Is coffee essential for you in the morning?

Every morning when I wake up one thing comes to my mind that makes the burden of waking up early in the morning easier:the thought of a nice,strong cup of coffee.In fact,only when I have my morning cup of coffee I feel that life is not that bad after all.However,I suppose there are many people who can start their working day in a good mood without necessarily having coffee,so I wonder if you feel the same way that I do in the morning and,in case you don't consume coffee at all,do you use anything else instead?

Hey Polaris,
You are lucky to have coffee in the morning. But I can't have my coffee because I have some health problems.Enjoy your coffee.

I never drink coffee, and i really think it's bad to have a cup everyday in the morning, especially when it contains caffeine. It's just a personal choice, as I usually feel terrible the following day if I've had caffeine. I just make sure I'm warm enough - heating on, wear extra layers, had a good sleep the night before, and generally a healthy lifestyle - plus waking up at relatively the same time everyday really helps... :)

A morning without a coffee - it's not a morning.
If you would want to take away my joy of living then there is a very simple way how to do it - just forbid me to drink coffee. It helps me to start my day, and maintains a cheerfulness while I am working.
Yes, you can call it an addiction. I am addicted to coffee.

Coffee is my life. My morning is not complete without having a cup of hot coffee.

It depends on the activities before and during a day - when I feel really sleepy, I drink coffee. But the times I do really need it are those when I must study or focus on a work late at night.

I occasionally drink coffee. Although I do not every morning. I am not a big coffee drinker. Days that I have more to do I usually drink at least one cup of coffee. For example the days that I clean a lot, which are usually on Mondays and I consider them my "cleaning days" I will drink a cup or two. I have to have a lot of cream and a little bit sugar but I am starting to try new flavors and have found a few new flavors that I enjoy. So I guess to answer your question...Coffee is not essential to me in the morning.

It's essential for me in the early morning, the late morning, lunchtime, mid-afternoon, early evening. . .I think it makes the whole day better!

Coffee is essential to me at all times of day and night. It's very likely bad for my health, but I can't give it up. I've already given up smoking and unhealthy foods - That should be enough to keep me alive for a few more years.....
