Morning coffee routine

  • Belly35
    Wake the hell up

    Sometime between 4:30 and 5:00 the two dogs wake me up… not the wife just me.
    We head down stairs, throw the kitchen where I start the Keurig for my first cup, to the family room back door and let the dogs out for their morning piss (sometimes I join them, refreshing I have to say). Back into the house to the mud room get their food and feed the dogs. Pick up my coffee three options, 1. to the patio w/ Ipad 2. to the family room w/Ipad or 3. to the back breakfast room. w/Ipad. Those are the area where I come up with my many outstanding threads.
    Once the wife wakes up I have my second cup of coffee and our morning conversation.

    Two cups per day ….

    A good cup of aeropress coffee at home and then a cup or two of shitty drip coffee at work if I need it.
  • GoChiefs
    Drink a thermos of coffee around 5 am so I'm not tired when I get home from work and don't fall right to sleep.

    ...stop at Speedway for a 24oz coffee on the way to work.

    I used to be a 3-4 cup a day person, but I've cut back a lot.

    Depends on the time of year. I rarely drink hot coffee when it's hot. Right now a large iced coffee 3-4 times a week. Sometimes a cold brew if I feel like being cracked out or go for a shitty K-cup at work if I feel like slumming it. French press at home.

    No caffeine for me. Makes me jittery and tense.

    Two or three mugs of black coffee from Keurig every day without iPad.

    Always coffee. Lots of cream. Lots of sugar. Occasionally an evening cup as well especially in the winter.

    Same.

    Usually 2 cups in the morning before work( 50-50 mix of Starbucks esspresso and Decaf Cafe Verona), and another mid morning. After noon I switch to decaf....maybe 1 or 2 cups....just a touch of creamer or milk. Iced coffee if it's hot outside.

    As Belly said, nothing wrong with coffee and it's high in anti-oxidants....just got to be careful with the caffiene. So much better than soda.... Anybody drinking that 3 or 4 times a day, I feel sorry for you.

    I'm 1-2 cups before my 8 am meeting every week day. I'm caffeine free on the weekends (which includes me not having a soda in like 3 weeks, and those who know me know i'm a big fat slob who loves to do the Dew).

    has anyone every had cold brew coffee? i ask because they say its not as bitter which i think would be nice.

    2nd question, anyone have a good k-cup (2.0 compatible) they like? All we have at the office is rio blend which tastes like burnt dick.

    I drink coffee pretty much all day. Lots of cream and sugar

    A cup of coffee when I wake up around 6:30. Let out the biggest of our dogs (sleeps separately from the rest), feed him, and give him his medication. Sometimes, I'll check messages. But like Belly, I will also take a leak outside with the dogs.

    I haven't seen any really good 2.0 K cups yet, so I haven't even bought the machine. I like bold roasts, and the selection isn't really greast for those in 2.0.

    I live on caffeine. WAY too much of it. 2-3 cups of coffee in the morning. Usually another 300-500 mg of caffeine throughout the day in teh form of: Diet Dew, Pepsi Max, zero calorie energy drinks, more coffee, iced tea, etc.

    At least one or two pots a day. I only drink beer, water/gatorade and coffee.

    Usually wake up around 7 or so to let the dog out. Come back inside and lay in bed with the wife and dog for another hour or so. Wake up, and make k-cups for the wife and myself...sugar and whatever type of flavored creamer she bought that week in both. I'll drink it when I fire up the laptop in my office to start work. Then I'll usually have another one around 3pm.

    How old of coffee do you drink? Would you make a pot of coffee later one afternoon, only drink half and then finish it the following morning?

    I use a closed top pot coffee maker, which I believe helps keep the coffee fresh and warmer longer.
  • Belly35
    The older Mr.Coffee drip type coffee maker, I would make a pot ,drink two cups and reheat on the stove the remained the next morning ...
