Status: offline 		Well I drink about three cups of instant during a work day, but never bother at weekends, and I usually wait until it is lukewarm. Not a fan of Tea either (which is odd as I'm British). And if I go to a cafe it has to be Costa, as their chain does the best coffee in the UK.

Regarding the tea vs coffee caffeine issue, the Tea leaf has more caffeine in it per gram, but it doesn't dissolve into the cup of tea, so a cup of coffee has more caffeine than a cup of tea.

I got a Keurig last Christmas. I thought it might be convenient but I was not expecting the fantastic upgrade in taste, which really surprised me. Green Mountain Breakfast Blend is delicious!

[note: I'd already been brewing arabica beans exclusively for quite some time.]

I started drinking coffee last year on an irregular basis, alternating with hot tea. I will drink from 5 to 10 cups a day... for the caffeine rather than for the taste. I must admit though, that since my electric coffee maker broke and I bought an old style Coleman Camp Percolator, my coffee has turned out pretty darn good... I'm actually enjoying the taste these days :) I do a lot of iced coffee during the heat of the summer.

Supposedly, coffee has numerous health benefits... but you know how these "headlines of the week" are when someone announced that {whatever} prevents {insert disease or condition}

Isn't coffee beneficial up to 3-4 cups a day but harmful in larger quantities?

Salt is good for you, eggs are OK again, artificial sweeteners don't cause cancer, real butter is better than transfat spreads, every thing you ever heard about proper nutrition is now disproved etc etc etc

Eggs and real butter are old news. Both being harmful was based on very flawed studies, with butter possibly entirely falsified to make people buy these horrible-tasting margarines.
Doctor Jan Kwaśniewski was already using his high fat diet for healing diseases caused by typical diet in 60s. Articles and books about his diet were first published in 90s.

I start my day off with tea or diet soda.



Diet soda is the WORST thing you can drink! Do a little research...



Not hardly. Relax wings7. Relax.

Status: offline 		Two cups in the morning. Sometimes three. Then, like another poster above, I switch to water for the balance of the day. Sometimes a supplemental Diet Coke here and there. Sometimes milk (still love the stuff). I can't tell you the last time I drank decaf coffee. I've always wondered what the point was...

Yea, my coffee drinking is actually pretty irregular... if I brew a pot I'll tend to drink it all rather than waste it (hot coffee in the morning, iced coffee with the rest of it in the afternoon or the next day). Tea, I always brew by the cup so that tends to be my regular drink on a day to day basis.

Status: offline 		I picked up a taste for hot tea when I was a yonker growing up in Massachusetts. If I drink something hot in the morning and I make it, it will be hot tea. A lady at work drinks hot tea with no creamer or milk. Like the guy in the Great Escape said, tea without milk is uncivilized.

When I was at college we drank hot tea. I dunno where the southern guys got the taste for it, but anyway, we were always poor as college kids are and I went to reuse a teabag. My friend Greg stopped me and says, "Cy, this is is the New World. We don't re-use teabags!!!"

You just had to know him. It came out very funny.

I have a Keurig machine these days, easier to deal with. I can just brew one cup at a time, rather than making a full pot of coffee and feeling obligated to drink it all.

And I prefer a good dark roast coffee, the stronger the better. I'll also brew a cup of Earl Grey tea now and then. Hot tea and shortbread cookies go well together.

At work...well I got banned from brewing the coffee. Seems I make it too strong for anyone else to drink.
