Every day is Coffee Day for me or nothing much would get done. Coffee in the morning; coffee and a catch up with old friends; going for coffee with your new hot date – we drink coffee morning, day and night with friends, business associates and lovers. You have only to walk down the nearest high street and note the number of coffee chains to realise the extent of our love affair with our favourite caffeinated beverage. Whether you favour espresso, americanos, lattes or cappuccinos; iced, decaf, instant or filter – Coffee Day is the day to savour and appreciate your beverage. Coffee Day also marks the long history of the drink: the properties of coffee beans are thought to have first been discovered in Ethiopia. The beans are actually the pits found in the coffee berry or cherry. The story goes that a 9th century goat herder noticed their stimulating effects on his goats and began experimenting. Coffee drinking was originally popularised in the Arab world from around the 15th century spreading across Asia then to Italy and across Europe and to the Americas – and finally to your coffee cup. Today, coffee is one of the world’s biggest crops so buying ethically grown coffee is all the more important – be sure to be selective in buying your cup of coffee and supporting ethical trade. So when you drink your cup of coffee today, inhale its aroma, taste its dark and full-bodied flavour, think about its story – but most of all enjoy
Standing in Terminal 3 coffee to go in one hand customer name board in other What a way to start a day Cheers
I much prefer tea, though it doesn’t have quite the same ring to it as saying ‘meet for a coffee later’. I only drink decaf now, or v milky weak coffee as anything stronger makes me feel sick .
Thinking of reducing my tea n coffee intake drastically. Can’t be good for me drinking 6 plus cups a day?
I drink lots of tea every day. It would be rude to refuse if a customer offers Spookily I only started drinking tea and coffee when I started work as before that I drank water and on the army camp the water was horrible and I didn’t want to drink pop
2nd coffee of the day for me already. Will prob manage a third before midday, after which I abstain (Maybe a decaf latte if I must......)
Coffee for the first one or two of the day, then tea for the rest. But I never say no to tea if it is the first thing offered.
I'm caffeine free these days, unless I'm on a long night time drive and need a wakener. Still need 2 cups of decaff before I leave the house in the morning though..
Mrs C once changed to decaf without telling me. I now know what a drug addict must feel like while doing cold turkey.
It's beginning to look like it's the right thing to do if you have atrial fibrillation (on Owen's list) as metastudies are coming through showing the counter intuitive result that around 5 or 6 a day can slightly reduce AF .... Something to to do with anti inflammatory and anti oxidants found in coffee as well as the infamous caffeine .... I was in a rush so didn't read thoroughly, but ......
If they're decaffeinated what are you "needing" do you think? The heat? The fluids? The sugar you (?) put in? or, as with me, the flaaaavour!
