"Most folks who resolved to cut down on coffee this year are driven by the simple desire for self-improvement. But for coffee drinkers in 17th century Turkey, there was a much more concrete motivating force: a big guy with a sword. Sultan Murad IV, a ruler of the Ottoman Empire, would not have been a fan of Starbucks. Under his rule the consumption of coffee was a capital offense."

"The sultan was so intent on eradicating coffee that he would disguise himself as a commoner and stalk the streets of Istanbul with a hundred-pound broadsword. Unfortunate coffee drinkers were decapitated as they sipped. Murad IV's successor was more lenient. The punishment for a first offense was a light cudgeling. Caught with coffee a second time, the perpetrator was sewn into a...

"Perhaps the bawdiest argument against coffee was "The Womens [sic] Petition Against Coffee," published in England in 1674. Brimming with innuendos that would make Shakespeare blush, the six page manifesto blamed coffee for every type of impotence. Monarchs and tyrants publicly argued that coffee was poison for the bodies and souls of their subjects, but Mark Pendergrast — author of Uncommon Grounds: The History of Coffee and How It Transformed Our World — says their real concern was political."

This is interesting since coffee drinking/coffee houses (cafes) were started off by the Ottomans (i really hate this word, lol, it's not even remotely Turkish)

Desperation is resorting to using brown sugar in your coffee.

Actually I use brown sugar in my coffee occasionally. I like the taste. Desperation is trying to use powdered sugar in coffee, which ruins the coffee, btw. Good morning, Kelli!
- Friar Will (:^)
Ugh, powdered sugar, Will? That definitely sounds vile. LOL Good morning!
- Kelli H.
Desperation is resorting to Splenda. I hate the taste.
- AJ Batac :)
Splenda is horrible, AJ. I don't have any in my possession to use in times of desperation, thankfully.
- Kelli H.
You're *supposed* to use brown sugar in coffee :)
- Pete
I was truly desperate, Kelli. Then I was horrified.
- Friar Will (:^)
i don't mind Splenda in hot tea. other than that, forget the stuff.
- Joe The Sausage
Wahts wrong with Brown Sugar ? It justthe same taste.. once it disolves !!
- Peter Dawson
my new favorite is palm sugar in coffee.
- tiffany
I don't think it's the same taste at all, Peter. I love it oatmeal. Coffee? Not so much. tiffany, I don't think I have ever tried palm sugar before.
- Kelli H.
I'd think powdered sugar would work well. I like the taste of brown sugar but find I have to put more in to get the same sweetness (I try not to use real sugar in my drinks anymore, though. I use Splenda.)
- Spidra Webster
I like raw sugar in coffee, but I don't think I've ever tried it with brown sugar (the kind that's packaged for baking, anyway).
- John (bird whisperer)
Raw sugar is what I prefer, John. :)
- Kelli H.
by raw, i assume you mean unrefined? i like honey too.
- Halil
Halil, I actually mean turbinado sugar (called “demerara sugar” in the UK, apparently), which is partially refined, but called “raw sugar” colloquially. I don't like honey in coffee, but I like it in tea. Agave nectar is also a nice sugar substitute. :)

LOL, Stephan. I make very, very strong coffee. The camera's flash altered the color a bit- it's just like caramel.

Coffee with caramel, that sounds very sweet.

It would be! I'm just referring to the color. ;)

Sorry, I misunderstood. I was suffering from a coffee deficiency.

"Coffee: In moderation, I consider coffee to be a pretty potent health food. Coffee beans are actually the seeds inside a bright red berry, which is sometimes called a coffee cherry. Like nearly all plant based foods, both the berries and the seeds are rich in antioxidants. In fact a recent study found that java is the No. 1 source of antioxidants in the American diet. That may be one of the reasons its consumption is linked to a lower rate of a number of diseases. A recent study that followed a Native American population for more than seven years, where the prevalence of diabetes was between 40 and 70 percent, found that people with the highest coffee intakes had a 67 percent lower risk of developing diabetes compared to non coffee drinkers. Other research shows that compared to non-coffee drinkers, those who indulge are likely to experience a lower risk of colon cancer, liver cirrhosis, gallstones, and Parkinson's.

"Tea: I adore tea – black, green, white, oolong, hot, iced, spiced – so I’m thrilled that it’s such an amazing superfood. Studies show that tea is tied to better bone density, slower bone loss, a stronger immune system and a reduction in belly fat. Regular tea drinkers also have a 20 to 30 percent lower risk of heart disease and 40 to 60 percent lower risk of stroke, probably because...

The first sip of coffee I promptly spat out when I was 5 years old. I didn't understand how my Mom could drink such a foul beverage. I took up coffee drinking as a teenager as part of an end scene in all-night mosh/raves/parties. My cups were filled with more sugar and cream than coffee, I think. As I got older, I used less cream and sugar....

and drank more coffee. After I started drinking more specialty coffee, it became increasingly more difficult to drink shite coffee. When I was an undergrad, I worked as a barista and that changed everything about how I viewed coffee. It became less of a beverage and more of an important part of my life. Hence my typical user name, taoofcoffee. I appreciate a good cup of coffee or espresso like some can appreciate a fine wine or cigar.

There was a time in my life when I was given medical advice to stop drinking coffee and I just couldn't give it up. I can't imagine not having that magical brew as part of my daily life. :) #SaturdayFF

My grandma gave me coffee in a sippy cup. I've been drinking it ever since.

I was hooked on the stuff by a very cute friend whom I fell in love with. She since quit. I still both live on it and resent it. I razz her about it every time I see her.

@jason: I also started drinking coffee because of my girlfriend. She had since stopped drinking as well, and I still continue to this day...
