Coffee

Coffee is the best drink in the world. I have so many memories where a cup of coffee lifted my spirits. I got into coffee towards the end of 8th grade. My friend got my hooked on Starbucks Frapuccinos, which don't count as coffee. Knowing this, I got myself to like the lattes. I would get an Iced Quad Venti Hazelnut Nonfat Latte. About the long name: I felt better about myself since I ordered a complicated drink. I liked the writing on the side of the cups where the barista would write modifications. I wanted my drink to have a lot of writing on the cup. I wonder how much money I spent on Starbucks in 8th grade. Eventually in 9th grade, I started making coffee at my house. I would bet that I am one of few people my age who brews their own coffee and drinks it black. Lattes and cappucinos are great but real coffee drinkers brew their coffee at home, drink it black, and buy real coffee. Fake coffee includes Folger's, Maxwell House, Dunkin Donuts, etc. I don't even settle for inferior coffee. Fake coffee tastes like burnt candles and pee. Many people say they think Starbucks is "too bitter". Ignorant americans like this don't realize that Starbucks has so many different varieties. I think Starbucks sucks money out of everyone's wallets with their drinks, but their whole bean coffee market is awesome. I mostly drink Indonesian blends like Sumatra, Sulawesi, but I also like Brazilian Coffee. I'm fortunate to live right next to a coffee roaster that's exposed me to many different varieties of coffee. I don't shop their often though, since it's in a dangerous location and the coffee is wicked expensive.
The bottom line is that coffee is the best drink in the world. Unfortunately, not many people drink real coffee. I do go to Starbucks occasionaly to get a drink. Sometimes I get the overly sweet lattes but if I go I usually get the Starbucks Doubleshot on Ice. It was taken off the menu 3 years ago but I still order it. It's the best drink you can get there.
When I have coffee, I feel motivated. Sometimes I go through periods of excessive caffeine intake. I call it  "caffeine-stoned". I haven't done this lately, but it makes me feel disoriented. I don't really get anxious, hyper or irritable. It's an interesting feeling. Earlier this year, my friend and I drank energy drinks constantly. We'd have it with coffee so it was a really nice buzz.
