Ok, I've been an avid coffee drinker since I was 14 (going on 7 years ago). Now, I never could drink 'just' coffee, it had to be strong but I started out small (it's an aquired taste for most).

I went from 1-2 shots of espresso to now 4-6 in the same size cup and now almost to straight. I am starting to favor Kona coffee as it has a taste I can't really describe . After spending $4-$6 a cup, I just bought my own machine and never looked back .

So, if you drink coffee, what type is your favorite? Are you a Starbucks person, a Wal-Mart Brand or the typical Folgers/Maxwell House person?

If you don't drink coffee, what is your caffeine fix (other than soda, that really doesn't count...)?

I don't drink coffee, but a capucinno looks so damn tasty.

I don't do cafeine shots. My body finds it weird that I even take sprite so it keeps me going.

Nope, I don't drink coffee either, I'm 18, and no.... it's not appealing to me... I rather like tea lol.

But If I really need cafeine, I'll go and drink Red Bull. It's very rare when I need it though, only if I'm reeaaalllyyyy tired and I have to do allot of work I'll drink Red Bull. And next to that, it's not really healthy to get so much cafeine into your body in one day. I always get hyper active once I had Red Bull, and then in the evening I'm dead lol.

Well, the caffeine never phases me. I am already all over the place with or without it so I might as well drink something that tastes good in the process. I can't stand drinking soft drinks, so I have to have some replacement.

Red Bull is pretty good, but not worth ~$7 for 4 (at least here in TN)

I prefer hot chocolate to coffee. But I don't mind a Frappucinno now and again..

Starbucks is wonderful, but after paying $5-$6 a cup for my fix, it gets pricey. Take a normal person who drinks maybe 1-2 cups per day every now and then, then compare them to me drinking 5-6 cups per day everyday .

If I had the money to blow on drinks, an average of $800 if I took the time to go to Starbucks and buy it cup for cup . While it's good, it's not that good .

As fot hot chocolate, it's not bad, but there's nothing in it . A friend and I did experiment with Kahula Liquor with hot chocolate, it was actually rather good. How people drink liquor in coffee, though, is beyond me.

So you people there don't have a coffee maker in your home?

Get a Senseo machine from Philips, it's cheap and tasty I heard.

Oh no, I have an espresso machine . There's no way I could live without it, it's what gets me up in the morning (not literally, I have to work heh, but it's a 'get up and go' booster).

A mix of Kona and Starbucks ground coffee, beats $5-$6 per cup and I don't have to wait in line while they fill the cup 50% with coffee and 50% foam.
