Instant decaf

Yep

I don't drink coffee period.

Me neither tastes like garbage

I like coffee, but can't drink it. It makes my heart go crazy.
I saw on TV this morning studies show that 2-3 cups of coffee can result in life longevity.

Instant coffee is putrid!

It's what I drink every morning once the temp gets in the 50's and below.
My blood pressure skyrockets with caffeine but I still enjoy a warm drink in the a.m.
I also drink hot non-caffeine herbal teas

Coffee, cigarettes, whiskey and chewing tobacco are all acquired tastes.
Nobody ever, in the history of mankind actually enjoyed their first taste of any of em'.
Nature's way of telling us its poison.
Peer pressure leads to addiction, we just convince ourselves we like it. (or love it)
Can you recall you first corner of Browns Mule ?

Crow I think your onto something, though I think the first dip I ever had of Redman I enjoyed

I love the smell of it, but can't stand the taste.

Over the years I've manged to whittle that list down to just coffee.

This thread reminds me of a time back in my college days when I went duck hunting with one of my closest friend's brother. The brother is a heckova nice guy, but a bit on the "metro" side of things. Anyway, we crashed the night before at his parent's place and when I awoke at zero-dark-thirty I could hear him grinding coffee beans. Fancy. I'm mostly a Folder's guy (black only - I don't need my coffee tasting like a Snicker's bar). Once his gourmet grounds start brewing I get punched in the face by the smell of hazelnut/mocha/cherry/chai/whatever.

He's making flavored coffee. The pot is made and he fills a thermos with it as we hit the door.

Fast forward about an hour and a half later and we are in the boat. The decoys are out, the blind is up and we have about 10 minutes before legal shooting light. It's a perfect morning for a late-season diver hunt. Wind. Spitting rain/snow. It's miserable - and perfect. And cold. "Hey, do you want a cup of coffee?" he asks me. At this point, I would gladly climb INTO a cup of coffee so I eagerly accept.

The thermos cap is about 2 inches from my mouth when the smell hits me. Flavored swill. But, I figured that the hot intake of liquid would be nice and Good Heavens I could use the caffeine.

As I choke down the last of it - practically pinching my nose to get it down, he says to me, "What do you think of that coffee, huh? Pretty darn good for decaf."

Decaf? He brought gourmet, freshly ground DECAF COFFEE into the duck boat? I asked him how he managed to stuff the sundress he was wearing into his waders.

Decaf.

Good story, thanks.
Did he also bring along his Red Ryder ?

Coffee has saved a lot of lives around me. I go to bed thinking about the next days cup that’s coming up. LOL always though a coffee truck selling a regular cup of coffee would out shine the swill they sell today.

You forgot hot peppers.
People from s-hole 3rd world countries started eating those cause they didnt have any real edible food,

And a sharper mind.

Coffee tastes foul to me, even in desserts.

If our house was burning in the morning, Diane would likely still finish a couple of cups of coffee before leaving it.
