I was not much of a coffee drinker when I was younger but now I am a big fan of it. I now understand what it is to have only coffee for my breakfast.

Each night I pour 400ml into a beaker for the kettle the next morning. A heaping tablespoon of grounds are in an over-cup filter cone as well. That is usually enough to get my motor turning over, about 12 ounces after extraction. Sometimes a second ¾ cup for the pleasure of it.

But the days of making a pot in the Technivorm? That machine is in the basement, getting dusty.

My uncle, on the other hand, he can drink 10 cups, and call that a good start.

I suspect that they do. For hangover, they drink coffee, so they drink less alcohol.

If coffee and tea were to replace soda,I imagine our population would would see a dramatic decrease in a few diseases.

I've been telling people for years that they'll live longer if they wait until I've had my second cup of coffee.
