Yes, preferrably with an approximately equal amount of lactose-free low-fat milk and one or two tabs of artificial sweetener.

A few years ago though, I found out that pharmacies sell OTC caffeine pills which contain 100 mgs of caffeine (i.e. about 1 cup of coffee or 1-and-a-quarter Red Bulls) in packs that come down to approximately ten cents a pill. Since the times when you need caffeine often happen to coincide with those when you're too lazy to brew yourself some coffee, I find them pretty damn useful.

Although I have to say that in my travels I have found coffee to be inferior to coca leaf tea - used at very low doses (at 5 mg a teabag and slowly absorbed via the gut) cocaine is perfectly safe and provides you with a much cleaner, less "wired" boost of energy than caffeine. A shame that people are idiots and prefer to stick their coke up their nose in oder to fuel acts of douchebaggery, thus ruining this perfect energy drink for the rest of us (Note to mods: In no way is this intended to promote illegal drug use. Drinking coca leaf tea should only be done in select South American countries lest you get into legal trouble. Snorting coke should not be done at all unless you want to fuck up your life in one of the most expensive ways possible. Smoking freebase coke should not be done at all unless you want to fuck up your life and that of those around you. Injecting coke... do you even need to ask?
Really , haven't we advanced to the point where we can finally prove Atahualpa, a child-sacrificing dictator, wrong about whitey being unable to responsibly handle the coca leaf?)

I should note that my country, Austria, actually takes great pride in its traditional coffee houses with unfriendly waiters and tiny cups - to which I say: Bollocks to that. If someone else is paying, it's off to Starbucks to get a huge dose of solubilized caffeine, easily bioavailable carbs and interesting new flavors ;)

What about the rest of The Escapist, do you drink coffee? And when?
Please...(!) It's not about when, it's about how!

From a percolator or cafetiere, with full cream or condensed milk.

OT: Yes, but never instant coffee, so I only drink it at home, but I'm not at home long enough to really savour a good coffee except at the weekends.

However, that said, I need to get myself a new cafetiere, the filter's gone crap... :/

I prefer tea, but a nice cup of coffee is just awesome sometimes. I tend to throw in a retarded amount of sugar and milk, so it basically tastes like sweet milk, but damn, I do need that burst sometimes.

Yes, more than I probably should. In fact, I'm having one right now. It's no amazing feat for me to have 4 or 5 or so cups a day.

I've always loved the taste of coffee in sweet things like desserts or cakes and been drinking coffee with sugar since i was maybe 10 on occasion, started drinking it regularly and unsweetened when I was 16 I think it was, just use a little milk or preferably cream now.

I can't stand tea though.

I usually only have one or two cups a day. One in the morning to calm my nerves after a torturous night of work, no sleep or nightmares and one before bed to put me to sleep.

The nights I mentioned in which I don't sleep are nights when I don't have some coffee or am staying awake to do work (or game).

Coffee is a very relaxing thing and I love it.

I love the taste but caffeinated drinks seem to make me need to pee a lot so I avoid it most of the time. I can enjoy a nice coffee from time to time at home though, it doesn't seem to do much in terms of waking me up or giving me a boost so I just drink it for the taste.

Man, do I love coffee (prefer espresso). Unfortunately, it turns out that getting to the point where you drink a pot to yourself during an average dinner might not actually be the healthiest habit to maintain. So I swore off the stuff (and caffeine in general).

I occasionally cave and get myself some. It's more as a treat to me rather than a needed pick-me-up. That's what cold showers and slaps in the face are for.

Rarely drink coffee, because at cafés they only serve expresso, which isn't worth the money and is kinda bitter. Homemade big-cup coffee is the best one but sadly I don't have the coffee maker anymore.

Green Tea or chocolate milk are better substitutes anyway.

I cannot do coffee. I don't do tea or really any caffeine at that.

People think it is strange cause I can go on for nights with little to no sleep and still stay awake with no problem.

My uncle on the other hand cannot go to sleep without one...

I prefer tea.
I told myself, I'd only ever drink coffee if I drink it black--like my men--so I don't end up like the people at Starbucks.

If I don't get at least few Columbian Coffees a week...the guy I go too will probably knife me.
To be fair, his coffee is amazing.

Definitely a coffee lover here. I usually only drink one or two cups a day but that's only because it's hard to find time for more than that. Any day where I'm actually at home I will likely brew and drink a whole pot throughout the day.
