Coffee is for closers.

That bloated fuck ever told me to put down my cup of Joe I'd fling it in his face right before I kicked his nuts into his throat and spiral fractured his closest wrist and elbow.

"There you fuck, your closed."

Fuck with my coffee and you die!

Me too Mickey. 15-20 cups in the morning makes me jittery.

Well, I've gotten up to a pot in the a.m. and 2-4 sugar-free Red Bull, Monster or Rockstar throughout the day. And from what I have read I will actually have more energy and be more clear headed without it all.

For the past 20 years I only drink orange juice in the morning.

I totally agree you should give up the Bull and Monster, Mick, but don't go all Romney on us and throw out the Joe. Limit your coffee consumption to the good stuff (quality beans) and focus on espresso over anything else. There are benefits to coffee beyond the caffeine hit, but the main thing is to make sure you're savoring what you drink, and getting the most from your java. People who know me think I'm some kind of coffee-holic but the grand total of my daily consumption of coffee comes to 3 small cups of espresso a day, on average. Once I started drinking espresso, conventional methods of making coffee had less appeal and I drank less of it.

Good beans are one life's great pleasures. The aroma, flavor and experience of enjoying a nice espresso is one man's greatest accomplishments.

This makes sense. Maybe I should invest in an espresso maker.

If you go with a stovetop greca, it isn't that big of an investment.

Most likely long term habitual coffee drinkers will never feel 'best' without it.

CharlieBob · Post by **CharlieBob** » Mon May 28, 2012 5:27 pm

Why be dependent on anything to feel "normal"? Caffeine can be a nice treat every once in a while, and a good pick-me-up when running on low, but should not be required for normal functionality. The nice part of this philosophy is that when I do actually need a pick-me-up I am sensitive enough that a single cup of coffee works fantastic. This way you also skip out on all the sugar and other shit in energy drinks, starbucks, etc.

Attention! Do I have your attention? I know I do because it's fuck or walk.
Interest. Are you interested.
Decision. Have you made your decision for Christ.
And action. They're out there waiting to give you their money. Are you going to close you cocksuckers? Are you man enough to close?

Hey! Tea is a great after coffee drink! Goddamn most expansive Empire in History was made by a bunch of tea drinkers.

Nice cup of Constant Comment, 2 sugars, a squirt of honey and a dash of cream.

Caribou Coffee has been on sale locally. Thanks to my trip years ago to the great North. I love this stuff.
The Armenian Artist and I split a pot each morning. One of life's small pleasures.

Giving up coffee makes about as much sense as giving up sex or violence.

Shade grown coffee benefits song birds who use the coffee plant as a natural habitat, reduces the need for fertilizers and herbicides, and promotes biodiversification. Unfortunately, the production of a shade grown coffee estate is almost 1/3 that of a non-shaded coffee farm. Therefore, there is an alarming trend towards technification or the planting of new hybrids in organized fields to maximize profits. Approximately 150 bird species live on farms of shade grown coffee, whereas non-shaded coffee supports s few as 20-50 species. Between 1980 and 1994 the songbird populations have steadily decreased. There are 70% fewer Tennessee Warbles, 30% fewer Baltimore Orioles, and 50% less Cape May Warbles due in part to technification. However, these numbers and the causes for the decrease in bird populations have been debated heavily. Until it is decided that growing shade grown, bird friendly coffee is economically feasible, the trend towards technification will continue.

You damn coffee drinkers and your technification!
