Too Much Coffee

@LadyDuck I can't get used to drinking long American style coffee no matter ho hard I try

Three cups for breakfast? What type of coffee and what type of cup?

@mysdianait No, not three cups for breakfast, one for breakfast, one at 9:30 and one at 11:00. In the morning I prepare the so called American coffee (with a filter), after lunch an espresso. All my family and friends tell me that I should lose my Italian nationality to drink American coffee, that they consider dirty water.

That sounds like me and coffee

@thesids Those ones, 'like pinch and fill a small cup' are the ones I LOVE! When I first came here I found them so bitter and difficult to even sip. Now I can't get enough and any excuse is a good one to have one The other ones you mention: I know Nescafe and drank it in UK before coming here but now, I don't like it. I bought some last winter but it went solid in the jar as I wasn't using it Hey thank you for responding to my appeal

@mysdianait The Pinch and Fill a small cup ones here add some extra water as the vendors do not remove the cup after the main coffee is poured in. If you are not watching or there is a rush, this extra water gets added, making it taste lighter. As for getting the beans and processing them, some people in southern India do that. But getting beans is not that easy here.

I love my coffee - cold, Iced should be a better word. In summers, I have more of it but during winters, I have at least one mug of that a day. For other times in winter, it is about 4-5 times of black coffee. There are only two brands that I know (and use) - Nescafe is one - I prefer its Select variant and the other is BRU. I think this second one is a country brand from down southern India. There are a few stalls on the roadside that do make coffee (not the expresso or the one that is like punch in and fill a small cup) and they taste good too.

I thought it kept us awake, not put us to sleep

Yes coffee is indeed goo to help people stay awake apparently

You don't like the taste?

@mysdianait Can't stand the taste. Love the aroma.

@just4him i knew someone like that. he likes the smell of coffee but doesn't drink it, he prefers lots of soda instead.

Inly one? I need two before I wake up!

@mysdianait It will be a problem since I have to go to work next day

@youless Oh yes that would be a problem indeed, Ever thought about giving up work as that seems to be the problem

Sleepless nights are not a problem now that we have myLot. You just come here and type (even in your jamas )

@much2say Oh that's smart! Going on two different days to get two free coffees Must see if they do that anywhere here too

How can you get through the week without coffee?

@mysdianait Well, we only brew it at home during weekends because then we actually have time in the morning to do so and enjoy together. During the week, I go to 2 gracery stores that have free coffee samples - so I go on separate days and that takes care of 2 other mornings - ha ha. The rest I just have green tea!

So you drink tea instead of coffee?

@CookieMonster46 Oh dear. It i sad that your tummy grumbles

@mysdianait actually no, I don't like too. I would rather grab a mocha, but after awhile this stuff just messages with my stomach

Espresso keeps me away from the doctor

I drank tea in UK but now I love espresso

@mysdianait I see.

Ditto!

Two pots? In one day? Heck that is a lot!

@HanVanMeegerin At least you learnt - even though it was the hard way

@mysdianait yes it was. Never made that mistake again.

It's the best addiction I know of!

@mysdianait In that case what about addiction to MyLot or even chocos and cakes

@mysdianait same here

I like mine with no sugar too

None?

Blaxk or white?

I need it to get moving in the morning too

Oh you must eat too. Only coffee is no good
