Are you familiar with that time of day when you’re not sure if it’s night or morning?? Have you discovered that magical cure that has banished bleary eyes for good and puts a dippy smile on your face even when your two year old son spreads marshmallow fluff all over your computer screen??
No, it’s not beer, but close..

COFFEE LUVERS UNITE!!
is there a coffee addict family support group?
I’m at about 4 cups a day, love my keurig i usually start the day with a newmans own extra bold.
4-5 cups a day. Used to be about 10 or so 😉
sharp
I hope you are joking about 10 and even 4-5 is very unhealthy. Cut down man.
WIY
I kid you not. I have between 4-5 a day. And yes, a number of years ago it was about 10. So I made some progress there….
i like coffee better than any liquid. if i could i would only drink coffee and no water. i like smoke better than air. if i could i would breathe only smoke and no air.
Squeak:
You can definitely try 😉
I don’t think coffee has any effect on me anymore. I think it just keeps the coffee levels of my blood stable.
The coffee room is all the coffee I can handle. I stick with the caffeine pills.
Same here, coffee no longer has an effect on me. I usually just drink it for the taste.
i’ve seen many coffee addicts break their addiction. It is possible!! And you won’t be a wreck every taanis. I also know a current caffeine addict. As in i’d guess 15 cups a day. Ugh
Never drink coffee. Can’t stand the stuff, or caffeine in general for that matter.
I knew a guy who told me he drank 20-25 cups a day. He was a physician.
Decaf?
Decaf is not considered coffee
I need to start drinking a few cups of coffee throughout the day- good for nerves and for keeping weight under control.
Well I sure hope he isn’t drinking 20 cups with caffeine! Ask your doctor how unhealthy that is!
Joseph, please link to jfems coffee comments to show this torah person what happens by hanging out here.
fkelly:
Regular coffee is a lot healthier than decaf. The decaf coffee goes through a lot of processing.
There’s nothing really unhealthy with regular coffee.
I don’t 20 cups of anything is healthy!
And just for the record, everyone says coffee stunts your growth but as a kid I had coffee every morning and I’m quite tall!
Dear fkelly,
So the only complaint that you’re aware of with coffee is that it stunts your growth. And you yourself defied that. Right? No doctor will tell you that coffee is unhealthy.
Coffee for kids is another story. I personally would never give coffee to kids (I don’t really know why, I just wouldn’t) probably because it will make them irritable.
For adults though, it’s great.
So then why is it unhealthy for adults after they stopped growing?
I drink about four or five (large) cups of brewed coffee per day, plus the occasional decaf.
The question is, does anyone know of an inexpensive ground roast which tastes good? I’ve splurged on Gevalia, but I’d like to economize. Folgers Gourmet was horrible; I imagine the regular is worse. I tried the Kirkland Signature World Blend – I returned it. Chock Full O’ Nuts is not bad, but does anyone know of something better?
Maybe Taster’s Choice French Roast. (brown container. not red)
The Taster’s Choice French Roast in particular tastes a lot like brewed coffee. IMHO the Folgers, all of them are awful. It’s almost as bad as drinking dirty water.
Did you try Maxwell House? There’s also Starbucks, you know.
Wait a second! I didnt say that was the only unhealthy thing about coffee! I was just saying that even though people say it stunts growth… But think about it- do you honestly think its not unhealthy to drink 20 cups of caffeine a day?
fkelly:
I don’t think I drink 20 cups of caffeine in a day. I also don’t think it’s terribly unhealthy, or simply unhealthy for that matter. I am only aware of 2 problems with coffee. One is not even applicable to adults. I will list them for your reference:
1) It is said to stunt growth (in children)
2) It’s a bladder irritant. (When consumed in large amounts)
The above issues are not very problematic health-wise.
To fkelly and all other folks that don’t appreciate a good Cup O’ Joe:
This thread is for people who enjoy drinking coffee. If you don’t find yourself to be in this particular group, feel free to open your own support group on a different thread.
We think that coffee improves our quality of life. We also like the taste of it. We very much appreciate the fact that it perks us up and helps us to get through the day.
So, please be so kind and let us enjoy it without having to think too much about it.
Thanking you kindly,
Coffee Addictions Anonymous
Oh, I’m humbled.
Thank you shnitzy. Lol
Sharp, I’m not talking instant. on another thread, I opined that Starbucks Via is the best, and TCFR is second.
I’m referring to brewable ground coffee. No, I haven’t tried Maxwell House (do they make non-instant?). If I do, do i get a free Haggadah?
DaasYochid, Maxwell House makes brew-able ground coffee. Give it shot.
As far as a free Haggadah goes, I regret to inform you that I’m not handing out any. But I do give free coffee for the asking. And you definitely qualify for a free pot of the coffee of your choice.
So experiment and let me know which coffee to prepare for you.
Lol
Shnitzy, I need coffee noooooww!! Saw the invasion?
I will bl”n try the Maxwell House, after I finish my awful Folgers. If I remember, I’ll let you know how it is. It’ll be some time after Pesach (since I won’t get the Haggadah anyway) 🙁 .
DaasYochid: Are you seriously planning on finishing your Folgers? Well then, after Folgers anything is delightful.
But seriously, Maxwell House is a lot better.
You will get a pot of coffee though, so don’t stress the Haggadah 😉
Sharp- I am a recovered coffee addict 😉
Are you happier now?
No Im not, I miss my coffee 🙁
🙂 well I stopped because it gave me stomach problems… But I do occasionally have and caffeine doesnt do anything for me anymore.
