Coffee = precious precious juice.
Where's a link to that recent study that showed endurance athletes recovering 60% faster by drinking coffee?

"Boy, I love coffee. 
I had a cup mid-ride today in 90+F weather. The Starbucks cans of double shot espresso, light, is the best mid-ride. "

They can now make that fresh for you in any size, 2 shots of espresso on ice + milk. A small size kept me going through the other night on my night shift (9 hours worth). I'll take that over red bull any day of the week, plus it tastes great (i added a little sugar though)

I love coffee too but fortunately I haven't let myself get pulled into the world of premium blends and specialty machines that cost hundreds of dollars. No sir, just give me some Community dark roast and any drip maker and I am good to go.

It was really hard for me to leave espresso when I moved out into my apartment and relied only on press. Once I realized how much goes into making a perfect pot of press I rarely drink espresso anymore, press is definitely a art in itself. I don't know if I'd say it's the best method, but that could definitely be argued.

I'm a SBUX barista so I get to take home a pound a week of whole bean coffee. Didn't really drink coffee until I was around it all the time and the fact that I had to sample 10 or so blends for training. Just bought a 6 cup Moka Express a couple weeks ago and have been very happy experimenting with it. It works great with our darker roasts, especially our espresso blend.

I love coffee but I can't have it within 2 hours of riding or I'll have crazy heart burn. I stick to morning and post ride coffee.

If you're really into coffee, you would probably like reading "God in a Cup", by Michaele Weissman.

I personally prefer LavAzza pienoroma for my beans. I've got a La Cimbali M50 Dolcevita superauto currently, but am planning on trading that down to something like a La Cimbali Bistro M21 semiauto shortly. (The M50 is just too damn much machine, but I got a screaming deal on it.)
