    I get headaches too if I don't drink coffee. I'm pretty sure it's a symptom of caffeine withdrawal.

    My ideal caffeine fix is a large hazelnut Turbo Ice from Dunkin Donuts with regular milk and sugar. (For the unfamiliar...Turbo Ice = regular iced coffee with a shot of espresso poured in).

    When I don't have time to go to DD on my way to work, I go to the cafeteria in the Hearst Tower and make my own version of Turbo Ice, with the addition of cinammon syrup, and I use skim instead of whole. They use Starbucks coffee which I like better, and it's slightly cheaper, but it's more labor.

    To change it up, I'll go to Starbucks and get an iced venti skim no-whip mocha.

    And in extreme cases, sugarfree Red Bull, which delivers a better kick than regular Red Bull, and without the sugar, you don't crash after an hour.

    Wow, talk about a girlie drink :!:

    For me, it's coffee, black, no decaf, no milk, no sugar, no other stuff.

    You haven't lived until you've picked up coffee from the flight kitchen at O'dark thirty (in a big metal jug) plugged it in to the little galley in the KC-135, and found out an hour into the flight that the unmarked on/off switch for the heater is installed backwards so now you have a jug of cold coffee, which, about an hour after you flip the switch the other way, will get warm enough to drink. Try some of that coffee eight hours into a flight...

    Heeeey - it wouldn't sound so girly without the 1/2 decaf-1/2 regular....but I HAVE to do that, b/c TOO much caffeine also causes my migraines. I can't win!

    I guess the words sprinkle and cinnamon in the same sentence make it kind of frilly, too - huh? :P

    for me, coffee is only a winter drink, best served in a cup covered in deicing fluid. summers it's usually pepsi or coke for a caffeine fixation.


    mosse, had some of that good old flightline coffee you speak of... used to clean you right out!
    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.

    What do you want that the nearest one doesn't have? To my knowledge they all have the same stuff, with the exception of the ones in Flushing and Chinatown, which serve bubble tea.
