One cup of Lousiane Tea is fine for me but my wife, Hariett, has to have a whole pot of Folgers Coffee. It makes her talk faster. Since she is from South Carolina, with that slow drawl, her coffee is a real time saver.

Are you implying that people ACTUALLY wake up!?

Coffee is the drug of choice for me in the morning, but the rest of the day I go between Black-Black gum, Warp mints, Bawls, chocolate covered espresso beans, Buzzwater, Shower Shock caffeine soap, and many other assorted caffiene products.

thinkgeek.com is fun. No, I don't have anything to do with them other than buy their toys.

Always tea at home, coffee at work.
Strangely, the coffee at work is much worse than what I can make at home, whereas brewing some good tea here would be easy. What am I thinking?

Yes, but it was funny, even here. And humor is an impotant part of playing the tuba. :wink:

Coffee. Usually two cups a day, and rarely anything past noon. Spent many years in Europe, so I'm kinda fussy about my java.

While driving long distances, one of those energy drinks works well. Otherwise, I have trouble until my second driving wind kicks in.

Most definitly a coffee fan. Usually drink diet coke through those hot summer days, but always start with a nice hot cup of java to get moving.

One cup (two at most) of coffee in the morning. The darkest nastiest French roast I can find--something that jumps out of the cup and says "Howdy!".

COFFEE

I have a ceramic mug at work that holds 30 fl.oz. It has Donald Duck with an old enamel coffee pot and one drop falling into an empty cup. "Cranky to the Last Drop!"

Plastic/insulated mugs are for wimps, and if you can't drink 30 oz before it gets cold you don't need coffee.
