf coffee lol
I think beer is some of the most foul stuff on the planet... wine smells too "alcoholic" and the other stuff?- well I never cared much for swallowing fire :P Wine coolers are even a bit much for me lol (so when I buy them I tend to have 1/2 when I wake up and 1/2 before going to bed).
Some people just like the flavor of certain things that others can't tolerate (blec- like liver pate *barf*). It doesn't matter (or matters little) if they get an extra kick out of it or not.
Over the years, I finally discovered that tea and coffee are "okay". I just like my coffee iced and flavored and my tea hot and with milk :D
I drink 1-3 coffees a day, 1-3 Black teas a day, 2 glasses of Coke and maybe an energy drink every 3 days.
Most mass market American coffee is stale. Even when it's fresh out of the can, it's still stale.
QFT. Why does the most heavily advertised stuff always taste shitty?Quote:
(Folgers. is. NASTY.)
It takes all of the fun out of it, doesn't it?Quote:
is it just me, or does anyone feel like decaffinated coffee is...pointless? sometimes I'd like a cup when it's late, but I don't want to be up all night, but I just can't bring myself to drink decaf because I feel like coffee is...so...pointless...without caffiene.
if I remember correctly (I was a barista for about a year altogether), espresso actually has less caffiene than a regular cup of (sans cream) coffee. (unless it happens to be a very dark roast, I think?) all the straight espresso I've tried...was good, but I wouldn't say it tasted like it smelled at all...just like strong coffee. I'd love to go to Italy and try "real" espresso o_o (also I hate it when people call it "expresso". ugh.)
probably. I'm not exactly a connoisseur, though I probably know a little more about coffee than the average person...it's been awhile since I've had fresh, freshly ground coffee...so at least right now Maxwell House tastes fine to me, I can't tell the difference, accustomed to it I guess.
because they spent all their money on the advertising instead of actually improving the quality of the product! (duh :p)Quote:

Like some things, most people have to make themselves like coffee. On its own, if you think about it, coffee doesn't have a very appealing flavor. Like beer, wine, etc. it becomes an acquired taste and I've long passed the point where I love coffee. I started out with quite a bit of cream and sugar, but eventually started drinking it black (I think more to appear grown-up than anything else). The "expresso" gets to me, too.
...And it took me a while to figure out "QFT." Don't feel left out.
I don't drink coffee often, but I have an iced tea almost every day.
Lately I've been drinking 3 cans of soda and 2 cups of coffee a day. oh, and a cup of tea, but it's sometimes decaffe.
i used to have at least 10 cups of nice dark black coffee a day. it helped me focus and i loved the taste of it yummmm. I also drank maybe 5-10 cans of diet coke a week. Then i went to the doctor and found out the reason it helped me focus, was because i had ADD, and stimulants help people with ADD focus better. So he put me on some ADD medication that was a stimulant, and i no longer had the desire to drink that much coffee a day. Maybe like 2-5 cups. And diet coke is just for the taste now. For some reason i like the taste of diet drinks better than regular ones. weird :P
I never was a fan of coffee really, neither taste or effect was appealing. When
I had a job in.. 2006 I think I started to drink very regularly for about 2 months
because everyone was just drinking coffee there - I realized that it didn't help
me be more energetic, the the contrary, I felt more exhausted. This in addition
to not actually liking it caused me to not drink it anymore, so over the course
of this entire year (09), I maybe had one coffee.. because I was invited or something.
As for Sodas, I sometimes drink them, sometimes I have a phase were it is
more regularly, but I'm much more drawn to juices, water and tea, tbh.
So not a caffeine junky at all.
have a cup in the morning if I'm real tired. I try to stay away from it though, gives me the jitters and makes me urinate a lot.
caffeine doesn't affect me so meh..
how do you slow down a fast metabolism
I rarely drink it. But when I do, it's purely for the taste (I like iced coffee). Cause I've tried drinking it when I'm tired/sleepy, dun help me at all lol.
Amazing how so much can change so quickly.
I now LOVE coffee. I feel in love with McDonalds McCafe's but $3.00 a pop was a bit much. So I bought myself my own coffee maker, some Hazelnut flavored brewing coffee, hazlenut creamer and I'm one happy camper.
But I've noticed something "strange".
When I was taking my anti-anxiety meds (Celexa and Strattera) my first large coffee of the day would make me jittery which I understand. Now that I'm taking a break from my meds, caffeine put me to sleep. What the heck?
I know this is TMI, but it also gives me diarrhea with or without meds.
How/why the heck does caffeine make me more sleepy?
Need I say a single word? (HINT: My avatar and sig should explain).
That shit has no effect on me. >:|
I have it about once a week, a soda. Not too much.
I also don't get hyped on it unlike some people.
