I found that several cups of espresso based coffie goes a long way. Try grinding your own beans and making coffie with an espresso machine. My formula is 2 servings of espresso added to 8 ounces of hot water,,,,,,,

If you are speaking of 'Eight O-Clock' coffee, then yes, it is good. I use it when I am at home, and have my wife send me a bag of it each month. AFAIC, it is the best coffee for the price that you can get anywhere.

I am fortunate enough to have a coffee shop over here. It's called "GreenBeans" and they make pretty much everything that Starbucks makes. I usually get a regular house coffee before coming to work (nights). We also have a pot in the office, but I get tired of being the one that buys the coffee all the time, so I took to drinking some instant coffee (yuck).

neither my wife nor I drink coffee, When the inlaw come to visit, they complained that we didnt have a coffee maker. They went and bought us 1. now when they come, they pull it out, they put it away.

At my old work, the guy on 3rd shift was responsible for making coffee. I explained to everyone that I had 0 experiance in making coffee, After 1 night, I was never asked to make it again

Maxwell House Original and the High test Dark.

Edwards Brand (Safeway)

and a
Variety of Fresh Gourmet Beans.

I have a Mellitta Grind & Brew at home. Put the beans in hit the button, the beans are ground up to a certain grind.....then the water starts the brewing.
Freshest coffee ever.

Tim Horton's coffee is okay in pinch, but I prefer A & W's new coffee.
Better tasting and priced cheaper than Tim's.

I dont drink much, but my grandparents, they drink between 3-6 pots a day (12 cup), it just depends on how many visitors they have. My grandpa will work 15-30 min, walk inside fill up a cup, work until its empty and start over. all day long haha

A good place to do my first post...


I am a coffee driven addict. Take it black and have spilt so much in my trucks they smell like starbucks. I have tossed the grinds on a rhubarb plant in the back yard all summer and that sucker was almost 42 inchs high. This summer I will do it again and record the growth.


Must be something in the starbucks coffee.

It stunts growth upward, I am proof that it does not stunt horizontal growth.

I don't drink it - I have it injected intravenously

In all seriousness - I only drink a cup a day if I do have one... but if I do, it is like sump oil...
I usually drink water - and camomile or jasmine tea in the evening...

I drink 6-8 cups a day. I prefer Arabica, black and strong. I have never been in a starbucks or had a cup of whatever that stuff is they sell.

You Canadians, I tried Tim Horton's for the first time last week. Pretty good stuff.

Just for fun, lets add how old you were when you started drinking the stuff. I've been drinking coffee since I was in the third grade, and regularly (daily) since the fifth grade.

MMMMMM, sump oil.

Been drinking it as long as I can remember, which is significantly over 30 years.

I have only been drinking coffee on a daily basis four years ago when I started working in the oilfield.
