I got to work this morning late and we were out of bean in the coffee maker so I warmed up the left over coffee from last tuesday morning. It was the worst coffee I have ever had but man did it give me a fix. I feel like a junkie!
This is how you know your adicted to coffee
- Thread starter firetoole
- Start date
The beauty of this is, that over the week, much of the water has evaporated thereby concentrating the caffeine. It's about the same as when I make a double bagger brew (our coffee comes pregroundfiretoole said:

But we already knew that...
How about when you go without coffee all day and then at the end of the day you have a headache that can only be stopped by drinking a stiff cup.
The most junkie-like coffee behavior on my part is-
...upon realizing I only have enough coffee left for half a pot at the concentration I like, I have reused coffee & filter by just adding what's left in the bag to the moist mound from the previous day's pot. I end up with a full pot of coffee that doesn't taste quite as good or have quite as much punch as a normal fresh one, but is better than a mere half pot of 100% fresh.
Mmmmmmm...after rereading that, the behavior doesn't sound too normal.

I'm afraid that you are not the only guilty party regarding this behavior...
On a far uglier note, while pressed for time in the army one would occasionally down a pack of instant coffee followed by water..
We used to mix up a batch of "pudding" with MRE extras: combine one packet of coffee creamer, one packet of instant coffee, and one package of sugar with hot cocoa mix. Stir in enough water to give it a gooey pudding-like consistency and enjoy.PonySoldier said:On a far uglier note, while pressed for time in the army one would occasionally down a pack of instant coffee followed by water..
If you are allready late, might as well make it another 5 minutes, IMO. Stop and pick up the 20oz on the way in.firetoole said:

My 3 dumb contributions to this thread only qualified by the fact that i live in Seattle kinda, the disputed coffee capitol of the world...
1 an apple wakes you up better than a cup of joe
2 when i managed a movie theater a few lifetimes ago i made myself a 14 shot mocha thinking it would speed up my calculating skills expaditing my exit to whatever adventures a friday night brought. Man was that a stupid idea....
3 meh i forgot what number 3 was, hmm musta been a lie.

3 last night i was watching the theory of how Hitler's doctor was prescribing him an assortment of Methamphetamines and how it possibly lead to alot of poor judgements that helped in an Allied victory. Hmmm don't really see that much of a correlation to this thread but i thought i'd share anyways. :dancing:

Sometimes I am too lazy to actually get up and make coffee. So I just eat a bunch of bitter semi-sweet chocolate covered espresso beans.
And I like it.
And I like it.
I have 2 younger sisters, both of whom are rather sedate and thus....lost causes. Neither of them drinks anything stronger than bubbly water. I consider them my 2 failures since, while growing up (or should I say just taller), I could never get them to go along with any of my ideas for fun.biggins said:

Yeah, it's amazing what you'll eat when you've been living in a hole in the ground for 2 weeks, working 14 to 16-hour days and only sleeping 2 out of every 4 hours at night. God bless the infantry.I Are Baboon said:Jesus, man.
