@Star2236 same but its gotta be ICE COLD. I keep my 40oz yeti in a specific propped position between mine and my husbands pillows and i drink throughout the night and GUZZLE it when i wake in the morning. I take my water with me everywhere i couldnt tell you how mamy times i refill it throughout the day. I fuss at my husband because of how little he drinks…he has a 20oz and generally drinks HALF of it and a single can of soda with dinner. No exaggeration!!! Idk how he functions!
@PurrpetualNap Sadly I do pass gas, My Tummy don’t feel good. I just have a problem processing the gas the proper way. But Hey it is better this way, No Upset tummy, No passing gas. no extra sugar & other stuff they put in the drinks. BUT I found out the hard way you can’t just drink Flavored water, you need the electrolytes. so that means GatorAid, Pedolite for Adults (they tell me I am one hehehe)
You would not want to be around me if I did start passing gas!
@mycya4me Hey we all gotta let out that extra air somehow!!!🫣 Ive just never heard of anyone having carbonation cause the toots thats all. But you ate def right, its sooooo much better for you to avoid it diet or not. I had stopped drinking sodas randomly for like 14mos(drank diet prior to that) and only had water and coffee. Then one day my evil(jk jk) child brought home a new soda that i just HAD to try and Ive been back on the bandwagon. Speaking of electrolyte drinks, did you happen to get those Prime mix sticks back in Feb? I THANKFULLY stumbled upon an ad that day and bought a box. My son has POTS and keeping his electrolytes in check is a must. I unfortunately didnt realize what an awesome place this was and paid for shipping and didnt come back for a while…but now they and all of yall are stuck with me!!!
@PurrpetualNap it cuts the bitterness. Supposedly. I don’t think it makes any difference to taste for me. And if you put sugar in your coffee you definitely won’t notice.
I think I picked it up from someone in the navy a decade+ ago. Also worked back then where we had a diner style coffee maker in the office with the pot always on the hot plate.
Trying a pinch wont hurt you lol. But most people don’t drink coffee black either
Water when I wake iced coffee with breakfast and if I’m really tired cause I didn’t sleep the night before a monster at work. Then water the rest of the day and a glass of whole milk at dinner.
@PurrpetualNap It was the Best Thing Ever™ for like three years until PepsiCo killed it off. Pepsi but nitrogen instead of CO2, so it was smooth and creamy tasting!
@capnjb Nice. We roasted some Kenyan and some Ethiopian beans yesterday. Fresh roast is the best. We have 2 local places that also roast beans a few times a week, but ours is the best.
@Star2236 Yay! I didn’t grow the beans, I just toss them in a roaster (I have two) and try not to forget about them ADHD can make coffee roasting complicated I’m happy it was family approved.
@capnjb can i PLEASE join the club? Im an avid coffee drinker(even have a grinder!) Its just not the 1st thing i have when i wake. I guzzle my ice cold dihydrogen monooxide while im brewing and before my feet even hit the floor. I love trying new coffees. I joined Atlas coffee club expecting to find something special, but for the 4 months ive had it, ive not been impressed. I saw one rule was to be around for a while and to be active. I actually found meh because a deal popped up back in feb for the prime hydration powders and i snatched those up bc my son drinks them daily. I didnt get the subscription till last month or the month before, and im just now figuring out the polls and forums. Does begging work? Please please please please please please please
I drink black coffee (multiple cups) every morning. Not because I need to wake up, but because I enjoy the taste.
I’m pretty much awake as soon as my feet hit the floor.
@chienfou Im exactly the same way. Though its not the first thing i have, i drink alot of coffee because its delicious. Caffeine doesn’t do shit for me. I can drink it before bed and not have an issue.
@PurrpetualNap
Exactly! I used to tell people that my biggest danger of drinking coffee before bed is falling asleep with a cup of my hand and burning my lap!
@kittykat9180 Exactly! The question implies that we drink something while we are asleep in order to wake up. Sleepwalking? Brewing up something hot while asleep sounds a bit terrifying.
I have to wake up, wander to the kitchen, make coffee and wait for it to brew, have some water while I wait, then have coffee to sweep out that last bits of fuzz in my brain.
You just did. The only requirements are that you’ve been around here for a bit and are active in the forums. Also, you need to be patient AF because sometimes I send coffee four times a month and sometimes I send one package every two months Whisper me your address and you can join the queue
But just remember we have only two rules…
Rule #1: I don’t like the post office, so you get it when you get it.
and
Rule #7: Reciprocity is frowned upon.
Also, you just need to let me know if you have a coffee grinder. If so, I’ll send whole beans, if not, I’ll grind the day I ship.
And don’t tell anyone about the Secret-Not-So-Secret coffee club. We don’t need a Black Friday situation here
I’ve been caffeine-free since ‘93, but occasionally I like a citrusy-flavored sparkling water in the morning. Target’s house brand has a yuzu-mandarin flavor I really like, or several brands have a grapefruit flavor.
@foresmac SACRILEGE!!!
Monster has a newer flavor, in partnership with F1 Driver Lando Norris, that is supposed to be yuzu/melon… when i tried it ( I’ll give almost anything a go once) it just came off REALLY perfume-y, and off putting… couldn’t finish the can…
@foresmac I was caffeine-free for several years, so I drank decaf coffees. I don’t get why so many people seem to think that decaf coffee is awful. Peet’s has some excellent decafs as do other good roasters. Peet’s Decaf Major Dickason’s Blend and Decaf Sumatra are my favorites and I keep one of them around for late afternoon and evening espresso.
I make a cappuccino as soon as I get up – my espresso machine is on a timer, so it’s warmed up by the time I get up – then often an espresso a couple of hours later.
Water
@Star2236 Yeah me too.
@Star2236 same but its gotta be ICE COLD. I keep my 40oz yeti in a specific propped position between mine and my husbands pillows and i drink throughout the night and GUZZLE it when i wake in the morning.

I fuss at my husband because of how little he drinks…he has a 20oz and generally drinks HALF of it and a single can of soda with dinner. No exaggeration!!! Idk how he functions!
Why was water not an option?
@CocoBeanss IKR!?!
Water to take my Pils. Plus I have a bottle sitting by my bed to take a Sip during the Middle of the night.
Plus during the day I try to drink either a GatorAid/ Pedolyte for the electrolytes that you need!
I don’t do Coffee,Tea, energy drink or even Soda (I can’t it give me gas & it comes out the wrong way/end)
@mycya4me soda makes u fart? Ive never heard of that
@PurrpetualNap Sadly I do pass gas, My Tummy don’t feel good. I just have a problem processing the gas the proper way.

WORKER BEES! HERCULES! TURKEY GREASE! AWESOME!
Coffee. Black. Hot.
Maybe some salt if its yesterday’s coffee
Really the flaw here is assuming I sleep .
But thanks for alerting me tbe calendar rolled.
And yes if I ever have kids they will see TNG. And I will bother them with this phrase it till I die. As only a good father would
@unksol why salt in coffee? Just curious…
@PurrpetualNap it cuts the bitterness. Supposedly. I don’t think it makes any difference to taste for me. And if you put sugar in your coffee you definitely won’t notice.
I wouldn’t take anything in this article as fact/well studied but

A hot shower. Other fluids do not help.
@hchavers
I totally get that one!


I’ve been a morning shower person since I was 9! And when it mattered, showering happened BEFORE COFFEE!
The only thing that doesn’t make sense here with this question is that I don’t “drink” it!

Lol
@hchavers @Lynnerizer but I function better w/o Coffee, soda or tea… give me Dihydrogen mono oxide, hold the rocks.
@hchavers @Lynnerizer @mycya4me noooooooo Dihydrogen monooxide MUST be super cold!!!
@hchavers @Lynnerizer @PurrpetualNap Maybe for you… I prefer Room temp! then I can guzzle. it!
Water when I wake iced coffee with breakfast and if I’m really tired cause I didn’t sleep the night before a monster at work. Then water the rest of the day and a glass of whole milk at dinner.
Sometimes coffee, sometimes Mountain Dew Baja Blast. It USED to be Nitro Pepsi…RIP.
@PooltoyWolf ive never heard of nitro Pepsi
@PurrpetualNap It was the Best Thing Ever™ for like three years until PepsiCo killed it off. Pepsi but nitrogen instead of CO2, so it was smooth and creamy tasting!
@PurrpetualNap Bless the mediocre gods for having a format that actually properly displays the trademark! Just discovered that and it made me smile.
The blood of virgins.
@chuckf1 seriously? Don’t tell them about Adrenochrome… I was just reheating some pizza. FFS!
@chuckf1 so where do find that? Is their a virgin blood bank?
@mycya4me Costco, of course. Where else.
Something went terribly wrong. Please try again.
@mediocrebot Why do you hate the word virgins? This list is not even remotely G rated or even PG rated.
@chuckf1
/showme chuckf1 as a vampire drinking blood
Something went terribly wrong. Please try again.
@mediocrebot WTF?
@chuckf1 I have never seen it. Yes I look for weird stuff!
@Kidsandliz @mediocrebot hmmmm …
/showme chuckf1 as a vampire is winking and drinking glass of tomato juice.
@cfg83 Here’s the image you requested for “chuckf1 as a vampire is winking and drinking glass of tomato juice.”
Black coffee and Copenhagen
The correct answer around here is: My coffee
Roasting today. @pmarin is next on the list
But rule #1… you will get it when you get it 
@capnjb Nice. We roasted some Kenyan and some Ethiopian beans yesterday. Fresh roast is the best. We have 2 local places that also roast beans a few times a week, but ours is the best.
@capnjb
Served at my Mother’s Day brunch and my coffee snob brother (he worked on a farm in Columbia roasting coffee) thought it was really good.
@Star2236 Yay! I didn’t grow the beans, I just toss them in a roaster (I have two) and try not to forget about them
ADHD can make coffee roasting complicated
I’m happy it was family approved.
@capnjb can i PLEASE join the club? Im an avid coffee drinker(even have a grinder!) Its just not the 1st thing i have when i wake.

@PurrpetualNap
If that’s how you spell water, I can probably make an exemption.
Definitely not today’s meh offering!!

I just open my eyes.

@rockblossom So there is this club you should join
@capnjb @rockblossom you keep saying, but how does one join?
@capnjb Sleepwalkers Anonymous? Do they have a dress code for meetings?
@capnjb @rockblossom “Come as you are”?
@brainmist So I’m allowed to sleepdrive to the meeting in my jammies and fuzzy slippers?
@brainmist
You just did.
The only requirements are that you’ve been around here for a bit and are active in the forums. Also, you need to be patient AF because sometimes I send coffee four times a month and sometimes I send one package every two months

@rockblossom I’m certainly not going to stop you!
@brainmist
trust me … you will glad you didn’t!

Coffee first, then energy drink, these days usually Grape Ghost.
I make a cappuccino as soon as I get up – my espresso machine is on a timer, so it’s warmed up by the time I get up
– then often an espresso a couple of hours later.
This morning I tried coffee with a bit of my hot honey. It wasn’t bad, but also not my best decision
