Do you drink coffee? How do you like it? And how much do you drink?

If you don't, why? Any other caffeine stimulants you rely on?

My favorite type of coffee is cafe cubano (cafecito, technically, because I drink it by the cup, not the shot). It's basically extremely strong "espresso" made in a moka pot, with a teaspoon per ounce of sugar that's ground into a paste with a little bit of the coffee, which produces a layer of foam on top when it's all mixed together.

When I'm afraid of getting the diabetus, I just drink straight black coffee, usually from a press pot. I don't stick with a particular brand, I kind of vary between Green Mountain, Archer Farms, and Eight O'Clock, which are probably the most decent store brands you can get. I grind it myself and all of that crap.

I somehow manage to only drink about 2 cups of it a day, 4 if I'm feeling particularly randy or something. I'm just really...into the process of making it, and kind of a dork I guess...
 
I have never liked anything to do with coffee or tea.

I see alot of people like the Ice Coffees and Ice Teas, however I find them just really unpleasant. >_<

It's strange because I'm the only person in my family who hates coffee. I have tried it numerous times, all different brands and what not, however it never appeals to me.

I thought it may have been just that I didn't like the particular brand of coffee I was given but it turns out it's just coffee in general.

Although I am in love with the smell of coffee. I could hold a bag of coffee beans up to my nose and smell it for hours on end. =P

I do however drink Coke on a daily basis. It always wakes me up. =P

Something interesting I came across:

I don't really drink coffee that much, this is partly because I don't have a way to make it at home. But I do occasionally get it when I'm out, or when I'm over at a friends place. I generally just go with a cappuccino with two sugars.

As for other sources of Caffeine, I drink a fair bit of Pepsi.

EDIT: Oh yeah, I forgot about Iced coffee...Iced coffee is sweeeet.
 
I haven't had a caffeinated drink since like 6th grade, I don't drink pop, coffee or any of that. And until last weekend, a friend of mine's birthday, I hadn't had an alcoholic drink in a looong time; He had some Corona and Bud, Corona ftw.
 
I don't drink coffee, don't really like it, although If Im really tired Il dink it. I prefer tea, can't start my day without it :monster:
 
I love coffee and drink on average over 10+ cups a day and like it strong with one teaspoon of sugar.
I also drink loads of pepsi and iced tea.
But its coffee ftw!! in my opinion
 
I absolutely hate coffee, it reeks of filth. I always associate the smell with cigars, old men and smelly old jumpers. It doesn't taste very appealing to me, either.

As for caffeine itself, nothing I drink has it in it, so I don't think I'll fall into craving it or anything like that any time soon.

At most, I'll drink tea but it's always decaf.
 
I don't like coffee really, it tastes rather vile, but I'll drink mostly anything from Starbucks. Cappuccinos and Frappuccinos are perfection. I'd go to Starbucks more than I do already if one was nearer to me, or if I had more money D=

To wake up on the morning I prefer a nice cup of tea, it wakes me up and tastes great every time xD

And I know how to make Tea, I can't make coffee...which might explain why mine always tastes vile >_>
 
I love coffee and love caffeine, but honestly I can't drink it every day. If I do I get these huge head aches from withdraws. I have a very addictive personality so caffeine is like crack to me.

Also Mountain Dew was created by Luscifer A.K.A. the Devil himself, if I get my hand one can of it, I'll be drinking the entire 12 pack by the end of the day. I don't have a clue what is in it, but the syrup itself is pure evil.

If I ever drink coffee I drink it black with 1 thing of sugar, and I hate star bucks. I like my coffee semi strong, depending on my current status (Hung over, tired as hell, or just normal). So there you go.
 
I can't stand coffee and I don't much like tea either. I get all my caffine from coke/dr pepper.

Mod edit: More effort in future please.

Ugh i hate coffee and i'm not really a tea person, so i tend to stay away from both of them. I drink energy drink like a mad man though. Usually at least once a day in the morning to really wake me up and keep me going...
 
unhealthy, so dont drink it and probably never will....nothing much more to say about that...im a health freak xD
 
I can't go on with my day without drinking it, doesn't matter if it's cold or hot i still drink it. I fill up the coffee machine each night before i go to sleep so i can just push the button in the morning to have it made for me to go.
 
I'll drink an iced coffee with tons of sugar and flavor in it every once in a while, but I have a beef with regular coffee because it smells so much better than it tastes :mokken: Deceptive nasal advertising. I do love coffee creamer though, especially that liquid International Delight stuff--I'll drink that stuff straight, without coffee. It's like doing shots, though, it's super rich :8F:Don't leave me alone with it.
 
I don't drink coffee. I can't drink it without putting too much stuff in it. For my caffine cravings, I usually drink soda (pepsi more often to be specific). I absolutely can't stand the taste of tea either.
 
I have at least two cups of coffee daily. Yes, I'm addicted to caffeine; I admit it. I actually get severe headaches if I don't have caffeine. But I also love the taste and smell of coffee. I like regular coffee, specialty lattes, cappuccino, etc.

I love Starbucks, Panera and Dunkin Donuts for on-the-go coffee. I'm a bit of a coffee snob though and I absolutely hate automatic drip. >_> I have to have fresh ground and pressed coffee or I get irritable. I also have an espresso/cappuccino maker when I'm in the mood for Lattes. :awesome:
 
I love coffee! =)

I also like tea but, coffee is my main thing.
I like all sorts of coffee but I like the ice tea and cappuccino an' what :awesome: I take it with me on the way to work just to get my day started.(sometimes) I love coffee but I can't drink it all the time :gonk: It has to have spo cream in it though >.> im pretty picky about that.
I also like to drink pop too but that's more of an afternoon drink for me xD
 
Ahhh coffee how i do love it, can't get up in the morning without it, then i drink some when i'm out and about,i'll drink any type of caffine based beverages, I do think i drink it too much though
:D
i also in love with energy drinks though i only drink them at the weekend since im all ways skint during the weekdays

Anybody ever put Energy into there coffee? it smells and tastes like sick >.>
 
I can't stand the taste of coffee honestly. Believe me, a lot of people have called me crazy because of it. Tea on the other hand is awesome, even though I don't drink it too much. However I am more of a soda person if anything. I don't drink caffine as help to keep me wide awake though because it never helps me. I really wonder if that is the result of drinking caffine too much.
 
I don't like coffee nor do I like any hot drink apart from hot chocolate.

However, I get my caffeine from Coke and anything else.
