Thursday Thirteen (TT#38)
![]() |
1. You have to set up your coffee pot the night before so you can get up in the morning. 2. You’re more likely to arrive at work NAKED than without a cup of coffee in hand. 3. You special order your beans. 5. You buy filtered water to make the best cup possible. 6. You daydream about Cadillac coffee machines. 7. You’d love to travel to a coffee planation to see how the beans are picked and roasted. 8. When traveling, you take your own beans. 9. Without a cup of coffee ASAP in the morning, you turn into the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. 10. Simply THINKING about cutting out caffeine gives you a headache. 11.You could fall asleep with a cup of coffee in your hand. 12. The thought of Folgers makes you violent. 13. You’re ashamed to admit how many pounds of coffee you actually drink each month.

Heh, make that tea, and you’re describing me! Only my favorite place to order tea from vanished from the web several years back. (And since they were called “WebTea.com,” that kinda means they are gone, gone, gone…)
August 29th, 2007 at 7:31 pm
Same here, I prefer tea. Coffee keeps me awake. Do you really bring your own coffee when you travel?
This is my very first TT post and visit. ^-^
August 29th, 2007 at 7:35 pm
Wow, babe. I didn’t know you were THIS die-hard.
Although I think it’s cool that you order from two different places.
Happy TT!

I like tea too, but coffee is my addiction!
ECL, yes, I really have ground up my own beans and taken them with me. I’ve even taken a bag of beans with me when visiting family (when I knew they had a grinder).

Have you tried the snack bars that Caribou Coffee makes? Quite yummy, and available at the grocery store.
(Mine’s not up yet, sigh- I can’t think of what to list).
August 29th, 2007 at 8:23 pm
I’m with you for the most part, except falling asleep drinking coffee. No way. I have to stop drinking it at least 4 hours before bedtime. LOL!
Happy TT!
August 29th, 2007 at 8:25 pm
I’m with you on numbers 1, 5, 10, 11 and most especially #12!
August 29th, 2007 at 8:27 pm
I’m with you on the majority of these. Good idea for a T13. You’ve made me just crave a cup right now . . .
August 29th, 2007 at 9:09 pm
Ohhhhhhhh, this SO fits my DBF. He drinks that stuff all day. Im good with a couple cups in the morning. Great list. It made me laugh:)
August 29th, 2007 at 9:10 pm
Don’t forget measuring water temperature for the pour-through method: Joy of Cooking said that 200- to 205 degrees is the ideal temperature range to extract flavor without excess acidity.
August 29th, 2007 at 9:26 pm
This list sound very familiar……yes, it sounds just like my dear husband!
He is a huge coffee drinker/ addict!
Great List!
Happy T13!
August 29th, 2007 at 9:49 pm
Both hubby and I are coffee addicts — we joke that we don’t even have blood; that it’s coffee which runs in our veins!
Happy T13!
August 29th, 2007 at 10:19 pm
I’m not really a coffee drinker, but this list would totally fit my roommate back in college. Our house always smelled like a Starbucks! LOL
August 29th, 2007 at 10:51 pm
My addiction isn’t coffee. It’s tea (for hot drinks) and Pepsi for other caffeine drinks.
August 29th, 2007 at 10:55 pm
You make me feel like a barbarian! I occasionally drink instant decaf, and I call it coffee.
August 29th, 2007 at 11:05 pm
Caffine of choice Coke…I needs me Coke!
August 29th, 2007 at 11:31 pm
Sooo familiar!
August 29th, 2007 at 11:54 pm
There’s no “might” about it. I AM addicted to coffee and have no desire to be cured.
August 30th, 2007 at 12:08 am
What do you do, stay up to post Thursday on Wed night! LOL! Where’s my bat.
I am a tea addict. Fred is the coffee addict. He cannot function without it.
August 30th, 2007 at 1:52 am
I’m definitely not a coffee drinker, the smell alone makes my lungs close up. So you can have my share of coffee in this life.
Entertaining list though, happy TT.
August 30th, 2007 at 7:51 am
I just get it.
I drank a cup of coffee for the first time in six years this week, and that’s all I could think. What’s the big deal? hehehe
Today’s post is “thirteen classes I wish colleges offered”.
August 30th, 2007 at 8:28 am
I donate my share of coffee. I kinda like iced cappuccino, though.
August 30th, 2007 at 8:35 am
Right with you.
I’ll add “that you drink iced coffee as your cold drink of choice all summer long”.
Happy TT.

So I wanted to say Congrats! on your sweating when I noticed my last comment reads incorrectly. I, of course, meant to say “I don’t get it.”
But, CONGRATS on your sweating. Great numbers.
I need to get back on the ball. -.-
August 30th, 2007 at 12:57 pm
LOL I thought I was bad.
August 30th, 2007 at 1:11 pm
Wow, I thought I was bad until I read this!
August 30th, 2007 at 1:37 pm
My ex-boyfriend used to use caffeinated water to make his coffee.
August 30th, 2007 at 2:10 pm
Yup, you’ve got it bad. I actually gave up coffee a couple of years ago and man was it hard! It took me months to recover.
August 30th, 2007 at 2:25 pm
I can so relate to most of those (though I am still in the cheap coffee phase–had my first ever Starbucks in July–I know shameful!)
Happy TT
August 30th, 2007 at 3:19 pm
We laugh because it’s funny, and we laugh because it’s true!
August 30th, 2007 at 3:54 pm
I don’t like coffee; must be hard to imagine for you! *lol*
I’m a tea addict, and a Diet Coke addict too.
Thanks for visiting my activities TT.
August 30th, 2007 at 4:40 pm
I’m not a coffee drinker but would have to say it does sound like you are a wee bit addicted.
August 30th, 2007 at 5:15 pm
Uhoh! I’m definitely an addict! Also to diet coke and chocolate!
August 30th, 2007 at 5:40 pm
Sorry, not a coffee drinker. Just the SMELL of coffee will give me a migraine. I’m a tea and Diet Pepsi addict. Got to get my caffeine other ways.
Happy TT!
September 1st, 2007 at 3:51 pm
Ha. I’m going to show this to my mother next time she says *I’m* addicted to coffee.
