Me too. "Hot as hell" is silly. It would burn your mouth. Sweet as love 
is equally silly. Coffee is transient and love lasts (for a while at 
least, and for a lifetime if you get lucky).

Yuck.

Coffee isn't addictive. Caffeine is, and I was addicted to it back when 
I drank tea. Coffee is usually imbibed at less than the addictive dose 
rate. We don't get tired of things that are never quite the same and 
coffee beans are never entirely identical.
