Coffee and personality thing

[Crescent Pulsar S]

I recently heard about that thing regarding that stuff. Y'know, where people of a certain nature tend to drink coffee in a certain way. I don't really buy into that (I'm poor, after all), but I wonder if the study took into account people like me, who drink it when they're bored of drinking something else and will drink whatever so long as the flavor pleases the palate and/or the mood. I don't really care about type, much less sticking with one, so long as I enjoy what I'm drinking. I mean, like I said, I can get bored of drinking the same thing. On the uncommon occasion that we get soda around here, for instance, I prefer getting at least two kinds so I can change things up a bit, depending on this or that.

Lately, as far as coffee goes, I've mostly been drinking instant cappuccino. Both instant and cappuccino are mentioned separately, but not together, so I wonder how that's supposed to work. ;/

(When your powers combine, I... am Captain Coffee!)

Go coffee!

unless it's from the local Burger king. that stuff tastes like hate in liquid form.

[Crescent Pulsar S]

I wouldn't know. I've only had coffee that wasn't made at the house once or twice in my entire life.

I drink coffee voluntarily once a year, and then it's kettlebrew. Otherwise I prefer tea.

I drink a cup iced coffee about 2-3 times a week. I just mix up a teaspoon of instant, 2 teaspoons of creamer, equal, and ice. Sometimes I'd put a pinch of instant oatmeal. I'm not really supposed to drink coffee.

While I love commercial moccha frappucinos, I can't justify the price.

Warm/hot coffee makes me want to throw up. I can sip/drink the stuff, but after a few minutes of sitting in my stomach I'll start feeling nauseous.

[Crescent Pulsar S]

Why aren't you supposed to drink coffee?

If by commercial, you mean the stuff prepared in a cafe? If so, I would agree. It's like the prices for stuff at a concession stand, when you go to a theater. I've found some instant cappuccino for under four dollars, and I get twelve mugs of coffee out of that. That's not only a great price, but I drink it because I like the taste. Win-win.

That's a weird reaction. Is that a psychosomatic problem, or something? :O

[Noy Telinú]

I don't drink coffee. It smells horrible!

Like seriously! What the hell!?

And it's so expensive...

So from my point of view it sells like a waste of time. And money. :/

Why aren't you supposed to drink coffee?

High phosphate. Extension of the health problems that have been plaguing me for the last 4 years.

If by commercial, you mean the stuff prepared in a cafe?

Yep. Starbucks, seattle's best, McDonald's cafe, etc.

That's a weird reaction. Is that a psychosomatic problem, or something?

I dunno. Warm coffee and water has that effect on me. But not broths or soup.

]It smells horrible!

Heathen!

I live two blocks away from a coffee factory!:D Mmmmm, ultra-fresh coffee smell.

And it's so expensive...

If you're buying from a cafe -- their markup is insane.

I can get instant frappucino for around 15 cents from supermarkets. A starbucks frappucino is around $3.

[Dumbledork]

I don't drink coffee. The stuff tastes nasty. I get my daily dose of caffeine from a can of Coke Zero.

[Crescent Pulsar S]

You're probably worse off than coffee drinkers.

[Noy Telinú]

Feh! Using liquids to wake yourself up in the morning.

All I need is to be thrown into a koi pond!

No, wait, wrong person.

I just force myself out of bed. Throw water at my face and I don't get tired. Unless I have the slept at all then I'm screwed.

[Crescent Pulsar S]

I can't say that I understand the need-coffee-to-wake-up thing. I drink coffee like I do any other drink, regardless of the time. I'm more confused about people who have trouble getting up and getting it together after they wake up, because I don't have that problem even if I don't get a lot of sleep after being up for a long time.

I recently heard that coffee really isn't much of a stimulant, anyway. I wonder if that's true.

[Noy Telinú]

Maybe they're addicted or something? Like mlb and steroids?

[Spica75]

Who needs coffee? I´m generally far too awake anyway.

Not that i even like coffee, never drink it. Funny comparison, my brother is just the opposite and started drinking coffee when he was 4 - 5 or something.

[Crescent Pulsar S]

If it's tasty, I'll drink it. Or, maybe "tasty" isn't the right word... There were a lot of things that I used to dislike and stay away from when I was young, but nowadays I have no problem with them for whatever reason.

Maybe they're addicted or something? Like mlb and steroids?

Maybe. If it's not a stimulant, then it might seem like it when it picks you back up because you had gone without it for too long.
