Are you an all day drinker or a one cup in the morning person? Do you drink it hot, on ice? What is your coffee habit?
For me it's iced coffee. I buy the Dunkin' Donuts coffee beans at the grocery store (as there is no DD in my area) and brew a mini pot fresh. I add french vanilla coffee mate and a little bit of milk and a tiny bit of sugar and a whole bunch of ice and have my own iced coffee latte. It's soooooo refreshing and yummy and one big cup gets me through the day!

hello gmakesmoney i love coffee but that doesn't mean i am crazy of it or addicted that without it i can't make it out.i am not a morning drinker.i just take one cup a day that too in the evening.mostly its hot with milk,cream and sugar.sometimes i go for chilled coffee.but that is when i think i should give myself a treat.mostly in summers.
i drink coffee because i feel i get refreshed by that.so i usually go for it.but if due to some reasons i don't drink then also no problems with me.i am lucky that i don't get migraines if i skip out my cup of coffee.

Chilled coffee is my favorite, I try and have it every other day or few days instead of everyday so as not to trigger mirgaines when I don't have it. It is quite refreshing to enjoy a nice cup of coffee.

I am one of the few American's that do not drink coffee that much. It has been months since I had any coffee. I drink water most of the time. I usually do not even drink soda or ice tea. Its water all the way for me.

That's pretty healthy of you! I couldn't drink water all the time, I like it only at night which I know is so bad and I need to drink more of it.

I like the iced coffe as well . I don't drink hot coffee but love the ice caps from Tim Horton's . I was so bad when I was pregnant that I was buying extra and taking them home to freeze them for when I had a craving . Thank goodness I got over that as it was getting expensive lol . I don't buy it very often anymore as it is amost half an hour from our house to the nearnest Tim Horton's . I did buy the french vanilla coffee mate but don't find it taste as good but never tried putting sugar in it . Will have to try that to see if I like it better with sugar in it !!

I haven't had Tim Horton's but sounds yumm. I love it with the extra sugar, when making iced coffee it makes all the difference.

I can understand that, if I have to wake up early I'm doing good if I can make it to the kitchen, lol. I could never have it with no sugar though, I make my coffee super strong so that would not be yummy.

Well, when I was younger, I used to have so many cups a day! But now I try to cut down my coffee intake. I am more like one cup in the morning and maybe when it's around 3-4pm, I will have another cup of coffee. Usually the one in the morning is hot and the one in the afternoon is cold. And two cups would get me going fine for the whole day.

It doesn't keep me awake but I used to drink those canned double espresso shots from Starbucks when I used to work the late shift in a hospital, if I would do a double shift which was about 18-20 hours then I'd drink two of those and be good to go. The only downside being it would keep me up for 2 days, lol.

Thanks! Yes it is the best, my total addiction! I pretty much jumped up and down when I saw the beans at the store since the closest DD to where I'm living now is one state over.

Hot coffee is great as well, I also enjoy a cup when visiting someone.

I buy half caffeinated coffee, and have two cups hot in the morning before work. I really need one more shot of caffeine around four p.m., and it can be coffee, tea, pop, whatever. I need the caffeine. If not I get a headache the next morning. I found that I gained weight on iced coffee, as I liked it so well when we were on vacation, and we were in an area that had Dunkin Donuts on most every street, it seemed. Enjoy your cup today.

Thanks! I miss Dunkin Donuts, that's why I got hooked again when the coffee beens came out where I'm at now. I suffer from migraines and caffeine can really mess me up, lol. If I get used to drinking it daily and then miss a day, even by a few hours, I'll get a 3 day or so migraine. So what I do, which I had forgotten and was reminded by a migraine this weekend, is try and just have it every other day that way if I miss a day I don't have to worry about feeling ill. Ice coffee makes you gain weight because you need like 3 times the sugar in it to have it still taste good while cold and when it's iced you're also drinking bigger portions.

I’m a coffee lover of course. To take coffee during breakfast is my habit. I like to have hot coffee with sweetened creamer and coffee mate added and well stirred. Even though I like hot coffee very much I still take iced coffee occasionally as it gives different aroma and taste of coffee. Normally I take one or two cups of hot coffee daily. After having a cup of hot coffee in the morning really could make me refreshing and energetic to begin a new day.

I am SOOOO addicted to coffee! About 2-3 cups a day would definitely perk me up. Of course, I love it piping hot, really, super hot 'cause when it gets a li'l bit colder, it will never be the same to me.hehe I do like french vanilla too, although a regular creamer will do. Iced coffee is a sure fun treat but hot and steamy is my cup of coffee. =) And yeah, life will never be same without coffee! lolz

Hi. gmakesmomeny. I always love coffee when it is icy cold. That is about the best time that I really do enjoy it. I bought some Starbuck's iced mocha at Walmart. They were in the hard, glassed bottles. They were very delicious when they were icy cold.
This is when I need a quick pick me up in the day time. I love hot coffee too during the mornings when it is very cold.

i am coffeeholic. before, i drink pure coffee without any milk added then i mixed it with ice at dinner but now i have changed my style, i am still coffeeholic but i now prefer for a 3 in 1 coffee and sometimes i mix it with milk in a hot water at breakfast. and sometimes i drink 3 - 4 coffees a day and they say that when you drink coffee it can make you not feel sleepy but for me it is different instead of making sleepy it makes me feel sleepy. i really love coffee and i would never replace to chocolate.
