    Thai coffee is grown mainly in the north and it's quite good, but Laos coffee whichI can get here cos I'm close to the border is the shit.

    I just wish there were more places that actually knew how to make decent espresso. They have the perfect ingredients but they seem to love long coffees full of condensed milk and sweet as fuck.

    Still, the coffee itself is great.

    Yeah. A shot of espresso is best in my opinion.

    No need to have your bowels running for the rest of the day, and you still get your boost.

    In Brazil they may drink coffee with milk and sugar in the morning. But during the day is all espresso.

    2 years in Italy converted me to the espresso lifestyle and there's no looking back. Hooked.

    It's the proper way to enjoy coffee.

    That's all there is to it. :D

    I sometimes like coffee. I try to only drink caffeinated drinks when I need them because Im very sensitive to stimulants.
    If I have some coffee or a red bull.I'll be sitting down talking non-stop,making the occasional pause to comment "wow, I'm talking so fast" and "wow, I'm talking so much". That state doesnt really bother me, but yesterday I took this two caffeine pills with aspirine (I forget the name, it starts with e) because I had a terrible headache for at least 4 hours. Then I drank a LOT of coke and at the end of the night I was laying in the couch, listening to my heart beating so fast, extremely anxious and freaking out.

    I've found that some refreshing beverage like ice tea or fresh orange juice is way better early in the morning. I like my first cup of coffee an hour or two after waking up.

    Agreed. I don't drink coffee daily though.

    I was hooked on the stuff for a while, though I'm not a fan of the actual coffee taste, just the light buzz and energy it gives me. so I'd drink the dubious beverages that can only be described as milkshake with caffeine in it. these days though I'll only drink the stuff if I feel I need to wake up a bit, and normal coffee will do in that case. if I have two cups within a few hours, though, I will be heading for the john within an hour after cup #2, guaranteed. and not to pee, either.

    If it tells you anything, I keep my coffee maker about two inches away from my alarm clock.
