Are you a Coffeeholic?

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

I'm not a coffee drinker and I see the lines of people at places like Starbucks, I guess they are like modern opium dens.

I am not calling for a ban on coffee, just making an observation.

Flame away.

[Jamestown1630]

I had a cup of coffee every morning before I retired; it was something I really wanted - and being a plain, hot black coffee person I was never interested in Starbucks.

Now retired, I drink it if my husband has made it, but I’m just not that interested in it anymore (???)

I think I prefer tea, now, and will probably give up coffee altogether.

I’m a coffee ritualist. Unabashed.

[Dilbert San Diego]

What can we say? Some people like their Starbucks.

Did Starbucks become popular with yuppies,? Is that how it became such a huge company?

Two in the morning and one around 3pm and that’s it for the day. And only the best like Peets as an example.

[kosciusko51]

I enjoy my coffee, but I rarely go to Starbucks. My wife and I split a pot of half-caf coffee daily (sometimes a bit more).

[toddausauras]

It’s tasty stuff but I don’t like messing with caffeine. Caffeine is a drug that isn’t quite worth the trouble in my books.

[Valpal1]

I’m a coffee snob and I would drink ditch water before Starbucks over-roasted sad quality beans.

I generally stick to Camerons light roasted decaf beans and make my coffee via pour-over ritual.

If I’m going to a drive through, it will be Black Rock or Human Bean.

[big truck]

I’m usually running about a quart low on coffee at any given time of the day. Being an over-the-road truck driver I always have a hot cup near by.

I don’t drink it to keep myself awake - I can drink a 20 oz cup of the hottest, blackest, thickest coffee you ever saw and go right to sleep. I drink it for something to do while I’m driving.

I quit smoking and now chew toothpicks. Coffee is just like the toothpicks - something to do while I cover the miles.

[Zuriel]

I’ve never cared for a drink so hot that I couldn’t gulp down if in a hurry. As far as caffiene, I’ve never wanted to rely on a drug to keep me focused, as I considered that weakness of discipline. In almost 2 million miles of trucking I may have drank a dozen cans of sweet tea.

My wife is a coffeeholic, IMO.

[shotgun]

2 cups each morning. Any more than that and I have to pee all day

[al baby]

No it cuts into my recreational heroine money

[woodbutcher1963]

One cup in the morning.

My wife used to really like Dunkin. Not so much anymore.

The 23 year old young lady behind me stops at Starbucks everyday. She still lives with her parents.
She buys a $7-9 coffee.
Last week I asked her if she ever did the math on what she is spending just on coffee annually? Over $2000. She is trying to cut back now.

[Flaming Conservative]

We drink Folgers Black Silk. It’s the best coffee I’ve ever had, and I never even liked coffee. It has chocolate undertones. Coffee snobs eschew it, I’m sure, but they ought to try it; it’s awesome!

Are you a Coffeeholic?

I drink it for health reasons.

That would be the health of those around me.

Coffee. Because murder is wrong.

[timestax]

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

I generally take it black in the morning but in the afternoon a bit of cream is good.

A slice of orange is also good but not if you already added cream.

Same.
I’m not a “coffeeholic”. Nor am I a coffee snob, or a connoisseur, or whatever else. I couldn’t tell you which beans are better, or why, nor where they are grown.

I can see I am a slight bit of a coffee ‘purist’ though. I prefer my coffee untainted by cream or sugar, and I prefer it brewed slower. In fact, my favorite preparation method is a french press.

But basically, to me, it’s just a morning thing.

[peggybac]

2-3 cups of strong French Roast with real whipping cream. Once in awhile I mix it with Chai tea and a bit of sweetener. So good. Strange thing is I really crave it at night.
