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 hate coffee. Credit (or blame) probably goes to my grandfather. I remember asking him for a piece of candy and he gave me one. Expecting to taste a hard candy root beer, I gagged on a damned piece of coffee candy! Blech!

I even hate the smell of it. Although, it may be the cheap American crap.

As for caffeine, I haven't had any intentionally since August 2002 (except for what's in chocolate).

One of the things that bugs me about offices is how you can get all the coffee you want, but if you don't drink that, you're stuck with water, except for those few places that also offer tea. But, even that isn't necessarily caffeine free.

Instead of coffee, I'd take hot chocolate. But, that gets expensive and isn't always an option.

My office is pretty nice about providing hot chocolate and tea (though it's usually caffeinated tea) for the non-coffee drinkers. But I know not all offices are that way.
