I forgot about ice coffee. I might not drink coffee but I sure do like to drink half of the iced ones my wife gets. She is always on me to get my own.I used to be the same way until I discovered how much I love iced coffee. That was a game changer for me

Nothing better
Pretty sure that 8 ounces = 1 cup, so you were right the first time.
YES! Thank you for stating what should be obvious.
Yup. Many years ago National Geographic published an article on caffeine. In a sidebar article, they described the exact thing that you experience. No question that caffeine stimulates the brain. But regular use of caffeine results in a caffeine dependent brain that is less active than the brain of a person that does not regularly use caffeine in their diet. January of 2005 if you are curious.
The same article says that caffeine is one of the most addictive drugs there are, withdrawal lasting weeks

the guy without the caffeine is usually asleep at his desk so I'm not sure how his brain would be more active.
Heck with that. Give me moar!!
Espresso is not a drink it is art. Straight up, lungo, etc. Yesterday I made a mocha breve. Oh yeah.

I like coffee but I guess I will always be that unrefined coffee drinker as my Gold standard would perhaps be a fresh cup of ground black coffee sitting at my local Waffle House. I like it so much I purchased a WH coffee Cup at a thrift shop. the shape of that HW cup is all part of the experience!
I like a strong cup of "normal old school black coffee"
I like it black and strong but I am NOT a fan of dark roasted!
I remember what was it 15-20 years ago when McDonalds changed things up with its then new dark roast McWatever its called coffee. Thats about the time I stopped visiting Mc D's in the morning as that once morning coffee great smell was replaced with to me what smells like burnt coffee.
I also like Bojangles coffee as far as fast food joints. If at home a fresh brewed with Spring Water Maxwell House, Folgers or to change it up a cup of Gevalia is al I need to be happy!
I never add sugar or cream or anything to my coffee except on a rare cold winter morning in the deep South as I have enjoyed a little coffee with a big bottle of bailey's Irish cream as that can make for a jolly snow, out of school / out of work morning!
I'm not a big fan of Starbucks as its simply expensive and nothing special to me...
Its the simple things I go for, a simple black cup of old school coffee.
I once had a 80 year old aunt tha would come over and poor herself a cup of my coffee and pull from her purse a small jar of her Folgers Crystals Instant Coffee and poor a teaspoon into a cup of my brewed coffee...
Serious black coffee drinker she was...
Who needs fancy?
Nothing wrong with Cowboy Coffee I guess!

I can't stand coffee. The smell alone makes me want to vomit.
And beer is beer, right?
Not really. Coffee cups are different than Imperial cups. Coffee cups are traditionally about 5 ounces.

I've been told I look like Doogie. You wouldn't believe how offended I was!!
Anyway, Ryze is one of those mushroom coffees I'm familiar with, a few family members drink it. It's not so bad.
@shortyb It's not a black tar drink, lighter and more nutty, but it is made out real coffee, with shrooms mixed in. Apparently about 25 - 50% caffeine compared to a regular brew.
"Yes, RYZE coffee contains 100% Arabica coffee beans. It is a blend of instant organic Arabica coffee powder, which is spray-dried from roasted beans, and six types of functional mushrooms."

Ehhh, but is it REALLY coffee? Spray-dried coffee powder? I think not. I feel the same about a chickory blend too unless I'm enjoying a cup at Cafe du Monde in NOLA.
Oh, and sorry to hear about your doppleganger appearance
.
Don’t withdraw. My socially acceptable drug of choice.
I have tried this at home and somehow its nothing like having it in Nola. Must be mixing it with the beignets!
Coffee is coffee until you buy a real espresso machine
