I am a coffee drinker. I can't seem to get going whenever I don't drink coffee in the morning. I am aware that a cup or two helps our body since they say that coffee is an anti-oxidant. Over dosing would mean bad to our health already.
If others binge on fatty foods and junk foods when stressed, I binge on coffee. The only time that I eliminated coffee from my system, temporarily, was when I was pregnant. Boy, did I miss my coffee then.
After, giving birth, I am back to my old self---a coffee addict. Do you like coffee as much as I like it? If so how do you like it? Capuccino, latte, espresso?I just like it brewed with cream and sugar.

I'm a coffee drinker myself, but I rink maybe 2-3 cups a week. Most of the time I'll be happy with water.
My favourite kind would be expresso. Great Discussion!

I like Expresso too, basic standard espresso with a shot of whipped cream on top. There are many different types of coffee drinks available. Although I am not a coffee addict but I like coffee a lot. Espresso is black strong coffee. It is prepared by pushing with pressure hot water through fine ground coffee. It is thicker than regular drip coffee and served in small cups. The cups are about the size of a shot glass.
My favorite coffee is Cafe Mocha which is made by combining in a coffee mug - 1 cup milk, 1 tablespoon cocoa powder and 1 teaspoon instant coffee. Heat this mixture in the microwave until hot, usually about 1 1/2 minutes.
Thanks.

@Maxim: Your consumption for a week is my consumption for one day. It to choose among the flavoured ones, I like capuccino. But basically, I just like my coffee plain and simple, as I mentioned, brewed with cream and sugar.

@airakumar: I've drank espresso once. Though I liked it, its too strong for me.

when I was young I did not like cofee at all. It was only after I got married and moved to Italy that I started to drink coffee. I started drinking it because I normally have very low blood pressure and would get very drowsy in the afternoon after lunch. I found that a shot of coffee in the mornings and one after lunch helped me to get through my day. I like cofee with milk, and I most particularly love cappuccino. I drink Italian coffee, and when I go back to America to visit my mother, I take my little Italian coffee pot with me.

I can't speak for all the different kinds of coffee in the world, I'm hardly an expert, but it is stronger than American coffee. Italians usually drink it in very small cups. I don't like expresso, I like to mix my coffee milk, that's why I love cappuccino.

It seems I fancy Capuccino very much.I appreciate its redolent good smell and awesome taste! Coffee with certain quantity of milk and sugar is absolutely my taste. But definitely I am obsessed with coffee not so much as you do.I am afraid too much coffee drinking will influence your sleeping quality more or less.But it is a quite tough task to change it once have formed a constant habit.

I like capuccino if I want something sweet, otherwise, I stay with my freshly brewed coffee.

I am a very most coffee drinker. I am very much love the coffee. Oh that smell. I though the sooner I began drinking the stuff, I would be all grown up. What did I know? I was a Kid. Dad would be enjoing his cup, and Mom hers. I had try it. They got me a cup, filled it with more sugar and milk than. As i got older would visit Mom, Shortly after Dad went to work. Dad's coffee, wasn't quite like mine. To be honest, it was the strongest cup o joe, in the whole world. Probably why I like the columbian brands, and so on. I do recall whe the "Mr. Coffee," makers came out. I was bound and determined he would have one.

Hey aileen2008!
I can't live without coffee!i am drinking a cup every morning and another one later the same day since the first time i tried it.
I rarely combine it with junk food and try to restrain myself but that doesn't work all the time.From time to time i would drink a few cups to keep me awake during a sleepless night.
I usually drink black coffee with a lot of sugar and no cream,but sometimes if i want something weaker i would make myself a cappuccino.
Thanks for the interesting fact and nice discussion.
Happy mylotting

I love coffee to. I just cannot do it without the big morning coffee. When I was pregnant I too did not drink it, it smelt bad to me. So I believe that the body tells us if the food or drink is good for us. Untill we do not exaggerate.
I drink coffee black without sugar; or capuccino, or with chocolade and cinnamon, or with milk. For every feeling a special cup of coffee.

I have not tried it with cinnamon. I have tried mixing coffee with cocoa, but have not tried sprinkling cinnamon on it. Gotta drop by the grocery an by cinnamon powder.

You are really a great fan of coffee. I am not so addicted to it. I only drink coffee once a while to keep me awake when I feel sleepy.
I like Mocha most compared with the rest. I like it because its taste great with its fragrant aroma.
Happy posting and have a nice day!

Hi aileen2008, early we were advised not to take any coffee for it might damage our health, whereas thing has changed totally after some time. And the new studies saying that taking appropriate amount of coffee daily is good for the health of our heart. Anyway I never bother about whether taking coffee is good or harmful to our health. I just couldn't abandon my beloved beverage and would take it often
I'm not a heavy coffee addict. I just enjoy taking my hot cup of coffee daily. I usually would take one or two cups of this drink after taking breakfast or after getting up from afternoon nap. I would be more energetic after taking a full cup of aromatic coffee. I like all types of coffee it doesn't matter whether it's latte, capuccino, espresso or black coffee. Of course the one with creamer and a little bit of sugar stirred with is the best
Happy posting

Hi, aileen
I love coffee too. I love it freshly brewed, americano, cappucino...anything where the taste of coffee is strong. I used to drink at least three cups a day. Right now, however, I am pregnant, so I stay away from coffee for the time being. It was really difficult adjusting. On my first few weeks of not drinking coffee, I got headaches and I was really lazy, my body feeling heavy. But now, I have adjusted. I still miss coffee but I have successfully avoided it so far. I still go to coffeeshops sometimes and breathe in the wonderful aroma but I just order non-coffee drinks.
After giving birth, I would probably be back to drinking coffee. But for now, I am happy I am able to control myself and not drink while pregnant.
Cheers!

I was in the same boat as you are right now. The first week I learned that I am pregnant, I stopped my cups of coffee. What I do is I put just a little bit (just a sprinkle) of coffee powder on my milk. That way I can still smell coffee even just a tiny bit. Then after a few weeks, I totally eliminated coffee.
Yeah it was difficult adjusting. And I thought I could live without coffee anymore when I got pregnant. But after giving birth, and I tasted coffee once more, I got addicted again.

I never knew i was a coffee addict, after reading your thread, now i know i am a true fan of coffee, when at home i usually prefer 1 liter of cold coffee w/c i keep inside the fridge, my cup is half a liter content so i can have two drinks twice before i finish my preferred cold coffee. but for the second drink i will get ready and prefer for the next pitcher that i will keep again at the fridge. i have lots of different coffee stored in our house coz my wife is a coffee enthusiast, but she does not like too drink coffee very much almost 1 cup every morning and 1 cup at night but she does not drink it always so i keep it in the freezer make ice out of it to add to my ice coffee. My favorite coffee would be the cappuccino with almond flavor creamer, i do put sugar but just two sachet of safe sugar for me. thanks for your discussion, it enlightens me a lot, i did not know it was bad for our health, i should be cutting down on my consumption. Thanks Aileen.

Hi aileen.....
I do drink coffee, but am not an addict..sometimes hot tea too...
I think coffee can increase your appetite for fatty foods..even though its a stimulant...it increase our stress hormone levels....
so prefer tea to coffee...
thanks for sharing.....
have a great day or night.........

I actually don't like coffee at all. What's so weird to me is that I really love the smell of coffee but I could never get past that taste. I do, however, like some of the coffee drinks at Starbucks, like the frappuccino's (I think that's how they're spelled haha)I also don't really like warm beverages so that might be why I don't like coffee that much and when I do drink something with coffee/caffeine in it it's pretty much always a cold beverage.

Coffee has herbs, and lie where it was harmful. There are people who in large amounts do not act well, but these other things they act badly. I have no coffee in the morning I can not imagine denya.I not think I'm addicted. and I love it refreshes me. Compiled think and plan my day while I drink it.
