Yep, gots to have my coffee! Usually drink 1/2 caff, or just decaf, Dr's orders for my ticker. :(
I need to stop drinking as much as I do. Does the half calf taste the same?

Yep, I fresh grind my french roast beans every morning, takes about 4 cups to get things moving....
I'm actually getting a French Press this evening. Target has a Bodum on sale I liked, I knew if I waited till after the holidays I would be able to find something cheap.

coffee is one of natures pain relievers, so i drink quite a lot sometimes. my favorite that i keep at the house is a coffee and chickory blend that is plenty strong.
It only helps me if I'm having headaches.

In the evenings we like a cup of sleepy time herbal tea,its very relaxing and no caffeen
I have peppermint tea I drink at night. It helps with acid and indigestion.

Coffee lover ? Not really , a couple cups in the am to get me going , but you wouldn't like my interpretation of "coffee" lol
2 heaping tsps instant coffee , fill cup just past 1/2 way with hot water , 1/2 the rest of the way with sugar , finish with milk. Looks like regular coffee lol.
That's the way most of the world makes it. America, and the west in general seem to have an aversion to instant.

It's all you can get at my Grandmother's house, so when I went there for Christmas I took my own.

I drink way too much of it,so my Dr. and my blood pressure says.Been tappering off,substituting tea some,but it's just not the same.lol
I was told drink less or lose weight, I lost weight.

Definately not worth the price of the K-cups!!

If I had it to do over again, I would get another Hamilton Beach 'single serve' 12 cup coffee maker.. Our last one lasted 5 years, a seal went and it started leaking.. I probably could've fixed it, but figured it was time for a new one..

I do like the hot water for tea feature on the single brew!! I drink tea at night..
When buying machines I look for simplicity. Basically an on button of some sort and not much else.

Some drips will get a little hot a scorch coffee with their plates. All you have to do is add a little water to the pot before you brew (If I'm making eight cups I put seven in the reservoir and keep one in the pot) and it keeps it tasting like it ought to.

I'm not a coffee drinker,..... I'm a guzzler. I drink coffee all day long (10-12 hour work days) and till I go to bed. Got one with me right now. I've tried the kcups but too expensive for the amount I drink. I brew 12 cups at a time and rarely throw any out.

Yep, I like coffee.

I guzzle too. Gets it in my blood a little quicker.

I can't drink up till I go to bed, I stop at five and give my body enough time to get it all out.

I don't feel alive without the stuff.

Peppers at 4:30 AM, maybe when I was in college but my nearly 53 year old system would punish me horribly for such treatment. I'm an Eight O'Clock and Folgers kinda' guy - pedestrian, I know, but it sure beats the Maxwell House I was raised on.
I will suffer. It's one of the better coffees I've ever smelt. It should be good drinking.

i used the Cafe DuMonde before, but it's gotten hard to find now in my area. Community Coffee or Hills Brothers are the only ones that i can find now around here.
It goes in and out of stock around me. They must be having a problem keeping up with their orders.

hahahahahaha... listen to all of you.... I drink about 4 cups a YEAR..... this is how I have mine.... 1 cup of milk, 1/2 cup sugar and 4 oz of coffee.........:D
How do you wake up every morning? Just up and go?

I drink the stuff like a fish drinks water all day up till bed time, it never seems to hurt my sleep. Since coming to the Seattle area I've discovered the joys of gormet coffee. I brew it in a single cup machine. Lattes were driving me broke till I figured out a way to replicate them without the hassles of a machine. I make them with one part heated milk and one part coffee.

Austin, in the AF I was introduced to the concept of the tanker cup, as in aerial refueling tanker. It's just a giant cup you never let get empty.;)
I drink espresso, it would be hard and very expensive to keep it filled.

Also very dangerous. I'm already on the border of dangerous caffeine consumption.

My friends treat me like I'm a lost wonder with the amount I consume.
