im with you creetin, i drink at least 4 to 6 cups a day. I have a friend with a coffee roaster and he buys green kona at 29.99 a pound and roasts it himself-thats hands down the best coffee I have ever had.

As I'm sitting here enjoying my coffee this morning...I thought I'd chime in as well with my coffee of choice. First off I've definitely cut back the amount that I drink now compared to when I was in college. I got to drinking coffee every morning in college since there was an awesome bagel place on campus and they made fresh coffee just about every 20 minutes (since people would go crazy for it and it would go quick). My parents never drank Folgers so it has always been Starbucks or some sort of special organic shade grown coffee from Whole Foods or something like that.

I usually drink about 4-6 cups in the morning during the work week and then it just depends on how much time I have to sit around on the weekend. If the coffee is there, I will definitely drink the whole pot. My fiancee isn't a huge coffee drinker so just more for me :) I usually just buy whole bean coffee and grind it myself and either use the drip or a french press. I agree that french press coffee is by far the best though, but you have to have a strong stomach depending on how strong you make it.

I am definitely a coffee "snob" though and it holds true for beer as well. If there is only Folgers or Bud available, I'd rather just skip it and deal with the coffee headache.

Have any of you found any good sites online to buy good premium coffee? They have a pretty good selection around here but no foreign grown other than Starbucks.

My sis in law is from Ethiopa and apparently their main export is coffee. She gets it from home and the way she makes it is odd. She takes the beans and like...cooks them in a pan. Then she puts them in this little ceramic pot thing (maybe she grins them first) and cooks the pot on the stove. Coffee is like a ritual experience for her culture and the serving of it is a big deal. My husband loves coffee and he says its the strongest stuff he's ever had.

da6d2003 - I'm a bit like you with caffiene...I can drink soda all day but if I drink a few coffees I need to be peeled off the ceiling.

Do you guys get caffiene headaches at a certain time of the day if you don't get coffee? Man....if I don't have a few sodas in me by noon my head feels like its cracking open. I used to be able to sleep in (not any more with the kids) but if I do try to sleep past 10 or so I wake with a nasty headache that no amount of tylonal can clear until I get some caffiene in me.
