I'm trying to convert to tea. I've got Chai or something with me right now, but it's too damn sweet. It just doesn't have the kick a mug of black coffee does, you know? It's infuriating, I tell ya. All of my suffering is due to the complete refusal of the American populace to switch over to alternative fuels. (Windmills: an aesthetic monster, and more deadly to avian creatures than factories? Bitches, please.) The coffee supply isn't meeting global demand as is (do note that Americans also put in more work hours than European counterparts), but now that even the transportation costs of coffee are going up, again, due to our reliance on gas, the price of a mere cacao bean is skyrocketing. Not to mention our shaky economic status. How much would I pay for a glass of coffee? At this point, should I try to cultivate my own cacao trees?
I'm more than willing to convert to a greener lifestyle if it means I can have a good cuppa in the morning, and already am. I hate waking up; coffee is the only thing that makes anything worth it.
The reasoning behind my name selection should be obvious to Phoenix Wright fans: Godot is a fellow who understands my motivations, and well. I swore I capitalised it upon registration.
Nice to meet you.

Well! Nice to meet you too, good sir, madam...Ahh, I don't know. That was one interesting introduction.
I drink tea myself. With sugar, without sugar, it's all the same to me; I just think tea is so much more tasty. Haha.
Try something like...Vanilla Hazelnut. That tea was delicious. Though if you're looking for more of a kick I'd suggest something like yerba mate or ginseng or some other root...Ginseng without sugar is very bitter!
Welcome to the boards. I thought I spied a Phoenix Wright fan.

Welcome Gogot; correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm guessing you are a guy.
Have a good stay here...
I prefer Irish Cream Coffee with EXTRA sugar, myself. I love sweat coffee.

Ah, I'll bet you're getting that instant stuff. They add the sugar to that in advance. I hate it. It tastes like you're drinking a cup of sugar. Trust me, get the spiced chai bags, much better.

Gah! Instant stuff needs wayyyyyyy more sugar than what it has. Coffee must be 1/2 sugar, 1/3 coffee, 1/4 creamer, the rest... ICE CUBES!

wtf, Iodine. Coffee, especially coffee from Italy... and expressos... should be taken plain, without sugar. Mmm, I take my double-expressos without any sugar or cream. What can I say? Italy spoiled me.

I like you. I'm teh Donut, one-time adamant drinker of tea, until college life caught up to me and I discovered energy drinks. I prefer green or white teas, plain, straight, and with nothing in them. Absolutely despise cold teas...all drinks should be taken hot, except for milk, water, and juice. Then again, hot milk...yummy... Can't see how anyone can drink coffee; it does nothing for me besides make me want to rinse my mouth with Listerine. I can get the same kick from three cups of tea, and a nice peaceful sit-down to boot. Ah well, to each his own. Anywho, enjoy, have fun, and be sure to drink all of EJP's hooch.

You just need the proper cup, Donut. Come down through Springfield and visit the Potter's House. They're privately owned, but you won't get better coffee ANYWHERE.

Coffee, tea, whatever it is, it's best frozen or cold.

Didn't you die from crying blood? Or did you come back in Apollo Justice?

I went to a local teahouse and discovered 'Caramel Roobios Awakening Tea,' it's part coffee, so naturally I fell in love with it. While a bit sweet for my tastes, the coffee makes me quite satisfied with this product. Who knows, I might go for straight Roobios next time. I almost did try Yerba Mate, there was an organic version only though, and it was a few cents more expensive. I'm ruthless when it comes to saving money, though I suppose the first post makes that obvious.
Also Rykua, to be fair, Italians generally make good food products all around. I had to restrain myself from attacking each Gelateria I saw, dear god that stuff was good.
Subtle: I haven't played Apollo Justice yet, but yes, copious amounts of blood spilled forth.
And, thanks everyone for the warm welcome. I'll try to put forth the initiative it takes to be active.

Damn it! GO figure I knew you from somewhere else, considering no one here calls me Rykua.
Go figure I read this post AFTER you tell me on AIM who you are. ....... ;_;
>.<... then again, Iodine/Veros calls me Flame on other message boards.
So, how'd you find THIS board? You stalked me to the last one you joined with me. =P... did you stalk Veros this time? Or did you stalk me yet again? M'dear, this game of cat-and-mouse ruins our marriage under the laws of the Perfect in P's Utopia.
Harlot.

It's a secret I'll take with me to the grave. Also technically, I stalked an image the last time.
