As much as coffeeholic sounds nice, it may never be that nice really. Did you believe that? Maybe not!
Coffeeholic is a simple term to express a lover of coffee or as most dictionaries have it, it’s being a coffee addict. As much as we have workaholic and shopaholic to be friendlier than their opposite, so also is being coffeeholic. By being a coffeeholic, it means you have no other alternative to coffee.
As a coffeeholic, know your coffees

Yes.
“I can drink a 20 oz cup of the hottest, blackest, thickest coffee you ever saw and go right to sleep.”
Ditto. I have my last cup around 9pm, and hit the hay at 10. I sleep fine.
“We drink Folgers Black Silk.”
We bought those K-Cups by mistake once, and LOVED it. It’s delicious.
“Coffee. Because murder is wrong.”
Good one!
I drank enough black coffee. Green tea extract now for me. Just add hot water>>>> https://www.amazon.com/dp/B011J6PU6M?ref=nb_sb_ss_w_as-reorder_k6_1_6&=&crid=2BBNM9Z9QIYEE&sprefix=green%2B&th=1
I don’t need coffee to wake up, I wake up to drink coffee.
I don’t do Starbucks though. I buy beans and grind them at home.
After the Navy and back in college, I would have a cup of black coffee in the morning, maybe as a breakfast drink, maybe just as a habit. This was in the early 90s and "coffee shops" existed, but they weren't the pretentious places they are today.
In the corporate world, a cup of coffee was more a social thing: something you could share with a colleague as you're reviewing project plans or grab with a donut in a conference.
Now, I enjoy 1-2 cups in the morning, with my wife. We have a nice Jura machine that we feed with Lavazza beans. Are they the best in the world? I don't know. They're delicious and work well in our machine. I used to drink black coffee only; now, I enjoy the cappuccinos with a little milk froth, especially on the weekends.
I try not to be but.....😉
I wouldn’t say I’m addicted. I can quit whenever I want, and do so a couple of times a day.
Right - dark roasts are the best.
Boyd’s brand is my only choice good stuff.
Good stuff!
Never a coffee drinker until someone on FP recomended it. It is such a smooth brew. Only one we drink now.
Same here, not bitter either, love my 2 cups, black, in the am.
| Coffee is both a relaxing drink and a beloved conversation enabler across the globe. And coffee is so universally available that merchants go to great lengths to build a mystique around their brands and cafés. Candor7 loves the coffee brand Volcanica. Wow, what a terrific name! "Volcanica" conjures up images of adventure: rugged mountain trails, the heat and steam of molten lava, and dark jungles where tribesmen harvest the beans and drink the bitter brew next to an open fire. Here in Japan, a Starbucks café coming to town is seen as a sign of urban sophistication — "Why, this must be a great neighborhood to live in!" Japan's apartments, which once had at least one room of tatami (straw mat) floors, are now giving way to full-western style "LDKs" (Living Dining Kitchen combo apartments) that are far more earthquake-safe and energy efficient. Likewise families are migrating from expensive, commuter-train supported cities like downtown Tokyo to densely packed suburbs of brand new, custom single-family homes — enabled by mostly hybrid and electric cars. Even Japan's manufacturing giants, Toyota and Panasonic, are building these modular homes in a crowded field of national builders. The Starbucks cafés I see here feature: rich wood interiors, stunning design, sporty sedans lined up outside the takeout window, and yuppie baristas wearing wireless headsets and terrific smiles. Who would have thought? Coffee is helping drive the Japanese to more American-style living :-) |
