- do you drink coffee? regular or decaf? flavoured or non? latte or drip? homemade or shop-bought?

Regular drip coffee, usually non-flavoured. And usually shop-bought.

- do you have any kind of coffee ritual?

Well, I generally only feel like I need to drink it on workdays, and as soon as I get to work.

- how many cups do you generally drink per day?

One on the weekdays. If I'm going out for coffee with friends, two at the most. Otherwise I start to feel ill.

- do you ever get shaky from caffeine?

Yup. If I have more than two in a row, and especially on an empty stomach.

- do you get a headache if you don't have coffee?

No.

- does coffee ever give you stomach aches?

Yup. But at seemingly random times.

- do you think you're addicted?

To a degree, yes. I often just decide not to drink coffee during the week, but my willpower can be quite weak.

- do you think that coffee is always bad for you, or okay in moderation?

I think in moderation, like two cups a week or something.

i drink coffee sometimes, and i know my line is "coffee makes me hysterical", but i think ive built up some kind of tolerance? cos occasionally i'll have a cup in the morning and feel fine, and in greece i would have frappes and not freak out, but we were staying up really late, so maybe that's why i didn't notice? but i do get shaky sometimes, and if i haven't eaten anything, my tummy gets a little upset. and i think ANYTHING is good in moderation (except for i dunno, rat poison).

i'm not a coffee specialist or anything, but i like the taste :D

KISSSSS.

I buy various flavours of iced coffee from machines, and occasionally hot coffee from machines. Coffee/juice vending machines are EVERYWHERE here.

Also I drink whatever coffee or tea is handed to me at my various schools.
At home, I sometimes make a pot of green or pekoe tea. Back in the old country (I enjoy saying that...) my favourite was 'Irish breakfast tea'. But I don't think that is around anywhere here.
