It's weird to look back and see how my coffee drinking has changed over the years. I started drinking coffee in high school as I had to get up at 5:30 am to catch the bus (and walk in the snow both ways). (For those in the Houston area, I was zoned to Sharpstown and under no circumstances would my parents allow me to go there, so both my sister and I were enrolled in the magnet program at Lamar, completely across the city.)

In college my coffee drinking got out of hand. Way out of hand. First, I spent a lot of time as an English, History, or Philosophy major....and, as such, became a complete and utter coffee snob. We are talking about spending my student loan money on $30/lb Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee....french presses, you name it. Looking back, it truly was embarrassing.

That stuff wore off in grad school and later life and I bounced around the Folger's and Maxwell House drip coffee for decades.

I generally drink 2-3 mugs of coffee a day. About four years ago I noticed I started getting really irritable around 11 am or so. I guess as I was getting older, the caffeine was just getting to me, so I switched to half-caf/half-decaf. My local HEB carries a decent blend under their store brand, so that is what I drink now. In fact, I am drinking it right now.

Now this round of experts are saying that coffee is good for your heart, countering the previous experts that said coffee was bad for you. Can't wait for the information from the next round of experts in a couple of years. Where are we on chocolate health now?

My morning cup of coffee is so Brew-tiful.

[RiverJeff]

In the morning I really like to put just maybe a shot or 2 of a good Italian blend with my morning Crown!

[Santamarina]

I knew I was on to something when a made a cup of coffee this morning!

Of course, I make coffee every morning. Let the celebrations continue!

As far as the experts go, don't listen to em much anymore. Coffee has been around fer just awhile. A gallon of the stuff might not be good fer ya and if ya have a disagreement with the cup of Joe mebbee its a differnt problem.
Meself I usually have a cup or two than switch over to tea the rest of the day. Here's to ya!!!

Cheers as I sip mine...
