Coffee is certainly a lot better than vodka any day, but be careful on your intake. Coffee, believe it or not, can be addictive. I know a woman who tried to stop drinking it and went into withdrawal. She drinks a full pot before she goes to bed at night, and we're not talking decaf here. So if you like it as much as you say, I'd suggest you switch to decaf as that's pretty harmless stuff comparatively speaking. And I'm like the other purists around here - whole bean is the only way to go.
