Most of family members, relatives, colleagues and friends like to drink black coffee. They claimed that they cannot survive without drinking coffee. Once,I met a girl who loves black coffee so much that she even chewed coffee beans in front of me.I was so stunned and could not believe my eyes as I stood saw watching her.
Both of my parents, all my brothers and sister are known "coffee kings" as they have coffee so often everyday. Their coffee is concentrated and the aroma of their coffee could be sensed at a far distance.They said Star Buck Coffee are meant for people like them. I am the only survival of these coffee addicts and I feel like a well won warrior when cofee is concerned.
Coffee can be so important to so many people. Do you like to drink black coffee too?

I like to drink coffee too. However, fortunately, I am not addicted to it. Although I like coffee, but I suffer its side effect as well. I will have difficulty to sleep at night if I took the coffee in the afternoon or in the evening. But it would be great to take a cup in the morning, it will energize me for the whole day and keep me fresh. I prefer the coffee from Coffee Bean, if compared to the Starbucks coffee. I like Mocha most.

Hi cheongyc, I do have side effect if taking too much coffee. Though I really love the unique aroma of coffee I still not brave to take whole cup of it. I would lose my appetite to take food, even the dialy three meals if I finish the whole cup of coffee served in any coffee outlet. The coffee brewed is to thick and makes my stomach upset. I usually would take a few sips from my husband's cup just to fulfill coffee desire
My husband and I mostly visit to Starbucks Coffee, for Coffee Bean is not a vailable here. The white coffee served in the Old Town Coffee is very aromatic and tasty as well. It's the famous local coffee product
Have a nice day

Hi lkbooi, it's nice to see you here. Ya, seems like we suffer from the caffeine symptom if we take too much of coffee. I think that the environment around the Starbucks coffee outlet is very nice and comfortable. It's very enjoyable to take sip of coffee there while surfing the net. I like the old town coffee shop as well. Their white coffee is thick, aromatic and tempting.
Happy posting and have a nice day!

The sensational aroma of coffee can be very irresistable and is somteimes difficult to resist not drinking it. May it be cappucino, expresso, mocha, coffee can really cause a lot of people being dependent to it emotionally and physically.
It is actually nice to start the day with a cup of aromatic coffee like you did to keep you energised and fresh the whole day, Cheongyc. I am surprised that inspite of it, you are not addicted to it. That is good, really.
I do agree with you that the environment of some coffee outlets like Starbuck Coffee, Old Town, Coffee Bean are very comfortable and relaxing even here in the Middle East. The people here simply loves coffee too and there are lots of other coffee outlets here. There are at least two coffee cafes even in the hospital for staffs, visitors and patients to enjoy themselves.
Do you believe that coffee contains anti-oxidants and would you have consume more coffee and visiting those coffee outlets more frequently then?
Have a nice and pleasant day.

Hi ketping8899, I love to take coffee often. I couldn't refrain myself fromm taking it whenever my husband or his sister brewing such aromatic beverage. My husband's sister is a huge fanf of black coffee. She has to take coffee a few times daily to energize her. She complains that she feel like lacking of vigour to do her usual household chores if there isn't any coffee goes to her stomach regularly.
My husband does not have such strong addiction as his sis. He would feel content if taking black coffe twice a time daily. I'm not a genuine coffee addict and I just love the unique aroma of it. I sometimes stirr my hot cup of milo with half a teaspoon of coffee powder to it to make it more aromatic.
while waiting for my husband to deal with the hotel check in, I'm now typing this post in Starbucks Coffee outlet. I enjoy the sweet aroma of coffee when it's brewed. The mug beside me is a mug of hot green tea instead of signiture drink of Starbucks Coffee
Happy posting

Hi Ikbooi. the nice aroma of coffee can be simply irresistable. It is understandable why so you, your husband, sister and many other people love coffee. The caffeine in coffee can cause people to crave for more and more coffee. In fact, coffee has the power to make people so dependent on it that they could not function without it in their body system. At least, your sister needs it just to add vigour to perform her usual households.
Coffee is addictive. It is good that your husband is contented with two cups of black coffee daily as it is highly recommended to keep coffee consumption to two cups or less per day. I have tried adding some coffee powder to my cup of hot milo too and it does taste yummy.
I can picture you and your husband enjoying nice aromatic coffee in a Starbuck Coffee outlet and relaxing yourselves. I know you are very healthy conscious and is a smart woman who would always choose healthier options rather than the signature drink of all Starbuck Coffee outlets which is coffee.
Have a wonderful time and it is great discussing with you.

Thanks Kevingee for your response. According to recent researches, brewed coffee does contains antioxidant. However, not all coffee beans are of the same quality and the actual amount of coffee needed to be consumed in order to receive the antioxidants is unknown.
Actually, it is better to consume 5 to 9 daily servings of a wide variety of colourful fruits and vegetables to provide the antioxidants which are required to protect our body against diseases. It is advisable to keep your consumption of coffee to two cups or less daily.
Coffee is not only addictive but is also a potent diuretic known to cause significant loss of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants particularly vitamin C through frequent urination after drinking black coffee.
Thanks again and have a nice day.
