Poll: Do you drink coffee?

[The Shade]

Yes, I drink a full pot of coffee each day. My preference is the Extra-Bold Sumatran blend from Starbucks, though when I go home for the holidays my dad makes me coffee from scratch. (Roasts and grinds the beans, water heated to 216 degrees, and so on.) We're pretty serious about coffee in my household. There's also a pretty swanky coffee place downtown that has hella-good Ethiopian blends. Make a mean Mocha, too.

When I'm at work I usually have an Americano (double espresso shots) in the morning and then a couple of dark roast coffees in the afternoon.

Also, I don't put cream or sugar or anything in my coffee. I like it as strong as possible, so best not to dilute it. I wouldn't exactly call myself an "addict". I prefer to call it a "Coffee dependency." I'm definitely at that point that, if I don't get my coffee, I shuffle around all day thinking I've been poisoned. And then the headaches set in... Even if you start drinking coffee again, the headaches linger for days to punish you. They want to make sure you never forget to take your medicine again.

Bonus Rant: One thing's for sure - I don't drink that Tim Hortons crap. Any time I do, I feel painfully sick the rest of the day. I'm all for Canadian pride and whatnot, but dear god! Anybody who claims to like coffee and then drinks that crap clearly doesn't know what real coffee tastes like. I've vomited up better-tasting things than that brown watery diarrhoea they claim is coffee.

I'm sorry, I can't let this go, having lived in Vancouver, and visiting both Winnepeg and Toronto, these people do not make good coffee, [...] pay the premium and go to Starbucks I say, they know how to make 'real' ground coffee.

See? This guy gets it.

2-3 cups a day...fuck all you coffee haters

Light-weight.

I dont drink coffee. Never have never will. I dont want the caffeen and i have seen how some people are apparently dependant on it. I dont want that. Smells nice though.

 

[natster43]

I drink coffee. I start everyday with a cup of coffee.

 

[FoolKiller]

NO!!!

It's evil, I say. It smells so sweet and delicious and then you taste it and its bitter crap. I would drink coffee if it tasted the way it smells....

 

[neonsword13-ops]

A year back my father forced me to try it.

I spat it in his face. He laughed. He said, "Taste bad?"

 

[idarkphoenixi]

Call me old fashioned but I only drink water...And the occasional Dr. Pepper!

 

[INeedAName]

No, coffee has enslaved you all!

 

[teqrevisited]

Nope. It smells alright but the taste doesn't appeal to me. I much prefer tea.

 

[Ham_authority95]

So how about it, do you?
I personally dont drink that "poison" anymore. My system just can't handle it very well.

Yes, poll isn't working some reason, let's just share opinions about the coffee.

Only every once and a while. I commonly do on saturdays during band rehearsal, but only as a social thing.

I get edgy and dick-headed from it, so I try to drink it when I know I won't have anything to be upset about.

Tea is much better for my morning drink. It has less caffeine and I don't feel like I just ate a sundae.

 

[XIII's Number XIV]

Nope.avi. I'm young, so I don't need it yet, plus the taste just...doesn't agree with me >.>

 

[trollnystan]

Nope, don't like the taste. I love the smell though, and coffee cake? YUM! =3

Spoiler: But yeah...

[HEADING=3]I'm a tea drinker![/HEADING]

You do know that coffee cake doesn't actually contain coffee, right? [/pedantic]

Uh, I've always made coffee cake with coffee. So has everyone I know. It's only like half a cup or what have you, but it's still coffee. What kind of coffee cake have you been eating?

 

[Zakarath]

Yeah, I have it pretty regularly. I haven't had it much lately, however, due to an absence of cream/milk in my house and I can't quite take it black unless I brew it very mildly.

 

[Kryzantine]

I do not drink coffee. I am a tea person myself.

However, I can see a benefit to drinking coffee sparingly. The few times I could drink coffee, its bitter taste would significantly wake me up. So I might try it during a morning where I don't give a damn, but those are few and far between. I'm already a late night / early morning person.

 

[Biosophilogical]

I work for Starbucks. Take a wild guess.

Personally, I love a good mocha. Quad shot, soy milk, extra whipped cream.

I'm going to go with no. After working at a fish and chips place for 6 months I could barely stand fried food.

OT: Yup. I was worried that I might be addicted (over-reaction, but I've never been addicted so I didn't know if I'd know if I was) so I quit caffeine for a few months over summer. I normally average about 3-4 cups of coffee/tea/hot chocolate a week when I'm at uni, and about 1-2 a week when I'm not.

If you mean coffee-flavored cake, then I'm mistaken. But I eat coffeecake, which is cake intended to be eaten with coffee. Go to any store and buy a coffeecake, and I guarantee that 95% will not actually have any coffee in them.

I've been with the company for 3 years, and I still love my espresso every day. Probably just addicted at this point.

 

[floobie]

Yes. One or two cups a day. Nothing wrong with it.

Like an apple teacake? There isn't actually any tea in it, but rather it is an apple cake that is meant to be eaten with tea?

EDIT: I've been having coffee since I was about 8. My nan used to make me really weak and/or decaf coffees after school (when I asked, because I liked the taste), and between late night football games (in winter, so coffee is always good), something to drink with delicious coffee-shop cakes, and hot drinks on cold winter mornings, I've been drinking coffee regularly my entire life.

Precisely.

 

[DEATHD0DGER]

my first thought was definitely *growls* DO YOU FOLKS LIKE COFEEE

So I'm not the only one?

OT: Nope. I don't drink coffee.

 

[Dissolve]

Yes, I drink coffee, always black without even a touch of sugar. It's much better for you than corn juice + caffeine. My favorite preparation is using an ibriq, mostly because it suits a light roast pretty well. I'm content with most good roasts, but I definitely prefer coffee just a little past first crack. Before you decide to hate coffee, you should try good coffee first. Just don't judge it based on the sludge you can buy at Starbucks and McDonalds.
