yeah i was usually a cup of coffee every 1-2 weeks kinda guy.
I just bought a Nespresso Pixie and an Aeroccino 3 for myself. It's so easy and cool. I dont like strong coffee at all so i chose the lighter blend capsules then put some sweet and low in and low fat milk to froth up. I drink around 2 cups a week now and i really like it. The machine is a breeze to clean up and maintain.

If you drink something burnt, you're doing it wrong.
What makes it better than other brands?
Those vicious mornings are caffeine withdrawals kicking in, you won't get them if you don't drink coffee on the regular and you won't notice the caffeine feeling as much. If anything too much caffeine is a terrible feeling, heart rate feeling like it's through the rough and nothing but anxiety. There's a good inbetween.
It's a gorgeous feeling though, waking up all sorts of dead and having a good cup can be a religious experience.

Stop drinking at starbucks then. They burn their beans constantly and it is a terrible flavour.

Are you putting cream and sugar in your drink? You are not a man if you do that. You know that only men drink their coffee black? You are some sort of non-man for drinking your coffee with sugar or cream, the same as drinking your whiskey with Coke or shaving your facial hair.
Only fake-men drink non-black coffee. You can wear latex pink pants and take female growth hormones and still be called a man, but if you drink non-black coffee you are not a real man.
A real man. He doesn't need drugs like the rest of us losers

There's a whole thread about coffee that could probably answer all of your questions!
that's a deep question
type; arabica or robusta, roast, blend, even height where it was grown..

Shut it down, let's go home.
uh no
of caffeine maybe, and only to some
I drink coffee because I like it
the fact of wether or not I "need it" to get through my day is not the reason why I started drinking it
there's a lot of factors about what it gives you and how it makes you feel beyond "staying awake"
im not like constantly falling asleep or something

Starbucks is the worst. For the life of me, I cannot fathom how they became so popular. Easily the worst coffee I've ever had.

You were awake for 24 hours without coffee?! What kind of Superman are you?

I drink coffee with food more often than not, that's how I started, that's how its been most of my life. I've drank coffee to stay awake twice in college, but that's it.

Why are you afraid to ingest coffee?
You know what other freshly made foods tastes like crap after 2 hours? EVERYTHING.

This is like saying, "stop drinking whiskey if you don't like it oak aged." It's one way to prepare the beverage. A way that a majority of people like.
"Stop drinking beer if you don't like popping the cork."

You're not supposed to add creamer and sugar if it's really a good coffee, OP. At that point it's little more than a hot coffee-flavored milkshake.
1) Thank you.
2) I was never exposed to it, no one in my family drinks it. As a result of that and some other things I tend to avoid anything that might have addictive qualities or create a dependency issue. I don't suffer from feeling tired at any time so I never saw the point.
3) I didn't like it when it was hot so I tried to drink it as slowly as possible.
starbucks is a fucking dessert place you don't go there for coffee tho
like, they are great are making something that's called vine frappunito fino thingie and it taste sweet and fattening and good but who actually goes there for coffee besides it being close-by or not having proper time
people who shit on their coffee are kinda misguided on what starbucks does; regardless of what they claim to look cool

All hail the Starbucks overlords. (This is seriously their coffee shop in Capitol Hill)
If I go there will I like coffee? It's not that far.
considering you don't like coffee; probably

You probably did it wrong. Coffee is great if you find the blend, preparation method, and added ingredients (if any) that work for you. Not all coffee is the same, not by a long shot.
For instance, what some people call a light blend, I call nauseating horsewater. Whatever it is they think they're drinking in Portland, it doesn't resemble coffee as I understand it.
There's a vast range of drinks that fall under the heading of coffee. Maybe you'd like Turkish coffee, or a latte, or a dark blend with some half and half. Just be careful with the sugar. It'll ruin the flavor more often than not. It's best used to mask the awfulness of the cheap stuff (with some exceptions).

Because Frappucinos are basically great dessert shakes, they present a good pastry, and they have brand value

Reading this thread as I go through my first coffee of the day is kind of funny.
Speaking of Starbucks, I'm always baffled when I see people buying their coffee there in Italy of all places.

No. It's a really cool place inside and out though. It's funny you wait in line for coffee for 45 mins and you're getting... Starbucks! Which is the McDonald's of coffee. Great place for a coffee date though... if you don't get the coffee.
If you live in Seattle, try Stumptown in Cap Hill. It's small. Get a small latte. It'll be nice and smooth. I sometimes put a small amount of maple syrup in mine. It's legit.
The black coffee drinkers are advance course, you gotta crawl before you run!
Best coffee is Blue Bottle though. If you're in NYC or SF go there. It's incredible. It is what God drinks in the morning while reading the paper.
starbucks has good banana bread
other than that it's all brand value out of TMZ celebrity photos
I'm currently questioning my entire existence. You sound incredibly trustworthy.
The place I was at was like 5 minutes from there. Maybe next time...

Get a Frappucino. Some of them have a little bit of coffee, but it's so little that just about all of them are dessert shakes. Everyone loves those.

eh neither my wife and I drink coffee. I like the flavor in desserts/etc in small amounts but that's it.
now beer tho..

I absolutely loved my first glass of wine, wasn't too fond of beer, but being a poor college student makes you warm to it soon enough. Coffee was a bit more of a struggle. Had my first coffee when I was eight thereabouts with cream and sugar and hated it. But there was something intriguing about people loving something so revolting so I kept at it. Now I drink it black, preferably so strong you have to cut it with a knife. If I don't drink six cups a morning I get a terrible headache. Start with Lattes, end with Italian espresso.
Come over to our side OP it's g-g-g-g-great. *teeth gnashing*
