Title: Addicted to Coffee
Post by: Mizzkizz7 on January 16, 2020, 02:49:15 pm
I drink coffee and ever since I drink it at least 4 times a week. I get the energy I need and that instant alertness. Anybody else drink? I also like to add Reese's Peanut butter creamer.

I slowly worked my way into today's demise of five espresso shots on days that I work at my day job. I started off, about ten years ago, with coffee that had Bailey's Irish Cream. Than I added frangelico. Than I found ways to add different syrups to my coffee so that it would taste more like a Snickers or Milky Way candy bar. That started getting expensive so I switched over to a Caramel Macciato at Starbucks which was eventually changed to a plain Latte. About six months after that I switched to plain old black coffee. Some fellow workers told me about a coffee bean called Deathwish and my life has never been the same. I believe it is two hundred times the normal caffeine and, when taken at five in the morning, keeps me up until midnight, Monday through Friday!

I wouldn't necessarily say I'm addicted to coffee, because I can usually take it or leave it on any given morning. But I do quite enjoy a cup on a cold morning! I've never heard of the Reese's creamer. Sounds yummy! I usually use Davinci's sugar-free amaretto syrup in mine, since I'm a diabetic.  :peace: :heart:

I am a huge coffee drinker and so are my sisters.  My mom and her sisters were also coffee drinkers. Any time there was a family event there was always a large pot of coffee flowing

I drink a cup or two every day. At the office, I drink it black with a packet of Stevia. My husband doesn't drink it black, so at home, we use Silk Caramel Almond creamer in our coffee. Yum! I actually prefer salted caramel but haven't been able to find a dairy free version.

Love coffee especially Duncan donuts. Drink about 4 cups a day. It's suppose to be good for you so drink on.

I do love a morning cup.  I feel better when I don't drink caffeine of any kind.  Found that out doing a pharmaceutical study.  Get past that caffeine headache-feel a lot better.  But I like coffee and soda.

Yes. I am addicted to coffee!  I have to have a cup first thing when I wake-up to wake-up -- if I don't, it throws off the entire day -- like when I have to fast for a blood test.  I tried to go down to one cup a day, but that didn't last. I try to keep it to a max of 2.   I enjoy strong coffee black -- I enjoy the Cold Brew from Starbucks on occasion.   I use a caffeine coffee shot called STOX when I need an added jolt to start my day.

Cheers to us coffee drinkers :)

I'm about the same level of intake as you but I would not call it addicted to it I just need it to wake up.

I am too addicted to coffee. I drink at least 4 to 5 cups a day.  Trying to change and drink only 2 cups and drink more water.

I start every day with 20 oz of coffee, 4 sweetener pkts, and a shot glass of Snickers creamer.

I myself rarely drink any coffee or caffeine for that matter. On the other hand, my husband and daughter absolutely love coffee. We make it a variety of ways at home to save. We use a french press, we also us the cold brew Toddy system and recently bought a knock keurig maker on amazon to try using the ton of free coffee pods we were able to get with a deal. Win Win!

I like it in the winter when its chilly out. I usually use french vanilla coffee and put sugar free french vanilla coffee mate and french vanilla sugar free syrup. It doesnt really taste much like coffee, but I dont really like coffee. But my version is really good.

I'm not a fan of coffee because it's too bitter for my taste. I have started drinking the Starbucks instant White Chocolate Mocha lattes with milk since they taste pretty sweet, but I know the combination of sugar and caffeine can't be good for me.  :confused1:

   I think it is better to drink hot chocolate than coffee.
   Even better drink some hot tea.

I am a fan of it but would never be addicted.  It is a good boost sometimes though.

I love to have two cups of coffee every morning.  Coffee is part of my morning wake-up routine.  If I don't have the opportunity to have it, my morning just doesn't seem to go quite right.  Sometimes I have a third cup in the early afternoon, but often by the time I am about half through this cup I realize I don't want anymore. So am I addicted?  Yes, in the morning.  Do I need to have it all day?  No way!

I am a die-hard coffee fan. It has the opposite effect on me than it does on most. If I don't drink coffee during the day, I find it very difficult to fall asleep at night. It has a very soothing and calming effect on me. I like tea too but it doesn't have the same soothing abilities.

I have been addicted to Coffee since I was a child. I only buy Starbucks Pike Place Brand. It is my favorite. I subscribe to the Ground Pike Place and the Pods through Amazon. If I didn't Subscibe for Mail Order, then I would be in the store all of the time buying my Coffee. I find it easier to have it mailed to me.

Coffee from Dutch Bros is great. I remember a friend giving me a cup of coffee from Dutch Bros and it gave me some extra energy for the whole day

I wouldn't say I am addicted to coffee.  I drink it because I like the creamer added to it.

When I go KETO, I'll have to switch to MCT oil or heavy cream.

I drink coffee and ever since I drink it at least 4 times a week. I get the energy I need and that instant alertness. Anybody else drink? I also like to add Reese's Peanut butter creamer.

Every day drinker here.

I slowly worked my way into today's demise of five espresso shots on days that I work at my day job. I started off, about ten years ago, with coffee that had Bailey's Irish Cream. Than I added frangelico. Than I found ways to add different syrups to my coffee so that it would taste more like a Snickers or Milky Way candy bar. That started getting expensive so I switched over to a Caramel Macciato at Starbucks which was eventually changed to a plain Latte. About six months after that I switched to plain old black coffee. Some fellow workers told me about a coffee bean called Deathwish and my life has never been the same. I believe it is two hundred times the normal caffeine and, when taken at five in the morning, keeps me up until midnight, Monday through Friday!

This is funny and I am reading it in the evening which makes me want to drink a coffee right now and if I do I will be up all night.

Sounds delicious! I'm not a regular cofee drinker but I may have to try that creamer.

I only like it with lots of cream and sugar, which isn't healthy.

I don't drink coffee,  never liked the taste.

For a few years I fancied cappuccinos and now I have frappes sometimes in the summer but that's it.

I drink one cup in the morning every single morning with hazelnut creamer.  Never heard of the peanut butter creamer you use but I have to find some I absolutely LOVE peanut butter.
