Coffee drinkers!

[ShankS]

Just getting into this coffee thing and have been trying different kinds of blends. I've tried Colombian (nasty) breakfast blends, morning blends, plain Jane blends. None of them have a real good taste. Any suggestions?

Sweetener lol I don't drink coffee, but when I do, its lots of sugar/sweetener to get rid of the coffee taste haha

[Kidrok (Hop)]

Like alcohol, it's an acquired taste.

I see no point in drinking coffee if it is mucked up by half a cup of sugar and cream.

Black is the way to go (that's what she said!) and like KidRock said it's an acquired taste but my favorite way now. I occasionally use a splash of flavored creamer but by splash I mean a teaspoon sized amount.

I never used to understand how people, "needed" their coffee first thing in the morning. However now I genuinely look forward to having it while I peruse the news in the morning.

For me it's just something I never started to drink. When I did, I didn't really like it, and to put enough sugar/sweetener in it to enjoy it kind of defeated the purpose of drinking it, like you said.

I did drink it when I worked midnights though, the caffeine and sugar really helped staying awake lol. I would only have one on the first break though, if I had one at 4 am then I wouldn't be able to fall asleep till almost 10-11 in the morning.

I drink my coffee black and like the darker roasts.

I recently had the Starbucks Reserve West Java (from Indonesia) and it was really good. But typically we just get Trader Joes Italian Roast or Espresso Blend.

Also, I suggest getting a French Press - makes a much fuller/richer cup of coffee.

French press is the way to go along with grinding your own coffee beans.

Using one of those, by far makes the best tasting coffee :tea:

question for you coffee drinkers:

I like coffee mostly for the stimulant effects. Currently I drink 1 cup/day and that is enough for me to get something out of it. How long does it take to build up a tolerance to the point where I will start to need more? How do I avoid this and keep my body sensitive to its effects?

I know some people that drink 4-5 cups/day no problem

What exactly are you looking to "get out of it"? If you want a cup drink a cup, if you want 5 drink 5...drink too much for too long and you'll have withdrawal headaches when you stop completely..do whatever floats your boat :-)

I like Smooth coffee..(fiance buys it and sticks it in the coffee barrel so I dont know the brand!) I have mine with all Milk and no water.

I have a coffee machine at home and everybody loves it when they come round...shame ive never used it!

I love Illy coffee. Not sure if you can get it in America.

I started drinking coffee about a year ago to help with cravings since my work provides unlimited quantities for free (Starbucks Medium Roast).

Even though I usually go for decaf, I have become addicted to it. I actually wish I hadn't started now. I'll usually have it black or with cinnamon/stevia/unsweetened cocoa powder.

I plan on stopping altogether relatively soon so I don't keep increasing my tolerance level.
