I started drinking coffee when I was 4-years old, my mom made me
pullamössö ("sweetroll-mush") of coffee, milk, sugar and bits of sweet roll mushed in. So I guess it's not a big surprise I'm addicted to coffee even worse than to chocolate :p

Also there is more caffiene in a cup of strong tea than a 6 oz. cup of brewed coffee, and a cup of coffee has more caffiene than a double shot of espresso.
You'll have to take that up with (

The operative is STRONG. Average in a medium to weak brew is 40 to 60 milligrams. In the average coffee (weak by most brews) is 80 to 135.
Sorry about that. I mis-spoke. Thanks. I'll have to keep track of my Alzheimers attacks. :)

Babycinos are basically warm milk + froth with chocolate dusting and a marshmallow or two dropped inside. Something to make the kids feel like they're having something while the parents recover with a major caffeine fix. :)

Hobo or Cowboy method we used to call it. It do make great coffee. A small sprinkle of cold water to settle the grounds and you have heaven in a cup.

I invested in an electric grinder last year after being treated to the joys of home-ground coffee by a dear friend. The only beans I can afford at the moment are Cameron's Columbian Supremo, but it hits the spot and I don't drink nearly as much as I did when I was using the regular pre-ground stuff. I'll never go back.
Next stop: a home latte maker. :p

Every morning I fresh grind (
http://alterracoffee.com/) Alterra beans, usually something somewhat dark and low in acidity (the latter to appease stomach issues that have plagued me for most of 2009 and 2010, although I can probably ease up on that now). I brew using a fairly shitty drip coffeemaker, although I'm currently weighing possible replacements. I'm considering switching to using my girlfriend's french press, but I'm not entirely sold yet on its supposed superiority (and let's face it: sometimes you want to make more than just one cup of coffee).
I also own a percolator for camping trips, which makes the worst fucking coffee that will ever knock you on your ass while gathered around a fire. I love that thing.

Can't say I'm a java addict, but I usually don't say no to a nice cup o'joe.
But I have to admit, I probably commit unforgivable sins for the hardcore coffee crowd:
1. I add sugar and make it sweet, thus killing the coffee grains, or so they say.
2. I also add cream.
:D
So I guess what I usually drink is a latte....shit....

The only acceptable thing to add to coffee is alcohol.
