Yes. Isn't? Your image was so good I had to get a refill.

Good job. :) I'm not a coffee addict myself, but I know that morning grumble.

I love it, have had to drink more than my fair share today! Nice job.

Great image - you captured it perfectly

thanks! :)

That morning cup is the best,occasionally a late afternoon cup goes down real nice. Great carafe Kurt,love the drip basket as well.:)

Great puzzle, Kurt.

Sgusa,see how Kurt and i are giving you your fix. If you move to Aldègia,i promise i'll make the peasants...ah i mean people make only 20xB&W's.:)

I've kicked the habit. I've been off the brown for a couple of months now.

green tea for me :)

good image kurt :) i'm a tea person, mostly just winter time

Thanks, Kurt.

Pass me a mug.

Good for you Brian,was that Dr.'s orders?,or just cause you wanted to? My Dr. told me to quit,but i just can't do,but i have cut down a lot. Two cups a day max now,mostly just one a day.:)

I drink all the decaff I want! Thanks Kurt!!!

great, Brian! hard to do. I get a headache if I don't get my morning fix....

glad you all liked it :) overly simple though...mighta made a good blot puzzle

I like it, Kurt. The puz and the coffee! I'll have mine with cream, no sugar, thanks!

I've had some health issues that didn't need to be compounded by caffeine. It wasn't hard to quit and I still have a decaf latte every once in a while. Sometimes I miss not having a cup in the AM. It was such a ritual for the past 41 years. It all started when I would get a cup at Dunkin Doughnuts when Dad and I would go to work together. Back then, it wasn't sweet enough until you could see the volcano of sugar mounding up through the surface.

Super good image, Kurt.

I'm a coffee lover. I'm sipping a cup now.

The latest research shows that the health benefits of coffee (in moderation) outweigh the risks. There are only a few indications where a doctor would wisely advise to limit caffeine intake (hypertension, anxiety). Coffee drinkers get lots of antioxidants, and have lower risk of diabetes, migraine, cancer, Parkinson's, and Alzheimer's.

Just pick a food you like and stick with it. Science will eventually tell you it's good for you. (Of course, shortly thereafter it'll reverse its decision -- but just wait, it'll be good for you again soon.)

Actually, most of these studies don't make proclamations about good or bad. They usually just say that such-and-such tiny part of what-cha-doody is good for you in this quantity (or bad in that). Suddenly reporters show up and all grey areas become posterized to black and white - Coffee will keep you alive! Coffee will give you cancer!

This is not to totally blame them as they generally have no scientific training and even professions associated with science - like doctors - often do not understand the concept that "correlation does NOT imply causation".
