Godlessness and coffee

[sarahmichigan]

I've got a "Why I'm an atheist" post percolating, especially after some discussion with dionysus1999 yesterday, but it's not quite ready for posting.

So, in the meantime, do you like coffee? Why or why not?
How do you like it? Black? With cream or sugar?
Do you like it prepared a certain way, say on the stove in and old-fashioned percolator, or in a french press? What makes this method superior?
Do you have a favorite "froofy" drink when you go out to a coffee shop?
Which coffee shops make the best coffee and which are over-rated?
Have you tried to cut down on caffeine, and how successful were you?
Did you used to dislike coffee but acquired a taste for it?
What do you think about flavored coffees?

Tell me your thoughts on java, please!

I've cut back to one caffeinated beverage first thing in the morning, and never anything after about 4 or 5 p.m. unless I want to be up late.

It's good that cutting it out is making you feel better. I've gone through periods where I cut it out altogether, but I never felt it made a huge difference one way or the other, with the exception of having it too close to bedtime.

I just feel good knowing that I'm not putting any caffeine in my system. I'm not relying on it, which is very positive for me.

I cut out caffeine I guess sometime in 2005, not last year. Because I think I'm feeling better because of exercising, not the caffeine, although it's certainly a factor.

I avoid caffeine after 5pm also. It effectively prevents sleep.
