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.

Had to scrape the last bit of grounds out of my tin today. Thought we had another one in the storage but I guess wife didn't pick up any. Coffee is a bit watery today but having tea as a substitute is just not the same.
no coffee shops/food places w/in walking distance?

Which beans have you tried from the GTA?
I usually buy from Social on West Beaver Creek, which I believe supplies Dineen on Yonge/Temperance with their beans but I'm getting bored of their beans.t

I unfortunately get Timmies still in the morning, mainly because it is across from work and I'm hella lazy. Timmies is the only time I ever have anything in my coffee. Everywhere else, restaurants/home etc is just black. Timmies needs additions to make it drinkable.
+1. Plus it doesn't help that's theres a tims inside of the hospital, a 2 min walk from my desk. The only saving grace is that it's high volume so 80% of the time it's fresh and not that nasty burnt crap that's been sitting around for hours.

Go for a walk outside the hospital and get a real coffee
They have a Starbucks in the hospital too but it closes early, and I'm too much of a cheap ass for Starbucks lol
Nothing else in the area, I wish that country style nearby didn't close down, they have the best coffee imo

We get it you're part of the other csi club (coffee snobs international) not everyone goes out to get the best cup of coffee, most times it's just a nice break between the day to drink something warm and get a little boost for the rest of the day

I drink every kind of coffee.
In the mornings i usually brew my own, pack it in a tumbler ( 16oz). Down a cup before i leave. Off to work i go.
Around 4-5pm, i get another coffee from (tims, Mcds, Sbuxs, or small cafe's) Been hitting up Sbux/cafe's lately for the Cold Brews.
I've noticed that i've had a problem with this, so 4 days ago, i decided to quit, cold turkey. I think i could be drinking close to a liter of Coffee a day, consistently.
Today is day 4, it's a lot better. Day 1 was brutal.
I drink it black. All black.
The morning coffee cup before i leave for work is purely for the effect, so it's double double (at home - i just straight up down it, it's the left over from not fitting in the tumbler).
Ever since quitting.
I've noticed (Oh i drink or at least try to drink 1-3liters of water a day)
that i do not pee as much for the past 4 days. My headache is close to gone.
BUt we'll see. I'll update as time goes by.

Update:
Noticed i snack a lot. Though, i snack on fruits (at the office). IT's very hard for the self control as the office has got junk food as well.
I didn't think i had anxiety, ever. But i feel like i'm a lot more calm, my energy (with a good 7 hours of sleep) is consistent throughout the day and at night my sleeps are a lot better.
It's hard, i want to buy a coffee everyday in the mornings.
Instead i substitute this with a Greens drink (Greens + extra energy).
