I don't drink coffee I have English Breakfast Tea in the mornings - I get up and make a 4-cup pot, of which I drink 2 cups by 10 a.m. The kids each have a cup with their breakfast as well.

DH is the coffee guy (hence our visit to Seattle this June ), he gets up and makes his own, drinks it here. His store is right next to a Starbucks, and if he needs another cup in the afternoon he'll walk over and get one.

I *knew* I should have included tea in the poll!

"all of the above"

I generally make my first cup and drink it on the way to work and while I'm at work (iced coffee in a quart jar with ice - takes me about an hour).

Then, I have coffee at work that is made my the front office.

I make my own and drink two cups at home before work.

I never buy any out in the morning solo and only once in a blue moon to meet others out.

When I drink it, I make my own and drink a couple of cups. These days, I don't drink it (although I do love my decaf stuff from Starbucks) and will probably resume drinking tea in the mornings after I have this baby.

I drink one cup before work, tea once I get to work and sometimes I will get another cup of coffee from the coffee shop at noon (like once a week).

I don't drink coffee - never have - and although it smells good, I never understood why I'd want to start a bad habit.
I drink lukewarm water first thing. I can't start my day without 16oz of lukewarm water. I can't drink it if it's cold - - it doesn't really bother me if it's warm.

Make my husband's coffee (all he has to do is add water to the Bunn coffeemaker, everything else is set up).

2 hours later, I get up with the kids and make my coffee.

Then I try to hork the first cup down before making a real breakfast for the kids (they get 1/2 cup of cereal or a piece of fruit until Mommy is done drinking her coffee). That lasts about 5 minutes...10 if I can possibly stretch it that far.

Then I drink my real cup of coffee after the kids are settled in, eating their own breakfast. So while I'm not drinking on my way to work, I'm drinking while gearing up for the day.

Tommy has always made me a pot of coffee the night before and set the timer so that when I drag my arse out of the bed at 4am its brewed and ready. Chelsey has taken over since she is doing the dinner dishes - and doing a nice job. I wake up and drink a cup checking email/boards, pour another and then work out drinking it (and water) as I go. Then a third cup in the travel mug on the way to work.
I'm in the 'coffee club' at work - I pay $2/mo and drink as much as I want. Usually another two cups from 6:30-10:30.

I'm "other".

I am totally and completely spoiled and dh gets up before me and makes the coffee and puts part of the pot into a thermous so I can have hot coffee all day long.

Yes, I am spoiled. very. But I do the same kinds of things for him, so it all works out.

Whether coffee is "bad" or "good" for you is very much debated, so unlike let's say smoking - I would not deem it a bad habit

I picked the first option - prepare & drink at home.

BUT (cause there's always a but ), I will occasionally stop at the coffee shop here in town where I used to work and grab one for the road, OR I'll grab another cup at work from the cafeteria. They brew Seattles Best, Starbucks or Maxwell House - I usually get a cup of Seattles Best Cinnabon, mmmmmm.

ROFL, I don't know why no one else drinks lukewarm water... It's supposed to be very good for your body.
