- I used to hate Starbucks. Still kinda do. It's just convenient.TheBlueOne
- Yeah I know. It adds up. But whenever I try and brew it at work, I never clean the machine or the mug..TheBlueOne
- not sure about NYC, but once you buy a cup here in CO a refill is only 50 cents.designbot

^Yeah I ditched the sugar a few years ago. Either black or with a bit of cream. I think if you are dumping tons of shitty (refined) sugar in every cup, you should limit your intake.

Ha, a year ago my response would have been very different...
I gave up coffee on New Years Day this year. Pretty much gave up caffeine altogether. Just stone cold quit. One of the best things I've ever done.
I was drinking 3-4 cups a morning between home and work. I would fall off a cliff in the afternoon, just dead tired. I didn't sleep well at all, was pretty anxious all the time, stressed out, the whole nine yards.
It's been over 8 months now. I basically gave up coffee, and started taking a strong multivitamin twice a day, along with wheat grass pills. Iv'e got so much more natural energy now. I'm usually tired from staying up too late, but it's consistent all day. I don't have those crashes in the afternoon. I drink decaf every now and then when I need the taste, and I'm totally satisfied with that.
I really think I will never go back. I crave it constantly, but I can't believe I've been this successful with giving it up. I highly suggest giving it a try if it's your ball and chain.

Actually, i feel bad. I think I got a trainee fired form Starbucks last week. I went in, ordered my usual coffee, the new guy behind the counter handed me my change, and I walked out. Once out the door I realized I had not in fact paid for my coffee and the guy had given me change from a $20. Now, I should have walked back in I suppose and corrected this error, but then I realized I could just use the $17 odd dollars to buy coffee for the rest of the week.
I never saw the new guy in there again after that though. I wonder if that did him in.
- gramme will think ill of me.TheBlueOne
- not really your fault.baseline_shift
- yeah, I justify it the same way to myself.TheBlueOne
- the coffee must've tasted really good that dayMilan
- No one would get fired for $17.... If you were the hundredth guy he did it to, yeah.neferiu
- you probably never saw him again because he got a proper job somewhere else...rupedixon

This all makes me feel better.
I thought I was on the absurd level at 1-1.5 pots a day.
(it'll never be my ball and chain, I can get it anywhere and it is legal and encouraged :-) )

I feel better to. =P
Granted it is a lot. My day starts around 5:30 AM, so I get a nice swift kick pounding two "Good Morning" cups. I just cruise from there on.

Whatever it takes to get me through the day. It varies based on how boring the project(s) I'm working on are. Usually about 3 cups a day.

2 americanos, half full, per day.

fuck coffee. just pop an excedrin. 2-3 cups' worth of caffeine in one go without the tooth stains, bad breath, and peeing every 30 seconds
- About 2 excedrin = 8oz of coffee.Jugarelly
- ha wow! common practice for you?baseline_shift

Suggestions for energy?
I don't drink coffee, but I could use something. Exercise and water, I'm aware of. Anything else?

1 in the morning and that's that. If really hung over i'll make it a double. This way it actually works in the morning on top of tasting nice
