Vashanti Posted July 1, 2005 Posted July 1, 2005 Mmmmmmmmmmm... caffeine surging through system. But, I only like it if I can flavor it up to make it taste better than bitter old coffee. And, now I'm out of the flavored stuff. Definitely get the babbling buzz from coffee, but it tends to hurt my guts (chronic illness), so it's a paradox. Do I wanna be groggy, or do I wanna be in pain? Anyone else have a love/hate relationship with coffee?

julianw Posted July 1, 2005 Posted July 1, 2005 I am more of a tea guy, but coffee does have more flavor. However, I much more prefer smelling coffee over drinking it.
Laozi Posted July 1, 2005 Posted July 1, 2005 I have hat same relationship, but with peyote. My mind says yes, but my body says no, and then yes, and then maybe, and finally where am I? I think everyone has about the say reaction though People laugh when I say that I think a jellyfish is one of the most beautiful things in the world. What they don't understand is, I mean a jellyfish with long, blond hair.

Walsingham Posted July 1, 2005 Posted July 1, 2005 I went through a stage where I was drinking a pint of coffee every hour. It works, but make sure you drink enough water. "It wasn't lies.

Darth Flatus Posted July 1, 2005 Posted July 1, 2005 too much coffee makes me sweat profusely but that is common - a factor in hyperhydrosis
metadigital Posted July 1, 2005 Posted July 1, 2005 I only drink milk <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I drank about a litre of milk a day, until I reached my mid-twenties, then I couldn't really drink it at all, unless it was in a beverage. I just didn't like it anymore. (I do like cream, though: cream on coco pops is something I treat myself to ocassionally, and cream on fresh fruit ... cream doesn't have the lactose of milk). Coffee is just like any (psycho-active) drug, there are deminishing returns to its effects. This leads me to have days without it, gradually tapering off and on. Normally I synchronise the upswing in consumption with some particular deadline, so that I am focused at the right time (e.g. Monday and the end of the week), so I normally ease off on Wednesdays ...

11XHooah Posted July 1, 2005 Posted July 1, 2005 *starts to get hungry* War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. --John Stewart Mill-- "Victory was for those willing to fight and die. Intellectuals could theorize until they sucked their thumbs right off their hands, but in the real world, power still flowed from the barrel of a gun.....you could send in your bleeding-heart do-gooders, you could hold hands and pray and sing hootenanny songs and invoke the great gods CNN and BBC, but the only way to finally open the roads to the big-eyed babies was to show up with more guns." --Black Hawk Down-- MySpace: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fusea...iendid=44500195

Kaftan Barlast Posted July 2, 2005 Posted July 2, 2005 A brit who doesnt drink tea? *gasp* I dont drink coffee or tea either, Ive understood that its something you must force yourself to drink in your late teens and if you dont, you wont be able to enjoy it for the rest of your life.

Deraldin Posted July 2, 2005 Posted July 2, 2005 I dislike the taste of coffee but I do like the smell of it. Instead I drink Coke and it does the same thing for me. "
metadigital Posted July 2, 2005 Posted July 2, 2005 Interestingly, I was passionately addicted to coffee flavoured milk and icecream and chocolate during my formative school years, well before I ever drank coffee. I didn't drink coffee for many, many years after starting university. In my mandatory all-nighters the night before an exam, I would decant a mixture of sugar and instant coffee in a ratio of two to one, until I made a drink that was too sweet to drink, and too bitter to drink, simultaneously. Much, much later I started drinking coffee again when I encountered the first of the boutique coffee houses. It must rate as one of the most civilized drugs; certainly very useful (concetration, attention, well being), right up there with chocolate and nicotene (all they need to do is remove the smoking part, nicotene is a very powerful stimulant, taken orally via patches is a much safer, if slower, mechanism). *goes off to make a cup of tea* OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
LadyDisdain Posted July 2, 2005 Posted July 2, 2005 I love dark-roasted coffees that aren't burned. I hate light roasts and will generally go without if it's my only option, unless I have a grant, publication or production deadline looming, in which case, I will suck it up and drink the caffeinated dirty sock water. Not really sure how this happened, since where I was born and raised, the directions for making coffee are pretty much: hold ages-old can of folger's near steaming water until it turns vaguely brown. Serve lukewarm with powdered cream-substitute. Bleh. I blame my dad, who's a transplant from proper-coffee climes. Black as hell, strong as death & sweet as love. Edited: As I'm not sure there's such a thing as powered cream-substitute. I'm not even sure I want to think about what that might entail.

Gorth Posted July 2, 2005 Posted July 2, 2005 I don't really like coffee, but my body needs it. So yes, it's a love/hate thing “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Nectar of the Gods, and handy for preventing the odd massacre. Certain brands of already-ground coffee do not make my stomach happy, due to non-coffee additives and filler. So it's always whole-bean, the darker the better, with one exception: Cuban coffee. Especially fine con leche, made with condensed milk, is instant addiction. I've sacrificed three expresso machines at that altar; worn them completely out. Just don't indulge if you're planning on sleeping anytime soon.
ShadowPaladin V1.0 Posted July 2, 2005 Posted July 2, 2005 I prefer tea. Cant think of a time when I was "addicted" coffee. I have to agree with Volourn. Bioware is pretty much dead now. Deals like this kills development studios. 478327[/snapback]
SteveThaiBinh Posted July 2, 2005 Posted July 2, 2005 Buying Fairtrade coffee (CafeDirect) is a much better way of helping tackle poverty than today's Live8 spectacle. I prefer TeaDirect, though. Didn't coffee overtake tea as Britain's favourite drink a few years ago? "An electric puddle is not what I need right now." (Nina Kalenkov)
