Now that I have your attention...

How many cups of coffee do you drink every day?

I fought the erge to rely on this beautiful liquid throughout college, but it didn't take long after leaving to become a minor addict. Some weeks take only a single cup a day, some days I drink more than I do in a week.

So guys, what's you cup size?

Never touch the stuff myself. Who needs coffee when you can still buy speed? Wheeee!



Just kidding. :) But I still have never drank coffee. I heard that it makes a mans you-know-what smaller.

Sooooooooooo, what *exactly* are you saying, Spuds?:eek: :confused:

Don't drink that much coffee, maybe one or two cups in a week.

It's easy to tell Kat that you don't have a coffee problem because you ride a fast motorcycle. It's those programmers that gulp the stuff like it's going out of existence.:D


Ooo. I'm probably going to get in trouble for that.

Minimum of 4 cups every workday, usually 5 somedays up to 6. Weekend 2 or 3 per day....unless i'm working weekend too.

We Swedes love our coffee.....if i recall correct we're the second most coffeedrinking nation around .

I usually drink 2 - 3 (seldom 4) each morning at work. My first cup is at 5:30 AM and I am normally done by 9:00 AM. I do not drink coffee on the weekends. So I guess it can be called a social behavior thing at work.

Ok, I admit it... I am a coffee junkie. No sugar or cream.

Same boat here. Black coffee during the work week. I might throw in a double-double(2 creme, 2 sugar for those of you unfamiliar with the expression) at Tim Hortons, but thats mostly cause I like the sound of getting a double-double!

A espresso now and then aint half bad either.. I like strong coffee!

Do all caffeinated beverages count as coffee??

I'll have 1-2 cups O joe in the morning & then drink fresh brewed whole leaf tea all day long...black (mainly darjeeling), green (various chinese & japanese), & oolong (my favorite..good Tung Ting Oolong is incredible & good for an infinite number of infusions).

Espresso?...why not? Thanks Swede!

Like I said, I don't do coffee, but I do use caffeine tablets. I don't over do it with them either because when I do I just keep talking and talking.

I could never get past the bitter taste of coffee, but I loooovvvve the smell.

I am drinking a large travel mug of black coffee at the moment. Just black. No sugar or cream.......*slurps*

I have never found any joy in tea drinking. But coffee, oh my god. I owe my stomach ulcer to that fantastic brew.
Another question, do you prefer your coffee in a mug or a cup? I am a mug-man, I especially like to drink in my oversize two-handle mug :)

I like the hot green tea they serve at PF Changs in that little cast iron tea kettle. :) Almost as much as their Forbidden City Tea. (alcohol drink). *wiggles eyebrows*

Vitalmyles - First I would like to know what a “double double” sounds like? I am interested to hearing the sound myself. If I like it, I will order it.

Spuds & Tot – If coffee is brewed correctly there is no bitter taste. It’s all in the preparation my friends.

I must admit that my favorite coffee at the present time is Dunkin’ Donuts. Oh boy, do I like their coffee! That other brand “ SB." is too bitter for me. Must be incorrect brewing.

So let’s take this survey one step further. What is your favorite brand of coffee? You all now know mine.

How thick ???????????????

A nice bold thickness as per the standard for the correctly brewed process.

There's a local brand here that I like called Black Mesa. Not too shabby.

I reduced my intake of good, creamy café con leche, Puerto Rican style, to only two cups a day...I was drinking way too much and my stomach was going to hell...

You just haven't had good tea SS.

What's a cup?;)

I'll still argue for some bitterness. Dunkin' Donuts?!? I've never had it (I don't eat many d'noughts), but I have heard that people like it. I guess that I'll have to try it someday, but I don't have great expectations.

No it's not. Your "s" goes just on top of the little round hole. Which is what happens to me with too much caffeine.:o

That's why I go for espresso if I'm out. At home I can brew it any way I please.

blurgh...weak coffee.. I think we Swede´s (another "S", please feel free to sit on it Spud & Tot) drink the most coffee per capita in the whole world. What brand do you prefer Carlström?

While your wondering why Dunkin Donuts is so tasty it comes from a company called Mother Parkers here in Canada I would know I use to haul it out to the distribution center in Mass. its pretty good but it still won't beat a Tim Hortons coffee from what I've seen in North America Ontario has more donut shops per/capa than anywhere else around..but Dunkin donuts has better donuts.....(as he sips his Tim Hortons coffee...mmmmm)

A coffe geek friend of mine suggested Intelligencia coffees:

http://www.intelligentsiacoffee.com/

I'm drinking a cup O their Ethiopian Yergacheff

http://intelligentsiacoffee.com/store/coffee/africa_arabia/yerga

The label sez:

---------------------------------------------------------------
Spicy and deep, with a bakers chocolate and an intriguing sweetness reminiscent of honeydew and caramelized honey. A silky body gives the cup an enjoyable heft, and there is a pleasing resonance in the finish—a quiet echo of melon rind that fades quickly and smoothly into the background.

--------------------------------------------------------------

I dunno about all of that, but it is mighty tasty! Use plenty of beans when you brew! Delightful....


O! the quiet echo of melon rind fading... :D

I tried Dunkin' Donuts coffee while taking my son to college recently.

to quote Ro3b... "shrug".


The same service area had Lavazza espresso. I'll take that over the DD coffee anyday.
