Oh the suffering.

Agreed. I tried drinking it once. I almost choked. I am trying to learn though, because I am Swedish and here the stuff is like drinking water. Every social gathering has it, and it's almost considered an anti-social stance not to join in . It's like with alcohol, except alcohol=during night, coffee=during day. I don't drink alcohol either (except for cyber rum and other beverages on teh internetz ) - I'm a tea person.


Apsalar, shares her rum & cookies.

Coffee? Blergh, give me a good steaming cup of Earl Grey *yum*

On your side, mate.  Love a good cup of tea.  When I wake up in the morning until I've had my cup of tea, I'm so grumpy I would make Pescado look like a perky little blonde socialite.  And if I can't have my cup of tea, forget grumpy try I'm a fucking psychotic bitch to put it mildly.  We've got a water filter that heats the water to the perfect temperature for a good cup of tea, and I use nothing less than Twinings.  Earl Grey somedays.  I don't mind a good Irish Breakfast, either.  In a nice big mug, with fresh organic milk (you know, the stuff that still has the cream on top).  Preferably the pot brewed stuff, of a good quality leaf.  I can taste the difference between that and the lesser quality.  I'm all about quality over quantity.

Well, hell, Pescado. Maybe I'll just request a quart of blood from you everyday and nix the coffee all together. 

Ry, one suspects that you are in fact a closet vampire, not a pirate.

Pfft! I find it very unlikely anyone could out grump Pes I drink nothing but Twinnings Earl Grey nowdays; when I'm somewhere that doesn't do Earl Grey and I get normal bog-standard tea like Tetleys or PG Tips I grimance straight away. I gotta have my hit of bergamot or I can't cope I love my milky tea, so have shit loads of the stuff, but too much to drown out the tea itself.

[Immortelle]

I used to have bergamot growing in the garden.  Would harvest it, dry it, and blend it with a good black leaf.  Beaudiful.  Unfortunately, bergamot isn't the easiest plant to look after.   And Tetley?  Don't say that word.  An insult to tea.  Dilmah's tolerable.  But Tetley is just all kinds of wrong.

I'm just a gelatinous piece of organic matter devoid of any and all motor skills until I'm thoroughly caffeinated.

Current pick: LavAzza Crema e Gusto   Is good ya!

I drink nothing but Twinnings Earl Grey nowdays;

Aww, good stuff. I love Lady Grey too. Too bad that Twinings is rather hard to find where I live. Or good tea in general, for that matter. I was very disappointed when the only Harrods tea shop in the city was pulled out.  I prefer Twinings, but I do have a soft spot for their English Breakfast.

I prefer tea to coffee, but that's not to say that I don't love coffee. I love my coffee hot and black, just like my avatar.

So if someone were to introduce blood into your caffeine cycle, it'd kill you? Awesome. I'm sure your enemies will pay me a princely sum for this information.

I think you have reading comprehension fail. I said MY blood is apparently fatal to bugs. It obviously is not fatal to ME.

A vampire? Have you been keeping secrets, Ry?

Coffee is a sedative to me.

Coffee actually is a sedative to me too. It will wake me up for about half an hour, and then I crash. It's yummy, though.

My mom's family drinks coffee so strong and dark, it looks like oil and tastes like dirt from the lowest reaches of hell. I don't like that "coffee". I don't like Starbucks either, it's too strong and always tastes burned.

[SoggyFox]

I like coffee okay, but I much prefer tea - coffee makes me fall asleep, which is of no use except at bedtime.

Obviously. So I deduced that instead of a normal blood cycle, you must have something close to a caffeine/arsenic cycle instead, which would kill a normal human. I figured maybe the reverse is true as well and having normal blood injected into your cycle of poison might very well kill you. It's probably why spiking your coffee with arsenic hasn't worked so far. It's all conjecture of course.

Did anyone else notice that in every pic of coffee, there were ciggies too..   

Love my coffee...miss my smokes   

I must have that morning coffee and cigarette or someone will die. 'Tis the way of the world. My mother drank coffee and smoked when she was pregnant with me (her doctor said that all it would do was lower my birth weight and I ended up 9lbs 8oz anyway) and then when I was little I would take sips of her coffee when she was looking, but mostly when she wasn't. It always tasted so good! Well, later I figured out that that was because she prefers to use Carolan's instead of cream. She only let me have some when she was out of Carolan's! So, anyhow, I figure I've been preconditioned to appreciate the things that make one's teeth turn yellow.

Your 48-cup coffee drinking is no match for mine: I have the equivalent of over 100 coffees worth of caffeine in my system at any given time. Lesser wimps would DROP DEAD from that. But not me.

In the event of an accident, I want you as my blood donor. I know, I know - I'll drop dead. But I'll die happy.

On your side, mate.  Love a good cup of tea.

BLASPHEMERS!

Starbucks is the devil. I lived on that shit while driving when I was pregnant last time, and I NEVER had a latte without coffee grounds at the bottom of the damn cup. Nowadays I drink Dutch Bros when I get a latte and I am much much happier. It's not burned, not grounds in my cup, it's less expensive, AND when you say "I'd like a 20 oz.latte with almond" they DON'T ARGUE AND TRY TO TEACH YOU THEIR GODDAMN FUCKING MORONIC SIZE CHART. I mean, not that they have one - their large is called Big" and their smallest is called "small..."
Also you can get them to do just about anything to your coffee if you ask nicely. It's frickin' sweet.

When I was in high school and in my freshman year of college I drank coffee like it was water. I started doing it because I needed to stay up during some nights to study but it quickly grew into an habit. When I got pregnant I had to reduce my dosage considerably. The result is, I haven't touched a single cup for five years. I fell completely out of habit and now can't even stand the taste of it. I still like the smell, for some reason, but you can't make me drink it, not even if I really need to. Needless to say, I still feel like a zombie every morning.
The first Starbucks in my country opened a few months ago - yes, I live in the third world - and while I haven't tried it yet - hello, don't like coffee anymore - the few people I know that have given it a shot say it's not worthy. Tall cups of flavoured coffee isn't the way we roll around here, apparently.
