Miso How many coffees per day? I'm currently at 3 to 4, depending on how much work needs to be done

đŸŒĨī¸ Braden Douglass 2-3 4 oz cups of cold brew these days (heat index)
đŸĸ Keb 2, but the second one is more out of enjoyment than need. i love drinking coffee. usually espresso (cafe bustello is my jam)
🔚 Bort Simpson Varies between 1-5 daily, I always have a pitcher of cold brew in the fridge. However, I brew 1 part regular, 2 parts decaf, 1 part chicory (also decaf). It's not super strong, but tastes great and is enough of a kick to get the gears turning in the morning.
Miso Pitcher of cold brew in the fridge is a wonderful idea at this time of year. Do you buy it or do you do it yourself?
🔚 Bort Simpson I brew it myself. Nothing complicated, just grind 4oz regular, 8oz decaf, and 4oz French chicory, dump in a pitcher and fill with water, then let it steep overnight. Definitely nice to have when it's 90oF!
Sibachian I'm in IT, and live right next to the Finnish boat, there is no way I can do less than 10 cups a day.
Miso What's the Finnish boat? :)
đŸ§ŋ Andrea Used to drink 2 to 3 long ones during the day, but I've quit almost completely since two weeks ago - was struggling with headaches and I'm trying to figure out the culprit
😃 Javier 1 Medium 7-11 Brazilian bean cup to carry me through the early email morning load. The rest of the day: H2O.
Nick S. 1 or 2, spending on how you count. I have a strong aeropress cup when I'm at home (35g coffee) or a two-shot espresso drink when I'm out. Any more and I'm an anxious, jittery mess. At night I will make a cup of decaf but I don't count that.
Miso I got myself an aeropress machine a few weeks ago. I'm really enjoying the different taste the coffee has with it.
👉 LÊo I have a cup of "real" coffee with breakfast and then throughout the day I have two or three cups of instant decaf. I realized that my addiction was to coffee itself, the warm beverage with strong taste, not caffeine.
🤔 David It all depends on how well the coffee was brewed. I can only drink one or two cups from my workplace--if the coffee is from my favorite bagel joint then I could refill it endlessly...
Rsm Tea's my game. Though sometimes I'll drink a cup of coffee, strong Brazilian, for breakfast because the wife wants it.
👉 LÊo Well, your wife is right! In a country where breakfast literally means "morning coffee" you'd be in trouble otherwise! Growing up, we would have coffee for breakfast AND for dinner.
Rsm That is a real problem, having tea for cafe da manha kkkkk
👨‍đŸ’ģ Matthieu V. Tea is tastier, but I haven't yet bring at my work all the necessary to make some, it's on my TODO !
đŸ—¨ī¸ Fui None. But that doesn't mean I avoid stimulants. On the contrary. First, I'm very selective of the ones I use. Second, as they are simply tools, I never use the same repeatedly. The rationale for this is very obvious: to avoid building tolerance. And why do I use different simulants? Because each has it own set of effects. Some boost memory, others focus, others mood. Different tools for different goals.
👂 Sly Mind sharing some information about those stimulants?
đŸ—¨ī¸ Fui Sure. Just from the top of my head: you have yerba mate, dried or toasted, which gives you that edge; then there's tea, with its different varieties, with black being very much like coffee, green giving you that brainy punch without focus, while red boosts the brain and your focus. There's also guarana, which speeds you all up while enhancing your memory too. Finally, my favorite, raw cocoa, that gives you the much needed extra while putting you on the best of moods.
Miso That's super interesting. I never heard of other stimulants actually.
