Caffeine: It makes the world go 'round

Starbucks was named after The Peaquod's First Mate, Starbuck, from the novel Moby Dick. Originally the creators/founders of the chain wanted to call it The Peaquod or Peaquod's, but decided against it (always thought Starbucks was very synonymous with America, as a name as well as a brand).

Then what's the deal with Queequeg's?
Also a fact: Because caffeine is quickly habituated to, people who drink coffee regularly are actually equally alert and focused under the effect of caffeine than non-users. It's the caffeine withdrawal that causes people to stop functioning if they can't get their caffeine. So if you want to make use of its stimulating effect, drink coffee occasionally and not every day. Basically, treat it like any other drug.

I actually prefer plain ol' Filter Coffee. Instant if i'm in a hurry.
McTaggart:
I've been going off coffee because the one barista at uni who I could trust to make a flat white and not a cappuccino seems to have moved on.
Also fuck paying $4 for a cup of coffee.

I have a Keurig at home, and we have one at work as well (whatthefuckever, Sean).
It makes me a cup of coffee, and that makes me happy. 'Sall I know.
look out! Ninjas!:
I had a coffee yesterday and immediately felt more sleepy than I was pre-coffee, and stayed this way for the rest of the day. I was pretty much relying on this coffee to wake me up, so I was rather disappointed.
