I'd like to send a link to my daughter. She and I are coffee hounds.

I missed drinking coffee during cancer treatment and for a while after. It tasted horrible to me but I kept making a cup & taking a sip until it tasted good to me again. When it finally did I made a couple of pots by day's end and enjoyed every drop.

It's the first thing I want in the morning

I'm gonna live forever!

smoking and drinking. I gave up tobacco more than once, and have had
only one cigarette in 3 weeks. I don't count the herb. But I do like my beer.

I may drink six beers a year but I like white wine.

19 Good Health Reasons To Drink Coffee

One of my sisters makes a first pot and then a second because she must have it freshly brewed. I;m not that fussy, but that first cup is divine.

because we're all going to die anyway

covfefe.

Must taste like Conshit

I figure with amount of coffee I drink, I will have 25% greater life span, negating my 12% reduction from smoking. Alright!

Mom gave us weak coffee from we were 10 and gradually we grew in to the real stuff. It has been fun watching the nieces and nephews join the tradition.

Bit I beat you, lol.

with peanut butter or cheese. On Sundays there was real breakfast with local stuff or scrambled eggs - bacon was rare and mom sure knew how to stretch them eggs with milk and cheese. Ham - that was Christmas only.

like cereal. Using graham crackers was a real treat.

Another dessert was crumbled cornbread in a glass. Sprinkle sugar. And pour in milk. I mean, lol. And yum. We thought it was so special when we were little.

Mom made lots of bread pudding and we'd pour condensed milk on it. She did make lovely homemade ice cream every now and then.

I do remember the homemade ice cream. I was thinking about that just the other day. Now a days, who makes homemade ice cream. The kids do not even remember what it tastes like.

It was the only good ice cream she ever had because the stuff she bought from the store during the winter was the cheapest crap she could find.

One of the joys of childhood.

Minus the sugar. Extra good if you use cinnamon graham crackers.

Graham crackers was our version of a cookie. But that sounds interesting.

spread peanut butter on one, and made little sandwiches out of them. Then we would dunk them in a cup of coffee and milk. I bet using Nutella would be even better.

I think I may have to buy some graham crackers the next time to shopping...

Yum. I totally forgot that one. They would get a little soft and soggy inside and crunchy on the outside.

Damn. I think I just gained about five pounds just talking all about this.

This was fun. Thank-you.

OK, reason being, is that coffee actually calms those with ADHD down. I just kept loving it but as I got older it started to effect me just like everybody else. I can however go to sleep after drinking coffee but if I have a late night it helps the energy.

Sipping my first cup as I type - Hmmmmm good!

Good to know it's actually healthy!

I'd be drinking it anyway

but it's mostly three cups.

I can't explain it other than the fact that my mother loved tea in the afternoon. I don't mind the odd cup of Sri Lankan tea but tea has never been my beverage.

But not necessary for daily functioning like coffee. Yeah I know the things don't recycle but you will pry my keurig out of of my cold caffeine-deprived hands. Actually the best coffee around here is from Wawa but it's too time-consuming to stop there on my way to work, plus that one is a traffic nightmare.

I cut it off about an hour before bedtime so I won't have to get up during the night.

No really. My motor runs on coffee.

I replaced a nicotine habit with a caffeine habit

Stopped once for fourteen years and now eight. I'll never do nicotine again.

I have a small espresso . I never considered it healthy I am just happy to know its not so bad!!

same with Cuban coffee.

Just like me !

Hate sugar in coffee but like some milk.

And now it's not so bad for me I found out Yayya love it

and said, "Sure it lengthens life. Without it we would kill each other by 10AM."

this morning at the murder without coffee

Nah stopped drinking early today - had to attend a colleagues funeral - she was 84 and drank lots of coffee. She had folks singing Peter Tosh in the Anglican 'high church'.

Works for moi.

Yum! 😋

Back when I was working, I drank a couple of big mugs of coffee for every working day, now that I'm retired (six months so far), I drink it a lot less.

Looks like I'll have to get up early and smell the coffee again.

I am on my third cup as I walk out the door to work, and it is really a giant Yeti tumbler that I drink all the way to work and I like 2+ cups.

A half pot or better at work.

Usually refill that tumbler for the drive home.

...he says, as he takes another slurp from his second large cup before leaving for work.

so there's that...

There are many that would be unrelated to the substance ingested. Such as an active state of mind or such. A variable that would promote coffee intake. That's why I very much dislike these correlation studies. They say strictly nothing about causality but they generate enough excitement to blur the border between fantasy and reality, truth and untruth. A border that is certainly blurred enough in our life at this time.

I think they have their cause and effect reversed. I propose that people who well tolerate caffeine are likely to live longer than those who find its effects mildly unpleasant.

...that makes for a longer life. I've achieved that. I enjoy my morning coffee.

But I also think we humans evolved with diets that included all sorts of complex chemicals found in plants. In a modern diet that's processed and bland, the complex chemicals found in coffee take the place of chemicals found in the sorts of plants we no longer eat.

Our kidneys and livers and intestines expect a certain brew of complex plant molecules and when those are not present things are more likely to go wrong.

study, but I would like to see the raw data, and the criteria used.

It also doesn't appear to be sponsored by the coffee industry

one shot in the morning, one shot after lunch.

On weekends I might brew up a french press and drink maybe 2 cups. Sometimes nothing if I get a good enough sleep the night before.

I get Lavazza whole beans from Amazon and grind it myself at home.
