How do you get your caffeine?

[Frission]

Sir, this is an outrage! An outrage I say!
I shall have you know golden pedigree little finger is stiffer than the upper lip of any knighted gentleman of today, and my etiquette more proper than anyone's born this side of the great brawl. My spirited mornings bemirth me as much tea as the colonials can bring to muster and I decree my manservant with noble regularity to ever so often collect the finest of Earlgrey from the colonies. Your hollow accusations are unbecoming, and I demand with firm voice they cease, lest I shall face you in the cold mist outside my manor for a gentleman's resolution!

Do tell me where you're having a duel, so that I may spectate, while drinking coffee so diluted with milk and cream that it's caffeine content is indistinguishable from sugar water.

Orange soda...

Who loves orange soda?

I do!

Is it true? You do, you do, you do-oo?

OT: Coffee doesn't do it for me; if i drink it it's usually at the point where it's more "sugared milk, seasoned with coffee". Mostly my caffeine intake comes from the occasional Baja Blast, when I make an effort to go to Taco Bell.

Sir I will send my Valet asking you for place and time. I name my second as Baffle, yes I know he is northern and little better than a strategically shaved ape but he is loyal and when he shot by accident at the pheasant shoot, he does not scream too much. So Sir have at you and I expect your challenge.

Spoiler: Tea.

<youtube=eELH0ivexKA>

Lipton tea. Usually Green tea citrus. Sometimes half and half or lemon flavored Lipton teas. Every once in a while, soda. Usually Mtn. Dew of some sort.
I like tea, but I rarely get fancy.

 

[Vendor-Lazarus]

I have my Indo-Chinese manservant hunt me throughout the manor, with blowdarts tipped with concentrated caffeine.

You, sir, made me laugh so hard that I accidentally spilled a few drops of my most favorite caffeinated beverage.
As a recourse, I have no choice but to train specially bred mosquitoes.
They will attack the moment you are struck by those blowdarts and suck out every milliliter of caffeine before it's glorious effect can spread throughout your body, forever leaving you in withdrawal!

I have a k-Kup machine at home and at my job, plus I go maybe once a week to Tim Horton (except now because I keep win free coffee so I go everyday !), plus I usually drink Coke Zero in the day

Kicking Horse Coffee. I buy the beans and grind them myself. It's kinda pricy, but it tastes amazing. My favourite of their coffees is the Grizzly Claw. It's an extremely rich dark roast. Also, I drink my coffee black.

I also drink a few different Energy Drinks. I like the zero calorie blue and black Monsters as well as the blue Xenergy.

Also, Coke Zero and Pepsi Max.

I drink a lot of caffeine....

 

[DeliveryGodNoah_v1legacy]

Well, I was, probably quite literally, addicted to energy drinks. Specifically NOS, Rockstar, and the Citrus flavors of Monster (those are actually really good, the orange one actually taste like a bubbly, powerful orange.)

I would drink at least two a day, maybe skip a day or so in between, but then get right back to them. They gave me heart palpitations.

I did not stop though. I'm a bloody idiot, and I still drink them. However, I have dramatically reduced how many I drink. The last I had was over a week ago.

As for coffee specifically? I drink a single cup usually before/during work. Then it's water or sports drinks. I do use single serving capsules though.

Holy shit. I'm sorry I don't have much to contribute, but this little exchange just made my day a whole lot better. Pity lack of thumbs in this forum..I highly anticipate the pistols at dawn to determine the purer of the pair.

OT: picked up a nice little number from Italy couple years ago, a Bialetti machine for about 80euro. It does Bialetti caps, sachets, and fine grounds, about 95% of the time I just use fine grounds though since my wife and I are known as coffee drinkers, most souvenirs/gifts that folks/friends give us are either beans or ground. I try to narrow it to 2 cups max per day, love the stuff. As I get older and *try to* watch my sugar intake, less of my caffeine is from frappucinos and such, though I do adore the occasional mocha homemade or otherwise.

Never really got on the boat of Nespresso machines, found them so utterly wasteful and costly, can't even use the old coffee to put in your plants or anything, just chuck the caps straight in the trash (unless you're willing to tear each one open). My mom did for awhile, but is back on the bean grinder these days.

While I enjoy a nice cup of iced coffee from my local bagel joint, in recent years I've switched to iced tea.

How do I get my caffeine? Any way I can being pretty poor. I'm quite happy with most any tea, coffee, or soda, but I have to be extremely careful with energy drinks, as I'm allergic to guarana. It won't put me in the hospital with an allergic reaction, or anything like that, but it is like hitting the empty button on my large intestine, which is unpleasant. So I tend to be limited in choice to the non-carbonated Rockstar sugar free energy drinks and Rockstar Zero(also sugar free). The good news is that they're at least sweetened with Splenda/sucralose.

For soda, I lean towards Wild Cherry Pepsi, Pepsi, and Mountain Dew. I love soda generally so caffeine-free sodas are also lovely to have. Coca-Cola though, along with some other colas... They're not sharp enough and they kinda taste like what I'd expect what a glass containing sweat wrung from a well used and never washed gym sock to taste like. I don't begrudge people who like Coke and similar colas, I can stand them if they're what's available, but Pepsi-cola is the superior cola.

For coffee, generally I only have no-name repackaged taster's choice instant to hand, which I can stand, but it's not very good coffee. I sometimes go to Peets' or Starbucks... Still I desperately miss one thing about my old town. Dutch Bros. Coffee... That stuff makes any other chain coffee seem pitiful.

Also I always sit on a large stash of teas, I especially love Stash Moroccan Mint Green tea.

 

[Risingblade]

I pump coke into my veins.

 

[Kaymish]

my Caffeine intake is merely a means to an end so i get it through the sugary super caffeinated energy drinks with ingredients like guranna thymine and sythasised caffeine extract mostly the big green V Energy and i only have one of those when i really need the boost i avoid caffeine where i can because i do not want to become dependent on stims i can feel it when i have more than 4 or 5 of those energy drinks in the span of a week when i go off them i feel very lethargic takes a couple of days to come back up to nominal energy levels
all other times i prefer green tea or strong earl grey with milk only

I have a burr grinder to grind my beans fresh for every brew. I use a drip brewer that allows for the use of kcups or single serving grounds, as well as full pots.

I tend to buy medium roast blends, I don't think people realize that dark roasts roast away a lot of the coffee flavor.

Other than that I will sometimes have tea, with sugar and milk.

On rare occasions if I am late for work and didn't get much sleep the night before I will buy a Five Hour Energy, which has 200mg of caffeine.

Sometimes I will have a diet Sunkist, which I hate but I'm trying to cut down on sugared soda.
