Do you drink coffee? Why or why not?

    I rarely drink coffee at the moment.
    When I do drink it I like it very milky and with added sugar (otherwise I find it unbearably bitter). So at the moment I just drink tea instead because (and only because) I can tolerate it without sugar.
    The one exception at the moment with coffee is that I rather like the flavoured latte's that Nescafe do in little sachets.....particularly the Gingerbread and the Almond flavours. But I probably only have 2 a week.

    Coffee is cheaper than bail money... 4-5 cups per morning.

    just got to work and our coffee machine is broken. Whole day is ruined!

    Not really, I had to go down to the restaurant that's on the main floor of our building and pay and exorbitant $6 for a 16 oz Americano served to me by a hipster with a waxed mustache and lumberjack shirt.

    Also agree with the Charbucks comments above. I used to swim with a guy that worked in Starbucks corporate office and he said that's what they called it there. Ironically the last time I saw him I ran into him at a local coffee shop where he gets his coffee instead of using his employee discount.

    Love coffee. Love the smell. Love it hot or freezing cold!
    Normally tend to just have one cup in the morning or the odd coffee from costa/Starbucks if am out and about. BUT when at work (3 days) to get away from my desk/boredom can have 3-5 cups which I need to stop because need 2 sugars each time 😭 always have mints/chewing gum at work 👍🏻

    I don’t drink coffee, it makes me very sick. I also don’t drink any colored sodas 😉

    No, because it's one of the most vile tasting things on the planet! I like the smell of coffee grounds though.

    Give me all the coffee. Except Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts. That's just brown water. The stronger the better.

    Almost every morning! I like a cup in the morning to start my day. I actually don’t feel like I need the caffeine that much, I just find it a delicious way to start the day.

    Iced coffee in the summer is my absolute favorite!

    Coffee is my go to. I drink at least 5 cups per day with a little milk and half a sugar. Love it. Like many here, I too dont get enough sleep so it's my liquid gold.

    I drink an entire pot of coffee a day. I drink it with almond milk and Splenda. I started drinking it a little over a year ago at the advice of my dr because coffee is protective of the liver and my own body is attacking my liver. I started off forcing it down because of being an adult and needing to do it but now I've gotten used to it and like it. There is a huge difference between brands so you just have to try different ones until you find a good one you like.

    There's coffee and then there's 'to die for' coffee. My 'to die for' coffees are the ones I have had in France and The Netherlands.....my Dutch friends make the best coffee ever ...... I drool as I type!.....the instant coffee I'm drinking at the moment is just ok. I don't like Latte, mocha or other expensive high street outlet coffees. I have to have about 4/5 coffees a day to stay sane.

    Coffee reminds me of a new day with new beginning. I drink it as a ceremony to start my day.

    I can't be near people who are holding a cup of coffee (without a lid). The smell is that off-putting to me. I need therapy.

    Don't drink it. Had it once couldn't stand it. I'd say it tastes like *kitten* but I've never eaten *kitten* so can't be sure :)

    I drink far more coffee than I should. 4 cups in the morning and 4 cups in the afternoon minimum. Is it bad? I think there are far worse things.

    So as I stated before, I don't drink coffee due to acid reflux. I forgot to add that I do have about 1 cup every 3-4 months. So the other day I had some time to kill and nothing was really around except Starbucks, so I went in. I have to say that the coffee was so bland and boring. I won't have another for several months. What a waste! I really need to find a local coffee company that makes a delicious brew.

    My husband bought me a lovely burr coffee grinder for my birthday.

    Between my husband, my 16yo son and myself, we drink a pot (72oz) everyday. My son is limited to one cup with breakfast. I usually have a cup and then fill my 24oz thermos to take with me to work (3 days per week). Work days, I have the 32oz I self brew and then usually an Americano in the late afternoons (I work 12.5hrs and don't get off til 9:30). Non work days I usually just have 2 or 3 cups in the am. If we somehow end up with any extra in the pot, I'll put it in the fridge (from room temp) and enjoy iced coffee later.

    My husband works at home so works on his portion of the pot over the early am.
