what brand of ground coffee do you brew most offen ?

none @ home, StarBucks @ the office, and when out, Starbucks (my brother works there)

none. dont drink the stuff. Caffeine in it is bad. I Drink mostly Mountain Dew. Now thats the good stuff!

Folgers normally but I am not picky I put enough cream and sugar it really does not matter all that much what brand it is.

not to blow your concept here - if you drink anything with caffeine everyday and you are made to stop .you will have a reaction from withdraws and for a lot of people a major headache !

What are the symptoms of caffeine withdrawal?
Regular caffeine consumption reduces sensitivity to caffeine. When caffeine intake is reduced, the body becomes oversensitive to adenosine. In response to this oversensitiveness, blood pressure drops dramatically, causing an excess of blood in the head (though not necessarily on the brain), leading to a headache.

This headache, well known among coffee drinkers, usually lasts from one to five days, and can be alleviated with analgesics such as aspirin. It is also alleviated with caffeine intake (in fact several analgesics contain caffeine dosages).

Often, people who are reducing caffeine intake report being irritable, unable to work, nervous, restless, and feeling sleepy, as well as having a headache. In extreme cases, nausea and vomiting has also been reported
