As a very infrequent drinker of coffee, I can no more tell the difference between (regular) brands than I can between different (regular) beers.

Fresh ground bean, french press ^ ^ Improves the flavor experience 10x, imo. Been wanting to try one of these against the french press though...

In regards to blood pressure, and caffeine in coffee.
I am short a few hundred thousand dollars, six years, and some fifty IQ points of a medical degree.
My doctors do not worry so much about the short term kick to blood pressure a couple of cups of coffee cause.
The are concerned about the steady high blood pressure.
Now, if we want to get serious about blood pressure, we can discus sodium.

Richard, you are 100% spot on with regards to sodium. That's the killer for me.
As for coffee Mike. I just have a natural high in the morning and coffee moves me into an anxiety fit. So I pop my HBP pill and drink a ton of water. I'm fully awake inside of 30 minutes.
I watch my parents drink coffee at night and then nod off. I would be awake all night.

Of course, if you do not care for, or about coffee, by all means don't drink it.
About four years back, I shucked over twenty pounds, and still my doc kept me on the pills.
I'm doomed to stay on them till death do us part methinks.

Don't drink it like I used to, but when I do it's gotta be Foldgers. I like it strong and black. None of that sissy coffee for me.
I usually don't drink it in the summertime, any more. I prefer a glass of sweet tea for breakfast, instead.

Since my heart problems began, I pretty much have one cup of coffee in the morning. I mix half decaff with half regular. I still like quality and flavor, and my coffee comes from my friends that own Strongtree Coffee here in Gainesville.

Recent Medical studies suggest that 3 to 4 cups of coffee a day reduce the risk of heart disease and colon cancer. Green Tea is reported to have the same health benefits.
I'd like to hear the thoughts of the Dr's here on the Fire, on their believes of the risks vs benefits.

10-12 cups a day would put me on the moon. WOW!

I can still drink coffee, and go to bed. Sleeping is another matter all together. I've got the same problem, even if I just have a cup or two in the morning I sleep very lightly, when I cut my self off for a few days I sleep like a baby. But, if I get in some good cardio exercise I can have my morning coffee and a good nights sleep.

for years: home roasted, fresh ground, various origins (roasting is pretty simple in the right popcorn popper)
Costa Rica and Cameroon presently
my brewing would be considered "strong". Definitely not see-through coffee.

I like the Costa Rica coffee, as it does not leave a bitter aftertaste that most coffee does. One or two cups a day for me. For dvdgeorge: http://www.cafebritt.com/You can also pick it up on Amazon.com a little cheaper.

I usually buy HEB (regional grocery chain) brand Premium House Blend. As far as national brands go, I prefer Maxwell House. I've never had anything from Starbuck's that I liked. I usually have two 10 oz. mugs in the morning with 1 1/2 packets of aspertame, 1/2 tsp. sugar, and some powdered creamer. Guess I ain't much of a coffee snob, huh? That's what I like and it's all that matters to me. I'm just not high maintenance.
