It's a simple question, I'm intrigued by how people might like their caffeine.

For me, I love a chocolatey mocha; it goes down a treat, even better with company. Heading to a café for coffee is a great way to make friends too :)
 
i like it pure. recently been using 300-400mg of anhydrous caffeine in my morning juice for exercise and study.

id prefer kitchen space to connect my espresso machine but what can ya do.

i must say i hate the addictive properties of caffeine like if iv used it a few days in a row i find i wake in the morning with watery eyes, lethargy, and sometimes headache. i try to keep it only for days i need it but i tend to be a greedy fuck.
 
True about the addictive properties, laugh. It's good to space out usage, to be less prone to dependence and thus more healthy.

I'm just enjoying myself a mocha now. mmmm
 
My sister drinks mochas soul mate, pictured you as more of a latte so of a gun tbh.

If I'm going to drink those drinks it's got to be red bull, wish they were cheaper, though!
 
Since this has nothing to do with healthy lifestyle, and is technically drug talk, I'm moving it to OD.
 
Caffiene my only addiction...I like the taste of energy drinks, the simplicity of pills, and the sheer strength of a " barely legal " energy drink. Coffee is ok..but my tolerance and general dislike of anything but hot black coffee makes it difficult.
 
I'm addicted to sweet/green tea. I use to drink Dr.pepper/Coca-cola almost daily for years but switched, some times i still have huge cravings for the Dr.pepper/Coke. I also really enjoy coffee(both Cappuccino/Frappuccino) especially when i am feeling drowsing from downers, very damn tasty imo. Occasionally I like to have some Redbull, chocolate is also nice imo.
 
I prefer unflavored coffee with cream and a little sugar in the morning. In the afternoon I drink regular coca-cola or mountain dew once in a great while. I used to drink rockstar but I think that if I kept on the track, I would have diabetes by now.
I think that coffee is the best way to get caffeine into you. The pills work, but they're harsh on your stomach and I'd rather have the caffeine hit me a little more gradually by drinking something. I usually have about 4 measured cups of coffee in a day (2 large mugs).
 
i have a key ring so i can get $2 coffee's from a cafe near my work

i go for a latte if i'm feeling confident about my energy levels

or double macchiato and latte if i'm worried about getting things done that day (i take l-theanine beforehand to balance out any nervous energy from caffeine)
 
Coffee, specifically in the form of an Americano, Espresso, or Iced. But I also love teas, that would be my second choice.

And yes, I must admit, there is a very special place in my heart for Red Bulls (especially when at work on benzos), though I find most energy drinks narsty--too much sugar.

And despite my love of pills, I have never and likely will never pop a caffeine pill.
 
gold blend coffee, black, one sugar.

Don't like energy drinks... They just feel so rotten and unhealthy. Yes, I'm aware of the irony of saying that as an intravenous drug user, but there you have it.
 
Caffeine...The drug that keeps the world turning.

I guess it's kind of interesting that despite the fact that research has essentially concluded that caffeine is caffeine. Chemically it is the same methylxanthine compound in hundreds of concoctions like beverages and pills etc. Yet everyone will have a (generally strong) preference towards either coffee or tea, energy drinks or pharmaceutical tablets, and they will swear that their is some distinct quality that makes their favorite superior to the rest. And this includes me as well. Yerba mate is my number one choice because of the effects I get, in comparison to caffeine in any other form. I think it ultimately comes down to taste of course, but also metabolism and the presence or absence of other common xanthines such as theobromine and theophylline that synergize with one another, and that all function as adenosine antagonist/adenosine phosphodiesterase, GABA inhibitors etc.

We take caffeine for granted, but it's really a pretty amazing compound with a broad spectrum pharmacological profile, affecting all of the neuromodulatory systems in addition to it's primary mechanism of action adenosine blockade. I sure as hell couldn't live without it.
 
I'm a college student, so I have a strict caffeine diet to go with my other joys. I like the pills because they take the least time, and also a drink called "liquid cocaine" at our coffee shop: ice, 7 shots of espresso, 2 pumps caramel. I am also a fan of crushing the pills and mixing them into a different drink. I suggest using a flavored one, such as Gatorade.
 
I drink black tea, green tea, white tea, coffee either with milk, sugar and milk, or at very rare times black. I also enjoy espresso, mochas, and lattes. I tend to make coffee strong with beans I grind myself and instead of putting the suggested amount in of 2 Tablespoons I'll put in 3, 4, or 5 depending on the size of the cup. I used to drink soda, then got into drinking black tea, and then as a teenager and young adult I got into drinking coffee daily. I have taken caffeine pills before but it was when I was a student and a friend would have one and we would take it before an exam or morning classes since coffee, tea, and soda were not available at our school.

Ooooh ... I haven't had white tea in a long time. What a delicacy! For me, it's coffee. Something very dark ... French or Italian roast ... and made in a French press. With half-and-half. Two big cups per day -- that's it! Have to limit myself or it would be ten...

Yes white tea tastes good I had some this afternoon which tasted like pears. There's a really good type called 100 monkeys.

I also have to limit myself with coffee. I used to drink 3-5 cups but now I just am down to 1.5 or at rare times two. I like various types of coffee from Central and South America, and even Africa and Asian countries. I don't like coffee from Starbucks since it's way overpriced and they claim they use arabica beans but they use robusta since the beans are burnt and robusta beans do this since they burn at the temperatures used to roast coffee while Arabica beans do not unless you intentionally keep them in there and make them burn. I did try energy drinks at least 1 or two cans of redbull and to me it tasted like bubblegum mixed with cherry Robitussin.
