    Default Coffee?

    Are you a coffee drinker? How do you like your coffee?

    I do drink coffee, my hubby hates the stuff. I like mine 'white', I add lots of creamer (French vanilla, the liquid stuff). I also really like Starbucks, I order either a Mocha Frapuccino with Whip or Hot Carmel Macchiato +3 raw sugars. I know all you Northerners like Dunkin Donuts coffee... I don't care for theirs, too strong.

    OK, so I know you coffee drinkers are going to kill me for this one...but I hate coffee! I just can't do the taste. I guess the good thing about it is I'm not spending 5 bucks at pop for a Starbucks coffee.

    When I got serious about weight lifting in college, I gave up caffeine and it stuck. I am probably the only person my colleagues know that doesn't drink coffee by the gallon full, or that doesn't have any caffeine for that matter.

    I'm a weird dude, I tell ya. I'll just rock on with my bad self...

    I like mine white too...lots of cream and sugar My home brewed version is flavoured with hazelnut cream, sprinkled with Cinnamon...it's more a dessert than a beverage

    . Dear Heart only does decaf, as he vibrates too much with any caffeine, including in Coke, etc. Nothing worse than a man on caffeine withdrawal

    I could never break down and pay that much for a Starbucks, and the luxury here is a Timmie's, or Tim Horton's coffee. That's pretty much a staple for most Canadians!

    The only thing that tops that is any coffee with Bailey's
    Severe compression of spinal cord, flaval ligament, etc. at C4/5 & 5/6.
    Herniation and compression, at L3/4 to L5/S1 plus spondylosis at the latter level. Severe allergy to most metals.
    Three level surgery in Brazil with Dr. Luiz Pimenta on March 17/2010 using non-metal appliances. L5/S1-PEEK cage, ALIF; L4/5-PEEK cage, XLIF; C5/6-NuVasive NeoDisc. Three separate approaches, two minimally invasive. Currently minor residual back pain, from SI ligament and still overdoing things . Therapy and chiropractic treatments helping immensely. Gone from being almost bedridden to near normal activities including gardening. Life is gooooood!

    Now you're speaking my language...Bailey's is good stuff!

    So question for everyone: when does coffee stop being coffee? Meaning when you put all the creamer, sugar, flavors, etc. ... it's not coffee. I love giving my wife a hard time about this!

    I'm a die hard coffee drinker too. No sugar. A little bit of 1/2 n 1/2. No special flavors, yuck. I want it to taste like coffee. I won't spend that $$ at Starbucks either. That's crazy. I used to drink a ton of coffee when I was younger, but now I try to stick to 1 cup in the morning. 2 rarely.
