coffee!
Ever since I got into college, I have become more appreciative of coffee. Coffee has helped me stay awake during even the most boring of classes. [drool]
I take my coffee with a lot of milk and 5 spoonfuls of sugar. Otherwise, it's too bitter and gross for me. ;_; Do you guys like coffee? How do you take your coffee? What has coffee helped you do? :p |
I love coffee, but I'm trying to give it up. My body is much happier and healthier without it.
I just wish that it didn't smell so good, I'm always being tempted. [drool] |
I don't often drink coffee. Typically once a month, maybe. And when I do, never too much. It makes me shaky.
Don't like it black. Typically I add vanilla creamer. ... Or a packet of cocoa. [ninja] |
Yeah, coffee can cause some health issues. ;-; I'm glad you're trying to give it up, Knerd! [yes]
Is there a special occasion that prompts you to drink coffee, Howdy? :o |
On the grand holiday of 'Too Sleepy to Function'. ;D
|
I have only sipped a bit of coffee a few times in my life. I am trying not to get into the habit of drinking coffee for the caffeine, although I acknowledge that this beverage has helped many of my friends stay awake and be more productive.

Coffee is a way of life.It is the fuel that drives the student at 2am the day their final project is due. It is the vehicle that sends millions of people to work everyday. It is the liquid that was rumored to stunt growth yet still let my body grow taller than six feet. Coffee is a way of life.
-a short poem by 2600- (seriously, don't even ask me how much coffee I have had in this lifetime. They have been telling me I would regret drinking it since I was in fourth grade.) |
Five sugars!! D<
I don't drink coffee, my body can't handle the caffeine, I feel like the top of my head has unscrewed and floated away. So if I have coffee it has to be made with 100% milk to stop it from doing that >< |
That's my favorite holiday, Howdy! [eager]
Sal, I congratulate you on your ability to stay away from the coffee demons. [ninja] I completely agree with your poem, 2600. :P I've been drinking coffee every once in a while since I was a youngin'. Coffee tastes like dirt if there's less sugar than that, Jelly! [illgetu] I like it really sweet... ;-; |
Coffee helps me remember how to human in the mornings. It's helped me stay awake for class after a 12 hour work day. I prefer mine with a flavored creamer, usually french vanilla but pumpkin spice is my favorite. I like it extra sweet.

@Elirona - Thank you ^_^
@everyone - Be careful with what you drink with that beverage! I have a college student friend who alternated between drinking coffee and Red Bull in an attempt to stay awake for class and studying. He ended up having to go to the health center in the middle of an exam. Thankfully, the professor was understanding of his situation. But of course he had me very worried. So, of course I trust that most people will not experience this situation, but I still want to tell you to be careful, everyone! No drinking too much coffee and Red Bull at once! |
I'm up at 6:45 AM for some reason. [zzz] Thank you, coffee, for making me more awake at the moment. :p
@Sal: People do some really stupid things with coffee. I had a friend in college who would get a big coffee cup full of expresso shots, and that barely kept her awake. I tried it once. It tasted disgusting. [ninja] |
Honestly, I never drank coffee for the sake of caffeine. It's just the taste and the smell that appeal to me. Sure, a little coffee might keep me more focused throughout the day, but it was never a big deal to skip a cup.
I remember when one of my friends went through caffeine withdrawal - That was not a fun week for her! I'm glad that I've never quite gotten to that point. |
*unrepentantly drinks coffee at 11pm* [whatev]
I prefer to take my coffee strong and black. It's usually for comfort, as coffee has a tendency to put me to sleep if they're not at least 3 shots in a cup. [lol] If I do need to stay awake for some reason to burn the midnight oil, I make do with a strong pot of bitter chinese tea. \o/ |
@Iroase Delschatten - I thought coffee usually keeps people awake, as opposed to putting them to sleep. Interesting that it seems the opposite for you ^_^ I wonder why coffee and tea do not work the same in this situation.

I started drinking coffee for the taste of it, but when I got into college I really became dependent on the caffeine. I was drinking several large cups a day at my peak, and it was basically impossible for me to write my papers without that caffeine buzz. Finally I decided that I was too stressed out and the coffee was making it worse, so I quit coffee almost entirely (brought it down to once a week, max). I kept my coffee intake pretty low this past year, but since I started grad school, it's been creeping back up again. These days, I try to limit myself to one small cup at breakfast. [sweat] |

But it was the taste and smell that started all this. I was like 3 or 4 when I started sneaking sips of my Grandmother's coffee. Not sure why a kid would like it but I did. |
I pretty much only drink coffee if there's a bunch of sugar and cream involved, and even then I don't really drink it that often. I really love the smell of it, though. [drool]
|
I have a drip machine, a French press, and an espresso machine.
Coffee is okay when it's all I have, or if I'm not feeling well. I much prefer a latte with 2-4 shots of espresso ;) |
When im at work, i drink it black.when im at home i like it with half and half.i absulutly love the smell of coffee brewing.
|
Coffee! Who's got coffee? Gimme coffee!
*spots a cup of coffee and gulps it down in one shot* Sorry, was that someone else's coffee [oops] |
Im on my 5th cup today.im done after this one thou.for today..lol
|
I don't think I could ever drink more than two cups of coffee in a day. :P
|
I can drink how much ever I can get my hands on. But I get incredibly shaky after that lol. My friend's worse. His leg starts shaking and won't stop unless someone holds it in place for a whole minute.
|
I tend to get caffeine hheadaches if I drink too much coffee.
