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.

Richard I like the taste of coffee but it simply amps me up too far. I do like tea but again I go for tons of water in the early AM.
10-12 cups a day would put me on the moon. WOW!

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. That too. I am looking to get off the meds in retirement. Stress lowered, diet altered, exercise regime altered. Looking for pennies that add up to a dollar.

Farmer Bros straight black. Usually 4 cups or so in the morning. Sometimes a thermos throughout the day. Doesn't do much for me other then I like the taste. I could drink a cup and go to bed no problem...

When I was,,,,,, a young man, I could sleep well after coffee.
I can still drink coffee, and go to bed. Sleeping is another matter all together.

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.

My doctor advised me not to drink it. I certainly don't miss it either. Kind of like quitting smoking, you just do it.

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.
