I did a search for similar things but could not find any relevant threads. I just wanted to make a thread where we can all share and talk about all things caffeine.

One of my favorites (and one of the oldest) is coffee! I prefer dark roast over the others because I prefer it's deeper taste.

However, to chase away the late night blues energy drinks are an often used tool from my caffeine utility belt! I like NOS a lot, and it comes in a cool bottle!

Well, now it's your turn!

I don't care much for coffee. Regular, decaf, frappuccinos, whatever. Not my cup of tea. Not that I care for tea, either, but that's not the point. If I'm taking in caffeine, it's usually in the form of soda; generally Mountain Dew. I've also been known to drink an Amp every now and then. And of course, a delicious glass of pony never hurt anybody.

Just coffee for me since I'm trying to stop drinking soda at the moment. I don't like the taste of energy drinks, but Rockstar isn't too bad.

I cant stand caffeine at all. It literally makes me sleepy. I am not kidding, drinking any energy drink, coffee or anything of the sort makes me drowsy. I still have no idea why and I would love to hear some of your ideas, because I've asked my doctor and no help there.

Don't know if you've ever had it, but coffee pudding (or coffee jelly, I guess) is amazing, as is coffee yogurt.

Don't actually like coffee, though.

I'm a recovering addict.
Literally, an addict, as in I couldn't live without it. I still drink quite a bit of caffeinated beverages, but less than before.
NOS is awesome, as is Rockstar. I have one of each in my fridge right now, and I need to buy a few more to carry me through tomorrow...

I didn't start drinking coffee until University... then ... I dunno, It just kind of happened! It's also "roll up the rim" time in Canada. We have a coffee chain here, Tim Hortons, which has prizes under the rim of their coffee cups! I've won a free coffee and two free doughnuts!

man I've been there. I don't drink nearly as much now, but I still like a nice boost every now and then. When it got to the point that a NOS wasn't even affecting me I knew i had to cut down.

I love coffee... I'll take mine with quite a bit of milk, but that's about the only preference I have. As for caffeinated drinks, I don't really care about most of them, since the majority of caffeine I take is in my coffee.

It's almost scary! Nothing with caffeine affects me, until I don't have any! D=

I love those iced cappuccino things from Tim Hortons. Too bad I have a really low caffeine tolerance and two of those things gets me to a state I call "Caffeine Drunk".

I take mine with milk and sugar. My one roommate drinks his black and he hates me for it, but whatever, he can go to hell :p

Also, if you want to mix up your coffee experience the coffee mate flavour... uh, things are really good! Just make sure to get the liquid kind. French vanilla is my favorite!

Man I should go make some coffee...

looks like you're going to have to tough out a couple of really rough weeks O_O
I stopped cold turkey about 2 weeks ago for about 4 days, I was sleeping like 10-11 hours and just constantly tired. In the end I found a few cups of coffee would get me going and I wouldn't just waste the day so it was a nice balance!

I've been slowing down for the last month or so...^^;
Yeah, rough, but I can take it. Because I'm MANLY! Like a MAN! *Hugs a pony and chases it into a rainbow*

Gourmet coffee ftw (prefer dark roasts also). I picked up a Keurig single cup K-cup brewer and love it! It's perfect for the gamer as it brews a cup of gourmet coffee quality coffee with no mess or clean up. Pop in a K-cup push a button and that's it! Out comes an awesome cup of joe and all you need to do is throw away the used K-cup! :)

Well, now it's your turn!
I am in a loving relationship with my coffee right now. In a few minutes, I know we have to depart ways, but for now, the smell of my lovely, beautiful dark roast coffee makes me the happiest man in the world at this time of day.

I found this video [http://www.dumpert.nl/mediabase/406411/9dd3b855/koggie_iemand_.html], some sort of ode to coffee. It is French so beware, seeing some people here seem to despise the French, it is English subtitled. That movie illustrates my love for coffee, although the last minutes are a bit much I guess.

Well I don't drink much other caffeine containing food stuffs. I like my espresso, preferably the Italain kind (e.g. Illy), but generally I only drink normal coffee. Energy drinks are just poison, and I love them but they are a bit expense, so I'll stick to coffee.

Thank you for making this thread. I can't believe something like this wasn't here before!

My name is S.H.A.R.P., and I'm a caffeine-aholic.

Man that video was amazing! I don't mind french stuff, I'm from Canada so I'm pretty used to it!

I found this one coffee quote awhile ago:

Over second and third cups flow matters of high finance, high state, common gossip and low comedy. [Coffee] is a social binder, a warmer of tongues, a soberer of minds, a stimulant of wit, a foiler of sleep if you want it so. From roadside mugs to the classic demi-tasse, it is the perfect democrat.

Funnily enough, I've never tried the serious energy drinks, but I consider myself addicted to Caffeine...weird. Anyways I love Coca Cola and pepsi, could probably live off them, except for the whole needing water/other stuff thing.

I have had a lot less recently because I was to the point that I had headaches that were almost migranes from lack of caffine and I could chug down a monster and it would have no effect on me so I quit for about a month and now I just have a few cups of coffee a week and about a soda a day.
