Those great 1.50 coffee+donut carts in NYC: if you order a coffee regular, you'll get cream but no sugar and I love the kruller....

re:coffee good or evil

According to me, coffee is not a bad thing. But once you started taking it you become used to of taking it. As such coffee gives no benefits to you but it just make you alert after a hectic or anything. you feel more energetic that's all what coffee provides you but if you replace coffee with the green tea then its very beneficial. It provides you far more then the coffee provides you.

From here:

Fluoride is toxic in very large quantities and can cause gastrointestinal symptoms and sometimes even death. But you'd have to ingest about 20,000 times more fluoride than what's in an 8-ounce glass of fluoridated water to see such an effect.

I don't care if coffee is good, bad, or ugly...I like coffee. I like the way it tastes and I like the energy kick....most of all I like how it tastes.

Welcome to the Cellar, neowinharry.
Are you a green tea salesman?

Coffee is warm and comforting. I could drink regular black tea/or chi tea with cream and sugar for the same reasons. I do not like green tea for the fact it seems to make me sick....esp if it is added in a supplement. I read labels to make sure it isn't in there. Oh and I
don't like caffeine in my supplements either. I'd rather drink a cola.

I usually drink herbal teas with honey when I have a cold. Lemon grass is a great add in taste I think.

Third Person drinks entirely too much coffee. He wonders how much money he spends at Dunkin Donuts each month. Third Person, sadly, counts the Dunkin Donuts guy among his friends.

I second that. Coffee is the ambrosia of the gods.

It's especially good with a dash of spiced chai, or if it's black creme brulee with a squirt of apple syrup (it may sound icky, but it actually tastes like a caramel apple...don't get me wrong, though...I love coffee-flavored coffee just as much. With lots of sugar and powdered cow).

We've moved to Florida (it sucks...one big ant hill/high school USA). I work as a barista now, so I've gotten to try coffees from all over the world. I have to say, though, Jamaican Blue Mountain, which is $40/lb, didn't impress me. Haitian Bleu is excellent, though. I can even drink it black, which I normally can't do. It's very smooth. Cool Cafe Blues and Creme Brulee are nice and caramel-y.

Of course, I'll settle for Folger's Instant if necessary.

Maxwell House is crap, though. I'd rather drink tea than drink Maxwell House. Nasty, nasty, p-tooey! Bleech!
