    I drink 2-3 16oz mugs of home brewed coffee every morning and 2 after lunch. Always with milk (whole) and sugar.

    It looks like I'll be reducing one cup in the morning and one cup after lunch soon. Other than that it's tea or water. I've gotten off the seltzer water kick at least until it gets warmer outside. I like to drink a hot beverage almost all the time. Iced coffee is for the birds IMO. My wife started drinking coffee again so I started making more and now that I've been feeding the caffeine monster he's grown to surprising proportions. Soon I'll be buying decaf and mixing until I ween myself off of caffeine all together. I've done it a couple of times before.

    My preference is Kona or Jamaican if I can afford it but lately it's been Maxwell, Folgers, or Chock. I actually really like Choc full-o-nuts. I usually get what's cheapest at BJ's. When I'm out and about and I need that fix I really dig on Dunkin'.

      I love my morning coffee. I recently found Kirkland's (Costco brand) Sumatra French Roast whole beans. It's an Indonesian dark roast with a fantastic flavor black. At about $12 for 3 lbs the price is right too. I use an automatic drip machine and it works great. I probably average 6-8 cups per day (3-4 mugs).

      I did recently get into Yerba Mate as well. It's definitely a different experience, especially when drunk the traditional way out of a gourd with a filtered straw (bombilla). Less caffeine jitters and more of a body high than coffee. There is a thread about Yerba Mate somewhere on the forum with links to more information.

        I used to drink way too much coffee but keep it down to one cup a day now. I use a six cup, stove top espresso maker. I favour currently, Najjar lebanese coffee, to which I add, cardamom, star anise, cinnamon, black pepper and cassia bark.

          One large cup (24 ounces) first thing in the morning and another one after dinner, around 7 PM. Without it I get the worse headaches imaginable that only caffeine can cure. Black, no sugar. Eight O'Clock Regular whole bean is my regular purchase, standard drip coffee machine.

            I love coffee. I like it best black. My favorite is Yuban. Even though it comes in a can, it is suprisingly better that most canned coffee. I also like 8 O'Clock, Dunkin Donuts and Biff's.

              There are a couple great local coffee houses near me. One roasts their own beans. I used to be a bit of a coffee snob, only drinking triple certified Fair Trade, Organic, and Shade Grown. My favorite coffee of all time is called Dean's Beans. Really good stuff.

              I only drink coffee black.

              I've tried Gevalia. The coffee was fine. They sent me a travel mug which was junk. Leaked everywhere. Couldn't even drink out of it.

              My coffee habit grew to be too expensive so I tried 8 O'Clock at the recommendation of a financial blogger I follow. I love the stuff and now my cupboard is stocked with different varieties. It's also always on sale at my grocery store.

              I may try Aldi's though to save a couple bucks.

              I use a drip coffee pot and drink a travel mug when I wake up. Any more than that and I can't sleep.

                I drink about 48 oz per day (3 of my 16 oz travel mugs). I buy the 2 lb Columbian Supremo whole bean from Costco and use my Cuisinart Grind and Brew (love it).

                  When I can afford it, my choice is Eight O'Clock French roast bean, otherwise it's:






                  Even though they are labeled as espresso coffee, I use them just like regular ground coffee. Prices are between $2 and $2.50. The stuff is pretty good.

                        I love coffee. I drink Buddy Brew coffee. They are a local roaster and the coffee is awesome. Their Balk Blue is my favorite but I'm working on a pound of sumatra right now. It is a little pricey so a pound lasts me about two weeks. I grind my own beans and use a french press.

                        Cafe bustelo is good stuff also. I have been known to mix a bag of that with a small can of store brand coffee.

                        Most of the coffee I drink is the stuff we brew at work. It is free, hot and has caffeine so I don't complain much.

                        I always drink my coffee black with no sugar. I also rarely get espresso or any coffee drinks anymore. I do like a good Turkish coffee every now and again. Those things are like crack so I limit myself.

                          I have been contemplating cutting out my coffee intake....I'm on my third pot of coffee today (no shit) and I'm pretty sure it's why I don't sleep much, lol. I love my coffee, I'm a Starbuck's whore, French or Italian roast are my favorite. I like the Gold Coast too, but can't really find it much these days, maybe they stopped making it. I've considered going to a decaf, but that's like using snus with no nicotine..and if I'm going to quit...I'll just quit drinking it altogether.


                          EDIT: I say all this and then got up and went and got another cup, lol

                            I used to drink way too much coffee................so I started drinking even more.......................just so I could feel better about the past

                            French press
                            Columbia Italian Roast
                            Little half and half

                            However, recently I have been drinking way more tea and really enjoying it
                            When it's my time to go, I want to die peacefully in my sleep, like my uncle did....... Not screaming in terror like his passengers

                              I've been a heavy, morning-to-night, coffee drinker for most of my adult life; light cream -- no sugar.

                              Like everything else for me, variety is indeed the spice of life. And lately that variety has soared to new heights, from straight blends to the tastefully exotic (like my recent discovery of Blueberry Coffee, among a number of others). And the Cuisinart SS780 Single Serve Brewing System, for me, is now the perfect accessory, with and without K-cups.

                              I've always shied away from decafs but I've now switched to a variety of decafs for evening enjoyment; I can now get a little more than my usual 3 hours of nightly sleep.

                              I also enjoy a number of teas throughout the day. Then there's the Mint Hot Chocolate and the occasional Sparkling Fruit Juice (sugar-free 'soda') and flavored waters. Received one of those SodaMaster thingamabobs for Xmas, so I'll eventually be experimenting with that.

                              Coffee, snuff and snus... caffeine and nicotine... what a ride........... and an enjoyable pastime!!
