I used to drink massive amounts of coffee, but I’m slowly transitioning to tea. I don’t think the caffeine does me any favors mood-wise, but I still really love the flavor of coffee. What do you drink?

    I have an oral fixation and I know how addictive Coffee is so that a big no from me. I choose Tea, it’s really good and it pairs well with breakfast without killing my stomach later

    I love coffee but generally am finished drinking it by midday. I do it in a caffetier which does about 2 and a half mugs which is enough. I’ve managed to reduce the amount of scoops to 5 now. I think i was going a bit heavy with it. I have it with cream mostly which is just delicious.

    I do drink soft drinks so will get caffeine from them but I don’t do things like red bull etc. That’s just unhealthy.

    I like tea better, much more variety, but if you love coffee, learn how to cold brew at home(its really cheap), and get one of those monthly subscriptions to coffees from around the world. You’ll have some of the best coffees you’ve ever had for really cheap.

    I drink coffee and strong one too. So strong that my place of work had to implement limits on coffee grounds in the machine otherwise my coworkers couldn’t drink it.

    That being said, caffeine can be a removed. I don’t drink coffee after 15h so that I don’t fuck up my sleeping.

    I like it but I really don’t want to get accustomed to its effect so I try to only drink it when I feel really tired. I don’t feel like being dependent on caffeine to go through the day is going to improve my wellbeing

    I prepare a kettle with coffee in the morning, it serves about one mug and a half, two mugs depending on the size of it, during the afternoon I drink mate (sometimes I switch to tea instead) which also contains high amounts of caffeine, and I stop drinking any kind of caffeine beverage before 1800 so that I can sleep properly. I think that if you manage to lower your dosage you should be fine. I really need something to wake me up in the morning, so yeah.

      That’s about where I’m at. I coldbrew a French press over night, then switch to tea in the afternoon. It is nice to have the pick-me-up in the morning! 😁

    a pot of pure black coffee a day helps me concentrate and focus and makes me sleepy, and I’ve never been sleepy because of it.

    Without a mug of black drip coffee or moka pot (from properly roasted beans, not black-oil roast) to start my day, my outlook is pretty dark. I used to think it was the caffeine but tea doesn’t cut it at all. There’s something in that coffee that makes me hate this world a bit less by the time the cup is empty. No idea what I will do on that front when the real war comes, probably kamikaze for a good cause.

    I don’t drink coffee as much as I used to

    I AM a massive mountain dew addict though, and it’s summer so you can get Baja Blast, I drink like 2 liters a day at least. End me, please.

      I say this with love. Get that Mt. Dew shit under control if you can. Got a coworker who lives and dies on that shit for hydration. Mother fucker’s kidneys failed and he spent a week and a half in the hospital.

      Otherwise, please chase that soda with plenty of water at least. Dont let that shit kill ya, my guy.

          Homie. I live in Appalachia. Mt. Dew is like godly nectar. There is nothing much more satisfying than an ice cold Mt. Dew around here. Except for southern sweet iced tea or Ski.

            I’m happy it’s summer so I can get Baja Blast. I mainly drink Diet, sue me.

            What’s ski?

            I like to imagine you guys have this secret spring that y’all harvest Mountain Dew from. Your second biggest export is mountain dew next to coal.

            Wait if y’all are already impoverished while running on coal, how y’all gonna survive when we start going sustainable. Socialism or bust? Blaire Mountain round two, for keeps?

    I drink coffee on occasion, however I do drink an awful lot of tea. I do think that I am a weird case in that caffeine makes me sleepy.

    I make kombucha that I ferment for a full month so there’s very little sugar or caffeine in it at that point. Closer to a vinegar really. Sometimes I make a cup of hot tea in the am to go with my kombucha or something but generally I don’t really like caffeine or what it does to me. Other than that it’s water all the way.
