YOWSA!! The free coffee is more than just a "sample". It's about 8 oz. Although I dont usually drink coffee (I keep it on hand for my visiting daughters), I'm going to try it this morning and will buy more to keep on hand. I believe in supporting those companies who offer awesome freebies.

Sounds like a great freebie! (I don't drink coffee either, I'm a tea drinker)

To my way of thinking it is impossible to have too much coffee on hand.

My daughter would definitely agree with you. I love tea, but tea has more caffeine than coffee and I've had to stop drinking it because it raises my blood pressure too much. So I'm back to drinking non-caffeine flavored coffees.

Are you sure? I looked it up one time and coffee supposedly has more (depends on the kind maybe?) - anyway, I changed from drinking my usual 3-4 cups of regular Lipton in the mornings to one (but then I save the bag, that does take out much of the caffeine if you look up how decaf tea is made) and have that for a 2nd cup either that day or later (caffeine makes me pee a lot, LOL) - I do not like the taste of coffee, I MIGHT have 1x/yr. a decaf w/Bailey's if I'm out somewhere cold and I need to warm up - but that's been a couple yrs.

Well, yes, you're right, Flamingo. Here's what the internet says:

Most people know that coffee has more caffeine than tea, right? That’s actually not quite true. While brewed coffee does have more caffeine than steeped tea, it’s because coffee is a stronger drink than tea. Tea leaves actually contain more caffeine than coffee beans.

Before brewing, tea leaves contain more caffeine than coffee beans. After brewing, however, a cup of coffee has more caffeine than a cup of tea. The reason for this is simple: coffee is a stronger beverage than tea.


I should have said that, for me, tea has more caffeine than coffee. I like strong tea. When I make tea, I use two teabags instead of one. When I make coffee, I dont add nearly so much as is recommended -- because I dont really care for the taste of coffee unless it's weak and has cream and sweetener added to weaken it even more. So I'm getting a lot more caffeine in my tea than I would in my coffee.

When I was in my early 30s we went to Scotland. Hard to believe but there was where I first had hot tea.
Yep, hot tea and Chinese food. I'd had Chinese food before but not the way the Chinese Scots prepared it. Instead of rice they used potatoes (AKA "chips"). I really liked it.


I rarely drink hot tea these days except for one cup at night. "Sleepy Time" tea. Camomile. It is a great sleep inducer.
