Ditto.

I'm in it strictly for the kick.
The flavor doesn't really suit my palate, as well as not really being a big fan of drinking hot liquid (that isn't soup).

Good morning, heading to the kitchen to make some coffee.
My girlfriend hates coffee but she started me on grinding my own, still haven't found one that knocks it out of the park.

I have a plastic can of folgers in the fridge.



I had you pegged for one of these guys.

Looks like mistletoe dangling directly above a certain asset.

Someone might not like egg nog, but I do. Adding some in an iced latte is purty good.
What I call a latte is actually not steamed milk. It's just skim milk over ice and a heavy espresso shot. 11 grams of beans per shot, freshly ground.
A small amount of egg nog makes it hard to set back down.

Haven't tried many beans since I started grinding, but have tried 4-5. Pure Intentions out of North Carolina is pretty good for espresso.

I like coffee, but I can't drink a bunch of it. Usually two cups, tops. Occasionally a third.
But after a while, I guess it's cumulative, and causes my neck and shoulder muscles to knot up. Then I have to stop, endure the withdrawal headaches, and then start over. Been that way for 30 years.
I usually just do K-cups. I'm not too picky about brand, unless it's really nasty, or leaves grounds (like ALDI house brand. )

My cups usually consist of like a 20 oz mug. I press the medium button on the Keurig, and let it cycle. Then I lift and drop the handle and press the medium button again (using the original k-cup.)
I use one saccharin tab and a little bit of milk. Just enough to lighten it a bit.



I do put sugar and cream in my coffee, been drinking it that way all my life and not going to stop.
But I am trying to cut back on the amount. I never could stand the taste of saccharin.
Caffeine withdraw is not fun, but neither is the shakes. I drink 3 - 4 large mugs a day.

from Death Wish Coffee... they say it has about the same high caffeine as their flagship product, which comes next here. I think it has a smoother taste, and I would take it over the "Skull & Bones" version of Death Wish--which I am having even as I type this.

I have a Capresso machine that grinds whole beans and drip brews a pot, all in one fell swoop. Just "black" for me. Straight from the thermal carafe. No cream or sweeteners.

Someone gave me a box of Green Mountain Southern Pecan Coffee pods. It has good on-line reviews but I found it to be among the nastiest coffee I've ever tried. A sweet, almost 'syrupy' taste that is overpowering with an artificial butterscotch type flavor.

I do like a pecan flavor from this product, but I cut it 50:50 with a regular unflavored dark coffee, Folgers/Maryland Club etc
. $9/lb at regional retailer H-E-B.
