Yes, I also don’t drink tea! I’m just not a big caffeine person! I used to drink a twelve-pack of Diet Coke a day, then my affections wavered to diet grapefruit soda, and I’ve been drinking caffeine-free ever since. Everyone told me I’d get terrible withdrawal headaches, but honestly I’ve never noticed any effects — good, bad, or other — from caffeine. I guess I’m immune!

Also, dude, thank you so much for your kind words about my little project! I’m having one of the best times of my life so far, pushing boundaries all over the place. And weirdly I’ve found that it’s the little ones (drinking coffee, talking to strangers, sticking up for myself in retail situations, etc) that are harder to do — and more rewarding! — than the big, outrageous ones. I’m going to have to write a post one of these days about all the little changes I’ve noticed in my life, but after even only a month, I really do feel like I’m a slightly different, slightly better person!

I told myself if I could drink coffee black, I would allow myself to drink it. Once you add all the cream and sugar etc. then you’re getting into trouble, because that tastes divine.

So if I NEED it, I can do it, about half a cup will usually get me to where I have to be energy wise.

But I am a Barista, so I do know how to make the most ridiculous and delicious coffee treats!

I’m a caffeine FIEND but as I hate both coffee AND tea I get my fix from soft drinks. I salute you even giving coffee a go. The very smell makes me want to vom.

You may be my God, I honestly could not push my boundaries the way you are.

Weird how it took the coffee one to get me to admit that…

After hearing the phrase “yuppie gush” to describe a regular coffee drinker’s body’s reaction to coffee, I haven’t quite been able to look at coffee drinking the same way.

That look usually involves giggling like an idiot.

Brave girl! I’m not sure I’d be able to get a whole cup down. Maybe if they could quadruple the fudge . . .

All I can say is you are lucky! My digestive system and coffee definitely don’t get along… but ever since I made the mistake of trying Starbucks iced espresso, i have made a point of saying Eff you to my bowels, pretty much daily. And its making me broke. Im gonna have to either give up coffee or wine one of these days. So long, coffee.

Ick is what I say to coffee. I was in the cafeteria in high school one day eating my lunch when something went down the wrong tube or whatever and I started coughing, I needed something-anything-to drink and some guy gave me his coffee. He had so much sugar in it that it was SOLID coming out of the cup. Actual solid strings of sugar. Oh, it makes my stomach turn just thinking about it. I never liked coffee to begin with, but that just really turned me off. I’m an energy drink drinker myself.

Further to this; You also find significant caffeine in tea (you make it weaker, but it contains a higher concentration of caffeine for a given mass of bean/leaf as applicable), and most sodas except European recipe lemonade sodas.
