    Cannot.
    Live.
    Without.

    We buy our beans from a local roaster that roasts on site the morning before we pick them up. Sometimes they're even warm...mmmmm. Nothing better than a pour over though- I recommend trying it if you never have!

    I love my coffee. My favorite is Dalmayr but I can't always get it and have found that I like Eight O'Clock Central Highlands Roast too. I like milk in my coffee but no sweeteners or flavors. I use a French press.

    Love coffee here too! What kind of reusable k-cup do you use? I haven't found one that works well with our K10.

    I like all of the coffee. I had to cut back a few weeks back as it was making me tired, I can no longer drink the stuff before going to the gym or I struggle. But any other time I'm good to drink, especially at night when it makes me tired rather than awake like everyone else seemingly.

    I love coffee as well but have to watch my intake or I could seriously overdo it! I have one very strong cup of Starbucks in the morning, black. Once in a while I'll chug a small iced coffee on the way to a super intense workout... gives me a little boost in the beginning and caffeine releases fat cells into your blood stream for energy so it's always good to burn that up! :smile:

    I love coffee! It's amazing. I have to be careful not to have it too often because I don't like being dependent on caffeine, but it's so good. The intense taste, the intoxicating aroma, the comforting warmth of a hot cup, the refreshing coolness of a cold brew... *drool*

    Coffee is a must ..... I have cut back from where I would drink it all day like 18 hours straight to only having 2 cups in the am.

    I love my morning coffee. Depending on the day I either have Bulletproof Coffee or I'll do Iced Coffee with some Raw Milk. I currently use an Organic coffee from BJ's, but as soon as my local Farmers Market opens back up for the season I'll start getting my fresh beans again. Wish I could get them all year, but the company isn't really close enough.

    Coffee is life! I prefer to brew my own with a Aeropress - best coffee I've had, bar none.

    I drink a ton of coffee every day, all black beyond my first cup which has a teaspoon of coconut oil.

    I LOVE coffee however I have a tendency to overdo it, then end up with intense caffeine headaches when I don't have it. So I have limited myself to 2-3 cups each week. I drink various teas to compensate.

    I agree on the headaches - k-cups have been my saviour when it comes to limiting myself. Otherwise I'd probably drink a whole pot and man would the days I miss my coffee be hell.

    I use the EkoBrew s7a3kt2bf3lo.jpeg
    It tends to get grounds at the end of the cup but I think that is because I use an espresso ground coffee haven't had that problem when I use it with a regular grind.... It's lasted over a year with multiple daily uses I will buy it again when this one goes out on me

    I love coffee but recently got news that I had "decreased kidney functions" and have to do more tests. My doctor noted that drinking too much coffee can really affect kidney function (as well other side effects of too much caffeine and the tannins) so *sigh* cutting back on it now. Something to keep in mind- low in calories, yes, but like anything, moderation.

    I LOVE coffee, and I've been drinking it for decades. I used it drink it several times a day, but I've cut back to one or two cups a day. I've always preferred dark roast, I like it black, and I definitely consider myself a bit of a coffee snob. I switch up my bean source, but I typically get them from the following places:
    Mauch Chunk Coffee Company (super local to me)
    Victrola Coffee Roasters (purchased online)
    La Colombe I buy beans from their flagship location in Philly, but you can get them online, too. Speaking of their flagship location, if you're a coffee fan and you happen to be in the area, you must try their draft coffee and/or latte (they also now sell these in cans). I'm not sure if some of their other shops have the draft coffees, or not, but they are absolutely worth checking out!

    About a year or so ago, I joined the Kickstarter for an online store called Crema. They are a coffee subscription, but you pay when they ship and you can pause shipments as frequently as you'd like. Just add a bunch of beans to your list, and get the next bag in your list at a frequency you determine. Their mission is to make responsible micro-roasters more available to the masses. I love the concept. I think all their beans are single-source, as well.

    I have a cup daily! I stir in some organic virgin, unrefined coconut oil, too.

    I love my coffee. Lavazza (single source-not blended) is my go-to, but when I can afford the treat I have a local roaster just down the street from my office, that sources out ethical growers. It's wonderful.
