Do you drink your coffee black??

Until I have my coffee, I feel like a cyclepath.

Thank God my coffee maker can be set up on automatic the previous night. Its all I can do to reach up for my first cup of coffee while crouched under the small stone bridge.

all this Covfefe chat, and I remember a summer when I worked with a guy who really liked coffee.

TWENTY SEVEN (yes, 27) cups of Coffee a day ... about the same # as his age. I believe that he drank it black. This guy constantly had coffee going ... I guess the question had been asked before. He averaged 2 cups for every waking hour. I thought it was a bit much. Nice guy, even if he never slept. It was a fun summer.

How many restroom breaks per day for him?

I hiked a section of the AT beginning at Mt Kathadin back in 1975. Since I really didn't want extra space taken up I opted to leave out the sugar and powder milk. Always black now.

No, I'm not a psychopath. The voices say so.

The BEST coffee I ever drank was what Braniff Airlines served on their planes more than 30 years ago; a rich, but not bitter, flavor. A year or so ago, a neighbor brought me a cup of coffee from Starbucks that was the same flavor. And I've been trying to find what coffee that was so I can buy it to make at home. The neighbor has moved and I don't know to where, so I wouldn't know which coffee to order if I went to Starbucks (I've never been in a Starbucks place).

Latest post in Readers Digest about a study done at U of Innsbruck/Austria says people who drink their coffee black tend to be anti-social and psychopathic. Perhaps an excellent reason for a touch of Jack in the morning brew.

Bird, I NEVER have coffee anywhere but home. I only want/need/enjoy one or sometimes two cups first thing in the morning.

I buy Starbucks dark roast on sale at Costco. Approximately twelve cents for a single cup.
