my friends own a coffee shop where they roast their own single origin coffee in the light style of the day and their brewing method is cowboy coffee, which in this case really only works cause theyre at altitude

i miss coffee.

u shd get some

how do you guys deal with the withdrawals?

went cold turkey about 12 years ago.
3 days of fever/sweats/headaches etc
stayed off since.

One a day is usually not enough for the withdrawal symptoms to hit if you stop for a while. After my last cold turkey, I try to keep it to one shot and take a day or two off on occasion -- no problem.

Just gimme a little taste, man, I'm shaking real bad.

i love coffee and wish i could drink it regularly, the caffeine is too strong for me though and i get mad anxious as the day goes on. the first couple hours after drinking it are bliss though

so i limit my coffee drinking to days where it is okay to be a little wired and jittery and when 1) i'm going to be pretty physically active and/or 2) i know i can drink some beer later on or smoke some weed to chill out at the end of day

yesterday I had a keurig cup at the car dealer and a cup of folgers coffee at work

bwahahaha

sue yr employer imo

i used to be really wired/hyper, but no more, and to be honest, i don't miss it.

i just do one cup and it hits the spot, not too hyper, am capable of moving forward

sometimes i have another before i workout

sometimes ill have another if im tired and need to do work in the afternoon, this never works btw

usually just one tho

I now eat breakfast before I have coffee. Helps me with the jitters and the urge to drive fast.

i always take a lil food w my coff

my first one gives me a boost and makes me productive; if I have a second in the afternoon it almost always makes me wiry/jittery/speedy (like even moreso than I am by default)

once i get tired nothing can stop it i need to nap

I drink decaf. :(

Although sometimes if I'm really really tired and I really really need to get something done, I'll do 1/2 and 1/2 decaf and regular. Anything more than that and I'm flirting with a full blown anxiety attach.

Ha. Attack.

all the people I know who drink decaf are either women who drank it while pregnant or their significant others

My bf will literally only drink Nescafe and turns down actual coffee. It's amazing. I have...come to accept it as a hot, caffeinated, coffee-flavored drink.

I don't know that I've had it, is it better or worse than Sanka?

Confession: Costco had a ridiculous deal on Starbucks VIA Colombian instant packets, and I stocked up on them for rushed mornings, and honestly it's decent stuff.

Definitely by far best instant I've had.

Starbucks VIA is really good for instantly making me rush to the bathroom roughly five minutes after drinking. It's like an instant cleanse diet in a cup.

I drink Nescafe at home, but I'v always had a high tolerance for disgusting coffee.

Starbucks VIA is really good, but even when I drank caffeine, I could only use half a packet. A whole one would make me grind my teeth.

Also enough sugar and half and half turn a cup of Nescafe into a warm melted cup of coffee ice cream.

That's what I'm talking about--unfortunately I have to use almond milk so it's less creamy but yeah.

Can you do soy? Soy creamer is pretty decent.

Nope. Bloating for days.

Gah, that sucks.

I've hit the Aeropress and Moka Pot pretty hard for a couple of weeks, it's helped with the cutting down/quitting smoking to have a stimulant replacement. Every time I quit smoking before I'd have a massive energy drop in the early afternoon.

I checked my Paypal account after some auctions and found I had enough to get a real espresso machine - Crossland CC1 and Baratza Vario package from Seattle Coffee Gear. Psyched for this - between not spending $7.50/day on smokes and (theoretically) $2/double, it should be worth what I paid pretty quickly even with the cost of fresh coffee.

The only milk-like product I like is hemp milk - anyone tried that for cappuccinos?

Bonus of SCG is that they have a ton of videos on machines/technique and the main person in them reminds me of Jane Lynch. Plus the package I got was way cheaper than anything similar I could find (machine w/ temp control and espresso grinder).

imho milk in coffee is gross unless it's steamed. i think the milk sugar takes on a kind of sour quality next to the bitterness of the coffee. just like i don't like sugar in it either. the only dairy product allowed in coffee is heavy cream and ban fake "milks"

i was just scrolling up and reading about some of you and your caffeine problems and i just realized i drink way too much coffee in the morning :-/

At home I drink Lebanese coffee (Najjar) with coconut cream & (dairy) cream.

i put a lil half+half in there no steam

i wld steam it i guess steaming is nice

no steam available tho

cream in coffee is probably my favourite addition to coffee. Steamed milk second.

I tried hemp milk once and it was AWFUL. It was all we had in the house. I had to make new coffee.

ya id rather just drink it black, which i dont mind at all tbh, than use in any of those other milks, no offense to any partisans of the other milks

Me, too. Alternamilks can get kind of grainy, or they are just too thin. Black with sugar is nice, too, though.

i never put sugar in there

ban fake "milks"

My favorite kind of milk

I always drink one cup in the morning but the afternoon cup can be kind of rough, the thought of all that black acid

That's why I've been thinking about getting an espresso machine

Cut down on that black acid

Where would I put it though

Who would even have time fo rit

What is espresso even

i drank a cup this afternoon cause i got mexican food and thought to myself hmm a cup of black coffee with this

I think a whole cup is just a lot of voluem to think about when the day is more than half over

jus take a break to sip on a lil espresso i cld see that

i get espresso in my coffee (shot in the dark) most often these a.m.s
