content: Yes. A lot. Mix of keeping us awake and having a bit of social time.We have a coffee machine sponsored by either our company or our boss (depends on the current financial situation).Regarding the beans, we live the dream of "real existing coffee communism" where nobody really pays for the cup/mug but just brings a pack of beans when they're empty.Surprisingly, this works much better than our previous system of having one guy responsible to buy the coffee, calculate prices for the individual consumption etc.Anyway, one 1kg pack of beans is usually around 7€ to 8€. So while I can't really say how many cups/mugs this makes due to the communism thing, I would guess around 100 which would mean around 7-8 Cent (Euro) per cup/mug.

content: Lived on it when I was working but drink less now retired.I use a (now discontinued in UK) Senseo pod machine and make a 450ml mug from a large pod.Costs me around 20pence per mug. But it has been going up steeply for some time as the pods are getting so hard to source.Guess I will need to get a bean to cup machine soon.Of course if you buy it in coffee shops expect to pay nearly £4 for same amount.

content: The others do, I don't,If the only reason your awake is due to coffee, your defiantly not giving your best and are being worked too hard.If you cannot begin your day without coffee, that's pretty much addiction.Then there is the cost factor, a cup of coffee where I live is $8-12, I have saved literally tens of thousands by preferring water to coffee.

content: I am an engineer with over 30 years experience, but I have never had a cup of coffee in my life and have never even sipped coffee. I was forced to eat coffee jelly as a small kid - the vile, disgusting taste put me off for life. The money I have saved by not consuming coffee, assuming $4 for a cup per working day over 35 years is around $35,000. If I was an addict, it would be $70,000.The only thing more disgusting than coffee is olives. You'd have to be sick in the head to like olives, IMO. But then again, I love Vegemite on toast, so it is all relative. As an Aussie, I were brought up on Vegemite, so the same thing can be said of southern Europeans and their olives.So enjoy your food, whatever it may be.

What typically happens after a couple of days is that her skull splits open and fire shoots out of her eyes at the slightest perceived provocation. I encourage the addiction as I don't like my @ss on fire.Olives are wonderful. They go especially well in spaghetti sauce which we both love that way. I would love to give Vegemite a try, I am willing to try anything once. It seems like I might be able to get it from Amazon. Hmmmmm.

Coffee is such a wonderful social drink. (Other than beer, of course).And before anyone asks, I drink it completely black. I don't spoil it with sugar, Splenda, cream, milk, cinnamon or other foreign flavors.During a trip to Istanbul, I discovered Turkish coffee......wonderful!

content: Quote from: 001 on November 24, 2018, 09:02:41 amPerhaps I am just lucky - average price 0.000 per cup.Except for my first job (at a computer manufacturer), I've had the luck of working at places where an employer-supplied coffee pot is always available. At two places I worked, coffee is the "single serving" type machines that also produce tea and chocolate types of drinks. I can understand my first job at a computer manufacturer w/o free coffee, you probably don't want a readily available cup of liquid to spill.I think it is as much company culture as job culture. As far as I can recall (again, except my first job), when I worked at or visited the overseas branches in both Europe and Asia, free coffee pot is always available. So that culture appears to cross nationality boundaries.I should also note, even with free coffee at the employer's dime, some folks would prefer to buy their own Cola/pop-drinks at the vending machine. While the drinker claims this is the way they get their caffeine, but I suspect they are just trying to fit in when everyone else has a cup of something-to-drink in their hands.I've more to say, but I got to go fill my cup... That is far more important than yapping to some strangers I've never met.

But I still like coffee while driving or while breathing. Starbucks, Dunkin, and McDonalds are my regular coffee place when I need coffee while out. Of the three, I like McDonald's coffee best, and Dunkin the least.Locally, we have a brand called Law or Laws at certain convenient store chain. I should like that one for my own name sake, but I don't...What I think best is Chock Full of Nuts coffee. It is (was?) not a national brand, but if you worked/lived in New York City you would probably know that brand. Around there before/around 1980's, it probably was the Starbucks before there were StarBucks. Some Walmart stores carry one particular mix of Chock Full of Nuts (Medium-original), that is not my favorite mix but good enough for normal daily use.

content: Quote from: 001 on November 24, 2018, 09:02:41 amI live in the Sonoran Desert, what we call Baja Arizona.I have been a coffee drinker for most of my life. Like many people, I started out drinking coffee with milk and sugar. When I was at college the first year, I had a small coffeemaker in the dorm room, and would make coffee in the morning and when studying. Once I ran out of milk and was too lazy to walk a few blocks to get more, so I started drinking it without. Then the sugar ran out, same thing, so it's been black coffee for many years.I went to college in Hoboken, NJ, which at the time had one of the very large Maxwell House coffee roasters running full time. The building took up basically a whole long block. The advice, "wake up and smell the coffee!" was a real thing in Hoboken then! If you were on the west side of New York City looking across the Hudson River you could see the very large animated neon Maxwell House coffee sign. Located across the street from the roaster was the famous (and now closed) rock club Maxwell's.Now, of course, the Maxwell House facility is long since closed, and the buildings were revamped and are now million-dollar condominiums overlooking New York City. All that's really left of my Hoboken is Benny Tudino's pizza and Lisa's Deli. People who don't run hedge funds cannot afford to live there.Anyway: One thing to realize is that when you drink black coffee, the coffee itself actually matters. When you dilute it with all of that other shit, the coffee itself is less important. My adopted home city for the last 21 years, the Old Pueblo, is (for reasons I don't really understand) home to several really good local coffee roasters, so we have plenty of choices. I like to get beans of an Ethiopian variety called Yirgacheff. They don't over-roast it, and so it actually has a flavor, instead of being just burnt brown hot water. The coffee costs about $20 a pound. I grind the beans and make the coffee in a French press. My co-workers are surprised: "$20 a pound for coffee! You must be rich!" Then I point out the Keurig machine and mention that the stupid plastic cups end up costing about $50 a pound for shitty coffee and you end up with a pile of waste plastic.Those local roasters, in addition to selling beans, will sell a 16-ounce cup of coffee for two bucks. (Lattes and other foo-foo drinks cost more, of course.)So as to quantity: it's a mug of coffee in the morning while we get the kid ready for school, and i'll make and drink the four-cup French press when I get to the office.

I have been drinking a lot more since this thread started. Back to measuring by gallons instead of cups...There are many other factors for sure. Some is justa taste of home. Every time when I am overseas, I found myself hanging out at coffee places: McDonald every night just for a cup of USA coffee (generally less rich than the European style coffee); and if I can't find a McDonald, I settle with Starbucks.For sure coffee is not just an Engineer's party drink, according to hear-say, US Marines loves their coffee also. In search of support for that assertion, I found this "Korean War Marine saying" on the web at Gear Patrol: "Combat Breakfast: two aspirin, two cups of coffee, a quick prayer, a quick puke."Not just the Marines, other branches too apparently. I am consuming a cup of AK Expresso as we "speak". This one is for sure started just as ataste of homeby an Army veteran, and (according to the company founder in an interview) became "if that is was the last cup of coffee (of my life), at least I started the day with a good cup of coffee." He names his blends all by tools of his trade, AK(47), Silencer Smooth, "Coffee or Die" blend... He is a veteran (Army special forces) who served active duty and wanted a taste of home while overseas and/or a good last cup of coffee - that love of coffee became the start of a business - a coffee company called Black Rifle Coffee after he retired from service.Normally I am not particularly fond of Expresso, but I do like it as a "something special" other than my daily Chock Full of Nuts coffee. But this last week, I have been chucking down my special coffee like there is no tomorrow.Bottoms Up, guys.

content: During my working career I rarely drank coffee, even though there were always inexpensive coffee clubs or even free coffee clubs at the workplace. I reserved that caffeine boost for those times I really needed it, and since I wasn't acclimated the boost was really there. The rest of the time I drank weak tea.But the reality is that I only drank (and still do drink) small amounts of these beverages. I pour a cup, take a sip or two and then get involved in what I am doing and look over a couple of hours later to realize that I have wasted a few more Joules heating a beverage up and then letting it slowly cool. I often repeat this process two or three times a day. It is worse now that in the US automatic shutoffs have been mandated in coffee/tea pots that shuts them off after two hours. I can't just freshen the cup, have to wait for heat up. And I often get involved again before it gets hot.

content: Quote from: beanflying on November 29, 2018, 10:26:58 pmWord variation in usage and meaning is just a natural progression. I think the general society will modulate it somehow - if no one uses that variation, it dies. If more and more use that variation, it is then the norm and may even replace the old one as the normal. In time, some of the variations are rejected and some of them will live on, whether we like it or not.I come to view local variation as a compliment than a bastardization : not only is it good enough for me, it is good enough for me to improve upon and consider it my own... it is a positive rather than a negative as "bastardization" would imply.The geographic and cultural variation of English is one of the subject that "The Story of English" dug into in deep detail. Very interesting subject I may add.I actually didn't know that Expresso was also used for some cheaper quicker imitation as cited by one of the links in the replies. I leaned something new there. So I am now a more knowledgeable person today than yesterday - that is a good thing.
