  I am asking because I don't get the appeal!

  (preface: At hospital today, can't leave floor to get another h20 bottle, just tried drinking coffee again for the first time in 14years)

  Finally-Free

  I used to drink a lot of coffee but in recent months the caffeine has been bothering me so I've cut back. I used to roast my own beans to a nice dark roast and drink it black, but my roaster crapped out recently. I also make Turkish coffee occasionally.

  I rarely have coffee out of the home because it's always disappointing.

  I love the smell and flavor.

  Caffeine improves my ability to work. Caffeine is the most powerful nootropic available, and you don't even need a prescription!

  Finally, coffee has many health benefits that include the caffeine molecule itself, as well as many others.

  I started drinking it years ago, because it was calorie-free drink. That's why I've never tried adding anything to it. Also, I'm cold-natured and it warms me up.

  Think About It

  I never started drinking coffee until my mid 20's. I actually love it now. Take it with just a little cream. Just stopped the powered creamer and trying to get use to liquid creamer. Don't know if I'm addicted, but I really like it in the morning. Caffeine never seemed to bother me even when I use to work shift work and drank it during the graveyard shift.

  Apart from an occasional pick-me-up I use it as a headache remedy. OTC medicines don't work for me and I don't like soda. With sugar-free hazelnut syrup it's delicious.

  Have you always liked coffee or is it an acquired taste ?

  (Hubby drinks uber-dark roast, black too!)

  I have an espresso machine (Krups) every morning I make a double shot with some very dark beans. I dilute the shots by 1/2 with hot water and drink it black. It's strong flavored and rich and it taste wonderful.

  I don't drink any more coffee the rest of the day.

  I am drinking my second cup as I write this, at my favorite coffee shop.

  Coffee is a marvelous beverage for all the reasons listed. But, mostly it is a social drink. People get together over coffee to enjoy one another's company. Did the addiction come first or the social need for me. Not sure. Chicken and egg methinks.
