As a latte or Frappuccino ha

I LOVE coffee.

High school, but it was an occasional cup back then, not every day. I started drinking it daily in college. 


Are you picky about your coffee brandwise?
I'll drink any brand as long as it's good. I prefer medium-dark roast with chocolate or caramel undertones. I don't like lighter roasts with citrus undertones. They're too acidic. 


Any other coffee related tidbits you want to share?
I love iced coffee. One of my favorite summer drinks is the coconut iced coffee concentrate from Trader Joe's. It's coconutty, but not too sweet.

[wambam]

This makes me unbelievably sad! I have always been an…enthusiastic coffee drinker! But I cut back drastically to help my anxiety. So I’ll have to answer before and after.

Do you drink coffee? If not, what's your caffeinated beverage of choice? I effing love coffee. I love everything about it. But right now, I’m drinking tea (mostly golden monkey or earl grey).

How do you take your coffee? Black and medicinal strength. I take my tea with a small amount of honey.

Do you drink coffee before a workout? after? If I work out in the morning, yes and yes.

How much do you drink in a day? Before I cut back, I was having 4+ cups of very, very strong coffee. So it was probably more like 6 in terms of the caffeine content. Now, I’m trying to stay below 100mg of caffeine per day, so I can either have one cup of coffee or two cups of tea. Because I like to have some when I first wake up and some later in the morning, I’ve been choosing tea to keep my sanity.

How old were you when you started drinking coffee regularly? 19

Are you picky about your coffee brandwise? Not necessarily brand, but I like good coffee, which usually means roasted by a local coffee shop or otherwise sourced from people who know what they’re doing. I like Ethiopian and Sumatra coffee the best. For tea, again I just like quality. The earl grey I’m drinking is from the Empress hotel in Victoria, BC and the golden monkey I’m drinking is from Teavana.

Any other coffee related tidbits you want to share? I want my anxiety to get better, I really do. But I’m sort of hoping cutting back on caffeine doesn’t help so I can go back to my normal coffee habits.

[mrshandy]

Do you drink coffee? If not, what's your caffeinated beverage of choice? Yes

How do you take your coffee? a splash of whole milk

Do you drink coffee before a workout? after? always have to have half a cup, sometimes a full cup if I'm hungover. LOL. 

I drink 1-2 cups after. It's my happy place. A nice cup of coffee after a workout is the best thing ever.

How much do you drink in a day? 1 1/2 - 2 cups a day. Sometimes I may drink a little more, but then I get jittery and regret it. 

How old were you when you started drinking coffee regularly? I drank it some in college, but usually not first thing in the morning. H and I were gifted a coffee maker when I was 25-26. Then we started drinking in every day.

Are you picky about your coffee brandwise? I try to stay away from too cheap stuff. We just got a coffee grinder for Christmas so we grind our beans. I like it. But I will drink whatever is available when I need to. 

Any other coffee related tidbits you want to share? I'm baffled by people who don't drink coffee. I guess that's the sign of a true addict. LOL.

[breezy8407]

Do you drink coffee? If not, what's your caffeinated beverage of choice? Yes! A lot of coffee. And I don't feel guilty about it ever.



How do you take your coffee?
half and half and a splash of sugar free coffee mate if I am making it at home. If I am buying it somewhere, I get regular drip coffee with half and half or cold brew/cold press with half and half. 


Do you drink coffee before a workout? after?
Before on weekends for sure. I have to have at least one cup. During weekdays I work out at noon, so I guess technically I have had coffee before noon. 


How much do you drink in a day?
Oh boy. Half a pot on weekdays. Two large cups on weekend days. 


How old were you when you started drinking coffee regularly?
Not until I was 25 or so. I would have sugary expensive Starbucks/Caribou drinks in college, but not everyday. 


Are you picky about your coffee brandwise?
I buy Kirkland whole beans from Costco for brewing at home. If I am buying a drink I prefer Starbucks over Caribou (local chain) and will get that if I have a choice. I am fine with Dunkin, too, but we don't have a lot of Dunkin stores here. The cool local coffee houses in Mpls are not close enough to me to get regularly.

[sadlebred]

Do you drink coffee? If not, what's your caffeinated beverage of choice? No. I mostly avoid caffeine other than unsweet ice tea and the occasional hot tea in the morning.

How do you take your coffee? NA

Do you drink coffee before a workout? after? No caffeine before or after a workout unless there is caffeine in a gel or something I hate

How much do you drink in a day? NA

How old were you when you started drinking coffee regularly? NA

Are you picky about your coffee brandwise? There are some brands of tea I like more than others. At home, iced tea must be decaf Lipton. The Publix store brand is the only stand in I'll accept.

[lilypad1126]

Do you drink coffee? If not, what's your caffeinated beverage of choice?
Yes. 

How do you take your coffee?
I only like hot coffee with a splash of milk. No iced coffee, no sugar, prefer no syrups, though I do like flavored coffees.

Do you drink coffee before a workout? after?
I prefer coffee before working out, but during the week, when I work out before work, I drink coffee after working out. Because (see previous poll about time I get up) I refuse to get up earlier enough during the week to have coffee before working out.

How much do you drink in a day?
2-3 cups, all before 10:30am. Rarely, if ever, do I drink coffee after mid-morning. If I do, it's almost always when I'm on vacation.

How old were you when you started drinking coffee regularly?
31. I made it through college and law school without coffee, LOL. Then I gave up soda, and decided water was too boring to be my ONLY beverage, so I added in coffee.

Are you picky about your coffee brandwise?
I like good coffee. So, I won't drink crappy gas station coffee. But I will buy cheap store brand coffee for home, because I can mix it with my favorite slightly more expensive flavored coffee and make it taste exactly how I want.

Any other coffee related tidbits you want to share?
I'm baffled by my dad who says he's a coffee aficionado but makes the weakest, worst tasting coffee I've ever had. When I go visit, he gets all pissy when I suggest we drive 7 miles to the WORLDS BEST COFFEE SHOP and I'll treat us to coffee. And he's all, but I bought their coffee and we can make it here! And I'm like, Dad, listen, it's not the same. I drove 400 miles to see you, 7 more miles is nothing. LET ME DO THIS!

Yes!  I also love unsweetened ice tea of all varieties, but don't really make that at home.

Only because I french press I know, it's 3 cups, or 24oz.

Not for coldbrew, but for hot I drink only locally roasted whole bean. 

Any other coffee related tidbits you want to share?

It's become much more meaningful in my life since running regularly- it's part of my long run/raceday ritual and I LOVE the peace and quiet, even if it means getting up extra early to enjoy.

How do you take your coffee? Normally just black. If I feel like a splurge, then I dump some half and half in.

I drink coffee in the morning and switch to tea in the afternoon if I need a pick-me-up.

How do you take your coffee? I love cold brew with almond milk.

Are you picky about your coffee brandwise? I prefer starbucks americano.(or iced americano in summer) if I'm buying a coffee. At work we have a keurig, the coffee is not good (and terrible for the environment) but i do still drink it sometimes because it's free. at home it varies, we have a keurig too so I either use the san Francisco bay pods or else the reusable pod. I'm not super fussy on brand of coffee, but I don't buy the super cheap stuff (like folgers etc.) I prefer to buy something that is fair trade, etc.

Any other coffee related tidbitsyou want to share? I used to always take milk in my coffee but whenI did the whole 30 last year, I switched to black and now coffee with milk tastes wrong to me!However, one exception is- if I MUST get a coffee at dunkin donut (blergh) Iwill get an iced latte with skim milk and an extra shot

[shauni27]

al320 , do you mind sharing why you cannot have caffeine? I am curious, but you can tell me to fuck off, lol.

I just started drinking coffee since having Sage. I only have it on work days, one mug in the morning when I get here. I do a splash of milk or half and half (whatever is in the work fridge) and one stevia packet.

In the odd chance that I will have a coffee while out and about it will be iced with an extra shot of espresso and 1-2 sugar packets. I might add in a splash of milk. I know I am new to coffee but I am already a bit of a coffee snob--gas station coffee (which my husband loves) will not do.

I do not love the flavor of coffee and I only drink it out of necessity to stay awake

Id never tell you to fuck off, lady. Also, its not all that exciting.

It causes me to have these crazy attacks, my heart races, i shake, i sweat, like im dying. Im not freaking out with anxiety, but my body thinks it is.

Its also not a good idea to mix caffeine with wellbutrin, which i take.

I can have some, like i use caffeinated gu and have coke zero. But if i had a coffee everyday for like 4 or 5 days, it wouldnt be good.

[mrsukyankee]

Do you drink coffee? If not, what's your caffeinated beverage of choice? I love coffee but drink tea as well (England)

How do you take your coffee? depends on the coffee, but usually with a small touch of milk

How much do you drink in a day? 2 cups max unless I'm ungodly tired

How old were you when you started drinking coffee regularly? I think some time in high school

Are you picky about your coffee brandwise? if I'm making it, yes, I order through a company that I love (...but if someone else is making it, don't care.  

Any other coffee related tidbits you want to share? I love my coffee Ninja bar!  At work, people used to just drink instant and I was horrified. So I went and bought a coffee press and buy real coffee for the office. I've gotten a few people to actually start making it for themselves.

[thom]

Do you drink coffee? If not, what's your caffeinated beverage of choice?
Yes; love good coffee.

How do you take your coffee?
Generally plain. Just a good dark roast. During the winter when I really drink too much I might tame it down with whole milk.

Do you drink coffee before a workout? after? Usually yes to both. Maybe 1/2 cup before. Lately I've been skipping it in favor of hydrating before and saving it for after my run.

How much do you drink in a day? Well, I'm preggo currently. I try to limit to one reasonably-sized cup. Normally I'll have 1-2 in the morning and probably one later in the day.

How old were you when you started drinking coffee regularly? In college. Probably about 20. I started with lattes and eventually came to appreciate grinding good coffee at home.

Are you picky about your coffee brandwise? Like others, I prefer good coffee. We'll buy bulk beans of a medium to dark roast, usually a good store brand, Peets, Dunkin, etc.

Any other coffee related tidbits you want to share? I don't know how people in cold climates survive winter if they don't drink coffee. Or some hot beverage! I also like tea and usually have it in afternoon or evening if I want something hot.
