    I'm more of a tea person. I hate coffee for its bitter taste.

    I consume tea like once a month. I don't take too much caffeine.

    Then you are not a tea person...

    British drink tea like a fish drinks water...

    Once a month...
    Do fish even drink water ?

    Yes. Yes. No. Yes. Yes.

    I got into coffee because of my grandma. Every time she would have a house guest, she would offer them tea, water or coffee. I got accustom to helping and eventually drank some coffee too. We always had tea time but she never made coffee unless there were guests. As I got older I tried it again but only because I like the taste. Not to help me stay up. I had found out that it actually puts me to sleep. So for a while I drank coffee to help me sleep. Then, it helped with BMs. So I drink for taste, to help sleep and for BMs.

    I started drinking coffee when I was 13. My brother's and I would go to this Cafe that had a bottomless cup of coffee for, I think 25 cents, and we would buy a cup and sit there for hours drinking coffee and playing games.

    Today I drink 2 cups in the morning for a pick me up, or maby that's just in my head.

    I think people don’t drink coffee because they haven’t had good coffee. Or, more accurately, because they have been given very bad coffee as their introduction to coffee. If you’re already into coffee, you’ll put up with bad coffee once in a while (because withdrawal), but if you have never tasted good coffee, you wouldn’t keep trying it, you already “know” it’s bad.

    I found this video a really interesting take on it https://youtu.be/Z-iNAyu-ejo

    I never got the taste for it. The stuff tastes awful to me. Some people drink it just to drink it. Some want a energy boost. Some use it for dessert. What's your reason?


    Very nice reasons everybody.
    Who in their right mind considers a liquid beverage to be a dessert?

    Tbh, I adore the taste of coffee. As in coffee without fillers. There was a point where I drank numerous cups a day, as in like 4 or 5. I've cut it down to one a day now. Still enjoy it just as much.

    It really depends on what you drink. There are drip coffee (I called it the tea of coffee coz its only coffee bean essence + hot water), latte (Coffee/tea with milk), frappuccino (starbucks), Nanyang coffee (Southeast Asia type of coffee where the beans are roasted with butter, sugar and etc.), espresso (a shot of concentrated coffee without any condiments) and Nitro coffee.

    Depending on what you ordered. Different coffee has different properties.

    I like coffee because my of my parents' love of the drink. When I was 10 or 11 my mom began to roast her own coffee using old electric popcorn poppers (without temperature cutoffs) and once we had burned through every old machine in the town that could got with love or money we experimented with an oven-top popcorn popper (not as constant as electric). Eventually my parents broke down and purchased a purpose built roaster that could do .5pound at a time.

    I think it's a ritual for some people. We can't quite control much in our lives, and when we're young our parents don't let us have coffee because they don't want us bouncing off the walls afterwards. So the desire begins there, because it becomes a forbidden treat that we look forward to getting older for. Then it becomes part of a tradition, getting your daily dose to start off your morning, or a fun treat for those extra early Monday mornings at work. And then when we're old, and our kids or grandkids put us in a nursing home because that's the standard of care we need, we have even less control over our lives than we did before. So demanding that coffee, even if it's decaf, is a way for us to retain control over that part of our lives that we were so used to. Everyone has a ritual or a routine of some sort, and for some people I think it just happens to be coffee.

    Honestly at this point it's just the caffeine additcion and routine that keeps me drinking it. Wake up, feed the dog n cats, make hubbies breakfast then make an have my coffee( the same cup i've been making since hs) A strong dark roast, 3 crushed mint leaves, 2 tbsp warm milk and one 1/2 tbsp honey( I call it the milky way). Has just enough sugar and caffeine to keep me from eating a lot of sweets through out the day and keeps me from drinking any pop.

    i gave up coffee (caffeine really) a few months ago and it's hard. i won't do decaf because dark roasts just aren't my jam... tried a bunch of teas and finally started trying something called dandy blend that does the trick.

    gimme something that tastes like hot bean water, even if it doesn't have the same magic.
