I'm not a coffee addict here. :D Actually, I'm not really into coffee. I am more of a shake person. lol. I just don't get it why some people are addicted to it that they tend to drink 5 to 8 or worst 10 cups of coffee each day? What's with the coffee? I mean, what is it in a coffee that you are addicted to? What does it feel when you drink 5 to 8 cups of coffee a day? What does it feel if you didn't drink any coffee for a day? I want to hear from you my fellow mylotters.

I am more of a tea person though, don't appreciate coffee much. Yeah, but certainly not addicted to it, would love to have a cup of tea in the morning but if there isn't then it's fine. You, know the funny thing I am actually addicted to eggs I always want to have egg for breakfast, without I don't feel like i have had a breakfast. In the morning egg is necessary for me, although throughout the rest of day it is fine without an egg. Coffee, hmmm, heard people have lots of it just to stay awake when they have some important business to take care about.

I do agree with you HB that tea is good enough. For me tea is pleasant to the stomach. I am inclined to believe that it helps digest food. It's likewise okay for voldrox; he can have it or not in the morning.

I am a coffee lover but i only have two to three cups of coffee everyday. I have different variants like Java Coffee and sometimes Machiatto or sometimes just plain black coffee. My day wouldn't be complete without a glass of coffee that is why I always drink a cup in the morning to start my day right.

Hi. Mariaperalta! I hope it's not true you're addicted to coffee. You've still a big chance to get yourself free of the habit. Learn to take in a variety of liquid such as milk, lemonade, tea, others. Don't drink just one kind year in year out. Don't allow yourself to be a slave to any beverage. It's they who should be the slave, not we. The correct attitude should be that it's okay whatever the beverage is available.

I am a one who is much addicted to coffee. On a day I just used to four a five glasses of coffee per day. Really I love having them more over it provide a good feel inside me and helps to do my works fine with good concentration. More over it is too tasty to drink.

Generally I drink tea and have been a tea lover,but it does not mean that I am addicted to tea.I can live without tea for days.I like coffee either,but since it is costlier than tea and I can't afford it,I drink coffee only on when I don't get tea.However I know a boy here who can't drink any brew other than coffee.He is the son of a millionaire and takes as many as twelve cups of coffee everyday.

Hi, I am not coffee addicted. I like to drink tea more. In our family I and my parents are all fond of tea. In winter and rainy days we drink tea many times. I like tea added with ginger. Sometimes we drink coffee after dinner. I like coffee but I prefer tea more. I am tea addicted.

Before i am so addicted to coffee , a black coffee with very small sugar. My day before starts with a coffee and ends with a coffee too. I drank like 6 to 8 glasses a day , until one day i experienced severe hyper acidity that opted me right there and then i stop drinking coffee . Coffee was so good when i have asthma , it was like a bronchodilator to me

I am a tea drinker and shake drinker but sometimes I also drink coffee but I am not addicted to it. Coffee has an aroma that I like. I like the smell of a hot coffee. Maybe the aroma of it is one of the reason that most people are craving for it.

I drink coffee when I need to ward off drowsiness. It really revs me up especially when I need to think on my toes. But I am not addicted to it like my dad.He drinks more than 3 cups of coffee a day.They say,caffeine is addictive and you'll get wide awake after drinking a cup or two but I think he's already immune to caffeine because he doesn't have any problem sleeping.

I belong to those person who are very addictive in coffee.Coffee contains caffeine that makes us alert and awake.I love coffee because it is creamy and smooth to the throat.A very delicious type of drink.I think it is the caffeine content of the coffee that makes us consume for almost 10 cups a day.

Well I'm not very much of a coffee addict. But I drink around 1-2 cups a day. And on a few occasion, I manage to drink three cups. Coffee is essential to me right now because of health reasons. And for me, the best time to drink coffee is in the morning

I am not addicted to the coffee, too. I don't often drink it as the coffee really works well for me. I am afraid I will be sleepless at night. So I dare not to drink it at night. A cup of instant coffee will be good enough for me.

I consider myself a coffee drinker but not addicted to it. I can pass a day without having a cup, but usually the minute I wakes up in the morning I'll have one to perks me up. Mostly I consume 3 cups a day and I prefers it rather than colas. Some says that drinking coffee helps in keeping us awake but it's the opposite for me, it's a sleep inducer to me most of the time.

I need only one coffee per day but as I say I need it I really mean it. Sometimes when I don't have enough time for my morning coffee I feel I have problems with my blood pressure. I am now pregnant so the first thing I checked was if coffee is allowed.

I am addicted to coffee. As is the case with any addiction, you don't start out being addicted, it happens gradually...a cup here, a cup there. One of my Great Aunts, who lived to be almost 100 years old (she passed away not long ago) is the one who got me addicted to coffee. Every day for years she drank coffee. One time our family was on a vacation, 3000 miles away from home, and when my aunt learned that no one in the vacation house owned a coffee pot, she went out and bought one immediately. The first thing that she use to buy when she went on trips (and she went on many) was coffee. She drank it black, never any cream or sugar, none of that. Even though I have been drinking coffee for years, I only recently started to drink it black. Drinking black coffee wakes me up, perks me up, gives me a lot of energy. I drink it all day long, all kinds of coffee. I like the taste of hot coffee. Drinking hot coffee with steam coming off the top when you are outside on a cold winter day is positively romantic. However, I also like iced-coffee drinks. Like I said, an addiction is something that tends to grow on you, in most cases it does not happen overnight. If YOU start drinking coffee in the morning, every morning, pretty soon you might discover that you too have gained a craving for it.

Hi faltex06, my brother-in-law is addicted to coffee, he can drink 5 to 6 cups of coffee a day but i told him to avoid drinking too much coffee because he might palpitate. I love coffee but i only drink 1 cup when i am in the mood.

I am not a coffee drinker at all! I have always been more into juices and water. However I do love hot chocolate! It's so warming and soothing to have a cup of hot chocolate and watch a great movie or read a book. Coffee just doesn't make it for me. I don't understand it when people say....."I just gotta have a cup of coffee!"
