I remember drinking black coffee at my 1st job in Florida, all day long as I worked in an office. When I changed jobs I quit drinking it as I didn't have a coffee pot at home. Then my last job was a midnight shift but drank mostly tea......iced in the summer and hot in the winter. Occasionally one of the gals would offer to pick up some coffee for me from Starbucks. Had one of their lattas and it kept me up for 36 hrs. Never again would I drink their coffee. When I retired it was tea again as I still didn't have a coffee pot plus my beau didn't drink coffee either.
When I moved up to Iowa where my family lived I stayed with my sister while looking for another house. She's a coffee drinker so got started on coffee again. When I got my own house I started getting Gevalia's flavored coffee and got a free coffee pot from them. My 2 1st coffee pots came from them as gifts and I'm still using the 2nd one but have another new coffee pot in the closet in case this one dies. Anyway I add 1 scoop of their flavored coffee to 2 scoops of regular coffee so its not too foofoo for anyone else that might stop by.....especially the guys. Gevalia has discontined most of their flavored coffees I like so have stopped ordering from them but have tried some from the grocery stores made by Dunkin Donuts. I now only drink 1 tall cup of coffee a day as my hands shake enough without help from the caffeine.
