Aloha Friday: Lack of Caffeine
Every morning, people around the world stumble out of bed and reach for that first cup of coffee. Many folks can’t make it through the day without it. I’ll admit that there are plenty of mornings when I can hardly drag myself out of bed. I’d love to grab a cup of coffee to help me wake up, but I don’t.
For some reason, I just never got into drinking coffee. It just doesn’t appeal to me. I’ve tried tea and, while I like it, the caffeine in it just doesn’t help wake me up at all. (I usually reserve tea for days when I’m sick. Tea + Honey = Soothed Sore Throat.)
Part of me feels like I’m missing out on a part of geek culture. After all, ThinkGeek has a whole section of their site devoted to all things caffeinated. I just don’t desire coffee though. Besides, not drinking coffee means that I have an excuse to nap. (Not that I get to *use* the excuse often, but the excuse is there.)
My Aloha Friday question for today is: Do you drink coffee?
BTW, the photo above is dedicated to Anissa Mayhew who I’ve often seen posting about caffeine in the morning. If I ever get the chance to meet Anissa in person, I’m buying her a big cup of coffee!

Aloha #131
I’ve been drinking coffee on and off for 30 years. Right now I’m on.
Here’s My Question

My wife doesn’t drink coffee. Never had a whole cup. Personally, I don’t know how she can force her way out of bed without knowing there’s a reward waiting a few minutes away.
Yes!! Every morning. When I was pregnant I did not drink it but had to smell it every morning 🙂

I looooooove coffee. I’m a huge coffee drinker. Especially espresso. I grew up in Anchorage which has a coffee cart for every 5 people! (I made that up, there are a lot). When I retire I want to own a coffee shop!

I don’t. My 20 year old is the only one in our house drinking it.

I’ve always loved the idea of coffee, but for years didn’t like the taste. I managed to get all the way through university without it by napping in class. Then, employment hit me like a hammer. I needed coffee to get through afternoon meetings. Eventually the taste grew on me, and now I’m hard core.
Just sat down to enjoy my first cup now. I must say coffee is my main motivator in the morning.
