I'm a Disabled Veteran and live alone, and, today I was at a Restaurant and had a cup of Decaff Coffee and it was very tasty. Surely they may use a tasty type of Coffee, but, I'm thinking they just use the right amount.

When I make a Pot of Coffee, I only use 5 "heaping" Tablespoons of Coffee for a 12 cup pot. My Coffee just isn't that tasty. It's rather bland and seems weak.

I use either Hills Bros. or, Folgers "Regular or French Roast". How much should I use to make a Tasty Pot so each cup has a definitive Coffee taste?

What kind of Coffee would you use? I don't like the Coffee's like Hazelnut or Vanilla tastes, and I don't buy or have Cappuccino except once in a great while,......usually seasonaly.

Ladies or anyone that likes a good tasty cup of Coffee ......how much should I use in a standard 12 cup drip maker??

Thanks!

I can't eat when I first wake up or it goes through me. Sometimes even the coffee makes me run to the bathroom. If I drink a cup of coffee does that start my metabolism up like if I ate breakfast? Is that the only reason I should eat breakfast?

So, I met her at the hospital…?

Please, allow me a moment of your guys' time. I need some advice, and please, feel free to criticize me as well, I am prepared for it. :p I'm gonna make this as short as possible.

Almost a week ago now, I took my grandfather down to the hospital. We were sitting in the room for a while and I needed a cup of coffee. So I proceeded to walk out of the room and up to the nurse in order to acquire about my caffeine fix. She smiled, got up and began to walk with me. She offered drip coffee, or the cappuccino machine, I chose the machine. As we were walking, it seemed that we began to form an instant rapport. Either that, or she's just kind to everyone, after all, it is her profession, I understand. Anyways, the machine turned out to be broke, in return, she offered to make me some coffee. This struck me as being very nice, I mean, she obviously didn't have to do this. So I go back to my grandfathers room, and a few minutes later, she brings in my coffee, with cream sugar etc. And I thought to myself, holy shit, this girl is an absolute sweetheart. She didn't have to do any of this, but she did, and that meant a lot to me. A few more minutes pass by, and they take my grandfather into another room to run some test. So I go back out to the lobby and ask for the TV remote. She comes back in to help me look for it... And than asked me if I'm doing okay. It just seemed very personal how she acquired about the current state of my feelings, I was impressed with her qualities as a human, lol, seriously tho, I was. A little while later, I sneak outside for a cigarette, FAR away from the building, in a dumpy ass neighborhood mind you. I'm standing there, looking at the stars, thinking to myself and whatnot.. And I say, damn God, is there anyway you could arrange it so that MAYBE I could, I don't know, ask her out, give her my number, something? Literally, I turn around to walk back towards the hospital, and there she is, obviously making her way home (on the phone as well). She stops, we briefly speak about the condition of my grandfather, and then go our separate ways.

Fast forward to today...

I decided to call the emergency unit of this particular hospital, where she works, and ask her personally if she had any info regarding the status of my grandfathers follow up appointment. As soon as I got somebody on the phone to be transfered to her, I fucking lost my nerve and hung up! Obviously, I'm concerned for my grandfather, but that's really only half the reason I called. I guess I just wanted to keep me in her mind, when and If I was able to run into her again. The thing is... I was just impressed by her as a person, it's not everyday you meet someone with these kinda qualities. And I guess I was just hoping to know her, on some level, that's all. However, I'm obviously nervous and clearly afraid of rejection. So my question for you guys, and especially GIRLS, is this... Is this something a person should just let go? Do I have nothing to go on here? As a woman, would y'all be freaked out if you were in her position? Jeez, I don't even know... but I told myself today, if I can't find the balls to at least call a girl, than how am I going to have the balls to accomplish great things with my life.

Thoughts?

Shoot me straight and be harsh, I can take it, I think, lol..
Damn Lawrence, that was deep. I almost teared up.

Coffee from Espresso machine?

This is probably a dumb question, but can you make a regular cup of coffee with an espresso machine? I never drink coffee, but my mother is a coffee addict and drinks all sorts of coffee drinks; lattes, cappuccinos, espressos and regular ol' cups o' joe. I want to get her a nice espresso machine for Christmas but I want to make sure it can also make regular cups of coffee. Do espresso machines do this? Thanks a lot everyone. Also if you have any suggestions about fairly inexpensive machines (approximately 0 max) that is also appreciated. :)

When I have a cup of coffee in the morning to wake up I get a pain in my lower right chest, around the kidney area. Sometimes I really need it to wake up but it is kinda annoying, It's not a big pain just a small sharpish one, kinda hard to describe.
Kidney area, not chest. Just below the right rib cage.

Some supplements specify on an empty stomach so I take them first thing in the morning. I then have a cup of coffee with minimal amount of half and half. Am I affecting the efficacy of my supplements?

Poll: Do you drink coffee every morning?

Looking for a trend among coffee drinkers. Here are the questions:

1. Do you drink at least one cup of coffee every morning?
2. What is your height?
3. What is your weight?

Thanks!!!

I'll start out.

1. No
2. 5' 8"
3. 202
Thanks so much for all of your input! So far, here are the results:

All the yes answers (with the exception of one) had BMIs of 22 (mid normal) to 31 (low obese). Most fell under "overweight".

All the "no" answers (with the exception of one) had BMIs of 18.5 (underweight) to 22 (mid normal) OR 31 (low obese) to 36 (obese).

This indeed shows a trend that habitual coffee drinkers tend to fall near or in the "overweight" category; while non-coffee drinkers are either quite thin or, on the opposite end of the spectrum, quite heavy.

I totally wasn't expecting these results. Thanks to all who answered. This wasn't a study or anything; just a survey to satisfy my curiosity. Thank you!

I want to run in the morning before breakfast to burn more fat, would it be ok to drink a cup of coffee before I run? And what kind should I drink exactly? Also does plain black coffee have any sugar in it?

is it bad to drink coffee before alcohol?

A few friends and I are going out around 2:00 am tonight which is roughly 3 hours from now, to have a few drinks. I'm tired so I want to have a cup of coffee to wake me up, would it be bad to drink after having the coffee (caffine) in my system?

At what age is it OK to drink coffee?

I'm 13. I LOVE COFFEE!!! I could drink 4-5 cups a day of it (of course I don't). But my mom keeps saying that coffee is unhealthy and that I shouldn't be drinking it until I'm 15, 16, 17. Could somebody maybe say whether it is acceptable or not to have a cup of coffee once a day or two at the age of 13? I don't see any harm in it since people start drinking Coke at 4 or 5 years old and nobody every says that's bad!
What about decaf?
