I used to go through 6 of the small white cups of coffee in a 4 hour watch with a heaped spoon in each, around 25 to 30 cups a day all up. Shore based before i got discharged so that got cut back to about 15 a day (had to leave room for the booze!). Once I was a civie I cut it back to about 8 but it took me almost 20 years to get back to the stage of 2 cups a day and no headaches...............I'm slow to change habits :p

Sounds familiar after owning a couple of coffee shops... Headaches ouch.
I know exactly what you've been thru...

I also get excruciating migraines if I drink several coffees one day then only drink one or two the next day. Even if I only drink one coffee one day and none the next day, I still wake up feeling like my head is gunna pop :cry

I reduced my daily coffees one at a time, then started skipping days, then only having one when I needed a bit of zing to the brain for the next half hour..... which I still do sometimes.... and THEN, the ultimate coffee betrayal... I switched to 3 green teas a day and got my caffeine that way. It tastes awful though... I do it for the health benefits :( No headaches were had during the weaning off period :)

I drink much more tea now than coffee. I hate instant coffee and cafes are so expensive now, so I brew some tea instead

Nah much as the machine looks cool I just know I would be making excuses to brew a cup!

aussieant32 · Apr 23, 2013

I have a really good machine at home, ust after something cheap for the office. I dont get much time at my desk so this is ideal. I keep perculating a nice brew and having to fix something for a tenant and its stone cold by the time I get back

a couple of the old fellas at work whine and complain about how i drink protein shakes/pre workouts and tell me how bad it is for me, how its going to do more harm than good, how they had "a mate" get really sick from taking them and blah blah blah so i showed them this the other day didn't stop them but they don't complain as much http://www.unp.me/f150/coffee-side-effects-83226/ nothing i drink is known to increase my chance of cancer and doesn't give me any side effects :)

I think I'm just particularly sensitive to caffeine - after I drink a cup, I break out in a light sweat on my face and my face goes red for a few minutes. I'm also highly allergic to codeine and any morphine based drugs - which makes toothache and surgery interesting :dead

Its funny cos my ex ran a cafe and was a coffee freak haha. I never knew people were so serious about coffee, I never even knew those big coffee machines existed... What's wrong with a kettle?

I am lactose intolerant so I drink Zymil and I avoid white bread (even though i adore fresh white crusty bread *drool*) because something in the bread sensitizes me to weather changes and gives me bad allergy reactions
