Am I a Coffee Addict?

Some people say drinking more than two cups of coffee a day makes you a “coffee addict.” But honestly, the term coffee lover sounds much nicer than addict, don’t you think?

Now, you might be wondering if addiction can really be measured just by the number of cups consumed. The truth is, not really! It depends on the cup size—are we talking about a 12-oz cup or a massive 24-oz one? That’s why counting ounces is a much fairer way to measure caffeine intake than simply counting cups.

From the photo above, you can probably tell that I’m a big fan of Tim Hortons coffee. I prefer medium roasts over dark roasts, and Tim Hortons offers the perfect balance. Their coffee actually reminds me of Dunkin’ Donuts, which happens to be my second favorite. Sadly, I don’t have access to Dunkin’ where I live right now. While Tim Hortons is based in Canada, they’ve expanded into neighboring U.S. states too.

As for Starbucks, I stopped drinking their coffee for a while because the Pike roast felt too strong for someone like me who drinks coffee black. That changed when they introduced the Blonde roast, which has a much smoother taste.

Of course, depending on where you live, there may be some fantastic local coffee shops worth exploring. At the end of the day, here’s to all the coffee lovers out there—cheers!
