I was still expected to go to school the next day by my parents, so my love affair with coffee began. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-drinking-coffee-2/page/2#post-2367529 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 20:10:21 +0000 misolee 2367529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first job at 16 was at a coffee shop!

Started with blended ice drinks and graduated to "real" coffee by freshmen year of college. I've drank at least a cup a day for the last 15 years. </p> <p>Mmm. Coffee. Oh how I miss thee. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-drinking-coffee-2#post-2367429 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 18:04:35 +0000 PawPrints 2367429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Had my first tastes of coffee in college, made it a regular habit when I got my first office job, but didn't *seriously* ingrain it into my routine (to the point where I have it even when I'm at home) until I was almost 30 I think. I abstained entirely for my mid-20s just because I didn't have a convenient way to get it in grad school and got out of the habit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-drinking-coffee-2#post-2367424 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 17:54:37 +0000 travellingbee 2367424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In high school I went to coffee houses but drank tea. I guess in college. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-drinking-coffee-2#post-2367420 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 17:51:59 +0000 NavyRN2012 2367420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Consistently? Mid 20s. I started drinking coffee sporadically in high school though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-drinking-coffee-2#post-2367403 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 17:26:41 +0000 HLK208 2367403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Middle school! By high school, I took a travel mug of coffee with me every morning haha. I worked in a coffee shop when I was 16 too so I got a free drink daily. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-drinking-coffee-2#post-2367395 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 17:15:54 +0000 sera_87 2367395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't drank hot coffee in years; I used to do iced but stopped that too. Now I just stick to boring old tea. :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-drinking-coffee-2#post-2367350 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 16:42:05 +0000 mrsrain 2367350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Middle school!

I love the smell but I think it tastes awful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-drinking-coffee-2#post-2367307 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 16:13:17 +0000 MoonMoon 2367307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted I don't drink coffee. I do drink it sometimes, but not every day and I don't need it to feel awake or anything. I remember when I was a kid, it was still the ethos of "coffee stunts your growth" so it was definitely viewed as an adult beverage. I hope my LO doesn't try it too early, I don't want him dependent on it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-drinking-coffee-2#post-2367299 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 16:09:11 +0000 littlejoy 2367299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everyone who drank coffee before they were 10 are hardcore! Hahaha. #goals</p> <p>I started when I was 25. I have a love/hate relationship with it, but I just can't quit. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-drinking-coffee-2#post-2367287 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 16:04:36 +0000 Cherrybee 2367287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had tried it when I was in school but I was always a tea drinker..... until my early twenties. Back then I was partying hard and used to drink it at work to disguise the smell of stale alcohol on my breath *cringe *. After a while, I started to like it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-drinking-coffee-2#post-2367263 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 15:45:57 +0000 jetsa 2367263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dad's family is coffee obssessed and they used to give us "coffee" (a little coffee, sugar, and lots of milk) when family members were over probably starting between 7-8. I started drinking it regularly in college. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-drinking-coffee-2#post-2367254 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 15:36:06 +0000 brownepiano 2367254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Highschool but I didn't really drink a lot till college. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-drinking-coffee-2#post-2367249 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 15:31:07 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2367249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe 6 or 7. By 4th grade my dad brought me a cup every morning to wake me up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-drinking-coffee-2#post-2367247 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 15:30:37 +0000 fancyfunction 2367247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've always liked the taste so would ask to have some when I was really little - like 6. It would be a little coffee with a lot of milk and some sugar. I started drinking it regularly probably in late middle school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-drinking-coffee-2#post-2367151 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 14:25:59 +0000 lilyann 2367151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just this year at 29 and it is almost always a latte. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-drinking-coffee-2#post-2367142 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 14:23:08 +0000 snowjewelz 2367142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>20's. I usually drink the frap stuff in HS/college. And if I really needed energy in college, I drank energy drinks (they were all the rage and campus always giving our samples). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-drinking-coffee-2#post-2367090 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 14:04:45 +0000 Mrs. Microscope 2367090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted high school, because you don't have earlier! :silly: I'm originally from Seattle, and my friends and I all started probably 7th grade. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-drinking-coffee-2#post-2367088 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 14:04:04 +0000 jhd 2367088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't drink it daily until my mid-20s. I gave up caffeine a few years ago and only drank decaf. Since the change to DST my toddler has decided to get up early and I've been having a little caffeine to survive! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-drinking-coffee-2#post-2367077 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 13:58:20 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2367077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I drank it socially/occasionally in high school, like, "let's meet up for coffee!" But not daily.<br /> I started drinking it several times a week when I was 18-19. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-drinking-coffee-2#post-2367067 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 13:51:42 +0000 Umbreon 2367067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was 15. I have always LOVED the smell, I tried it when I was 10 and didn't like it at all. At 15 my mom made me a cup and I had some with her now and then on weekends. In University I started drinking it every day. I only have a cup or less a day though. That's enough to wake me up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-drinking-coffee-2#post-2367055 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 13:43:09 +0000 lovehoneybee 2367055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>High school, but not really seriously until my early 20s. It doesn't do much for me (I only drink about a mug a day right now), but I find the ritual of making it very soothing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-drinking-coffee-2#post-2367049 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 13:41:48 +0000 yin 2367049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started in my 20's. I like drinking my coffee black and prefer french press at home. Nothing quite compares. I don't drink often, fearing that I will be addicted. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-drinking-coffee-2#post-2367047 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 13:40:47 +0000 Adira 2367047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>16! Once I started driving to school in the morning instead of taking the bus, I needed the caffeine to help wake me up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-drinking-coffee-2#post-2367046 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 13:40:41 +0000 IRunForFun 2367046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After college - 22 or 23 I think? It was when I had my first full-time job and was coaching a high school sport in the afternoons/evenings. So I'd have to get to work at 6 am. I started drinking it at little at a time and now I'm an addict. </p>
