I love my Timmy's. May not be anything exotic by coffee standards, but no day is a good day without a XLDD to start it off.

Extra Large Double Double (2 cream, 2 sugar)
The first time I went to a Tim Hortons store and ordered a coffee, the gal asked "regular"? I said yes thinking a regular drip coffee. Hortonese code- regular= 1 cream, 1 sugar.

I can't drink ordinary coffee, as it contributes to blood sugar crashes (feeling weak and faint, feeling as if my face goes numb, shaking). This also means no energy drinks such as Red Bull, as that positively wipes me out all by itself. Very horrible feeling. Anyone else have this happen to them?
However, I drink one cup of decaff every day, because I love the taste - black, two sugars. I can't stand the taste of coffee with milk.

Never drank coffee until a few weeks ago when we got Keurig coffee machine. I drink 2-3 cups a day now. I've learned to drink it black and I love it. One of my training partner's wife makes us lattes before rides too, to die for.

8-12 cups per day
use it as performance enhancer and medication (extreme ADHD, i'm one of those people that coffee calms down)
Drinking it now actually and going to climb up some "<<<" (extreme grade) around town

I did find a coffee shop that sells Stumptown Coffee here in Toronto and Wow, it is indeed excellent. My new favorite!

I drink too much of the stuff but I've found that if I drink it anytime before my workout, it's a recipe for disaster as I wretch on the ground trying to not puke my brains out. But I'll never pass up a freshly brewed pot after a good workout!

Probably way too much... 4 - 5 cups a day or so. Working graveyard shift doesn't help either. I try to mix it up and drink some quality decaf in between regular cups, or pour 50/50 when getting it from a shop.
A couple years ago, I just decided one day to buy a decent grinder, having always drank Taster's Choice before then. Was never too much into coffee until I picked up a Capresso Infinity and a french press (these days I mostly use the aeropress). After a while I found the good beans (Porto Rico Importing in NYC) and pretty much fell in love with it. Over time I went from sugaring and milking it up to just a splash of milk. There's nothing quite a like a good cup of coffee or 3, especially brewed from recently roasted, just-ground beans. I like tea as well, but it doesn't even come close to the level of satisfaction that I get from a cup of coffee.
I few weeks ago I stepped into the relatively new Stumptown shop here and bought a bag of beans. It makes the Porto Rico stuff look like Taster's Choice in comparison. Not a cheap hobby, I tell ya.

Today was my 2nd day of using the Aeropress. I 3 scoops (down from 4 yesterday) and then topped off with water and a splash of milk for my 16oz thermos. No sediment at the bottom is nice and its easier to clean, more consistent flavor? I need new beans, not a big fan of what I have. It takes more effort to press than I expected, I'm not sure if its because I've only done a 4-scoop and 3-scoop press but I'll play with the grind. I may try a head-to-head comparison with the french press this weekend.
