No contest, It has to be coffee, the real stuff, Either Dalmayer, or Eilles from Germany, freshly made , at least  1 Ltr, strong and black, This administered first thing every morning is enough to save other peoples lives, or at least prevent my teethmarks from being displayed on their shins , Visitors are advised not come near me untill I have had the first hour of the day on my own with my coffee .Nothing else will do.

Brilliant.........albeit,

Tizaala.........if I may ask (without running the risk of any teeth marks!).....have you tried it?!

Deepinthewoods........my cocktail brings more clarity than coffee I kid you not.....and ACV is packed with fibre but I don't need to elaborate on that point!

pheonix......I'm loving your use of coffee as a vice......we all need a vice (or 2,3 ,4!)

Honestly, it makes me feel so good that I'm thinking of changing my email to....Iam@onewithmyself!!!

Im funny...as soon as I get up, I have 2 cups of coffee, black and strong without sugar, then as soon as Ive eaten anything, I cant drink coffee anymore, it just doesnt taste the same. For the rest of the day, I drink water 'cos Ive really gone off tea.

I drink coffee by the bucketfull , but not the real stuff , i only do instant , tesco classic @ £2.19 for 200g .
Although i go through 15-20 cups a day , i do drink it very weak .
Can't stand the real stuff though , yuk !
I do the acv thing as well to a degree . I mix 6 garlic cloves , crushed and chopped , with 6 teaspoons of acv , 4 teaspoons of lemon juice and 1 big tablespoon of honey , mixed well .
2 teaspoons 3-4 times a day .
I like tea as well , but it works out to dear for me .

I love real good quality coffee and am often disappointed with the brands I buy but sometimes actually get one I love.......I love the coffee a local hotel make, its in Airth and although the place is a bit posh for me in my stinking dog walking stuff and dirty  boots, its actually good value, 2 cups each and 2 home made shortbread biccies each, forget how much but def less than £5.......I now make a jug of coffee around 11 and sometimes warm more up later and again another after our evening meal but due to last night eating late, the late night coffee kept me awake for hours :innocent: :innocent:
 
Funny, I cannot drink it first thing and not keen on instant coffee,.,not a lot of people like my sugarless fag end stuff but I do ::)

I found instant coffe a false economy as it never satisfied. Making a cafetiere was often a waste. I got a Bosch one cup coffe maker that takes Tassimo cartridges (carte Noir, Lorrenzo, Grand Mere, Kenco and chocolates too)  for my last birthday.
It is more expensive way to make real coffee (less waste though) but they do a great range and I can choose between espresso or a cafe longe ( usually Carte Noir) depending upon time of day. The decaf espresso is reserved for "post dinner". My brother and sister have since purchased a Bosch coffee maker since their holiday with me.

i have a saucepan on the cooker/burner, it gets emptied weekly and topped up with fresh grounds daily. you have to slice it into your cup. i dont drink it after 11am cos id never get to sleep, but boy am i productive during the day. sundays i dont have coffee, unless ive had a heavy saturday.
