I dunno. I drink coffee because it good.

  Home roast, decent grinder, and a press pot... Doesn't get much better... While I do drink coffee for the caffeine (and experience withdrawal symptoms without it), a substantial motivation is that I simply enjoy the flavor of a properly made cup of coffee.

    "a press pot" Try a Chemex: http://www.chemexcoffeemaker.com/ http://www.chemexcoffeemaker.com/ . It's not as bitter.

      An Aeropress is awesome, too. Cheap ($25), easy to clean, makes fantastic coffee.

        I didn't see it mentioned in the thread, so here's coffee's HN equivalent: http://coffeegeek.com/forums http://coffeegeek.com/forums

    When I stopped drinking caffeinated coffee, I lost my taste for coffee, but developed a great interest in tea.

      Caffeine addiction transference?

        It's like methadone. I quit coffee every once in a while and it usually takes a couple of days to return to normal functioning. The tea helps. BTW there are some interesting coffee documentaries shown occasionally on the tube (available on Netflix too).

  Must be like the broccoli thing - some folks like it, some can't stand it. I can't stand coffee, and have absolutely no idea what people are talking about when they rave over its flavor.

  Same. It's nice to have something warm and tasty to sip on in the morning after getting to work. Makes that first hour of the day more pleasant. It's kinda strange though...I almost never drink coffee on the weekend. It never crosses my mind after I wake up on weekends. Where as in the morning, before work, I can't wait to get in and start drinking my coffee.
