I never drink coffee when I work and never have - is it just for the caffeine rush ? If you need it for inspiration / stamina - you need to kick back - I obviously have too much time on my hands

Much more than that! It's impossible to explain it to a non-believer. It's the very essence of life for a coder!
Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!

I'll only drink it until I need glasses. 
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

When I used to smoke I always said; quitting smoking is not hard, I've done it a thousand times.
I'm not sure how many cookies it makes to be happy, but so far it's not 27.

I like the taste, but it's also the caffeine rush. Too much makes me more easily agitated though.

I like it and I badly need caffeine.

Coffee is one the the Drinks Of The Gods - Gin'n'Tonic is the other - but the only one that doesn't get you arrested for driving after drinking it.
It helps you focus, plus stay awake in meetings!

That's not a drink - it's a cocktail!

Turkish coffee for the workday, Irish coffee for the weekend - both are drinks of the gods!
Seriously, coffee gives the the extra push during the workday. Mixed with alcohol, it mellows me (but keeps me moderately alert) on the weekend.

I used to despise coffee until I worked night shift for about a year. It never seemed to matter how much sleep I had gotten, that early morning crash was going to come in hard. Picked up coffee to try and make finishing a shift easier. Ultimately ended up finding a taste for it, to the point where I like to explore different coffee blends.
Oh, and it must be hot coffee. Get out of here with that iced nonsense.

I don't get it either. People boast about how much they "need" (are addicted) to a drug. Why is that something to boast about?!! 
Most developers I have worked with do not drink coffee, which was a surprise to me. I had expected most would.

Coffee is one of the essential food groups, not consumed on a regular basis it causes dingbautulus which is akin to scurvy and although not fatal can cause a severe craving to listen to Justin Bieber music.
I'm not sure how many cookies it makes to be happy, but so far it's not 27.

It's "logical": coffee has flavonoids. It's a race between the jitters and dementia.

Never had a coffee in my life[*], and I just never started because I suspect I'd probably be the type who drinks 6 a day. There was a period of time in my 20s when I had 2-3 Coke cans a day, but thankfully gave that up. These days on my desk I have these extra-large plastic Subway cups that I refill with water 3-4 times a day. It's probably my saving grace.
[*] I've had chocolate-covered coffee beans, and I like the rush, but I intentionally avoid making a habit out of it.

Studies have shown it increases your focus and pattern recognition.
I usually have 2-4 large cups a day.
Multiple studies have shown the health benefits of coffee far outweigh the problems.
A word of advice, if you: start to get the shakes from the caffeine, then stop for the day.

Herself was printing little labels for the grandkids' Christmas gifts. The only suitable card stock I had for the labels was a light gray. We did not have any white stuff. She wanted pure white background, so she colored the background white using Illustrator and reprinted the cards, but lo and behold: The background stayed light gray.
She called me: "Why is the background not white? I colored it white!"
"Your printer does not have white ink."
"Why doesn't the printer have white ink?" she asked.
How am I supposed to answer that? 
Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!
