That coffee's just doing it's work.  Grab a newspaper and proceed to the nearest reading room, all will be well.

It works as a great natural laxitive if your traveling...I found that out at the con, one or two cups, I was crawling the ceiling (I rarely drink coffee) then moments later I was sitting on the throne.

lol...so true, so true.

Regularity is an important part of my life...

Wake up, put on the coffee, grab the newspaper, smoke a butt, head for the bathroom with a steaming cup o'java.

coffee will definately affect you as you get older.
it varies from person to person though.

I had to stop for a while and heal the ol' stomach and tubes.
now I'm back to espresso (for now)

all in all I drink a LOT less than I did when I was younger

Dunno Senna. I'm 40 and it seems like the older I get, the stronger my coffee gets.

Been using a French Press lately... It's the absolute best way. :)

The blackest roast, the finest grind, the longest brewing time.

It's all good.

Mentat! :D

Alternative... It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion, it is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed, the teeth acquire stains, the stains become a warning. It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion.

My coffee consumption has been the same since before I was 25, that's 23 years for those that are counting. I have 2 of my cups which equal 6 cups according to the pot markings.


Morgoth, have your lips taken on a stain???? Mentat ;)

OK, last week it was 99 degrees one day wiith a heat index of 110 with the humidity. I was walking around a high rise complex with a fresh cup of extra hot expresso (4 shots). That's the definition of a real coffee drinker not the pasty nancy boys that lurch around drinking "frappuchino". Losers.

I've been drinking coffee for 20 years now. I may drink slightly less coffee now but it's probably because I drink better coffee.

No lip stains but the teeth are a bit worse for wear. Getting that taken care of now by a torture technician, I mean, dentist.

Hell, I have to go make a fresh pot now after this post ...

Now you're just talking crazy. A day without multiple cups of coffee is like a day without sunshine :D

Try going to a lighter roasted bean. You could also just drink weaker coffee. That's how my family seems to deal with it as they get older.

You can also get a device that allows you to make concentrated coffee that you just add hot water to when you want a cup. I worked with a guy that did that and he made great coffee.

What, do you think I'm a philistine that I wouldn't recognize a french press? :D
Nope, that ain't it. I have one just like it tho  :)

I think the thing this guy had worked something like expresso does: a massive amount of coffee and a smaller amount of water. And it was an electric appliance like a coffee maker.

I'll see if I can find something on the web like it and post it here. Hell, I'll buy one myself. I've wanted one for 4 years now (since that guy hooked me up with his evil brew).
