What's your choice on caffeine?

Plain old Folgers is our choice. I can drink any kind of coffee, as long as it it strong. The stuff we have at work sometimes tastes like used motor oil, I drink it anyway.

I get whatever half & half is on sale. For the last couple yrs, the caffine gets to me and not a good feeling unless you enjoy the shakes. If there isn't a good special, I buy one reg and one decaf and mix...
 
Normally my nurse sets up my IV, but when I'm at odds and have to do it myself, I particularly enjoy Kava Blue:

"Hand-grown and picked (with only their right hands) in the Nevado Sajama mountains of Bolivia by children who have dedicated their lives to the art and even LIVE on the 6.500-meter peak year-round, the beans are then carried down the mountain by blind albino mules to the processing facility, where the beans are then warmed on the thighs of Bolivian virgins aged 18-21, all while singing traditional folk songs. The beans are then conveyed by saddlebag-wearing chupacabra to the roasting plant, where the beans are individually roasted over a small fire using exotic hardwoods such as cocobolo and red mahogany.

Once roasted to perfection, the beans are then blessed by itinerant monks, re-warmed before packaging by the breath of yet more Bolivian virgins, then hand-carried 375 miles to the airport by relay teams of paraplegic runners. Upon arrival in the States, the beans are placed under the armed guard of a SEAL team and are conveyed via armored Humvee to their final destination."

LOL at your specs, Phil. My groc store provides sample cups and I fell in love with a particular Hawaiian flavor. I was going to buy it, but looking at the cost assumed Juan Valdez had flown in and hand picked it himself. Ridiculously priced, as are some of the others.

Lol, Don't worry about the infusion, my BIL the dr drinks more coffee than I though possible especially when he has a few night shifts in a row!

Seriously - between roomie and I we go through roughly SIX 12-cup pots a day, and of those I probably account for at least 4 of them.

I make my coffee weak, though - 6 heaping teaspoons of coffee for the entire pot.

Oh, the prices are insane!

Kopi Luwak, as immortalized in the film The Bucket List, is supposedly the world's most expensive coffee, "processed" by being ingested by wild civet cats who then defecate the beans after they have been "flavored" by the cat's digestive juices.

Kopi Luwak regularly goes for $300-$500/lb., but a designer edition at London's Harrod's department store, packed in a silver-and-24k-gold bag, goes for $10,000. :eek:

Thing is, it's a rip-off: in reality, the "wild" cats are actually domesticated and kept in cramped cages and horrible conditions, suffer greatly and usually die agonizing deaths.

I have never been a coffee drinker. I get my caffeine from Excedrin Extra Strength, a few times a day.

If I think I need a boost over top of that, I take my Excedrin with Mountain Dew. That worked really well on the Friday and Saturday nights there were road blocks set up 500 feet from the local roadhouse and one really didn't want to be drinking, unless they wanted a jail cell:bowknot:

Been doing that since I was in my late 20's and I still have a stomach.

I could use an Excedrin extra strength right now, I've never taken that...always Advil.
 
Just drink a mug of coffee in the morning. I've been buying Kona (my fav), and Organic Guatemalan and grinding the beans at the health food store. When I'm not buying the good stuff, I get what ever's on sale at the stores. :coffee:
