I have had to start watching carbs and I gave up tobacco so coffee and salt are my only 2 eating vices. I drink 6-8 cups a day and like the taste of salt and will not give up either.
Maybe if I start drinking more coffee it will help my health and I can go back to cake, candy and tobacco. Larry

I noticed last week that Maxwell house 25 oz went from $6.50 to $10. My favorite was Seattle's Best until the buyout. It has gone to unobtainable.Krogers private selection k cups went from $14 to $23 for 48. Juan Valdez is laughing sittin there on that sack of beans.

Don't waste, err spend, money on tobacco or alcohol, so not a whole lot of attention paid to coffee prices.

Started drinking coffee in the Navy, '64-'68, and enjoy it too much to stop now. It'll have to go way beyond my budget before we (wife likes it too) quit b/c that only leaves water. We don't imbibe and don't care for soda.

We don't drink coffee and we don't drink soda pop ........ Jack Daniels on the other hand .......

Since we're on Round 2 of coffee & memes (I recall an earlier thread on this some time ago) here are a couple of repeats, esp. for the musicians:

and an even older classic:

coffee is not drop'n off the menu until we are in mighty poor times (next week perhaps).
i enjoy "death wish" coffee each and every morning and usually a cup or maybe two later in the day.
day.
yesterday, at the farm store, i paid $116.00 for a 2.5gal jug of faux-round-up to kill 180acres of weeds.
this morning in anticipation of all that spraying i drank two cups of my excellent & strongly caffeinated coffee with a nice shot of heavy cream.

it won't be an either - or for me.....for a while!

And it'll be very bad times indeed if the cry ever goes up, "Give me liberty or give me decaf!"

The price of my old school Eight O'Clock coffee is going to have to have some severe increases before I give it up. I don't think my heart or brain starts working until I have that first sip in the morning.

I have to admit I love my coffee as most retired firefighters do. Until it possibly reaches $10 per cup I'm all in but may reconsider then. It's good to be a bit frugal during your working years so you don't live on Ramen Noodles and ersatz coffee in retirement.

I can give up a lot of things as I'm pretty self-disciplined but I don't think I could ever give up coffee. And I drink the basic Food Lion store brand!

It's 7:15 am.

I think that I will be in the minority here, but it takes me about 4 minutes to make a fine cup of coffee - no percolator or expensive single-serve machines.

Fill cup about 1/2 full of filtered water. Put in microwave for exactly 1 minute and 10 seconds.

Add heaping teaspoon of instant coffee and stir.

Add about 1/4 of a cup of milk. Stir.

Add about 1/4 of a cup of Irish cream. Stir.

Drink. Enjoy.

No sweat - delicious. The Irish cream kills the taste of the coffee, which is what I want it to do. Coffee smells like skunk to me anyway.

You're probably right, but you're among friends, so it's all good

You might be pushing things a little now....

Now if you mean Baileys Irish Cream, I might understand.
