I just love coffee!

Here's something I've noticed about chain store coffee versus home ground and percolated coffee: The chain store (Tim Hortons, in particular) has coffee that makes me feel jumpy, unfocussed, and even paranoid. I literally get high! (What I know of getting high from the usual literatue :D). BUT, when I make coffee at home with beans from the store - any unflavored generic kind of beans - I have no reaction like that. It'll take two to four cups to make me feel "like my brain is shivering". Even when I add too much sugar. I'll talk faster, be more hyper, but the effect doesn't give me a hangover like the chain's drink. I'm a little scared about what they put in their blend to make everyone think they have the best drinks in Canada... because quality-wise, it is pure doo.

I am a coffee-lover too and it doesn't make me jittery or nervous. There are times when if I've had too much I would have difficulty breathing and then I'd stop for a few days then I'll come back to coffee again. I can't permanently stop myself from drinking coffee.

I really enjoy coffee. My husband and I feel similar too you. We enjoy going to coffee shops we don't get to do that often though. It really does add up. I know at our local coffee shop for a grande (20 oz) it cost $4.65. So if we did that every week it would add up pretty quickly. I guess we could do it every now and then for date night but we often end up just going out for dinner instead since we get more that way. Welcome to mylot. I hope that you enjoy your time hear. It such a great place. I'm happy that I was able to find it.

DRinking coffee for sometime is not bad, but don't drink it more often coz it is bad for your health. I sometimes feel nervous when i drink coffee,i think it is just one of the disadvantages it has. So better not to drink it if you feel like something is wrong.

I do as well.. Its my only real bad habit. I drink 5 or 6 cups a day. Of course its easy as I own a coffee house and cafe here.

You shouldn't drink coffee if it makes you jittery. It's not safe. I would refrain from that.

I'm not really a big coffee fan. I only drink one cup (even half of it only) in the morning. I know some people are addicted to it but I'm not. Whenever I see coffee shops my mouth does not water and I do not feel the urge to get inside. Coffee is just not my cup of tea.LOL

Oh coffee, i don't drink coffee :) I used to drink coffee when i was a kid but i stopped when i started highschool. I don't know why, but i just don't like drinking it anymore. hehe.. Regarding being nervous after drinking coffee, i think it's the effect of the caffeine (but not really sure about that). I also had that experience when i was still drinking coffee. Also, surely you'll have a hard time sleeping when you drink coffee and that's for sure :)

Drinking to much coffee, or anything with substantial amounts of caffeine, will make you jittery. If you drink coffee way too much your heart may go into arrhythmia. Of course, this happens if one drinks colossal amounts in a very short period of time.

Thanks for sharing this discussion. In my case i crave for coffee in the afternoon. I just don't know why but i like it cold than warm. But the only thing about coffee that i hate is the after effect. Can't sleep, busy stomach, palpitations.
