Coffee is a must for me in the mornings and i drink about 2 or 3 cups a day if it's good.Sometimes I will get an ice coffee when it's hot outside.

I know what you mean.  I'm not really supposed to have the caffeine, but I have it if I really need to wake up.  Colombian is my favourite, and I turn the pot off before the coffee gets too bitter, because I also like it cold with milk and sugar!  When we were kids, we used to have coffee milk.  A glass of ice-cold milk with one-third coffee and a few spoons full of sugar.  Terribly unhealthy for a child, but really good!

I find myself having a cup when I wake (or two!) and I will also have one in the afternoon (or two!) 


 


I think it comes from the fact that the job I quit kept me on an unusual schedule...2pm to midnight ---4 days each week...so coffee drinking was a little off timed from the rest of the world!!  I also use the SENSEO machine that brews one strong cup at a time...LOVE the consistent taste of each cup!

I know what you mean.  I used to work those horrid shifts.  I had the 5pm to midnight shift when I worked for the IRS during tax season, and it always went into overtime, working until 3am.  But I had a day job, too, and had to get up just a few hours after going to bed so that I could work my 8 to 4!  I drank coffee.  I've had other jobs like that years ago.  But a good cup of coffee or tea in the afternoon is just the thing to give you that lift, isn't it?

I drink a cup of  cappuccino at  about 4pm everyday during my short evening break at work.It does help to re energise  myself and get back to work and look forward to a fun filled evening after work.

I love a cup of coffee in the morning at work and after dinner. If I entertain in my home and people are there well into the evening, I want a cup of coffee because usually (with my schedule) I am an early bird for sleeping because I get up very early in the a.m. Coffee does not hamper me from sleeping if I drink it in the evening. LOVE COFFEE! Drinking coffee is like comfort food!

In the morning and before bed...I don't understand WHY but it makes me sleepier at night....

I usually only have 1 cup of coffee (or tea) each morning. If I have tea, it's the venti chai tea latte or frappacino from starbucks (with an extra pump of the mix/syrup or whatever it is). I can't drink it after 11 or I get jittery - if it's in the late afternoon I won't sleep good that night.

I was never really one to drink coffee until now.  I only have about half a cup of coffee in the morning.  I remember being a little girl and sneaking a sip from my grandpa's cup.  He used to put pecans in his coffee, it was so yummy!  I'll have to try that again as an adult.

Chunks of pecans or ground in w/ the coffee? Sounds weird. LOL Who knows it might be good, maybe I should try it with cashews!

Dana, my g-pa used pecan halves.  After I sneaked a sip I would eat a pecan and really they were so yummy. If you try this make sure you use a nut w/o salt (obviously).  Let me know what you think if you do try it.

I have coffee mostly when I need to stay awake. The truth be told, I once consumed about 20 cups of strong coffee in a 24 hrs time span and could  not sleep for two days, needless to say I  still drink  coffee.

I love coffee during the winter when it is bitterly cold.

Every day first thing in the morning. I feel like it gets me through the hectic mornings. I probably have two-three cups a days but I also drink an enormous amount of water to counterbalance. In the winter I add a packet of hot chocolate to my coffee. It's a sweet and warm treat on extra cold days.

 My first cup is always early morning when I am all alone either writing, editing, or checking my e-mail. There's nothing like that first hot and slightly bitter taste when it hits your tongue and wakes up the rest of my taste buds.

Hello, my name is Devi and I am a Coffeholic.


The coffeepot is the first thing I head towards in the morning, and a sip of coffee is the last thing I taste at night.  I can't fall to sleep if i don't!

I've been a coffe drinker since I was three years-old--thanks to my grandmother, who believed that nothing was "bad" for us.  I'm immune to the effects of caffine and can (and have tried to) drink coffee all day long!

When my eyes are open!  Seriously, if you cut me I would probably bleed coffee.

If they could make it so you can have an IV drip of coffee during the school semester that would be great too.....

I prefer dinking coffee everytime I feel so stressed it really helps me to relax.There is something about the coffee that I crave for, the combination of bitter- sweet  taste  reminds me  that it's just like life...A combination of "bitter- sweet" moments....

LOVE coffee...black is my favorite way, but I'll drink just about any kind. I used to drink close to two pots (24 cups) before noon. Really never made me jittery, but was a great appetite killer!  In the last year though it started to effect my stomach so now it's just a few cups. I did have horrible withdrawl headaches though. No fun.

Must, must, MUST have at least 2 cups in the morning just to kick it in gear... being in Texas in the summer I usually mix a pitcher of iced coffee on the weekends and nurse it all week... I also like it in the afternoons when it's cooler (for us that's below 80 degrees )

For some people, the caffeine actually has the opposite effect from what is usual.  People who are hyperactive especially find that caffeine makes them sleepy.

I must drink my coffee in the morning that is when I enjoy it most, sometimes I like it during the day it depends on how I feel.
