Yes. The jolt of "Joe" that keeps us functional.

I started drinking coffee towards the latter half of my college years. I think I was 20 and had to stay awake to study. Now I drink two cups in the morning -- one when I wake up, and one while I start my work day. I used to have a basic coffee maker but it finally died on me so I took out the French press that was languishing in the cupboard and put it good use. I'd have to say the coffee from the French press is much more flavorful.

I have always said I hated coffee, it's too hot, it makes me sweat... and a whole host of other reasons. I was at a meeting one morning and it was freezing in the room so i made me a cup of coffee to hold to keep my hands warm and sipped it every now and then. Soon i started fixing it adding different flavor creamers and now have become addicted. I mentioned to a friend how now i love coffee all of a sudden and she told me her mom was diagnosed with a iron defiency and as a result if that she started drinking coffee and would sometime eat the grinds. I was surprise to hear that because i realized i started liking cofee after being diagnosed with a iron defiency.

For whatever reason I now like coffee, however, I do cheat when drinking coffee because I drink half coffee and half cappuccino mixed. It make the perfect blend I don't have to add any sugar or creame.

I did not know about the link between coffee / coffee grounds and iron deficiency.

That's interesting! I didn't think there was a connection, but I too have iron deficiency and always feel best after a cup!

uh oh...hopelessly addicted and anemic...hhhmmmm. How will I ever learn to live without iron?

I am a coffee slut as opposed to a coffee call girl...if I want a cup, I will throw three-day-old gas station swill in the nuker and happily suck it back. I am the only addict in the house and hate. coffee. grounds. so I use a Keurig and love it. Pop in a cuppy thingamy, hit a button, watch the magic.

Lol. I'm tempted to get a one-cupper, thanks to this thread.

I usually am very lazy and when I crave a cup am more likely to dash out for one than to make one. That's especially because I won't drink a whole pot, and I tend to crave it later in the day, when my husband won't drink any.

Insert cup.
Press button.
Wait 7 seconds.
Drink.

'Enabler' is dead right.

Lol. I will have to reskim this thread for one cupper recommendations.

Does anyone know which ones have inserts for Peet's, Green Mountain, Dunkin' Donuts or McDonald's coffees? I don't know whether the are DD or McD inserts, but I find their coffees drinkable when on the run and only fast-food chains are in sight.
