I'm always amazed at people base their coffee consumption on taste
rather than to feed the addiction as God intended.  

 

That reminds me of the guy I used to work with that was an ex-Army
officer.  I often saw him come in Monday morning and drink the remains
of a cup he had been drinking on Friday afternoon.
