Thanks, Don.

I can never believe that people not in hotels "go out" for coffee.
I cannot believe how many addicts Starbucks serves....nor the additives they require.

Yah, but I don't think this will be hard.
I once forgot to make my coffee in the morning and I wasn't the worse for wear.

The only things I'd miss would be the coconut milk and almond milk I pour in with it.
Delectable... Might be nice with tea.

  The problem is different teas are so different. If you only used one 
  tea, they you would learn. But if you switch around, it will be hard 
  to end up with the same amount of caffeine in each.

  This is good. You can then have different ones on hand. Even the most 
  expensive teas on a per cup basis are not expensive.

  I am up the block from a boutique coffee shop. If I look at my window 
  in the morning I see all these people walking back to their homes 
  with a cup of coffee. I guess for some people it is easier to go for 
  a walk and buy it, instead of brewing it at home. But this is dollars a day!

  I don't like jasmine. Too flowery.

  You will have to adjust. There will be some withdrawal. But caffeine 
  withdrawal is over in a day or two.
