    Kind of a coffee snob. Wouldn't touch instant unless sobrang desperate na (sorry doesn't mean squat, just me)

    But anyway, black coffee 1-2 cups a day. 3 cups rarely. Any more than that then meron 'ahem' na from the wife.

    *Cathy: Ever tried cold-brew? Significantly less acid for your stomach. Palpitations though...

    No. I don't wanna go back to drinking coffee. I've become very caffeine sensitive. If I take coffee in the afternoon, I will be awake until the next morning.

    Have you tried coffee pods? It makes me want to drink coffee again. hehe. What do you think about Starbucks? I don't like it because it tastes over roasted/burnt for me. My coffee drinker friends like UCC and Figaro among the coffee chains.

    eto good news

    3 to 5 Cups of Coffee a Day May Lower Risk of Heart Attacks

    Good news for people who drink coffee every day: Consuming a moderate amount of coffee could lower the risk of clogged arteries that can lead to a heart attack, a new study finds.
    The study of healthy young adults in Korea found that, compared with people who didn't drink coffee, those who drank three to five cups of java per day had a lower risk of having calcium deposits in their coronary arteries, which is an indicator of heart disease. (The coronary arteries are the vessels that bring oxygenated blood to the heart muscle itself.)
    The study participants who drank three to four cups had the lowest risk of developing clogged arteries seen in the study, said Dr. Eliseo Guallar, an epidemiologist at Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore, Maryland, and co-author of the study published today (March 2) in the journal Heart.
    "But the risk went down with just one cup per day," compared with the risk of people who drank no coffee, Guallar added.
    Still, the researchers stopped short of recommending that people drink coffee to prevent heart disease. [Coffee's Perks: Studies Find 5 Health Benefits]
    Coffee and heart disease
    It was once thought that drinking coffee could make you more prone to heart attacks, but a growing body of evidence suggests the habit has a neutral or beneficial effect on cardiovascular health.
    A previous analysis of 36 studies found that moderate coffee consumption was associated with a lower risk of heart disease, and other studies have found a link between drinking coffee and a reduced risk of type 2 diabetes. However, the caffeinated beverage has also been linked to increased LDL cholesterol (the so-called "bad" cholesterol) and increased blood pressure (but this effect diminishes as people build up a tolerance).
    In the new research, Guallar and colleagues at the Kangbuk Samsung Hospital in Seoul, South Korea, studied more than 25,000 men and women who underwent routine examinations. The participants had no signs of heart disease, and their average age was 41 at the study's start.
    The participants completed questionnaires about their eating and drinking habits (including coffee consumption), and underwent a computed tomography (CT) scan to determine their levels of coronary artery calcium (CAC).
    CAC is a sign of coronary artery disease, or atherosclerosis, which increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, especially heart attacks, Guallar said. "You can have the disease for many years without symptoms," he told Live Science, adding, "Now with this technique, we can know if people have the disease way before they have symptoms."
    The researchers compared people's CAC levels with their amount of coffee consumption, classified as one cup a day, one to three cups a day, three to five cups a day and at least five cups a day. They also took into account factors such as physical activity, smoking, BMI and how much fruit, vegetables and red meat people ate.

    I've never tried pods except one time I got to taste a cup from a Nespresso machine. Taste was a bit light IIRC. Still can't give a sound judgement based on that. Dolce Gusto on the other hand, I've been told to stay away from. Bottom line, don't want to be tied to a particular type of pod so haven't seriously considered these. But I could see the appeal...

    (Prepared) Starbucks for me is the standard 'ok' coffee. Their beans are great though for home machines especially if newly opened. I do notice the over-roasted tones as well, so I go for light to medium roasts.

    Figaro I've shunned since my younger days because of pre-sweetened/over-sweetened lattes. Maybe I should go try them again?

    UCC = good coffee, unsatisfying serving size, hehe.

    Tried drinking two percolator full(ten cups each) before going to graveyard shift and still felt sleepy. Did this for two consecutive nights and the day after, while driving from Virginia beach back to Norfolk naval base, it felt like I was driving with the car upside down

    nung college ako yung nescafe na 15pesos nauubos ko ng isang araw.
    i have since shifted to brewed mga 2 years ago nung napansin ko na mataas sugar intake ko.
    dati since flexi ung time sa work, nagbabaon lang ako ng binuro sa bahay, pero lately since fixed na mornings ang shift, try niu na rin
    yung brewed coffee sa mcdo na 40 pesos large cup (350ml)
    free refill, kahit anung oras within the day mo balikan.
