Coffee is one thing I really don't like! I have tried it many times, different flavors, but I just can't drink it. None of my family can understand how its possible. So I live on water for energy!

Mmmm. Coffee. We brew up a pot of decaf every morning. So that's one or two cups right there. Sometimes I'll hit Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts for coffee during the day. Not an addict, but a fan. I like mine light and sweet ...

I used to drink 1-2 cups a day of strong brewed coffee but I stopped a few months ago cuz the combination of caffeine's effects and pregnancy irritability was really terrible...  ...
And it was giving me very bad headaches for some reason, too. Dunno why, I was always a coffee drinker before I became pregnant...
Now, I'll have some green tea a few times a week...calming, with just the right amount of caffeine...

Greenfire: You know espresso has a lot less caffeine than filter? Con leche is actually good because it contains some milk to make up for the calcium-sucking caffeine.
Coffee is one of my favorite topics. Never been able to kick it (kicked cigarettes before I got married...used to smoke on the roof of my seminary in Meah Shearim..shhh! don't tell anyone! (don't think the rabbi saw us) . By the time I made teshuvah, was down to one a day!)
Anyway, I drink Nescafe red label decaf..Strong black two sugars....three a day. In the morning, I put some instant real coffee in and now at night since I am weaning. It still doesn't quite amount to a full caffeinated cup a day.
I thought I was going to mad that everyone drinks instant here in Israel. Still fantasizing about getting my own beans, grinder and French Press...but that would look a little decadent in our neighborhood...
Thanks for starting this thread....

Yes I am a True Addict and I realized it during the 9 days when I weaned myself off caffeine so I could get thru Tisha B'Av without the excruciating cafeine-withdrawal headaches.
Just like an alcohol or drug addict, I thought about coffee all the time. I thought about how I needed it - how much I wanted it to perk me up - how I would have so much more energy if I had it.
Oy vey, I used to just have 2-3 cups a day, but I was truly addicted.
Of course I started back on coffee after the fast, but I'm trying to limit to only one cup in the am. Sometimes I'll have a decaf in the afternoon if I really want the coffee taste.
Not looking forward to weaning myself again after Rosh Hashana to get ready for Yom Kippur - especially since I'll just be going back to work then (in a school).

several things espresso is ground filtered coffee ... the leche balances out the strength ... shhh I'll keep your cigarette secret - which by the way yes coffee and cigarettes are pretty addictive ... and about that french press ... I use one and I also use it as a milk frother - decadent or not you deserve one ...

I have my own espresso machine and have a morning latte daily. I really miss it on Shabbos. Any suggestions? So far the instants just don't cut it.

Cafe con leche for me. Usually just 1 a day. I heat up a pot of milk every morning. Everyone tells me I make the best coffee. I think if anyone makes coffee with hot milk it's the best!

I rarely drink coffee. When I do, it makes me too jittery. I'd rather be tired!
