Do You Drink Coffee?

[SuperDave 1,115]

I have been a "coffee geek" for years. I blend and roast my own Beans, experiment with various grinding and brewing techniques. I have a ton of coffee and espresso roasting, grinding and brewing equipment that I have acquired over the years. The chase for the perfect cup has been an obsession, to say the least! (I know, I'm weird!) But for now, it's on hold. Was told to give up caffeine for a year, and Decaf seems pointless. So, I just look at it as a distraction from what I need to be focusing on now. Sweet delicious coffee will still be there when I am ready to have it back!

I went back to coffee at 3 wks. My NUT was ok with it.

I am not addicted to caffeine. I get no withdrawal symptoms or buzz from it or anything. But still, I drink a cup of regular coffee every day as a delivery system for my Protein powder. After my surgery I could not hack drinking Protein shakes. They were just gross. Still are gross. I guess I can in a pinch, but I choose not to. Normally I put a scoop of vanilla body fortress in 10 oz or so of coffee, along with a shot of Creamer and sugar free Syrup. That's the easiest way for me to get my Protein in. Once I was back on regular foods, caffeine was not restricted.
