First off - there's no such thing as "too much coffee". I'd never ruin a good (or bad) cup of coffee by adding anything to it (besides Kahlua). And I don't attend AA meetings just for the coffee. It's also a great place to meet girls that like to party.

Yesterday I had 8 shots of espresso and a Whoopass energy drink before 2pm. Caffeine is my friend.

In Miami, on the way down to breakfast, the elevator got stuck between floors. After about 20 minutes someone pryed the doors open a bit to tell me they would have me out ASAP... did I need anything?
I shouted COFFEE - JUST COFFEE - NOW!!!!
A thermos was quickly provided  As I drank the hot black brew I realized I was truly addicted..... shrugged and finished the entire thermos.
And no... I did not climb the side of the elevator and claw the door open... I would have needed a second thermos

I am in agreement with that - except on a cold winter morning a little blackberry brandy  is also good with a Saturday or Sunday morning cup of coffee. But without the Kahlua or brandy I like my coffee the way nature intended - right out of the bean.  |

OMG - my worst nightmare. Thank God they were able to squeeze a thermos in for you. Would have been horrible to be a smoker in that elevator.

I have a Starbucks coffee machine at work that grinds the fresh beans up on the spot and makes you an individual cup of Joe. It is one of the best cups of coffee I have ever had, and I get to have it 5 times a day!
Frangelico is delicous in coffee, i recommend trying it. You dont need a lot, that stuff is fairly sweet.

Ah...yes. I use a splash of that (along with 5 other liquors ) when I mix up my Irish Coffee recipe. It adds just a touch of hazelnut taste. |

Beachy, I just clicked the Anal Glaucoma link in your signature. I love it!
I know, this has nothing to do with coffee. But I am on my third pot for the day.

Brent, IMO your taste in Baseball teams is right on. But to refer to Starbucks as a quality coffee is like calling the Yankees "Boston's team"!! LOL. SB doesn't rate in the top 100. SB reminds me of the King who wore no clothes." They were finally dropped by three airlines after receiving too many passenger complaints about the bitter acidity caused by their burning (as opposed to roasting) of the low quality beans they buy. They do a wonderful job of marketing, but in the Barista world, their coffee is an atrocity. Of course, add enough chocolate, sugar, hazelut, soy, vanila, and more sugar and you can disguise anything. But hey, if you like it, that's all that counts too.

On high pressure days, I easily do that. Normal days are two cup of coffee days. Not saying it's healthy but coffee is one of my few vices.
