re: I'm not a coffee drinker....should I be?

Honestly if you are trying to get into coffee and the taste is the issue, spend the money on Starbucks in the store. A tall medium roast (pike place roast) is only 2.15 and it is delicious. I've been drinking coffee every day for 12 years or so and its the best tasting in my opinion.

If u want to make it at home, like another poster said, it's all about using good filtered water and drinking the coffee fresh. If you are using a regular drip, it might take you a while to find the right balance of water and coffee grind to get the flavor you like. For coffee at home I recommend maxwell house French roast. Best store bought coffee imo

I wasn't really into it through college and grad school, mainly because I didn't want to take the time to brew anything. I think the Keurig got me into it. Try some different flavors. Reading about Community Coffee on here got me to try to some of them like Pecan Praline or Bread Pudding. They are awesome -- not sweet, just enough flavor to keep from being a bland coffee. Some of the coffee mate flavors are great, too, like girl scout thin mint and chocolate chip. Just a splash of that and some milk do the trick.

Get a coffee pot with a timer so you can do everything before you go to bed and wake up with a fresh pot.

If you have no experience making coffee at home just get some pre grinded folgers or something

I'm low maintenance though, I drink it for the effect, not the taste

Folger's Columbian isn't bad.
Dunkin Donut makes a good coffee for home brew.

I don't drink coffee because I see people that drink it everyday and some of those people "can't live without their coffee" each morning. I don't want to be like that.

That said, I figure once I have kids, I'm probably going to be a coffee drinker. But at the very least, I'm holding out as long as I can. When I do cave, I'm going to strive for drinking it black.

I do drink green tea each morning, but I don't feel any different after I do and have no problems when I'm on the road and have to drink water with my breakfast.
