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!

Interesting -- I know of one mother who swears by a cup (ONE cup) of espresso/cappuccino every morning for her ADHD son. No ritalin, no other pills. Just one cup of strong coffee every morning seems to make a world of difference...

Mind you, anecdotal evidence is not equivalent to a scientific study, but it does make me wonder...

It's the same principle.

Most ADD/ADHD meds are stimulants. So's caffeine.

My mom's a therapist, and a former foster care worker. She had at least two foster parents who gave several of their kids soda when they got home from school, to get them through home work as their meds wore off. They swear it's the best thing they'd ever done.
