If you like coffee, why do you like it?

If you don’t, please accept my invitation to brew your views. ;)

It is a great laxative.

It helps give you more energy and helps you to wake up or if you have to stay up late it helps with that to.

I love the flavor and the caffeine rush, both. Although I gave it up daily, I do enjoy a cup on the weekends. I was very addicted so it wasn’t healthy.

KRD's avatar

I heard that after the caffeine rush you crash so could that be a way to fall asleep?

@KRD Depends on how your body processes it but you’d be better of popping a melatonin.

I love great coffee. It can be very delicious.

I love a medium roast chocolatey coffee as a latte, Cappuccino, au lait, or simply with milk (preferably hot and frothed). It’s delicious like hot chocolate but not as sweet, and more complex in flavor. It smells wonderful. It also melts the sinuses when it’s hot enough. I also like iced coffee, coffee milkshakes, cold coffee with cold milk, coffee ice cream, etc. (Different people like it different ways.)

The main part I don’t like is that I’m also mildly addicted. When I drink good coffee after many hours without, it can make my whole body feel a glow, and if I don’t have any/enough coffee for a day or more, I tend to get quite tired and foggy.

Cocaine and meth are illegal and have bad side effects. Energy drinks are also much worse than coffee.

Coffee is for people that are good office slaves. Because it’s totally normal to wake up at 5am and sit in 2 hours of traffic.

I drink coffee in the morning as a wake-me-up. It also helps in social situations. I like it for those two reasons. Other than that, I’m not drinking it all day. I can’t drink it in the evening, because it will affect my sleeping in a bad way.

What is NOT great about coffee?! The taste, aroma and has an “anti-grouch” factor built in. Gives me a wake-up and greet-the-day feeling, a real motivator. It can even relax me more than any other drink, except for alcohol which has very bad after effects. lol

Peculiar, but I never acquired the habit for either it or beer. Good thing probably since I lose all control with ice cream and go through a lot of tea. And the price of coffee is now ungodly. I’ve always been good at the ritual of the cult for the women who passed through my life. For some peculiar reason, since I arrived in this town, every one of them was religiously devoted to Peets. Oh, and they all smoked like chimneys, another habit I never acquired except for cigars as special events. Every one of the women that we still keep in touch with has dropped the ciggie habit. Coffee smells so wonderful. Too bad it doesn’t taste like hot chocolate.

As a coffee drinker and a non coffee drinker I found that it takes me there same amount of time to wake up with or without coffee.

It’s the flavor for me. I like coffees with chocolate, cherry, or hazelnut notes. I don’t drink it every day. The caffeine affects me minimally. I love fresh strawberries paired with coffee. I often put a few cardamom pods in the grinder with the beans, which is a Scandinavian thing.

It’s the nectar of life. ‘Nuff said.

Can someone like something for no reason?

It’s delicious, and that’s enough for me :D

Although it does help me more alert when I need to, but that’s not the main reason why I like it.

I liked coffee so much when I worked and drank 8 cups r more a day on shift. I got a lot more done then most employees…because it made me hyper.
Now I cut coffee out or sometimes have one cold coffee ( processed flavoured cool creamed coffee).

I have been a coffee drinker since I was a pre-teen. Swiss miss hot cocoa is a gateway to general foods international coffee and from there to the the hard stuff :) Nothing happens until I get a cup in the morning. It’s my only addiction and I’m not sure what life would be like without it. caffeinated is my baseline.
