Tea is a more healthy alternative with all the same benefits listed in that article.

It's good for you.

Tea doesn't have enough caffine in it to help you get up.

Hell yeah I drink coffee. I usually make mine with the plunger-pot method which is something that article seems to advise against... oh well

What a plunger pot, anyway?

I usually have a 12oz mug of coffee on weekdays. When I'm home on the weekends, I'll sometimes drink the entire 8-cup pot throughout the day.

Ah...so basically they are saying that you should use a paper filter, which stips all of the oils and the best flavors out of the coffee. I call that a French Press, and that's what I use to make my coffee at home.

Anything in excess is bad for you. And we Americans like to have everything in excess. I'll let your mind connect the two.

 

[JDrake]

I don't drink that stuff!

Yeah I feel the same way- I want that flavor that the filters will absorb!

Drink espresso. They exclude that from the list although I'm not sure why.

I have a pretty damn sweet espresso machine- a Nuova Simonelli Oscar, but in the morning I am just a zombie- can't wait so long for the machine to warm up and then all the time to clean up afterwards

I've drunk coffee since I was in 2nd or 3rd grade, it did make me albiet more awake but it's not like I bounced off the walls like some people claim it does to kids.. I also heard claims that it stunted growth which I believe is a clear lie and I ended up disproving my 5th grade teacher since I was the tallest one in the class, possibly the school. I'm also not addicted to coffee either, it doesn't cause me headaches like it does for my mom, I can go to sleep on a cup of coffee if I choose to so I guess I have the best of all worlds...

Most migraines nowadays in coorporate america comes from an imbalance in nutrition, most of that is from a caffeine dependancy.

**EDIT**
the others are from back and neck pain.

Duuuude, put it on a timer! I have an Isomac Tea and a Mazzer Mini, and I have the Tea on by 7AM every morning. By the time I'm ready for work (I work from home when I'm home) I can pull an espresso or make a fantastic cappuccino immediately.

Hmm that is awfully tempting... A nice espresso in the morning with that layer of crema would probably boost my productivity

 

[SampSon]

I couldn't care less if it's healthy for me or not, I like it.

 

[everman]

Espresso here as well. I have a Rancillio Silvia & Mazzer Mini, and just put Silvia on a timer. I also roast my own beans

Dude you must have never took good speed...felt like I was going to bust out of my own skin after a couple of hits.

That doesn't mean it didn't stunt your growth. Maybe you would have been 6'7" without the coffee.

That could be true because I did speed about 25 years ago
