Coffee Addicts Thread

[MagicNinja]

i used to drink a french press every morning (2 large cups). now i drink one every morning & afternoon.

i usually drink coffee because a) i love it, and b) i like to feel a bit 'high', like i had done a line or something; obviously coffee doesn't come close, but I have an abusive mind...

I always drink americano, I drink the stuff called 'columbian (or jamaican) dark roast', they grind the beans at the farmers market i go to; i usually buy about half a kilo of the dark roast, and about 1/4 of a kilo of irish cream or french vanilla coffee (these are good for a change now and then).

Probably drink this once a week, only negative side effects are a) i have become dependent on feeling good in the morning (eg i used to just wake up and be like 'sigh' for an hour, now i feel good as soon as coffee kicks in), and if i drink it at like 8 pm i can't sleep.

Semiunlrelated question, but someone can probably assist me:

Why does drinking 4shotespresso drinks make my pee smell so bad after ?

Google "coffee urine odor" and you will find links.

Other foods can cause urine odor. Some people discovered that eating asparagus makes ones urine smell like rotten eggs.

All the coffee gadgets and such are nice, but i need to know how many cups a day are you people drinking and when does it become unhealthy.

In my case the Aeropress gadget is helping me cut down. Instead of brewing a ten cup pot and having five cups that morning and five stale cups the next day I can stick to about three fresh and very good cups every morning.

If I don't have coffee I do get headaches late in the day; it's some sort of withdrawel symptom.

Where do the addicts dispose of coffee grinds?

With the Aeropress they come out of the machine in the shape of a pressed wafer. I let them dry a bit then put them in a Tupperware container in the freezer and eat them the next day for an inexpensive crispy, tasty, high-energy snack.

Good for me, good for the environment.
