It’s addiction like smoking or alcohol. No coffee no pleasure. Coffee is not delicious in my opinion, it’s just bitter, black, bad smelling liquid.

Thanks Paula,just a bit of management,some lifestyle changes and a nanny nap a day. I prefer the holistic approach ,rather than the medications I have taken in the past. Mindfulness,meditation relaxation,massage,all the good stuff.

Why is that girl holding her head up?...does anyone else drink coffee that way?...I don't think so....maybe she has a broken neck?

I enjoy drinking coffee. It doesn’t matter what time of day it is.

I get up early flick on jug get my girl ready for her day a nd make my coffee to go.

Coffee has a different affect in me. I found it helps me a good night sleep. Does any one get the same affect and if so could we discuss what me

Coffee mid morning for me as I like my orange juice early start with my weetbix and fruit as starters

I like my two cups of tea in the morning

I have green tea first thing in the morning with lemon and honey. Since doing this I have never had a cold. But morning coffee from my coffee machine is a must for morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea. Later for tea or before bed I'll drink milk.

I start work at 3 in the afternoon so I am usually well awake by then. I need 2 cups of coffee to get started.The first 2 cups or any that I have before noon are stronger.From my 3rd or post noon I switch t something milder.

My goodness, you're hard work. I enjoy a coffee but not first thing in the morning, for me it has to be tea. As for biting people's head off, I get greeted by my cats every morning so it's all pretty cheery. But my coffee, it has to be barista or my Nescafe pod machine because I'm very fussy about my coffee.

Yes!! I require at least 2 coffees before I come alive. I drink about 5 coffees a day I also drink tea before bedEdited 18-Apr-22 20:39pm

I have a cup of tea first up. And later on I my have a coffee,but can't drink it when first get up. Ilove coffee and tea. ?but have to limit how much I have a day and when because I have narcolypsy

Coffee is my go to drink. I have about 5 cups a day and they keep me stimulated and alert.

I love my cup of coffee in the afternoons

Tea is my morning cuppa, but coffee anytime after, but if I drink too much I end up in bed with migrains

I love my coffee and 3 cups a day

I'm not addicted to coffee.. but I started drinking Nescafe Chocolate Orange Mocha which I think is a nice change from the usual green tea :D I have developed a habit of getting up about 2hrs before work and I don't usually need to drink coffee to start my day.. however, some of my coworkers make me feel sleepy when they waffle on and on

Some people love coffee some people love tea. Some people neither. I am a coffee type.

Have to have a cup as soon as I get to work before I do anything.

Tea for me...

I am in my mid 70s and have never had a cup of coffee - does it really give one a burst of energy?

One cup mid morning, one cup mid afternoon, both black as sin and twice as good…..lol

I have always loved the smell of coffee but never the taste. My caffeine is mountain Dew...been that way for over 40 yrs..sad

some trendies are overcome with pretensions these include some coffee drinkers

I loved coffee. I used to drink 5 or 6 cups of coffee a day, then I had a shoulder operation, then I found out that I have high blood pressure. I was told by my doctor, that drinking too much coffee, makes you dehydrate and also increases your high blood pressure. My take now is 1 cup of coffee a day

I only have 2 weak organic coffees per day and never before 11am. Edited 18-Apr-22 14:51pm

I don't drink coffee...I'm a tea drinker

Tried starting the day without coffee once - was NOT a good idea!

There's something comforting about a coffee first thing!

Dis you know that Coffee raises your Blood Pressure? Mine is all over the place most of the time - strangely if I am in hospital, very, very seldom, but if I am seeing a doctor at a clinic it flies through the roof to over 210/98 it goes down to what they regard as "normal" levels! My cardiologist has restricted me to One cup/mug per day. Fortunately I also love Tea so I don't miss Coffee very much.

I love drinking my coffee

I love my coffee so much my late husband bought me a coffee maker so he didn't have to see the grumpy side of me of a morning.

I always have green tea for breakfast but I also enjoy a coffee through the day

An they say Tabaco is addictive you are describing withdrawal symptoms.

i,m retired but love my coffee and tea

I am retired and only drink tea in the mornings.

i love coffee and I also tea

Coffee drinkers are addicts' like drugs and alcoholics. It's a very addictive substance.

I have one coffe a day at morning tea. I am supposed to cut it out all together but have not got there yet

I'm not a big coffee drinker but I do enjoy once a payday a super large deluxe ice coffee with a double shot of coffee, vanilla and cream at a specialty shop. I think if you have something (whatever it is) all the time it becomes a habit rather than a treat. I also love raw oysters but if I had them everyday they would lose the thing that makes them "special." I have friends that have 5-6 coffees a day. To me that would reduce the "value" of a coffee to that of a dry salt cracker.

I love my coffee too, I can't live without it. Instant for me and we have a blend of 2 coffees as I find Maccona a little too strong. Don't drink a huge amount either, 3 or 4 cups a day.

I used to just get up and go straight to work (I usually got dressed first) I prefer the extra hour of sleep myself...and while I like strong coffee it has absolutely no effect on me at all....so I don't need it...

We enjoy our coffee have a machine to do our own as previously we spent $60-70 per week in coffee shops so much cheaper to have it at home but do occasionally meet friends for a coffee in a cafe,love the stuff

I completed my studies at Uni over a period of 6 years. I would catch a Bus at 6:50 am, then a Train just after 7:00 am, and then a Bus around 7:50 am which took me directly to the Uni (Sydney's Macquarie Uni) in time for my first class of the day at 9:00 am. The Bus used a freeway or expressway often and this is the reason why I made it to class on time. Some people who drove themselves often didn't make it on time for their first class due to traffic jams. I can see how Coffee would have bean tempting on those Uni days, but I didn't give in to this temptation!

I dont drink coffee or tea, can't stand the taste or smell. The irony is I work in a cafe and am a qualified Barista

my dog doesn't care if i drink coffee or tea, as long as i feed him and take him out for a walk,as soon as i wake up...

Not a coffee drinker and I am retired

I usually have 3 a day. I remember when I was younger no coffee but I recall bottles of chicory in the pantry. Not sure when I started to drink it but maybe early 20’s. In USA you go to a restaurant and got a spool from waitress. What coffee do you want. Decaf,regular etc etc

got over that self control thing when I was growing up. it's just a bloody nuisance and is noly a personal issue

I'm a herbal tea drinker but I don't have a cuppa till around 10am.

I get up when I get up but the first thing is my cup of coffee before anything else.

Oh, that's a bit extreme, Mate!

Oh that's a bit extreme!

I am retired and need my two or three cups of coffee every day. Gives my a good reason to support my local coffee shop.

I like drinking herbal tea. If I don't drink that first thing in the morning, im cranky lol so I see what you mean. :)

No, I'm unemployed. I don't drink coffee very often

I have one coffee mid morning !

I usually have one cup of Robert Timms instant in the morning and that's it, Tea the rest of the day.

My day starts with one coffee for breakfast, and maybe one more later on in the day, maybe for morning tea, no more

I rely on coffee to the extent I’m sick of it

Whoever speaks to me before I've had my 2nd coffee has a death wish!!!!

Don't go to paid work, But in saying that I am always busy doing other things,(volunteering, supporting friends, gardening), Always start my day with a black coffee, and drink coffee all through the day, with last one being just before getting into bed, No trouble sleeping, Caffeine doesn't have any affect me. And its the same with the energy drinks. I just love the taste, of them both.

I have never seen the attraction of coffee. To me the smell of coffee is delicious and the taste, a great disappointment. The only time I drink coffee is when I go out, as cafes don't seem to know how to make good tea - I don't think they boil the water, but just heat it a bit.

Have to get my coffee with er 3 sugars when i start my day. My teeth slowly weep but i tell them to back off.

I have to have a coffee after I feed my two dogs and cat first thing in the morning I have two coffees every day that's it if I stay home .I'll have a third coffee when I'm socializing.lol.

I don't drink coffee, but I have to have a pepsi in order to get up.

Caffeine doesn't affect me. Same with the stuff in energy drinks. I can drink a large coffee or energy drink and fall asleep

I was sick of drinking tea and tried coffee and loved it, my blood pressure rose dramatically so had to give it up on a daily basis, it is now my once in a while treat.

I abhor coffee and even the smell of it makes me feel nauseous.

I don't leave home to go to work. I have 5 large mugs of weak milky coffee between 4:30am and noon. No caffeine for rest of the day.

I am tea drinker, caramel coffee is after dog walk treat :)

Nah! Coffee is a treat mid morning!

I need my morning coffee before I talk to anyone in my home and yes I wake up at least an hour before anyone

I ALWAYS HAVE MY COFFEE IN THE MORNING I LOVE MY COFFEE BUT NORMALLY ONLY 2 A DAY

Coffee is important as a ritual. It is the time spent on yourself that makes it important. I drink decaf these days.

It helps mind and heart to achieve patience

I have never needed coffee in the morning just a glass of water. Coffee for me might be at 10 am but had to stop it recently due to heart palpitations. I have notice it has eased quite a bit. wine for me also gives me heart palpitations now in my senior years when it never did before. I drink tea or water at the present. Oh the fun of getting older

We are a household of coffee drinkers, love our cups of tea as well, kettle seems to be on all day, drink them both with or without milk. So it seems we have a real dilemma. do we now blame the coffee, lack thereof, or the weather if we're having a good or bad day?

yes agree ! one coffee then talk to me lol

I can't understand the fixation with drinking coffee first thing in the morning. I have tea with my breakfast & coffee with my other meals but it is just a matter of preference & does nothing for me. I can take it or leave it.

I became a coffee fan during covid. Before covid I had coffee maybe twice a year as a desert after a restaurant meal. I gave up my one soda per day for a cold brew coffee each day instead. It was really trading one caffeine addiction for another.

Count me in! I sit for an hour with my coffee in peace (including the morning news) and drink 2 cups before taking on the day.Edited 18-Apr-22 06:07am

Not a coffee drinker - sometimes I will drink hot chocolate (aka cocoa) - in the morning!

that lets me out, i don't work anymore, i just leisurely have coffee, take as long as i want, then continue on with the honey do list, ;-)) Edited 18-Apr-22 03:45am

I drink coffee all during the day. It just depends when the mood hits. I always drink coffee in the am. I will drink coffee with dessert in the afternoon too. For a treat at least once a week, my daughter & I will get drinks at Starbucks. I sometimes get coffee, she gets iced green tea.

I don't drink coffee at all.

LOVE MY COFFEE. INFACT, I'M HAVING ONE RIGHT NOW.

I used to hate and now love it, addicted

Love the smell of coffee but the taste is just plain awful

Gotta have my coffee in the morning, starts my day.

Not me, I learnt to go remove the idiot box, radio and limit internet, go to bed early, sleep like a log. and never have a problem waking up and being grumpy.

I prefer tea. Don't drink much coffee at all.

i am not a coffee person

It takes a while for the body to get started and then your fine

I don't think that has anything to do with the coffee intake, more how your own body wakes up.
