    I am a huge coffee lover. It keeps me going throughout the day. I drink at least four cups a day. I know it is considered a lot for some people. I started drinking coffee when I was seventeen. My mom is a coffee drinker, too. She introduced it to me when we worked together. When I had it, I became hooked on it ever since. Now, my body is so used to caffeine, which is why it takes a larger amount to actually work for me. Espresso has a stronger effect on me, but not to the point where it is too strong. Even though this is the case, every little bit of caffeine helps. If I do not have caffeine, I start having withdrawals. For me, they can get really bad. I always drink coffee in the morning. I also drink it in the middle of the afternoon. My favorite brands are Dunkin Donuts, Starbucks, McDonalds, and Cafe Bustelo.

    I hardly ever drink coffee. I don't like the taste of it, and it does not wake me up in the mornings. I could drink four cups of coffee and fall asleep 20 minutes later. I do see how some people drink a lot of it and use it to wake themselves up. My aunt drinks a whole pot of coffee in the morning before going to work.

    I used to drink a lot of coffee till someone told me that drinking too much coffee can stun your growth. I didn't want to stay short forever, but I have grown over the years and I am still short lol but I drink water when I wake up it helps me stay awake and be hydrated

    Yes I drink coffee. The maximum number of cups I can drink each day is five. Well, I work at night and to perk me up I have learned to drink coffee. I now drink coffee to satisfy my craving than to keep me awake at night. Sometimes I drink tea or eat dark chocolate to satisfy my addiction to caffeine. I am aware of the possible negative effects of too much coffee so I tried to limit my intake to two cups a day. I must say I am still feeling alright.

    I am huge coffee lover! I have been drinking coffee since I was around 12 years old. Since then I have drank nearly 1L of coffee per day. I have noticed that my habit has some side effects too. If I dont drink coffee for 1 day I will suffer from huge headaches and trembling hands. But I really love my dark girl :)

    I'm hooked! this past year was amazing! I was able to get the Starbucks app and I'm there several times a week. I enjoy the taste of coffee. I have a Keurig at home and think it is amazing to have. Honestly , i spend more at Starbucks than I do at home. My Keurig is a waste. I started drinking coffee one year ago! Its great during the winter. I prefer iced-coffee during the hotter months ; the taste of sugar and coffee flavor together is a nice blend. I'm not a coffee lover to where I'm addicted. I am in just enough to know when to pull off.

    Hi, yes not blame anyone for that drink coffee! You must admit I do not drink coffee because I did not do well.
    Although my doctor suggested I drink coffee, specific voltage, but I refused, otherwise I can say about coffee is that the mother is a hardcore when it comes to coffee, I can say even gives strength and stability during the day.

    Coffee does not agree with me at all. It's too bad, because I like the flavor of it.

    I rarely drink coffee. What I love most is drinking hot chocolate and cappuccino. My husband loves to drink coffee and his teeth is getting a little bit yellow because of the caffeine. I know coffee is delicious and has its benefits, but I do not like the effects of the caffeine. I really enjoy a big glass of orange juice while eating seafood.

    I enjoy coffee, and usually have one or two cups in the morning. After that, I don't drink any more coffee, except on very cold winter days, and then I might have another cup or two during the day.
    I think that there is not a problem with drinking coffee as long as you do not drink it excessively, or drink it late enough in the day that you are not able to sleep at night.
    My favorite coffee is flavored coffee, and I love trying new flavors when I find them. Amazon carries a brand of coffee called "Coffee Fool", and they make just about every kind of flavored coffee that you can ever imagine (and a few that you wouldn't), and they sell them at clearance price sometimes.
    Since they like to keep the coffee fresh, they will start out at the regular price, and then lower the price so that the coffee gets sold right away.
    Packages that normally will sell for $12-$15 , would only be $3-$6 when they are on clearance.
    Whenever I am ordering from Amazon, I always look to see which flavors that Coffee Fool has on clearance, and try a new one or two.
    My favorite so far is "Chocolate Pumpkin Pie" ..... Yummy !

    I used to religiously drink a cup of black coffee every morning lol. Since I learned about the benefits of green tea I have weaned myself from that morning cup of black Joe. For me it is more beneficial, from a health standpoint, to drink green tea with or without pure honey. I cannot lie though I do miss the taste of my coffee lol.

    I do! I do! I do! I drink it twice daily at max. I would like to increase that though if it were up tome but two cups a day is the recommended take on it.
    Well, coffee has always been a favorite beverage by not just me but, i believe, the human race. Except of course if you are a lactating/nursing woman. Or if you are from England. lol
    Studies even show a lot of pro's of drinking coffee which makes you enjoy your habit more. There are abundant benefits to drinking coffee. There is brain power, anti-aging, energy and mood booster, and even cancer-fighter which are just some of the many said pro's.

    I am a coffee addict. I do drink 3 cups or more of coffee in a day. Even though I don't drink too strong coffee, I still do consume a considerable amount of coffee in a day. They say that drinking coffee has a lot of health benefits, but I personally just drink it because I am addicted to its aroma and taste. Some people don't like the taste of coffee that is why they don't drink it but not for me. I make my own coffee than buy it in Convenience Store, Starbucks or any outlet that serves coffee. I can make my own coffee and it is lighter for my purse as well. You don't need to spend much just to have your coffee every morning.

    I had some problems with my health, and, doctor say that it will be good to avoid some food. And, how about coffee? Well, it will be good if you don't drink coffee. So, I stop drinking coffee. First couple of days, I hate quitting coffee, but, after that, I think quitting coffee was good thing. Now, I hate even smell of coffee. I guess, advice to everyone, to quit coffee will be foolish, so, it's up to you.

    I love coffee, I like to drink a coffee shop just a morning fasting.
    Another after lunch, but always without sugar, you can taste it best coffee without sugar.

    I love my coffee. I drink it every morning and sometimes in the evening. When I get up in the morning do not mess with me until I have had my coffee,if you do it is not gonna be pretty! I have noticed if I don't drink my coffee I get a headache. I have saw on the news where researchers think coffee in moderation is believed to have some health benefits.

    I drink coffee everyday. At first, I hated coffee but it grew on me over the years. I liked tea as a kid but out grown it as an adult. I only drink tea if I am sick or if I ran out of coffee. Coffee helps me stay up and get my work done, the smell of freshly brewed coffee is the best thing to wake up to in the morning. I will usually drink four to five cups of coffee daily and I don't see myself stopping or slowing down my consumption anytime soon.

    I used to drink coffee everyday, but now I only drink it when I need to power through some work. Nowadays, I only drink chamomile tea every day, right before bed. My other go-to's are kava kava, skullcap, and damiana tea.

    I don't like coffee, but I like the caffeine. More recently, I have been cold brewing my coffee. I buy Strong AF Coffee - Rude Awakening Blend and I use a small coffee grinder on the beans. I use a funnel to put the coffee grinds into a tea bag. Then I put the tea bag in a water carafe, fill the carafe with water and let it sit twenty-four plus hours. It's extra work, but worth it for some slightly more flavorful coffee.

    Most recipes call for cheese cloth or sieves and removing the grinds post soak, but this method works just fine for me.
