What's your favorite brand of coffee, or do you stay away from caffeine? [View all]

I'm not a coffee drinker. Never have been. So none of the above for me.

I don't have to rev up my engine every morning with multiple cups of coffee. It's just up and at 'em. My wife needs a couple of cups, minimum before she can get going. And then, if we are driving anywhere, we have to stop to find a washroom in short order because she will invariably need to go pee.

No, coffee, you do not have your grips on me!
