Your Caffiene for the day?

**Alex T** · 2006-09-21, 10:11 AM

Ok I know I misspelled it but I don't know how to spell it.

Every morning I wake up and go to work or class, and everyone is holding something, whether its Soda, or Coffee or some type of drink, ie red bull.

I was curious if you do drink in the morning what do you drink or what can you not be seen without in the morning?

For me I tryt o grab a coke or mountain dew each morning.

Otherwise, I am screwed for the morning.

I never used to have a morning necessity of a drink, but now that I am out the door by 7:15 and not back home until 12 hours later, I need something.

All summer it's been: Medium 1/2 decaf, 1/2 regular iced coffee w/extra skim milk, sweet n' low and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

When it's cold out, I drink English Breakfast tea w/Skim milk.

I forgot about Tea, Tea only tastes good to me in the summer when its ice cold (the drink), I can't imagine warm tea at all blech.

Your drink sounds very tasty, almost desert like.

Is that drink found at starbucks or another place?

That's another thing, you sure have to have a tolerance to drink coffee, I absolutely love the smell of it but can't stand the taste of it!

I usually don't need, if I need something, the closest that I get is some Ginsen Drops.

**Mellyrose** · 2006-09-21, 11:02 AM

I get it at Guy n Gallard. I usually refuse to go to Starbucks. Also, I just have them put the coffee in the cup, I do the milk, sweet n low and cinnamon. I don't trust anyone else. ;)

Hot tea is awesome....except it makes you have to peeeeee!

If I can only get MidnightMike's blood and slow drip the IV into my system, I wouldnt need the beans!

Most of the year, its dunkin donuts
large iced coffee, skim milk, one sugar. And @ my local dunkin donuts, the owner takes care of me, he's a real good guy.

If I brew at home, I have three options:

a. quickest is the percolator drip style, in a full mug, skim milk and maybe 1 sugar...equates to 3 cups of coffee.

b. For a bit of zing, maybe one a month, triple espresso, a dab of skim, 1 sugar

c. For those mornings where I can take a bit of time and make a quality cup of java, I use the french press, boil the water, grind the beans coarse and steep for 5 minutes before drinking, black. I enjoy this best.

Sometimes I'll bring home a bag of beans from Starbucks, Yergacheffe, or Komodo Dragon. But Fairway was a great variety of beans.

Its 1100.. I've worked out thus far and have not had a cup yet.....be right back.

In the morning I generally don't do coffee all that much however in the afternoon we do our Starbucks run. My entire dept is hooked on Starbucks to the point my boss gets excited when we say we are going. I take a Grande Cafe Moca with two shots! We challeged each other two weeks ago who can do the most shots in their Starbucks, god we were freaking jumping over the cube walls. It was crazy.

I know the truth about your TARGET Starbucks runs, Tommy. You devil. :twisted:

**Alex T** · 2006-09-21, 12:30 PM

I actually can imagine Tom bouncing all over the walls......

I usually don't need caffeine, but my glass of OJ every morning is absolutely required! Every so often when I need a boost I'll have a cup of regular tea with sugar. I used to have coffee instead, but realized it upset my stomach.

On the drive home from work, if I'm falling asleep at the wheel, I'll stop by Starbucks and get a Frappuccino. And when I'm REALLY tired I'll have them put in a handful of coffee beans before they blend it! That really wakes me up!
