Noticed a few posts that mention the down side of coffee such as headaches, insomnia, dehydration and as I posted earlier, addition.

Now I don't want to turn this into a mens health thread (considering I found the following on a womens health site) but it would be interesting to see how many coffee addicts there are....

"Whether you want to believe it or not, coffee does cause addiction. You don’t have to drink 20 cups of coffee a day to consider yourself being addicted. As long as you can’t get through a single day without coffee, you’ve developed a minor addiction. People with more serious addiction to coffee can experience nervousness, hand tremble, cold sweats and even anger until they get their dose."

Just stay away from the franchise Coffee shops,

Gloria jeans

Muffin break

Coffee club

You got to find one with the little wog behind the machine..

I've had no problems with Gloria jeans coffee, I was going there all the time once for there caramel lattes

Plus they say coffee shouldn't be too hot, if it is then there doing it wrong

Actually black coffee can be as hot as you want it to be provided it doesn't burn the grounds (then it just tastes like poo)..

Milk coffee shouldn't exceed about 63-68 degrees because if the milk gets too hot it'll start to break down..

Also as for Gloria Jeans caramel latte.. You can't judge a places coffee based on caramel latte. Anything with a sugary flavoured syrup in it is gonna over ride the taste of the coffee.. Even McCafe make a good caramel latte..

Also on the men's health topic. Yes I'm addicted.. I admit it.. 3 cups a day addicted.. 5 cups on a big day at work but that usually ends with the jitters..

I used to be like that freaky.. But it was starting to do funny things to my guts.. So I cut back..

I keep saying I'll cut it out completely.. But I know that'll never happen.

I was always a cup of coffee and a ciggy before the day starts kind of guy...but kicked the later over 12 months ago and lost the desire/craving/need for coffee too.

Still have a cup or two a day but doesn't bother me if I don't have any, but that first proper coffee after abstaining for a coupla days is a bit :w00t2:
