Coffee and mornings

I absolutely love coffee. I wasn't always a coffee person, but it definitely grew on me! I normally only have one cup of coffee a day, if at all. I just have it when I feel like it or when I'm cold and need something to warm me up. I could probably drink three cups in a day, but not everyday, and I'd probably have to spread them out, as in maybe one every couple hours. Of course, I didn't think of decaf. If I had three cups of caffeinated coffee, I'd probably be bouncing off the walls! The other thing I've noticed when I drink caffeinated coffee is it speeds up my metabolism so I get hungry a lot quicker. That's not a good thing because my metabolism is already out of control as it is! (LOL) In my opinion, one of the best things about coffee is the creamer. I've tried Chocolate Mocha, French Vanilla, and Pumpkin creamer. (Oh, and of course, plain - ha!) Yummy! I normally put a couple sugars in my coffee and not as many if there's a flavored creamer, but sometimes I don't put sugar in at all. I'm flexible when it comes to my coffee. I can drink it black or not. My favorite forms of coffee, though, are cappuccinos, fraps, and MOST is espressos! My husband and I got ourselves an espresso maker for Christmas last year, and it is amazing! (It also makes cappuccino too.) We have an instant coffee maker as well, of course. It's the pot less kind where you put your mug up to it, and you can dispense however much coffee you want right into the cup. We are spoiled! My favorite mornings are those when the coffee maker has been set up on the timer the night before to start the coffee going first thing in the morning when I get up so I can hear it and smell it. Don't you love that? I think because of this discussion I'm going to have to get myself a cup of it tonight! Excellent discussion, friend!

Coffee to me is like gasoline to a car. I used to drink a lot of coffee but I'm in detox process because I'm trying to live a healthier lifestyle given that I have a medical condition that I should be looking after. So, since the beginning of Feb 2010, I started to go dry --- off the coffee and caffeine for that matter. Today is the 25th and I'm still alive and kicking so let's see if I can make it til the end of the month without having the urge to grab my caffeine fix.

Me too, lipstick2009. Every morning I start my day with a cup of hot coffee. It provides me with an energy boost, preparing me for the challenges that lie ahead. Everyday, I have at least 3 cups of coffee. According to the latest medical research, it was found that coffee contains high levels of antioxidants, which means the more coffee we drink, the merrier. However, like any other things, we should take coffee in moderation. Too much of anything is not good for us.

Oh wow, you drink soo much coffee hehe, well not in a bad way but you are like my fiance, well he drinks way more than you do though. He drinks coffee all the time that he doesn't even drink water anymore, he just says that coffee has water in it so why drink water when he has coffee? lol I mean he's been like that for decades as well. I don't understand why he can do that, I mean he drinks like 3 cups in the morning, another 3 during noon time and maybe 3 in the afternoon till evening. Don't worry about the caffeine thing that makes you stay up all night, he's very immune to it, doesn't work with him anymore, lol.

I am a coffee lover and just like you I start my day with a cup of coffee. Coffee and smoking. That is how I start my mornings. Coffee while smoking while sharing my opinions and thoughts here in my lot. Whenever I am really in the mood to share my response in the discussions here n my lot, I end up having more than 5 cups of coffee because coffee perks up my senses.

what a wonderfull life you've got^^ me too, i always start my day with coffee.. but only one cup. i salute you can drink up to 3 cups. :)

I really like the way you began your discussion. It is a great image of myself in the morning drinking my cup of coffee especially the way you described mornings and nature. I love sitting on the porch in the fresh morning air drinking my cup of coffee that is in the spring and summer months. I also like those rainy mornings too, it relaxes me. Now this morning it is cloudy, cold, and we are having snow showers and this is a great morning to relax and enjoy my first cup of coffee. I like those quiet moments with a cup of coffee. I love to smell the coffee brewing in the morning too. Isn't God good. I give Him all the glory first thing in the morning too.

3 cups of coffee a day? great .. you've beat me .. until now I did not dare to drink more than 1 cup per day

Coffee makes my morning and breakfast complete and it goes down the whole day completed and feel well.

Oh~I love the way you start the morning!I remembered that I have coffee every day in the last year of my high school as a refreshant with out any suger.

that's indeed a great way to start the day! just like you, i think without coffee would not make my day. that may sound exagg, but i think it's true, as far as im concern. everytime i wake up, i always sip a cup of it, have my bread and spread and watch the early morning show. i cant see the sunshine through my though, since its not visible! lolz. also, i must admit, that i think im a coffee addict. that i realized when i was really craving for it. badly! but of course, i need to watch it. moderation is the name.
