I don't think of myself as an addict, more a connoissuer of good coffee.

I feel the same way. I only rarely drank "proper" coffee up until a few years ago. Now we have a modest machine at home, I've learned to use it and appreciate good coffee. Plus, my daughter is a trained barista and works part-time at Lindt.
I can't drink instant coffee anymore -- to me even the premium brands of instant taste like filth and as for Nescafe and International Roast ... Aaarggghhhhh! Yuck! (Sorry)
I usually drink a total of 3-4 cups per day. One for Brekkie (usually Tea) one for Morning Tea and one or two (more often two) in the evening. These consist of one or two cups of coffee and one or two cups of Dilmah tea (a very good cheapie). Plus, a 600ml Diet Coke per day.
I used to make instant coffee to take with me observing but I find it tends to make me more thirsty and don't like the after-taste when you're really tired and the mouth is dry and claggy. Nowadays I drink Diet Coke while observing -- even in tempratures down to minus five!!
Don't feel I'm addicted to caffeine -- can go without for days and no headache, temper-tantrums, palpitations or "other effects".
Best,
Les D
