Do you drink it?

Yes

When did you start drinking it regularly?

around age 20 or 21

Are you totally dependent on it?

Yes, around age 25 it went from "I need a cup in the morning" to "I need 4 or 5 cups throughout the day". If I can't get my 3 PM and 6PM coffee, I become a miserable bastard.

How do you take it?

Black.


Do you drink decaf?

Yes, nearly every night. Always with dinner dessert, because it is delicious.

Preferred brand?

Community with chicory

Best cup of coffee you ever had?

An Algerian cafe in Chicago. Cafe Du Monde in New Orleans is a close second. That first time with chicory changed my life.

Preferred method of delivery (ie Mr Coffee pot, Keurig, coffee shop)?

I use my Keurig every morning and evening. We got one at work too, finally. Coffee shops are great, for meeting a friend and talking. Not for getting my fix.





Feel free to add.

I drink a small dr pepper every morning on my way to work. Always wakes me up and makes me feel better than a cup of coffee does.

I have a regular Mr. Coffee type machine and a Keurig. I like both, usually Keurig during the week and other one on the weekend.

Some desserts were made to be had with coffee. If my wife wants to split a tiramisu at 10pm after dinner, I'm having coffee with it. However I also would like to be able to sleep. In this regard, decaf is a godsend.

Coffee bad - addictive, unhealthy

Tea good - non addictive, healthy

Easy choice.

I'd rather eat glue than drink tea without sugar.

At the moment, Keurig. I don't usually drink more than a mug and like to switch up flavors/brews quite a bit.

What decaf K-cups do you prefer?

I'll add raw honey if I need to add something sweet. Sugar is death.

I add some lemon or lime to a lot of my teas, and not just for taste, it helps make the tea more effective.

I use Community decaf from the bag. You can get a special little cup that let's you use grounds in your Keurig. I rarely use K-Cups.

Just brew it with some stevia leaves. It's a readily available natural sweetener you can grow in home.

Don't care. Used to work in a Starbuck's though, so if I'm at one of those it's cool to reminisce.

I drink it.

Don't need it.

Can't sleep if I have it after dinner.

I use whatever beans I decide to buy from the local co-op or roastery.

I grind fresh and use a press pot.

I drink it black or sometimes with a little whole milk. Never sugar.

Do you drink it?

Yes

When did you start drinking it regularly?

I go through phases. When I worked in an office I would use and abuse the coffee machine on our hall. Now I just drink it whenever I'm tired but need to stay up, or if I just feel like having on.

Are you totally dependent on it?

No

How do you take it?

Black, or with milk/cream and sugar. It just depends on the mood.

Do you drink decaf?

Yes, some nights I just want a cup but it's too late for regular.

Preferred brand?

I don't really know if I have one. I have a bunch of donut shop K cups and Starbucks Cafe Verona and Sumatra K cups as well.

Best cup of coffee you ever had?

I can't recall a particular instance, but I was really into this drink from starbucks for a while. It was a latte with an extra shot and a pump of pumpkin spice syrup and a pump of cinnamon dulce syrup.

Preferred method of delivery (ie Mr Coffee pot, Keurig, coffee shop)?

I like my Keurig, but will use whatever if it's not available.





After filling out this survey, I think I'm gonna make a cup of decaf.
