    I live in Ireland and i drink about 2-3 cups a day.Just because i like the taste and the caffeine effect, but maybe that's just me.

    I cannot give an accurate account of my coffee consumption perday. what i can tell you is that Tim Horton's is not far away and when my trash meets the curb, it is predominately coffee cups that are about a foot tall :)
    i did a calculation to draw my wifes attention to our expenditures and coffee came in at about 3 grand a year

    I miss Tim Horton's. Damn great coffee, indeed. I often brought back a big can of ground coffee when I went to Canada, or had Canadian friends ship me a tin.

    Really? Hmm I guess it's personal tastes. To me it's like drinking pure nicotine. But it is extremely popular so who am I to judge.

    Side note, if I need something shipped from Europe, I'll exchange the shipping costs with you with tins of Timmy's. :wink:

    My wife is Canadian, (Eh!) and I have to agree, I don't really understand the hype.

    I drink it from time to time but really need to stop it since the cockroaches cause sneezing due to the allergies... Also, the caffeine headaches just suck in late afternoon.

    Lol. Surprised to read it, but not that surprised to be honest. I know the same happens with tobacco, with beetles getting in-between the dry leaves. Since there's no way to get them out, they simply are tossed in with the leaves. The leaves basically are first frozen to somewhere ridiculously cold (I believe -200 C if I'm not mistaking), and then very quickly heated up. This process causes the leaves (and the bugs) to neatly disintegrate into the small little strips you find in your cigarettes.

    I used to work at Tim Horton's back when i was younger and it was free...used to drink so much i'd be in bed at night, wide awake and my body vibrating...lol
    After i was always good for 6-12 cups a day...since i quit smoking...1-3 a day....not the same without the cigs for me. (that's a good thing. :biggrin:)

    That was always my belief that smokers love Timmy's due to the similar tastes. Lol again I have drank my fair share of the stuff and I'm not a smoker. After trying the real stuff, I can't go back unless I'm in dire need of the caffeine. Thankfully I never get that far. :johnbates::biggrin:

    I used to work in a bar in my early twenties. Never had issues falling asleep, though getting home was problematic every now and then :D Also, I had to go sideways through doors to ensure my liver would make it through.

    Probably 3 - 5 I tend to try and do a tea once or twice and also if I'm feeling like I've had 3 I'll switch to decaff.

    ;) you are asking the wrong kind of ppl .. all ppl sitting in front of computers a lot are "known" to drink a hell lot of coffee ;-) :-D

    at work I do drink some cafe latte though, because I can have a warm drink for only 10cents
