[QUOTE="donna723, post: 12881, member: 1883"] I guess you can add me to the list of caffeine addicts. I'm a coffee "purist". None of the fancy flavored stuff for me either, just plain ol' Folgers "Special Roast". It's getting harder to find but it smells so good, people at work will come in my office when it's perking to ask me what brand it is! I use real sugar and milk in it at home, creamer and sweetener at work (can't have "real" sugar in a prison ... if the inmates get it, they mix it with fruit juice and make booze out of it!) I have two little 4-cup Mr. Coffees, just alike, one at home and one at work. I get it ready the night before so all I have to do in the morning is push the button as I staggger through the kitchen. What's left when I leave in the morning is poured into an insulated mug and I take it with me for the drive to work. When I get to work, I push the button on the coffee pot (set that up the night before too) so I don't slip into caffeine deprivation before it's done. With just me drinking it, if I make a BIG pot, it's getting strong and nasty by the time I get to the second half, so I make two smaller ones so it's always fresh. And this may sound stingy, but when I had a big coffee pot in my office, people thought it was a "communal" pot and came in and helped themselves. I can't AFFORD to keep dozens of people in coffee, so the small pot makes it clear that it's my "private stock". [img]:smile:[/img] When I finish the second pot I switch to water for the rest of the afternoon. Then when I get home, I allow myself ONE big glass of some kind of caffeinated soft drink, usually Dr. Pepper, then switch to water again about dinner time. If I don't have this extra caffeine when I come home from work, I "crash" way too soon at night. My name is Donna, and I guess I'm an addict too! [/QUOTE]
