I know what you mean, I get blue mountain and kona beans from gold star coffee on chesswood ( http://www.goldstarcoffeeorders.com/main.sc ). I have a mid level breville machine at home and I can't even drink timmies anymore, it tastes like shit
I'd like to get a separate grinder and espresso machine, and just use the breville at the cottage.

Don't drink coffee. I've tried to get into it, but can't stand it. I will have the odd double espresso shot just to get back on track, but it ends there.

1 cup a day for me (McD coffee) -- I don't consider myself hooked on it, but rather using it as an excuse to get away from my desk and go for a walk w/ coworkers.
Back in the day I used to do double-double Tim's -- now w/ the McD coffee; it's 2 milk, 1 sugar.

/yep a cool guy over here. it's probably for the better that you're not juiced up on caffine lol  you are right doe. My buddy got married at sassafraz and I was passing out by the end of the night, asked for a double espresso and it was game.fucking.over. Drove wife home at 3am (I was the DD) and told her no way i can sleep, i think i drove to Barrie and back like 2 times that night, came home at 6am. never again 
Weak. a double shot of espresso has less caffiene than a 12 oz brewed coffee. Yes it tastes stronger, but espresso is so much better for you and that's why I make the switch doe. Plus it helps to keep ya regular first thing in the morning.
Sauce: https://www.kickinghorsecoffee.com/en/blog/caffeine-myths-espresso-vs-drip
However, when you get down to numbers the amount of caffeine is greater in a drip cup of coffee.
One 2 oz double espresso shot has about 80 milligrams of caffeine.
Whereas a 12 oz brewed coffee has about 120 milligrams.
So actually there is more caffeine in an average cup of drip coffee than in espresso. But, that doesn’t seem like a fair comparison given the difference in volume.
I wonder how you'd react to a starbucks' house blend coffee bc that coffee has more caffiene than any other chain coffees. You'd probably end up driving all the way to Ottawa and back just to cut the rush doe.

I've only had a few sips here or there (to see if I can get into it). I don't like the smell, taste or aftertaste. Not sure how I got through all nighters in school or heck even now at work.
As for tea, I only drink it if I am sick and need something to warm me up.
Yes I know I'm lame

I start getting headaches at some point in the day if I don't have a cup. I get a Starbucks on my way to work in the path. Getting a fancy $8 drink every 12 is a nice perk as well.
I have one a day, 7 days a week, poker nights, I get another.

Drink McD's at work with my co-workers, usually just one a day. Shit is marginally better than tims IMO. It use to be better but something changed also fucking inconsistent brew all the time. McD's really sucks at everything they do lol Sucks at everythign they do except for: revenue generation (68th biggest economy) being the largest toy distributor AND NOW I WANT A BIG MAC AND NUGGETS http://www.businessinsider.com/facts-about-mcdonalds-blow-your-mind-2011-11?op=1
They are in trouble now, hence all the changes in the menus. People don't want nasty fast food now.

When I'm 'in the zone' on a fast-paced project .... I start coffee at 8-9am (usually medium 2 milk 1 sugar), then I do the office coffee about 1 every 1-2 hours  ...
That's on top of pre-workout mixes when I'm at the gym, and a RedBull before my paddling practices ...
Yeah, I'm kinda fucked. Dem old bones need a boost all the damn, fucking, time.
