    Never drank coffee, ever. Never drank tea, ever. Never drank alcohol, ever. I used to live of fizzy drinks, but now I subsist on water only. (well most of the time) I have a great life don't I? :~ Roger Allen Sonork 100.10016 Death come early, death come late, It takes us all, there is no reason. For every purpose under heaven, To each a turn, to each a season. A time to weep and a time to sigh, A time to laugh and a time to cry, A time to be born and a time to die. Dust to dust and ashes to ashes, And so I end my song.

    I concur with Paul. Why have you been torturing yourself so? Did you lose a bet? Or are you a fitness freak? Regards, Rohit Sinha Browsy

      More important question: Has anyone ever squeezed the filter (with the grounds) to get those last few drops of preciousness? not that i have of course, it's just a hypothetical question, i mean, anyone who would do that would be mad, although there could be awfully good reasons for doing something like that - why are you looking at me like that? i didnt say i did that! you're always attacking that which you dont understand - no, i'm not being defensive, alright, maybe i am being defensive... ;) Jeremy Kimball

                Heh. I am so in trouble when it comes to coffee. I have Starbucks brought into the office that can be made anytime, a starbucks in the lobby of the building and an Aribica across the street. Someone is trying to tell me something... :P Mark Conger Sonork:100.28396

                    mmmm... Starbucks Americano.... I love reading headlines about coffee's cancer-preventing properties. Makes it that much more enjoyable to drink it.

                      My taste buds never grew up enough to appreciate much more than very milky coffee. I do enjoy tea, horlicks and hot chocolate at both work and home however. Also, do Starbucks Iced Mocha Fraps count as coffee? :-O

                                        I donot drink tea or coffee either. Of the two I prefer coffee, just in case I decide to have a cup. I generally kept off from the two just cos I did not want to make a habit. Once during aclient meeting, the client guy was so shocked at me not having tea. Asked me: how I live without tea. later hecorrected his question to: why I live without tea :-D Smitha Every person, all the events of your life, are there because you have drawn them there.

                                          What is it that you call 'filter coffee'? I make coffee every morning from freshly ground beans, placed in a paper filter, and drowned in hot water. Instant coffees are a poor substitute for the real thing, and unfortunately most coffee vending machines today use instant powders which taste only slightly like real coffee. When I was a kid, servicing vending machines with my grandpa, the coffee machines actually made real coffee. A spool of filter paper was fed into the bottom of a mixing bowl, coffee grounds were dropped into the bowl, and hot water was pumped into the bowl to make a cup of real, fresh-brewed coffee. Today the machines just dump fake coffee powder into the cup and add water - such a waste! "Your village called -
