Coffee!!

[Maxs_MumMy]

Hi everyone....

The topic is coffee as i wanna know who drinks coffee, why you drink coffee,when did you start to drink coffee?????

I personally have never touched coffee ever as when i was little( 15yrs +) my dad used to say don't drink it as its a drug...funny, stupid all in one i know...though he never said this about Coke, so i drink loads of coke...which is bad as well...

Though i'm sick of ordering hot chocolates at meetings!!...lol....(sounds werid doesn't)

I love the smell of coffee, love coffee cake but drinking it is a different thing all together..

How do i ease myself to drinking coffee and liking it????

I hated coffee for years and years and could never understand what people saw in it - However I discovered my distaste for it was because those around me drank very strong bitter coffee and this is why I didnt like it. I tried drinking a more 'mild' blend at first and now Im HOOOOOOOOKKKKKED and have been for years! I cant believe how much energy I get from just one cup and how much housework I get done for that matter - lol!!

So next time you want to give one a go - order a latte - its a weaker more milky kind of coffee and will ease you into the flavour just perfectly and then add sugar or none according to taste

I cannot abide instant coffee though - ugh only the good stuff LOL

Enjoy:)

yuck cant stand taste or smell

[~angel~]

mmmmm, coffee!!:)
you could always try the decaf..
I find it tastes exactly the same!!
I usually drink it when Im on the computer at night lol....(keeps me awake), or, if Ive woken up a little tired still,, DH makes me a nice cup of strong coffee and Im o.k then!!
I have to say tho, I love the smell of perculated coffee..
Off to boil the kettle...:D

I used to drink MASSIVE amounts of coffee from when I was about 17 or so to 20... like , no kidding, I would start work at 7.30am and have had a least 3 cups before I got there!
I was so hooked that when I started working at a day care centre, I panicked as I knew there was no way possible I would get my regular coffee intake and started taking No Doze tabs (caffeine tablets)... I thought that I wouldn't get through the day other wise!
I used to get kind of 'jittery' and my mind was always racing a hundred miles and hour...!

When I found out I was pregnant, I gave up both coffee and ciggies... and feel so much better for it!
Now I drink one or two cups of tea a day... coffee just tastes too 'acidy' to me now... and I have no desire to start drinking it again!!

...so there's a brief outline of my coffee history! :D

I used to drink loads of coffee while I was working. I never used to like it, but "took it up" when I got promoted. (All the other bosses drank it, so I followed suit). I think back now and realise how stupid I was to drink it just because others were.
When I feel pregas, I gave it up. Now I'm back to not liking it. I'll have the occasional mug, but it tends to give me headaches.

IMO, stick to the coke.

I don't drink tea or coffee. The smell is enough to have me heaving :o

[razzle]

I adore coffee. I have 2 cappucino's every morning (we have a machine) and 1 or 2 more throughout the day. I never drink it after about 4pm because then I can't sleep! The first thing I do when I wake up is put the coffee machine on. The cappucino machine is the best investment I've ever made!

Favourite brand of coffee is Lavazza, we don't buy anything else, and for instant (if I have to) we only ever drink Moconna indulgence.

Nascafe tastes like PUS!!! :thumbsdown: BLEUCH!!!

[JenNT]

I buy Gloria Jeans Caramel Nut beans and brew them but only have one cup a week...yummo! When i go shopping (which is every 2 months) I sit down at Gloria Jeans and enjoy a caramel latte...pure bliss:D

I'm a tea girl...leaves in a pot:thumbsup:

[Maxs_MumMy]

Thanks everyone

I had my first coffee when I was 18, don't really know why it took me that long. But I wasn't a regular drinker of it till I had bub number 2. Now I can't start my day without one!

[SuperWoman]

I soooooooooooooooo love my coffee and I am totally addicted!!!:smiliedance: Cant function without it!! Love the taste, smell everything about it and I even have my fave coffee mug which for some reason makes my coffee taste even better than any other cup!! Jeez, when I read that back I realised I am addicted, LOL, time for coffee anonymous!!!:D

[Baby Girl]

How about a cup of tea??

I love my coffee. I didn't start drinking it until I was about 18 or 19 but once I found the right blend and the right balance of ingredients I was hooked. I try not to have more than 2 cups a day but lately I have been really good and have just been having one after dinner (rather than with breakky)!! I have been having a cup of tea in the mornings and I must say it is quiet a pleasant change.

I completely agree!!! :yelclap: I have a chino machine, and once you go the real stuff theres no going back, I buy the moconna coffee sticks for guests who don't want the real stuff (which I can never understand),

I'd reccomend having mocha's and working up from there, I can't even remember when I started drinking coffee but I know while I was pregnant it killed me not having any!! I didn't have any caffine for the first 3 months, from then on I would allow myself 2 coffee 2 and coke a week LOOOOOVE Coke, near the end I wasn't so strict and now (although I'm BF) I pretty much have what I want within reason!!:ecomcity:

YAY FOR COFFEE!!!! :smiliedance:

I have one or two cups of coffee a day andI do love it. I have countless cups of tea though!

I'm on the decaf these days.

I think I started drinking coffee in high school. I have recently discovered the joys of tea from a pot using leaves. I went and bought a tea pot and everything.
