What’s yours like?

Now that I work from home 90% of the time, I mostly just make myself a pot of drip coffee, have 2-3 mugs in the afternoon and a cup over ice after lunch. Store brand during the week. Then as a treat, nice stuff like Stumptown or Krankies on the weekend, French press or chemex.

At my office we have a pretty nice espresso machine plus keurigs and there’s a milk steamer so I typically go espresso or latte there, but I’m only in the office maybe once every couple weeks.
 
Baratza burr grinder with HT store brand beans or a local roaster
Drip coffee maker during the week with pour over on the weekend if I feel like making the effort
16oz tumbler (or 2 weekend mugs) each for wife and I
Black

I usually don’t have any more caffeine for the rest of the day. Well during daycare drop off they have cheapo brown water coffee and I’ll get a small cup there but that hardly counts. And if I’m totally wiped I’ll make a green tea at work in the late afternoon.
 
on weekends I have two or three rather large mugs of home ground stuff roasted in Harrisburg

weekdays I usually don't have time and rely on the office coffee pot where I have 4-5 regular sized coffee cups/day. Up to 3pm.

usually black, though i have been doing some cream/sugar more recently
 
I make coffee every morning in my own way. Burr grind whole beans, place in a pot (with pour spout) containing simmering filtered water. Agitate/stir a few times with wooden spoon. Preheat glass-lined thermal carafe. Pour coffee through stainless filter into carafe.

On work days I just drink one cup with breakfast. That’s it. Wife drinks the rest.

When not working I drink 3-4 cups over course of the day.
 
Eh my gut reaction is to lash out at that but I don’t really like feeling beholden to caffeine either. I just genuinely love the taste of coffee.
 
8:30am-ish Reign/Bang w/ some pumpkin seeds
Water the rest of the day

On the weekends, I'll sometimes double up on Monster Rehabs... One in the AM, one when I work out around 2pm
 
Coffee wrecks my insides, but I still indulge occasionally. 1-2 big cups of green tea a day. Alternating between lemon-ginger and peach right now. Supposed to be filled with antioxidants and ish.
 
one big mug of dark roast from a french press. black.
 
Cup of iced coffee every AM. Then sometimes a 12 oz (or maybe less) Diet Dr Pepper or Diet Mt Dew mid afternoon on weekdays. Usually another iced coffee or maybe a Monster on weekend afternoons. For coffee - weekdays and Sundays - grind fresh dark roast beans and put into 2 reusable K-cups and run through a Kuerig. First pod on the 4 oz/strong setting and then next pod on 6 oz/strong. Put in my ice and then add a little Italian Sweet Cream creamer. On Saturday AMs I will do a pour over with a Kalita Wave, if I have the time.
 
I guess I'm a fancy ass. I only drink hot tea when it gets cold. All the rest of the year, homebrewed sweet tea. I dislike the typical "syrup" tea that we grow up with here in the South.
I've never really ever taken to coffee. About the only coffee I'll drink is nut flavored; hazelnut, pecan, almond, etc.
 
Same here, can't stand the smell or the taste.....haven't touched a drop of coffee for 25+ years. Will occasionally have some soda or sweet tea in the evening (or at a tailgate), but mostly stick to water/Gatorade during the day. Chocolate milk or OJ in the morning (or hot chocolate on those really cold mornings).

juice's mom likes nut flavored too
 
2-3 cups of drip every morning, black. i think my wife gets Meijers generic sumatra, and then in the office its corporate packets of butt-ass i guess but Im used to it so I don't even notice just drink it for the fake energy since I don't eat breakfast and am usually a little hungover from the cheap bourbon and dirt weed and amateur tattooed lesbian anal porn I stayed up to consume the night before.

GTB has your nut flavored coffee...
 
Usually wake up and slam a Redbull or Iced coffee, then go coffee all day after that.

If I’m hungover I usually go Red Bull with 1 or 2 100mg caffeine tablets.
 
Drip coffee (Starbucks or Caribou) most mornings

One Red Bull every ~2wks, either when I’m really dragging or really need to get work done
