The one thing I don't consume during 'Today' - which surprises many people - is coffee. I find that a lot of water helps wake me up, without the buzz. I love coffee, but usually reserve a double espresso as an afternoon pick-me-up before settling in to do the weekend 'Nightly News.'

This quote is about someone who consciously chooses not to drink coffee in the morning, even though they enjoy coffee. They prefer to drink a lot of water to help wake themselves up, instead of getting a caffeine buzz. They do, however, enjoy a double espresso as an afternoon treat before they watch the news.
