How big is your Coffee Mug?

Cman55 · 02-02-2007, 09:50 AM

I'm curious. I'm packing a 52oz. now. When I'm on the road, I usually stop by a Speedway or a truck stop and fill up with some Colombian Dark Blend. The Flying J might have the strongest coffee in the Midwest.

Last night, I saw what looked like a 72oz. Mug at a Travel America truck stop. Man, that thing looked like a barrel. Not sure what he got charged for filling that big boy up but I'm sure it had to be more than 99cents!

The only problem with drinking that much coffee is all the rest stops along the way not to mention not being able to go to sleep when I get to the hotel. Oh well...

Can't wait to hear some of the Caffeine War stories you guys have..

I am a coffee addict. Mine is a 20oz. Boeing mug I got when I used to work there. I grind/brew my own coffe at work every morning and end up drinking a little over half a pot in the morning. I just bought one of those single server Keurig B60 for the nights and weekend.

The caffeine doesn't keep me up anymore. I'm at the pint where I get sever headaches when I don't have my coffee. I guess that qualifies as a caffeine addiction/dependence.

I've eliminated about 99.9% of caffeine out of my diet at this point, health issues were getting to me. Still do a small decaf on some mornings, and enjoy some occasional chocolate or mountain dew...

---edit---

Oh yes, long walks in the park are nice as well....

The big cup thing hasn't quite taken off over here.

Me I stick around the 4 oz serving. Double espresso makes me feel all warm, then jittery, then smoke 'em if you got 'em.

That's 72oz. Wouldn't dream of filling it with COFFEE though. More like drink mixes.

I'm a traditional mug guy for coffee (don't really like it) and tea.
