    I never drink coffee when I work and never have - is it just for the caffeine rush ? If you need it for inspiration / stamina - you need to kick back - I obviously have too much time on my hands :-D

      Much more than that! It's impossible to explain it to a non-believer. It's the very essence of life for a coder! :-D

      Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!

          I like the taste, but it's also the caffeine rush. Too much makes me more easily agitated though.

                    Coffee is one the the Drinks Of The Gods - Gin'n'Tonic is the other - but the only one that doesn't get you arrested for driving after drinking it. It helps you focus, plus stay awake in meetings!

                      Turkish coffee for the workday, Irish coffee for the weekend - both are drinks of the gods! :) Seriously, coffee gives the the extra push during the workday. Mixed with alcohol, it mellows me (but keeps me moderately alert) on the weekend.

                        I'll only drink it until I need glasses. :)

                        If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

                            I used to despise coffee until I worked night shift for about a year. It never seemed to matter how much sleep I had gotten, that early morning crash was going to come in hard. Picked up coffee to try and make finishing a shift easier. Ultimately ended up finding a taste for it, to the point where I like to explore different coffee blends. Oh, and it must be hot coffee. Get out of here with that iced nonsense. :laugh:

                                  I don't get it either. People boast about how much they "need" (are addicted) to a drug. Why is that something to boast about?!! :omg: Most developers I have worked with do not drink coffee, which was a surprise to me. I had expected most would.

                                          I never drink coffee when I work and never have - is it just for the caffeine rush ? If you need it for inspiration / stamina - you need to kick back - I obviously have too much time on my hands :-D

                                          Coffee is one of the essential food groups, not consumed on a regular basis it causes dingbautulus which is akin to scurvy and although not fatal can cause a severe craving to listen to Justin Bieber music.
