Default Ultimate :Coffee: Thread

So I am definitely addicted to coffee. If I don't have a cup by lunch time I get a headache.

Luckily my work has some really good locally brewed coffee for the customers that I get to partake in. Most of the time I'm drinking alot of the Sumatra or French Roast. If I'm at Starbucks I get whatever bold they have brewing, occassionaly I'll get a bold Redeye or an iced coffee.

during a normal work week I drink at least 5 to 7 cups a day. It's a little less on the weekends, normally.

What do you all drink? and how much?

I love coffee! But I only drink one cup a day, usually mocha, cappucino, or a milk coffee.

I worked at starbucks for two years, so I'm fully addicted. My drink of choice used to be a Zebra Mocha, but since switched to strictly coffee and espresso on ice drinks to try and cut down on the calories.

With that said, any medium will do for me. I like the extra caffeine content it offers. GF and I split 1/4 pot (1 cup each) every morning. When I go to Starbucks I get espresso over ice with sweetener and half&half.

Can anyone recommend an uncommon coffee that's rich in taste and sweetness? Price cap is $30/lb. Thanks!

I mostly drink Colombian,either Green Mountain brand or 8 o'clock.I try and keep a bag of "Koa Coffee" private reserve beans,usually for when companies over or I cook a nice breakfast on the weekends...oh and after using a French Press for over 2 years, I can never go back to drip or percolated coffee.

Also I throw in about a cup of the cheap freeze dried stuff into my pre-workout protein shake.

It got too expensive buying from places like Starbucks and the consistency in taste from day to day bothered me,I need my coffee to have the same taste.
