Eeeeeeewwwwwww, I can't take coffee that early in the morning. A good
Ceylon tea, just a touch of sugar. Much more rewarding!

Isn't that ever the truth. Once anyone tastes freshly roasted, ground
and brewed coffee, they just cannot go back to canned.

There are five grades of coffee in the world: java, joe, jamoke, jamaica
and plain old carbon cleaner. You got the last one.

Why not find a local roaster in your area and try some freshly roasted
coffee?

Of course, it is a troll and you are on WebTV.

I'm a coffee addict. I get function in the morning without a good,
strong cup of coffee. Whole milk, no sugar. A good cappuccino or
expresso ain't so bad either. Ever tried expresso with a twist of
lemon? Adds a nice flavor.

I'm with you Marge, coffee is the first thing I look for, when I crawl out of
bed.

A couple of cups and I am ready to face the world. Then all through the day I
have a cup near by.

One of my personal favorites-- espresso with a slug of Baileys... give you
strength to continue shopping.

Well, find a *good* local roaster. I used to live by a roaster that,
while really trying hard to do a good job, still tended to only have
four grades of roast: dark, extra dark, burnt beyond recognition, and
ash. Some of the worst coffee I've ever had. But they did have good
bean suppliers so I could toast my own at home...

I recommend shaking the addiction. Due to a very bad run-in with acid
reflux, I pretty much had to give coffee up cold turkey for almost a
year.

After a month of not drinking it (which was a bit rough), I found that
my energy level was much better (and my stomach and esophagus were
much happier), and that I actually functioned better without morning
stimulants.

I'm back into drinking it, but only on an occasional basis, and find
that I am now enjoying it a lot more than I used to (and, on the rare
occasions that I do need a pick-me-up, it's a *lot* more effective
than it used to be).

As in many other things, the key is moderation. Having too much coffee can
upset my system, but a cup every few hours is not problem.

Have you found any social repercussions to not drinking coffee as
opposed to health ones? I'm the odd person who never started drinking
coffee in the first place. My parents drank coffee, and I assumed I'd
start drinking it in my teens as everyone else does except that I never
grew to like it. I'd taste it, say bleah, and go several more years
before tasting it again. At 46, the closest I ever come to coffee is
coffee ice cream, and even there, I prefer other flavors.


From time to time, I run into a situation where I'm the duck out of
water for not wanting coffee. Maybe someone will think I'm being picky
or high maintenance for asking for tea, or they'll think I'm a health
nut and looking down my nose at them for drinking it. Most recently, my
boss at work is nice as he can be when he goes to Starbuck's for coffee
and asks the part timers if we'd like anything. I always say no and
wonder if I'm being unsociable.

Only minor ones, since a lot of minor office politicking does happen
around the coffee maker. I don't usually let it bug me. And I
stopped asking for tea at meetings, since while we have decent coffee
(Green Mountain), the tea they have is horrid Lipton teabags. If I
really want something to drink, I'll usually dip into my private stash
of loose tea (TeaSource in St Paul, MN, if you're looking for some
good tea).

It was a bigger issue at my last employer, since when I wasn't
drinking I got left out of the mid-morning Starbuck's run (there, most
of the major politicking happened on the way to/from Starbuck's).

Comes in a bag just like all the other 8 O'clock brand coffee; available in
whole bean or ground. Look for a dark brown bag, though be careful; when
I'm not paying enough attention, I accidently grab the French Roast because
the bag color is similar.

I have tried just about every variety of coffee there is and I drink the one
that I enjoy the most. I can guarantee you, the Kona that is available
around here, is purely a device to show off how much money you can through
away - sort of like having a Mont Blanc pen.

Starbucks does have tea! But anyone who gives a second thought - or even a
first one - to your not drinking coffee has a problem of their own.

I agree moderation. I drink one to two cups per day, which I think
is fine. It's such a pleasure. If I did feel it was making me feel
unwell or really cutting my energy, I would cut back.

I have a tough time drinking starbucks, I feel a little silly ordering
"talls," etc. It's so packaged too, so it's partly a response to
overmarketing on my part.

Kona is so expensive, and I would think most people wouldn't be able to
tell the difference between a $8/lb good coffee and the kona (I'm sure
some would, but I bet most wouldn't). In fact, just recently Starbucks
got in trouble for selling a cheaper coffee as Kona for $21/lb.
