I don't get much of a boost from coffee, energy drinks, etc.

[Jon Miller]

It use to be that I rarely got anything. Then Gingseng started doing wonders... but I could still drink pots of coffee and have little effect.

Now that is no longer the case.

BAD MORMON!

[Jon Miller]

I should say that the time frame that I started drinking coffee in I was always really low on sleep. Like I would sleep 4-5 hours a night.

Right now if I do that much, it kills me. Sometimes doing it even one night seems to kill me.

if we sit down - also of the atmosphere of the coffee house.

1. Do you brew your own coffee or otherwise have coffee from the office?

1. Do you buy coffee from places like Timmy-HoHos, Starbucks, Dunkin' Donuts, etc?

No! Starbucks are teh evil - the Wal-Mart of the coffee world! Of the 'Big 4' in the UK I frequent Costa and Nero here in Cardiff. I also like Coffee #1, Madisons and independents like Atlantic, Cafe Europa, A Shot in the Dark, Chapter and Kappucino's

Depends on the mood: Latte, Cappucino, Mocha, Espresso...

3. What size of coffee?

Normally the small one (Vente in gay starbucks speak )

4. How many a day?

0-2

5. Why this brand?

The independents are cool, individual, characterful, cheaper, tastier and their smalls are often the 'mediums' of the chains

1. Do you brew your own coffee or otherwise have coffee from the office?

Yep, at least a pot a day. Lifer juice.

2. What brand do you prefer?

No "brand" per se, I go for higher-intensity types. Current batch just used was some Greenwell Farms private reserve Kona which I bought when in Hawai'i last month. Serious good stuff - you get the caffeine hit just from smelling the beans in the bag.

3. What flavours do you prefer?

Coffee. What a poofter question. Flavours.


4. Do you like your coffee mild, medium, dark, or extra dark?

Ideally, I like it to be able to get up and march under its own power.

5. Cream?

Some non-fat milk.

6. Sugar?

None, or a little fake sugar.

7. Drip, expresso, instant, etc?

Instant coffee != coffee. Espresso's ok in a pinch, otherwise drip.

8. How many cups a day?

Depends how big the cup is. I don't do those dainty little cups where you stick your little pinky out.

Chilled coffee when it's warm out, or when working, 2-4 large glasses with some non-fat milk, no ice. Hot, in the morning if it's cold, 2-3 large cups, then stick with hot or switch to chilled depending on how warm/cold it is.

9. Any other comments?

Above quantities don't include the occasional frappucino + espresso shots when on the road.

1. Do you buy coffee from places like Timmy-HoHos, Starbucks, Dunkin' Donuts, etc?

Mostly Starbucks.

2. What kind of coffee?

Usually frappucinos with extra espresso shots. Its too diluted, too milky and too sweet, but if I can't keep my half-gallon travel jug of serious, kick-ass, manly chilled coffee, then Starbucks is better than nothing.

3. What size of coffee?

9 inches. :???: As big as they have, with instructions not to throw away any overflow when they add the espresso shots. No molecule of caffeine shall be allowed to go to waste.

4. How many a day?

0-3, depending on how much of the day I'm out driving around.

5. Why this brand?

You can't go very far at all without tripping over one. There's something like ten of them inside O'Hare airport. At least four within a mile of home.

1. Do you brew your own coffee or otherwise have coffee from the office?

My own, only. Office/random place coffee is usually crap

2. What brand do you prefer?

No particular 'brand', I look for Arabica & Kona Blends

3. What flavours do you prefer?

Coffee! Only need flavors in part 2.

4. Do you like your coffee mild, medium, dark, or extra dark?

Medium's about right; my stomach tends to object to darker roasts unless they're cut with some mlik or cream.

5. Cream?

Usually a good pour from the half & half bottle; a really nice coffee I'll take plain.

6. Sugar?

A spoon ot two of turbinado, also depends on the size of the cup/mug/travel containerthingambob.

7. Drip, expresso, instant, etc?

Drip, in my 4-cup maker (that way it's always fresh!). I do have an inexpensive espresso maker, but I usually use that for cappucino.

8. How many cups a day?

0-3, usually 0, actually. My stomach would kill me if I drank it -everyday-

9. Any other comments?

1. Do you buy coffee from places like Timmy-HoHos, Starbucks, Dunkin' Donuts, etc?

I am guilty of supporting McBucks But it's hard to resist when it's so conviently placed right at the entrance of Super Target. I need fortifcation either before or after dealing with pushy soccer moms, loud kindergarteners and clueless teenagers, just to get my basic groceries

2. What kind of coffee?

Depends on the weather; hot I go for a Frappucino, cold a macchiato or latte. Caramel, Amaretto, or Mocha for flavors. Though I might try Valencia sometime, for fun.

3. What size of coffee?

Grande (medium) for the hot stuff; Fraps' depend on just -how- hot it is!

4. How many a day?

Just the one, and that's usually once a week.

5. Why this brand?

Because it's there ...


I may have to try that extra shot in the Frap' they have seemed a good bit less 'coffee' lately ...

1. Do you brew your own coffee or otherwise have coffee from the office?
Yes. My home is my office.

2. What brand do you prefer?
When I get into the city, there's a great little shop that imports fair traded beans from all over the world and roasts them on site. But more often, whole bean French Roast from the local grocery.

3. What flavours do you prefer?
French Roast, Columbian, Guatemalan, Costa Rican. Kona is great but way overpriced. I try different things.

4. Do you like your coffee mild, medium, dark, or extra dark?
Rich and dark. Meaty.

5. Cream?
Yes. Laely, hazelnut cream.

6. Sugar?
A little.

7. Drip, expresso, instant, etc?
Drip.

Minimum 3, often as many as 5. I love coffee.

1. Do you buy coffee from places like Timmy-HoHos, Starbucks, Dunkin' Donuts, etc?
Almost never. Only when traveling on business. I like Caribou. I try to avoid Starbucks, but they're everywhere. Dunkin' Donuts has a good brew.

2. What kind of coffee?
The most robust coffee of the day. I have been known to order the occasional vanilla latte.

3. What size of coffee?
If it's Starbucks, the middle one. Vente?

4. How many a day?
Usually just one.

5. Why this brand?
Based on availability, not brand. It's usually in a hotel or convention center.
