I like mine black. Apparently, that's a bad sign.

    I like my coffee in someone else's cup - like the smell but don't drink the stuff. Does that make me mental?

          Right? LOL. I like the dark roasts and I like them black. I do not deny a little bit of psychopathy. Really not sure how that is associated with my taste buds, though. If I want a cup of coffee, though, and you interfere with me getting one - you become much more aware of some psychopathic tendencies you may have never noticed before.

            What does "a little bit of psychopathy" mean? LOL. A dash of pepper in the soup isn't pepper soup. I've actually been reading about it and gather that psychopathy is a spectrum, but at some point isn't "psychopath" the wrong word? It is a loaded term. Even James Fallon, the author of "The Psychopath Inside" who accidentally discovered he has the same brain activity patterns in a brain scan as hardcore psychopathic criminals, then went on to discover he possessed the whole gamut of genes associated with psychopathy conceded that he isn't really a psychopath. It was all a positive match except he isn't a psychopath criminal. I don't know how he likes his coffee.

              Just having fun. It's all good. I'd never hurt anything/anyone other than in self defense. However - I do know a few people that might be appropriately bitch slapped from time to time. Some people say I lack empathy, but I don't. I lack patience with people who melt down over small stuff. Difference, I think.

      I like my coffee in someone else's cup..and then I stare at them with unblinking dead eyes...until they give me their coffee.

      But I like it with a little milk, so I'm definitely not a psychopath.

          I was wondering who would take the bait.

          Jack; The problem here is that you are a kind thoughtful person. Your replies are funny...witty......but they aren't mean.

        It's kind of amusing to watch some of my hotel customers in the morning before they've had coffee.

            Haha!

            I guess I forgot to mention I like my coffee with double cream and double sugar.

            When I was little and Mom and Grama were drinking coffee, I naturally wanted some. So Grama would pour a little bit of coffee into my milk.

            I guess that's why some people always ask me if I would like some coffee with my cream. lol!

                I don't really have a sweet tooth. I mean I don't crave sweets. Maybe my coffee is why, lol!

                By the way, my sugar is always pure cane sugar. If not, I won't use it as it may be manufactured from corn, which I have a bad allergy to.

                I only like teas if I substitute fruit juice for the water part.

            I also like my coffee - the original energy drink - in a ceramic or glass container. No paper or plastic, nor steel or styro. My favorite mug was pyramid shaped ceramic - kept the coffee warm longer. It had rubber on the bottom so it would not slide, and it was not very tippy. Unfortunately, I left it on my rear bumper and it fell off as I drove away. (If anyone has a link for another, please post or PM.) I now have one as posted below. Grey, and glued together about three times. LOL

    Honestly, I really don't believe in that studies, but all I know about the coffee is that it can boost your brain if you consume in normal volumes.

    I am a fan of black coffee, but I can and I'd love to drink any kind of caffeine. According to my experience, the best way to drink coffee is in the morning hours, but not when you get up from bed, but after you finish your breakfast.

    Almost 47 years on this planet, and not a single cup of coffee has passed these lips. The smell makes me woozy.

    Tea? 3-4 large cups/day of Earl Grey (Stash Double Bergamot is my preference), brewed dark and served at a perfect 175 with one packet of Stevia in the Raw. That is my bliss.

      Tea? 3-4 large cups/day of Earl Grey (Stash Double Bergamot is my preference), brewed dark and served at a perfect 175 with one packet of Stevia in the Raw. That is my bliss.
      I have bird watching groups at my hotel every April. All three are from England (I don't really know why just England). I found PG Tips - "England's most popular tea" and it has gone over very well with all tea lover's since I started having it available. It's a black tea from the top two leaves and the bud of the plant. It is tasty and available at every grocery store and Target and Wal-Mart around here.

      Stevia In The Raw is the name of my new Broadways show. I play Stevia. The prosthetics are amazing!

      What if they're not stars? What if they are holes poked in the top of a container so we can breath?
