Any coffee addicts out there?

We are hard core coffee addicts in our house. I always thought the best coffee in the world was Jamaican Blue Mountain (but, it is waaaaay too expensive)...... I found some called Uganda Bugisu Special...... Since we live out in the boonies, we have no where to buy coffee beans locally.....so I always order online, and you can find a pretty good selection. Has anyone else ever heard of this kind of coffee?
What kind of coffee do ya'll drink? Since the neuro told me to quit coffee....I'm kind of obssessing here.  
PFDAN,
Tracey

Why would the neuro tell you to quit coffee. Do you also get Migraines?

Obsess away dear friend...as long as you ain't drinking that coffee that the beans are pulled from monkey.....poo. You know the one I mean. Right here in good 'ole Tennessee I have become attached to a local brand, nothing fancy, but real good....JFG.
I handle at least two pots a day...sometimes more. Left over from being an OTR truck driver for so many years I guess.

Gotta have my coffee. Dr keeps barking at me for drinking as much as I do. She would be shocked if I told her exactly how much I drink.

LMFAO good one Don! ;D
No, I don't have migraines. Told me to lay off caffine, aspertame, my hormones, cigarettes, and alcohol.......figured he was going to tell me sex and food next. Then he has the balls to prescribe me cafergot (only 100mg of caffine in that).
Cootie.....after my coffee in the morning, I move on to Pepsi One's.....then to iced tea. Gee....maybe I do have a caffine thing going on here!!!! LOL Guess I'll have to stick with wine.....no caffine there.
Mark....I'll have to try that Just Fucking Good coffee.

Roxy, can we talk? LOL
Coffee addict, lessee, hubby has a grinder, a bunn coffee maker and wants to order the beans online GREEN and roast them himself for the freshest possible coffee you can get. The best method for roasting coffee beans btw, is an adapted hot air popcorn popper.
Now that's an addict.
Personally I was and am perfectly content and wonderfully in love with Tim HOrton's coffee, but I have to admit his fresh ground coffee is good.

Sounds typical. "don't drink coffee, thats a trigger, but here is a pill that condences, oh I don't know, 35 cups of coffee into one pill"
Sort of like "don't drink mixed drinks you'll trigger a CH but here suck down this half pint of Vodka"
So what is in the coffee that is the trigger? Or maybe it's the styrofoam cup it's in.

When I was first diagnosed 20yrs ago, the doctor told me to quit:
- caffeine
- cigs
- drinking
- milk
- seafood
- spicy food
- fried food
Felt like I was down to a diet of water and gravel. Mmmm, Mmmm good.
Glad they know a little more about these damn things

Hey Roxy..
Next time that you are in one of those big TX Cities, stop by an IKEA store - They sell Swedish coffee. I buy all my coffee at IKEA and if you are not addicted to coffee before you try this kind, you will be for sure..
Now if my Neuro had the guts to tell me to quit coffee, cigarettes (and the occasional beer ;D).. Naawww.. he would not even consider that!!  The argument of coffee causing re-bound headaches.. if it helps me get rid of an attack - I have no problem with a re-bound headache.. What is that anyway? like a tension thing that you take two Advil for..
And the Swedish coffee can be ordered on line to by typing in Gevalia or Lofbergs on your search engine.
And by the way (in case Svenn is reading this), there is no Norwegian coffee ;D

When the neuro told me all that bs......I just smiled and nodded like a good girl. My husband started to sweat when he said give up the hormones.....and then whispered, "You're not really gonna do that are you?"
Cat.....sounds like our house. We have the Capresso machine that grinds your beans, and then swings the filter around for you. Just tell me that the hotel rooms for the convention have a coffe pot in them....or room service!!!!! LOL My husband tried the roasting the beans.....told him he was just being a pain in the ass.
Marty....I'm headed out the door now. For once, I'm in a BIG city.
Grant...I don't think I would have been smiling if he'd told me spicy or seafood. I would probably have hit him.

I drink about 2 pots of coffee a day, every day. Any brand will do, black and no sweetner or any of that other sissy stuff.
Except, I DO NOT drink anything served at Starbucks. It all tastes like burnt skunk piss.

My wife and I are coffee addicts. (Is there a forum for that?). We abuse about 1.5 to 2 lbs per week. We make it strong. This only makes about 10 pots. We like:
http://www.peets.com
They also take orders online but here we have 3 stores in town. Much better than Starbuck's.
I recommend Mocha Java, Sulawesi Kalossi, French Roast and Kenya.

Speaks for itself
http://tinyurl.com/54h6
Just North of the big JFG sign is an area of town called The Old City. http://www.raw-footage.com/OC/Old%20City.html Its an old "Brownfield" area that has become the trendy place to be....yuppie central. JFG roasts the beans in a huge old brick buliding....you can smell it for miles. In the basement is the Coffee Shop where you can drink fresh roast, fresh ground coffee, while you smell the beans roasting........nirvana!

CHOC FULLA NUTS. It's good. Suddenly I am quavering.....lookin at my ole faithful 3.39 a can choc and now humbly considering dumping ole choc for JFG? ??? Do they have that in Walbaums? GrrrrrrrINDING GREeeeeeen BEANS? What will the difference be? Will I suddenly catapult out of my top window in some sort of wild happy happy not previously experienced by non JFG users? ;D Ya know, every time I see that commercial for the free coffee pot for ordering Geva-(sumpin) coffee, I crack up. Okay, when in Puerto Rico, ya pour this much through a cloth and speed yur freakin brains out for days........(But, they have that in Walbaums TOO!)............
Okay. I'm done. by the way, i jes drank 3 cups a choc fullanuts in case you were wonderin where this was goin.

I live in Seattle, home of the mermaid-pee - I drink an occasional cup there (maybe it tatstes better closer to the corporate HQ?).
The Neuro didn't metion coffee as something to stay away from - she prolly has 'bucks stock...
Cafe Vita. Very good stuff.
Watery coffee makes me pee too much - need hard stuff. Double Americano in the morning & mid-morning, and office coffee as filler (3-5 cups), Espresso after lunch, about 5 cups of the filler in the PM before I fight traffic to go home, and an espresso before bedtime. Addicted? Hell no.
...except the early morning Americano is very important to me
I also chew a lot of gum, too - seems to help keep the mind off of the fear of the next visit by the demon, and keeps my teeth clean, too!

I agree......Starbucks bites. Choc fulla nuts is pretty good.
But guys.....I can't believe you wake up in the middle of the night craving caffine. You need to retrain yourselves......when you wake up....go for the s e x. It's more fun than making a damn pot of coffee!!
