You can have it mailed to you at the interval of your choice. Never again wake up to find out that you are coffee-less.

lol..nothing more frustrating then trying to wake up and no go juice! I'm not even remotely human until I've had my first cup. :hand:

Addicted?...sure..:redface:....I've gotta have it. I can go without chocolate, sweets, chips, greasy burgers and the like...but medium rare steak and coffee are a must! Does that mean I'm addicted to a nice steak too? hmmmmm....guess there are worst things to be addicted too. :dance:

I thought I was addicted to coffee when I was in the U.S. Navy. It's no exaggeration to say I'd drink 20 cups a day, and not just little cups either, big old mug size cups.

Now I drink maybe three cups of coffee a year if that much. It's too darned hot in Phoenix to be thinking about coffee so I stick with iced teas, preferably green tea. I've got two sun tea jars which I rotate on my back patio to have fresh sunbrewed tea every day which is about as close as I'm going to get to using solar energy and being green.

I used to have a solar powered clothes dryer, years ago.. A rope strung up between two trees. lol.

I got a solar powered lighter in a box of Cracker Jacks back when the toy surprises were still cool. I'm amazed we didn't burn down the neighborhood with those cheap plastic magnifying glasses.

Cracker Jacks taught me a valuable lesson about sharing with my brothers. If you have to share the Cracker Jacks, the first one gets the most peanuts.

Cracker Jacks was a major childhood addiction. It's amazing my teeth didn't rot out of my head.

I'm not addicted to coffee... I can stop anytime I want... I just don't want to. :shifty:

Few things make me realize that man has conquered Earth than knowing that there is actually coffee in Alaska.

If you've got coffee in Alaska, then pretty much anything anybody wants anywhere is a go.

We not only have coffee, we have Starbucks too. ;)

Its really bad when you find that even an espresso or two won't help you stay awake. :(

I'm so sorry. :(

Starbucks=:evil:
:evil:= very bad coffee

[gdoane]

Overpriced hype is what Starbucks sells, the coffee is just for show like everything else in the shallow vapid pretentiousness that is Starbucks.

If there were a list of the top ten most likely places to run into a so-called "metrosexual", Starbucks would have to be the top three of them.

Starbucks coffee is too acrid. Makes my stomach hurt before I can even finish a cup of that black swill. Can't touch the stuff without paying for it twice. Once in the over priced stuff, and second with my poor stomach turning in acid for the next six hours or so. Soooo not worth it imo!

My Folgers cheapo stuff...works for me in the AM...my Go juice as my girls call it. On really cold days, I could drink a whole pot by myself. During the summer and warmer days of Spring..morning go juice before I move onto juice, water and Coke. I may not be a coffee snob and drink the most expensive stuff out there...but leave me to my cheapo Folgers...not pretty when I'm without it. :naughty:

We never run out of coffee here. When we open our last bag of beans we are off to buy three more. no coffee equals baaaaaaaaaaaaaaad juju around here.

[super cool ski instructor]

I don't want to live in a world where I could wake up one day and find there is no coffee in the pantry....

Give me a good Columbian and I'm in coffee heaven, but in a pinch I'll drink non-Columbian. If I'm really desperate freeze dried will do. But if a person wants to live beyond the morning never, ever serve me decaf.

There was a few years when I was practically living on coffee and cigs./at the time I was working the night shift, so I'd be up at 9am,-drink about a pot and a half before til I left for work at 5pm/
then during the 8-10 hours,there, I would drink at least 20 cups of coffee, and smoke over a pack of cigs.//
this went on for 3 years.../// then one day I just QUIT,cold turkey, no
with-drawl, no nothing. I was fine....---now you see why I'm called 'psyko'.lol.

So you mean you are like this without caffeine!? :eek:

Years ago when I worked construction I was on a bridge job one winter where there were only three engineers on the job and I was the only one who drank coffee. I had a 30 cup percolator that I hauled around from job to job and was drinking about 20 cups a day 6 days a week. One evening I was thumbing through a Consumer Report book called "Licit and Illicit Drugs" at a friends house. There was a chapter dedicated to caffeine. There were anecdotal stories in there about people who freaked out with as few as 8-10 cups of coffee per day. I decided to quit drinking coffee to see what happened. I went cold turkey for a week and had no reaction at all, so I decided I was fine at that dose.

I usually drink 5-6 cups per day now, but good strong fresh ground dark roast or Americanos at the cafes. My wife works in a kitchen accoutrement store that sells beans...

[traditional_woman]

I only drink 1-1.5 cups a day. For me it may be more habit than anything else, I'm sure it is still an addiction though. I am to blame b/c the prior morning as i was making it, i said, ''self you about to run outta coffe, pick some up from the store today''.
I went to the store but forgot the coffee. Oh well, i eventually got some.

No that is when an emergency is declared at my house.
When I don't have my coffee it is a crisis, and those are usually the days my boss gets me to work on folks that ain't doing right and rip em a new one. For some stange reason everyone at the plant avoids me until after they know I've had atleast 2 cups.
So I'm not addicted at all it's just that people are safer around me after a few cups than when i am caffiene/coffee free
