    CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) — Move over, coffee and Red Bull. A Harvard professor thinks the next big thing will be people inhaling their caffeine from a lipstick-sized tube. Critics say the novel product is not without its risks.

    The product, called AeroShot, went on the market late last month in Massachusetts and New York, and is also available in France. A single unit costs $2.99 at convenience, mom-and-pop, liquor and online stores.

    I just buy whatever is on sale at Safeway and brew with a coffee maker I bought at a garage sale for 2 bucks. Once in a while I'll buy a mocha. Boring I know.

    French press every morning. If I have lactose free milk on hand, I'll put a little in, but usually it's just black. There isn't a whole lot of great coffee roasters down here, but I did find a restaurant that will sell me Stumptown beans. Too bad I have to buy 5 pounds at a time (and good think I have a vacuum food saver).

    I just drink the shit like Kool-aide. I like flavored creamer "Vanilla" or "Hazelnut". The coffee must be strong for me to enjoy it.

    Black coffee only. The milk or cream just dilutes what im after, the caffeine.

    Unless you're drinking it in <30 seconds, you're drinking straight ass there. Shots don't stay good for very long.

    Can't say I know what ass tastes like. Is this Kobe?

    Joking aside.... You don't buy shots to sip. Same theory as booze. Though, if I take a few minutes, it ain't that bad - still warm, especially in that quantity. But I will drink cold coffee that sat in our coffee pot all day because I coffee and the taste. Plus, like anything, if you know where to go and the brands to buy, it never tastes bad, or like "ass".

    Ha, I forgot all about Shaq's little song. Its not the fact that its cold that makes it taste bad, but you can see the shot of espresso break down in a matter of seconds. Back in the day, Starbucks would repull the shot for you if it sat on the counter for 15 or 30 seconds. If you get a shot in a clear shot glass, it'll go from 3 layers, with the crema on top to pure black. But, if you're really drinking 6 shots in the same sitting, I'm guessing you're used to the bitterness since it'd be impossible to get them all pulled simultaneously, so it may not taste all that bad to you.

    Keurig at home. Buy the Paul Newman medium roast. It's very good. I use CoffeeMate French Vanilla or just go black, depending on the morning.

    I throw an egg mcmuffin into a food processor and then scatter that gooey goodness into my coffee.

    I let that heterogeneous mixture marinate overnight and then I garnish the drink with a nice crazy straw.

    I just roll up to my favorite Dutch Brothers, stick out my arm, and they insert the IV. (Bitch makes me insert my own catheter, so I don't tip!)

    I have a Baby Gaggia espresso maker and make up a perfect Cap every morning to start the day. I use the smallest amount of Turbinado sugar to offset/reveal the bitterness and just enough half and half to cover the top... mmmmmm mmmm good!
