i used to use one of those Bunn coffee makers, and i would fill the filter up with enough coffee grounds to make a whole pot, and then i would dump one 20oz mug of water in and hold it under the drip and add vanilla coffee mate, and drink two of those a day.

it tasted stronger, but i am not sure how much stronger it really was.

i did that every day at 8 am, for 1 whole year.

now i have 2 Regular cups in the am, and no soda.

actually, i haven't had more than 1 soda in 2 weeks for 3 years now.

i think i AM addicted to coffee though, because, like you Lisa, i just don't feel 'right' without it.

when i skip the coffee, i feel 'off'.
