I am on cup 2 of coffee this morning, adn something awful has happened.... Both have been terrible.

One was from a pot i made at home before work, and this most recent one is from in the office, and they are terrible.. Both have been weak, not enough sweetner, and then there is the cream, which for me is almost meaningless if the sugar is off...


This is kind of like waking up on the wrong side of the bed for me....

Plus I'm listening to Sober right now, and now i want a beer....

Or better still, some Jack on the rocks..

i have been trying to break it, but the coffee here is free and the orange juice isnt.

Trust me, i wish i had way fewer dependencies... But I quit smoking years ago, and never got hooke don anything illicit (i cant even stand pot....), so that has to be worth something...

i think my only true addiction is thrift store treasure hunting.

i never did any drugs, never tried smoking (anything), i drink so rarely that you'd paractically say i dont drink..

i never drink tea, coffee or pop with caffeine.


i dont really have an addictive personality - i get bored of things too fast.


(except buying movies, books, music, and toys)

Coffee just tastes so good... I can't stand a bad cup though. I just love coffee itself. Chocolate covered beans, flavored coffee... I usually have a cup before bed.

Aww...I feel for ya, Vod

But consider this...Even fairly bad coffee, is better than NO coffee (otherwise, you wouldn't be drinking it) ;)


And remember back....To a time when you couldn't have ANY coffee at all...For WEEKS...Just before your surgery...Remember that agony?


That coffee HAS to be better than THAT



There...Did I make it a little better?

:D

I like coffee on/in icecream.
Iced coffee's gotta be strong though.

I like a good machiato, if someone knows how to make them...if not, it's a fuckup of a drink...

Espresso actually has less caffine per volume. over time, water removes caffine from coffee, so while it has a more instense flavor, it has less caffine than drip. :p

Depends what machine you use. I've got a 'one cup' stove pot that gets pressurised at high temps and forces the water through thightly packed ground coffee. I've compared it using the same ground coffee in a coffee machine and the kick is much more with the stove pot results.

Coffee & caffiene is wonderfull when you need to get things done on paper or on the Pc. My brain goes into overdrive and I've finished the job before I know it. Whether it makes any sence is another matter though. :D

I love to drink coffee, I always drink two cups of Starbuck every morning, with 2 packets of sweet and low, and two french vanilla creamers. I have been doing this for the past year and a half and I have yet to come across a bad cup !

Im not a big coffee drinker, but we get it free where I work so I've been known to grab a cup from time to time.

Being that I work at a convienience store, there's a ton of different choices, too. Usually I go for Cappuccino instead, but lately I've been going for this new stuff called "Double Blast"...twice the caffiene, but it tastes ALOT better than the normal stuff...
