In HS I started drinking the sugary starbucks drinks and I don't remember when I transitioned to liking regular coffee (though I still don't like it black), but I think it was around the time when I was working at a fancy restaurant that had really good brewed coffee that I could drink for free. I have gone off coffee many times since then, but I always go back. It's so yummy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-drinking-coffee-1#post-1831660 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 17:15:35 +0000 Mrs. Coral 1831660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I became a CPA! After working a 60 hour week, dragging my butt into work on Saturday almost required me to acquire a taste for coffee! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-drinking-coffee-1#post-1831659 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 17:14:23 +0000 FliegepilzHut 1831659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would get a latte at the mall with my mom when 1 was 12 or 13.

I stopped drinking it regularly when I was pregnant and only recently picked up up as a few-times-a-week thing </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-drinking-coffee-1#post-1831657 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 17:12:58 +0000 MrsKRB 1831657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started drinking Starbucks specialty drinks in HS (frappuccino's, etc.), and coffee in college - can't remember exactly when or why! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-drinking-coffee-1#post-1831647 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 16:47:25 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1831647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started drinking coffee rather young albeit it was very sweet with sugar and cream, but still regular not decaf. I was ordering it on my own at restaurants when I was 5 ot 6. By 9 or 10 my dad would bring me a cup every morning before school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-drinking-coffee-1#post-1831609 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 16:10:49 +0000 Meowkers 1831609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first cup of coffee was when I was 11 at a back to school night . I thought it was so gross. Little did I know how addicted I'd be just a few years later. I think high school is when I really started to enjoy it and I know that in college i was totally addicted to starbucks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-drinking-coffee-1#post-1831595 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 15:58:56 +0000 namaste 1831595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't drink coffee until I was 21 and shortly thereafter, bought my first coffee maker :P I was an occasional drinker so it's not so hard for me now that I'm pregnant to give it up. If I want it bad enough, I'll definitely have a cup. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-drinking-coffee-1#post-1830624 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 09:07:15 +0000 JerricaBenton 1830624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As a kid my parents or grandparents would give me steamed milk with a splash of coffee. I'm super sensitive to caffeine though, so I didn't graduate to a cup a day until after I was married. I still prefer my coffee light and get shaky and sweaty if I drink too much. I love my cup a day though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-drinking-coffee-1#post-1830600 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 08:56:34 +0000 night cheese 1830600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started drinking coffee at 15 with a ton of cream and sugar. Now I just drink it black or with a splash of dairy. </p> <p>Since I stopped sweetening my coffee, I haven't been able to stomach any type of speciality coffee drinks. I like my coffee as plain and basic as possible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-drinking-coffee-1#post-1830597 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 08:55:18 +0000 regberadaisy 1830597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>High school!

She will beg and beg me for tea. I don't put any milk in; I just make it weaker than my tea, which has only a tiny bit of sugar in it. It's not very sweet at all, so it surprises me she likes it, but she begs both me and my mom for tea!</p> <p>I had my first latte around 12 or 13, but didn't start drinking coffee regularly until I was working full time, in college, and also working a second job. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-drinking-coffee-1#post-1830517 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 08:11:19 +0000 mrsjyw 1830517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>High school, but not regularly til college... and even then it was more for all nighters and such! :P</p> <p>Working life is what pushed me to daily coffee. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-drinking-coffee-1#post-1830515 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 08:10:49 +0000 prettylizy 1830515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: DD1 now asks for "coffee milk" all the time because I made the mistake of letting her have a vanilla steamer from Starbucks once....

I didn't start drinking it regularly until high school, probably Junior or Senior year. I've always preferred it black, but will occasionally enjoy some yummy flavored coffee :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-drinking-coffee-1#post-1830507 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 08:08:19 +0000 rattles 1830507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: ooh I definitely had milky tea on the regular in primary school!
