    I love coffee, more for the flavor though, than the kick. I love going to the store and buying all different types of coffee and creamer and mixing them in weird ways :p

    Morning routine.
    I have one nice strong cup of joe each and every morning once i've opened shop. One cup. No more, no less & always before 8am.

    tjsroaster.com has my hookup. They import their beans and roast them so you can get them fresh; big difference if you compare it to store bought, seriously makes me want to puke when I smell store bought. Plus I can email them and pick it up since they're on my way to work.

    I tried roasting my own a few years back with The Poppery II, hot air popcorn popper. Never did get it the way I like it but it was cool to roast my own.

    I prefer espresso, which is just compacted coffee grounds and a shorter brew. also typically it has less caffeine than a cup of coffee.

    I work for Nespresso that sells machines with their single serve capsules and it is the best stuff out there for this kind of thing.

    I love and hate Caffeine. Today she make me her bitch. I was under the weather to begin with, and realized I was out of caf bearing fluids in the house, and not in any state to leave. I had to down a couple of excedrin to get what I needed to get rid of the withdrawl symptoms.

    I only drink it IF I need to wake up in the morning, which really isn't that many days out of the week. I had a cup this morning but really didn't drink it all cause I was more consumed about TV then anything.

    Thanks for the link. I think it's time for me to evolve with it.

    Im pretty picky when it comes to coffee, has to be bean fresh.Never burned, that's the worst. After about 15 minutes that fresh tasting brisk is gone. Ive never tried ordering them online. Yet.

    I didn't touch the stuff until I started working 12 hour days and had to get up for work at 4 am. If it weren't for that, I'd have never started drinking the stuff.
