[Troubleshooter]

I'm only a coffee elitist in that I drink coffe flavored coffee, none of this mocha java latte frappe granita crap.

Here in Louisiana coffee actually goes in the baby's bottle in some areas. I started before kindergarten and Little Sidhe (2 1/2 years old) actually has her own coffee cup.

I prefer a medium roast, it seems to have a better flavor and from what I've heard (I haven't looked it up yet) the longer the roasting period the less caffeine in the coffee.

As far as coffee and headaches goes, caffeine expands blood vessels, reducing the pressure that generally causes a headache, and also caffeine is synergistic with aspirin. If you look at Excedrine Migraine and its clones, you'll see acetominophen, aspirin, and caffeine.
