coffee?

[Brookie]

Here's where I am on the coffee scale.

(hate it)----(it's okay)----(I like it a lot)----(I'm love it, i'm addicted)

I like it enough to be a Starbucks rewards member and get a few Americanos a week along with a couple of Frappucinos. So yes, I like it a lot.

I really enjoy coffee! I drink at least one cup most days, and I've found good recipes for iced coffee/cold brew so I can make them at home. I hope at one point I'll be able to buy one of those little at home espresso machines with the milk wand so I can make espresso drinks at home and won't have to spend money buying them from a coffee shop.

I want one too! I want to make my own Americanos. They're just espresso and water lmao

I like the taste of coffee but I like it triple sugar and triple cream. On top of that, I rarely drink coffee. I don't drink it to give me energy to start the day as I have other ways to do just that.

I don't think I can live without coffee, I drink at least 4 or five cups a day, adding two more cups of tea later. I just feel like my body can't operate without it, almost literally.
I think it's a blessing that you don't like coffee because my large intake of caffeine and sugar daily has definitely destroyed my health.

I like the occasional cup but I don't drink it regularily.

Coffee is one of my favourite things in the entire world tbh, I'd consider myself on the... middle of the "coffee nerd" sliding scale; I'm not quite at the point where I'm the kind of person who has 12 different coffee brewing gadgets and uses them all, but I definitely invest way more time and money into this drink than I need to.

Been drinking it black since I was 12 or so, and the stronger, earthier, deeper the flavour the better. I think it's a wholly different category of drink if you add stuff to it... I'm not the kind of person who would act like I'm better because I don't do that, but I just... do not like it at all with anything in it. Which I guess is kind of unusual? lol

I used to drink TONS. Probably got it from my dad who drinks like, literally 2 liters a day. But I've been reducing it a lot over the last few years, and when I got diagnosed with ADHD I was told by my psychiatrist that it's common for people with untreated ADHD to subconsciously use it as a form of self-medication because it focuses you and when you have ADHD it actually makes you feel calmer, not more hyperactive. I guess that kinda explains why I can drink coffee in the evening but it never prevents me from sleeping like it seems to do for many people.

Now my routine is usually just to make myself 1 or 2 little 200ml french press cups a day, from beans I really like called "Coffee Masters Super Crema Espresso"; you can find that on Amazon (at least in the UK) if you like really strong, deep, dark roast, but not acidic coffee, like I do. It's intended for making espresso but it works wonders in a press!

I only started drinking coffee when I started working in Hospitality!

That stuff is like the fuel that keeps you going lol. I'd also say I only really drink it at work because the coffee there tastes a lot nicer than regular granular stuff. If you can find a good coffee brand then usually you don't need milk or sugar because it's sweet enough on it's own.

I'm quite impatient though, especially at work when you get a few minutes to yourself here and there, so usually opt for an iced coffee!

Black coffee is a no for me. But if you add... like... any kind of other beverage or syrup in it?? A delicacy. And I do mean anything, out of the top of my head I can remember mixing vanilla, cranberry syrup, lychee syrup, chocolate powder, coke, chocolate milk, strawberry milk, champagne, hell, even water and fruit juice (don't ask) and none tasted bad.

I never used to like coffee either until I went to university and pulled all-nighters to get my essays done, and now I can drink it straight black.

I hate coffee. I have tried to like it and drunk it several times but I just can't bring myself to enjoy the flavor or smell. I don't like hot beverages either, so hot coffee isn't really my type of thing to begin with. But I have tried frappe and it still tastes too much like coffee, despite the excessive amounts of sweet calories... I want to be able to drink coffee but right now it is impossible.

Tea tastes better but I like coffee, especially an iced frappe. Starbucks is my occasional guilty pleasure. Those mcfrappes are nasty though so I feel for you...you didn't deserve that.

I love coffee; it's probably somewhat due to the fact that my grandma would buy 8-year-old me large iced coffees at McDonald's while my mom wasn't looking lol. Since I started college I get coffee at least twice a week. It's usually iced, but if the day is particularly cold I will go for hot. My campus has both a generic cafe and a Starbucks, so there's plenty of options for coffee lovers like me.

 

[Bcat]

I love coffee, but not from Starbucks. I always get either a cr?me frap or tea there.

 

[Disneyfangirl23]

I don’t like coffee, I prefer tea.

I just made a big cup of coffee haha! I love coffee but I definitely acquired the taste for it over time. I've been drinking a cup (or more) per day since I was in the 10th grade. If I were to recommend something, I'd suggest a mocha or caramel latte from a fancy-schmancy cafe cause it's just a shot of espresso, but the milk+cocoa/caramel in lattes make it less like coffee and more like a dessert
