From my perspective, coffee tastes like shit unless you add so much crap to it that it's worse than an energy drink anyways. I don't drink energy drinks much at all, maybe half a dozen a year when I'm on a road trip and need the pick me up. As Soygen said, they're far more convenient than coffee.

Agreed though that I can't understand why anyone would drink one or two energy drinks a day. But I extend that to coffee as well. It's bad for your teeth, your breath smells like shit, most people put so much sugar and cream in that it's as bad or worse than pop/energy drinks, and worst of all, most people wind up being dependent on it just to make it through the day.

On that same token on not liking energy drinks and not understanding why people drink them when they all taste like garbage....I don't like coffee either.

Tried Buttermilk Chicken at McDonald's today. Wasn't amazing, but definitely was a solid chicken sandwich. I have no idea what the people claiming it was terrible were eating.

I drink my coffee black. I love the taste of a good cup of joe.

On that note I also recently switched from disposable coffee filters to a permanent filter. Makes a world of difference. I'm not going to be arsed in the morning to make french press or hand drip any coffee and a permanent filter in my drip coffee maker really emulates the tastes of french press. You get the oils and all that shit passing through which generally a disposable filter absorbs up. It takes an extra 45 seconds or so the night before but is worthwhile. Even better if you compost since grounds make good compost fodder (I don't, though.)

Coffee also really suppresses my hunger. So if you're trying to lose weight instead of eating breakfast just have a cup of coffee. It is the zero calorie slim fast.

Put me down as another person who drinks coffee black, though sometimes Ill have a splash of cream.

I will drink energy drinks on a hot day though, I usually start my day with coffee but when it's 90 degrees out and I just rode my bike into work, I'm not chugging down a cup of hot coffee.

It was indeed Big Mac sauce, and more importantly, it was delicious. The burger looked pretty as a picture, egg was delicious, and the cheese was /great/. It's amazing how some nice, well melted cheese can improve a burger, even one from McDonalds.

I also had the MochiMochi Cheese balls as well. They were weird. It was like eating a rice crispy treat but insides was melted cheese.

Rockstar Punched is the only energy drink that I truly love. Its a straight up carbonated fruit punch with like 250 mg of caffeine. I hate most of the other energy drinks because of that shitty after taste though.

I drink the white Monster can (well used to, I quit soda and still going strong). It has 0 sugars and 0 carbs, probably some life-shortening ingredients but a bit healthier than normal energy drinks. The taste is a citrusy taste that is tolerable - no cough syrup taste or anything.

Also, coffee tastes like shit to me so I don't drink it. I get nauseous at the smell of it.

I used to take caffeine pills but I felt weird and sometimes jittery. I mean that happens with energy drinks too, but maybe with it being so compact in a pill it was worse. At least the monster tasted good, I drank it on my 1 hour commute every day.

Also Soygen, it's not a super taster thing in this regard. I've had an aversion to coffee my entire life.

Caffeine pills can really fuck with your stomach too.

Side-note, I interviewed with ProLab(the company the linked pills are from) like 6 years ago.

This man gets it, the fruit juice Rockstar is top tier. They have a recovery one that's orange that's decent too.

I don't understand energy drinks. They objectively taste like shit, they're unhealthy for you, they cost a fuckton and they accomplish the same thing as coffee. What is the point? Enlighten me Noods I must know.

most energy drinks do indeed taste like shit, but there are some really good ones. my favorites are the Rockstar Fruit Punch and the Java Monster Loca Mocha.

all of the sugary Monsters are fucking disgusting. i'm pretty sure its because Monster puts like 10x more taurine in them. pure taurine tastes like rotten eggs.

and not only is Red Bull gross, but its way overpriced for what you get out of it in comparison to other energy drinks. smaller container sizes with less caffeine for higher prices. i don't understand Red Bull addicts.

edit -- hadn't read this page yet, QFT @ all the people that agree on Rockstar Punched
