Question:

Is Coffee an Addiction?


Answers:
YES! I didn't know this until I decided to stop drinking it cold turkey because it can discolor your teeth. I was cranky...wait...I'm generally cranky....but I don't generally have terrible headaches. The headache was so bad I decided to invest in white strips for my teeth. Not only was I...ok...Not only am I addicted to the caffeine, I can hardly get my day started without the ritual of it.

Yes! Well depending on how much a person drinks it . Some peoples bodies get addicted to it (being the caffeine) to a point where if they don't have it they get headaches and such...It's actually considered a drug...

i think so i drink decaf and i crave it all the time even in the heat of summer!

Yes. Caffeine is an addictive drug. Even decaf has some in it.

yes it could be.

it dependeds on how much you drink.

coffee no

caffiene - yup

Yeah it is, but it's not the worst one you can have.

Yea - Caffeine in coffee is a very addictive substance.
A recent study in the Journal of the American Medical Association shows that when some regular coffee drinkers are suddenly deprived of their morning coffee, they usually get headaches. Fatigue and depression are usually associated with coffee with drawls, and many people are unable to function at their usual level of efficiency.

Yes, believe it or not my daughter who was in the third grade came home to tell me that I'm addicted to drugs! On their "Just Say No" day, caffeine, including coffee was listed as a drug! Isn't that a hoot!

Coffee contains caffeine, a chemical which can be addictive. if you drink too much coffee, you will become dependent on the caffeine and suffer withdrawal symptoms if you don't get it

yes yes yes i drink a gallon a day and it is better than crack

Yes Caffeine is a drug and yes you can get hooked on it like most things. The two most Addicting legal drugs are Caffeine and nicotine.

i believe coffee (not decaf) can be addictive physically as well as mentally.

caffeine is a stimulant and can have side effects
so the only way to avoid those side effects is drink more coffee.

when i quit coffee i had a head ache for three days....

a lot of the time .. but not always

Yes... it is the caffeine, but did you know that

There are 2 types of coffee beans, robusta and arabica.

The arabica beans are the best on the market, but also vary in degree as best to worst, but they do have around the same amount of caffeine, the difference would come in at the roast, the darker the roast (what I think you are calling bold) the less caffeine, as a bit of it is roasted out of the bean to make it darker.

A few years ago, you may have noticed that some coffee prices took a nose dive. This is due to the introduction of the robusta bean. As they name suggests, it is a more robust bean. It can grow at lower elevations and produces more beans per plant. Thus lowering the cost of some coffee. The taste is not as flavorful, and the caffeine content is almost double.

As to how to get the most caffeine out of your coffee... in last place is a regular cup of coffee, next you would have an espresso method, either an expensive machine, or a stove top version made by Bialetti. The bast way to get the most out of your coffee is to make iced coffee. You grind the beans coarsely and cover in water leaving it to soak over night in the fridge. In the morning you strain out the grounds and you have the strongest coffee caffeine wise that you can get, from either robusta or arabica beans. I guarantee you will have to add water or milk to it to drink it. It is that strong.
