Coffee for your kids?
Daniel MacIntyre
Does anyone here have kids (under 16) who drink coffee? I'm in a discussion
about it at work.

Not my kids, but I started drinking coffee at 14. I'm still an addict! And short, too!

maybe he went for my 'doctored' version which is to take a packet of
instant cocoa, a half tsp or so of sugar, a little dairy (milk,
cream, half'n'half, but NOT the dry non-dairy stuff), mix that to a
paste then fill with coffee instead of hot water. Frothy mocha!

Yes, but not on a regular basis. Once every so many
weeks or months my 7yo dd and I will have afternoon
coffee together. I fix it up how she likes it but I
usually only do half a cup of coffee and then add half
and half for the rest. Occasionally she'll have a cup
for morning. Nine out of ten times she'll start the
morning cup but then go off and play, when she gets
back it's cold and nasty so she doesn't finish it. :-)

Duncan, nine, is the only one of us who'll drink coffee. I hate the smell as much as I hate the taste, so I rarely fix it---only for guests, and only when I can get out of that! <G>). When I do, Duncan always asks for a cup (high end, brewed). But we have instant in the cupboard that he drinks *maybe* once or twice a week in the morning. Usually he has hot chocolate at night before bed.
The rest of us are Chai and tea drinkers. Duncan will drink tea when he's ill (sore throat/cough).

Yes, Chai! wonderful stuff!! Do you brew it or get it already prepared (I
once tried the powdered stuff, but it was too gritty - Oregon trail makes a
good liquid concentrate though) I usually make it from tea bags for economic
reasons :)

My younger kids drink coffee. Not daily, usually on weekend mornings when their Dad is home. Sometimes it's decaf, tho usually it's just regular coffee. They take it with some sugar and much more milk than dh does. Sometimes, we add chocolate Ovaltine to make mocha coffee.
I don't drink coffee myself -- just can't get past the bitter taste, tho I do love the way it smells. I think mostly their interest in coffee has to do with being like Daddy, and it probably doesn't contain more caffeine than the occasional soda drink.
I know that my grandmother began drinking coffee at 6yo, as it was standard practice in the 20's and 30's to wean kids from milk onto whatever adults drank. In her house it was coffee with cream, no sugar. My Mom was drinking coffee as a teenager, as did all her sisters I'm sure.

My wife's grandmother drinks coffee black. She started drinking it that way
as a teenager during
WWII. Cream and sugar were rationed back then, but coffee was available. She
just got used to the taste and stopped liking coffee with other stuff added.

> Does anyone here have kids (under 16) who drink coffee?>>My daughter (13) loves decaf iced coffee! She doesn't have it much
in the winter, maybe one every couple of weeks (it varies) in the
warmer weather. She also loves coffee ice cream. We were on
vacation in Provincetown (the tip of Cape Cod) and she wanted an iced
coffee, but it had caffeine (a small "fancy" coffee shop), which
aggravated her bladder and she had to hit the bathroom a lot, so she
staying away from caffeine in coffee, but still loves decaf iced.
I had to give it up, the caffeine gave me heart palpitations and upset
my "final" digestion and I don't like hot decaf (although I'll
occassionally do a decaf iced). We also like tea, (the caffeine in
tea doesn't do the same thing, go figure), with just sugar (she likes
it that way too, dh has it with milk and sugar, funny how you pick up
your preferences for things like that).

Espresso drinks actually have less caffeine than regular drip coffee. The taste is so strong that you use very little in each drink, just a shot or two.

I have a good friend whose 3-year-old drinks coffee with cream. Does
that count? He likes to sip it out of espresso cups, and it has to be
coffee--warm milk, for instance, is not an acceptable substitute. He
likes to have his coffee poured out of her cup into his, so part of
the appeal for him is sharing what she has. She has not worried about
it even when people seem to look at her askance because he does not
seem to have any adverse reactions to the amount of caffeine he is
getting, and he really loves it. Also, she has had people say to her,
"I can't believe you're letting him drink coffee!" while their kid is
two feet away drinking a half-liter bottle of Coke, so it seems to
her that "coffee is not for kids" is a pretty arbitrary decision for
some people, rather than being out of a concern about caffeine or
nutrition.
Until I met her, I would not have let my kids have coffee. I would
have said, "Not for babies!" But her argument is so reasonable, it
convinced me. So now if my 20-month-old asks for a sip out of my cup,
I will let him try it. Usually one sip is enough for him.

that count? He likes to sip it out of espresso cups, and it has to be
coffee--warm milk, for instance, is not an acceptable substitute. He
likes to have his coffee poured out of her cup into his, so part of
the appeal for him is sharing what she has. She has not worried about
it even when people seem to look at her askance because he does not
seem to have any adverse reactions to the amount of caffeine he is
getting, and he really loves it. Also, she has had people say to her,

Our children (ages 15 & 13, and even our 4 year old sometimes) drink it occasionally, however, I used to forbid it a couple years ago. When I was growing up, I was not allowed to drink it. I could also not drink tea (hot or cold) when I was younger. So, when I became a mom, I did it this way too, thinking that the caffiene was not good for them. But, I let them drink soda -- not a lot when they were younger, but more as they became teens
Hubby is a big coffee drinker -- he drinks it everyday. When we began unschooling, I started thinking more about why I didn't allow it and decided that I would leave the choice to the kids. So, maybe once a week or so, Noelle will get herself a cup. Our 13-year-old likes it too, but drinks it less often. They also really like frappachinos and such from places like Starbucks or other coffeehouses. Noelle and I really like drinking tea though, so we tend to go for that more.

Our kids love coffee. We all drink decaf fwiw. I remember someone being
relieved when they heard this bc they always saw my kids drinking coffee at
church and figured I was very lax in the parenting department. (little does
he know BEG)
I remember loving coffee as a kid too which was funny cuz we grew up among
Mormons in Utah and coffee is a big no no. But we used lots of sugar and
enjoyed the taste. None of my friends drank coffee.
Here in the land of Starbucks (Southern California) lots of kids drink their
double decaf frapacinos and soy latte's as a treat the same as going to
Baskin Robin's.

"they serve it in small glasses instead of cups"
I would love to find those glasses. If they're anything like the
glasses in the movie "house of sand and fog"...I WANT some.
I don't remember if that family was Turkish though.
They served tea in little glasses with a metal handle. I adored them
and have been looking for that style ever since.
btw, it's really good to have you here Christie...we miss you.:)

Hi Ren. I haven't seen that movie, but Turkish tea glasses don't have
handles at all. I always wished they did because they get hot! I
found a website http://www.turkishtaste.com ,and they have tea glasses
and kettles & such. They use a double kettle with hot water in the
bottom one and the tea in the one that sits on top. Any time we were
in a shop, we were offered tea.

I think the family in the movie was Iranian...
My brother was in Iraq last year, well, 2003-2004... and he had brought home
a bunh of stuff. He had a beautiful little gold tea cup. He says he picked
it up in one of the palaces over there (he's military). But, it was neat to see
the things he had that had all been disgarded.
He just left Monday to go back over there again. Poor kiddo has had it real
rough. :(

When I designed a play set in Russia we borrowed a Samovar and a set of
glasses with the little metal holders - kind of a delicate filigree with a
handle. You may be able to find something that you like by searching Russian
importers.

Here's what I said at the conference on the topic:
<<<< For a while Jayn always wanted a coffee when we went to our local
store, which gives out samples. The first time she had some, she went a
little wild – evidently caught unawares by the energizing effect of
caffeine. Subsequently however I guess she knew what to expect, and after
listening to my concerns that I really needed her to be calm and pleasant at
the store, she assured me that she wouldn’t go crazy, and she never did
again – at least not in relation to having a coffee. It was only in
preparing this presentation that I realized that she hasn’t asked for a
coffee for a while. Apparently she’s had all she wants for the time
being.>>>>

I work at a coffee hut on weekends and one of the first things that I learned is that the caffine in a normal espresso drink is less than a coffee of the same size.
Sooo, a lg. coffee(20oz) has @5 times the amount of caffine as a mocha or latte of the same size.
The sour taste left by coffee has a LOT to do with the roasting process the bean is the same. Most coffee, if gotten at a shop, has also sat in a caraf for a while, depending on the day and how busy we are, our coffee may sit for hours, by the endof the day it is really bitter. Espresso shots are brewed fresh and the process is much faster than brewing coffee. Coffee done in a French Press tends to be less bitter as well. Oh, and the quality of your water is really important, tap water can change the taste and bitterness of your coffee as well.
Sorry if that was waayy more info than anyone wanted about coffee, I'm recouping from a very busy and long weekend at work with coffee thoughts and talk floating around my brain...:p

Espresso drinks actually have less caffeine than regular drip coffee. The taste is so strong that you use very little in each drink, just a shot or two.
