How much caffeine do you consume per day?
How’s your experience with it?
I’ll zap for interesting answers 💜🫶
Discussion
Double shot of espresso to start the day (no sugar)
Sip cold brew during the day (sweetened with maple syrup)
Not interesting. I just love talking about coffee. 😂😂
☕️🤙
I don’t think I’ve ever had a cold brew, nor do I know what it is 😅💜
With maple syrup, interesting combo, which I’ve never tried 🤔🤔
Cold brew is just coffee grounds steeped in water overnight. Supposedly stronger and less acidic. I use maple syrup cause I don’t like added sugar. And I think real maple syrup and raw honey are super foods.
Woah, you’re quite a bit more knowledgable when it comes foods and drinks for sure 💜🫶
Never even heard of ‘super foods’🤔🤔
I think of super foods as 1 ingredient foods that are really good for you. Raw honey and maple syrup are for sure on my list
I need to look into maple syrup as a superfood. I completely agree with your definition and honey being one though.
It’s purely speculative for me. I could be wrong, but I’m sticking with it. I just think we share plenty of DNA with trees, they are some of the sturdier living things on the planet, why not drink their life force? Also, I’m talking like a tablespoon or 2 a day… not any amount you want.

4 shots in the AM. Experience is love hate, but it’s relied on at this point.
Big cup of pour over once in the morning
0. Perhaps a cup of coffe with little milk someday, spanish style at afternoon.
What’s spanish style coffee? Don’t think I’ve heard of it as such
i’m doing no-coffee for lent 🤙🏼
I’m not familiar with that phrase, what does “for lent” mean?💜🫶

thanks bud 💜 get to broaden my horizon yet again 🫶
OK when I play chess with friends in local league, I usually drink one redbull but It is not very effective. The best for me is to sleep.
Ohh, I love chess, even though I am not good at it at all.
Coffee works better than Red Bull for me personally💜🫶
3 cups everyday!
Same here ☕️
Woah, 3 cups you both?!? I try to have one large cup in the morning with some L-Theanine, so the crash isn’t as bad during afternoon, but damn, 3 seems quite a lot for me🫣💜
I’ve never had a crash and I hate napping lol
Why are you strongly against napping?😆💜
Idk never liked it. I only sleep at night with proper circadian rhythm and wake up early. Never had issues with normal sleep, sleep like a baby. But If I sleep too long I get headaches.
I don’t nap either. I crash rarely tho
morning americano, later another one, afternoon cappuccino, after dinner espresso from bezzera espresso machine. bezzera invented espresso
Damn, that’s quite a bit of coffee. I don’t think I’ve ever really tried like really good quality coffee, or atleast I wouldn’t be able to know if one is expensive or not🤷♂️💜
i am in a coffee country. it is abundant here and really good. i even get it from local farmers and roast it myself
Far less than I used to. Little enough that I no longer get a headache if I go without. Some days I don’t have any.
I fill up one Xlarge thermos with coffee in the morning and drink on it all day.
I really enjoy having it instead of coke, tea, or energy drinks.
I use raw milk and pure honey from the Ozarks in my coffee.
How big even is an Xlarge thermos?🤔🤔
I like caffeinated waters, but coffee tastes better for me🤷♂️
Damn, coffee with honey? Never tried that🤔
Probably 24oz or 3 cups.
Honey will make your coffee better than any other sweetner even though ive never tried maple syrup.
If you like caffeinated water you might as well take caffeine pills with a glass of water 😂
Yeahhh, I used to take caffeine pills back in conscription just to keep my eyes open 🤣😅
Have to try it with honey then next time 🤔🤔
I start day with a huge cappuccino 400 ml 😂 and then depends on weather and my mood, sometimes I drink another one, or espresso after dinner.
Daily caffeine protocol:
1-4 cups of coffee
Almost always black
Usually drip/pour over, sometimes espresso
Usually with some theanine if I’m having multiple cups
I don’t even know what “drip” or “pour over” means🤷♂️🤷♂️🫣
I also use L-Theanine to cut the edges off the coffee💜
I like the edge of one cup but more than that, I need the theanine
Drip = conventional coffee maker
Pour over = hand poured hot water over coffee grounds
Ohhh, thank you for the explanation, clarifies a lot💜🫶
I rarely ever have more than a cup a day, thinking whether I should or not🤔💜
If you don’t feel you need it, then I’d stick to one cup.
Caffeine has pros and cons.
I do fall off heavily after 2-3PM, but I’m not sure if it’s worth it taking the risk of not falling asleep at night 🤷♂️
Does it happen after you eat lunch?
Hmm, I’d say so yeah🤔
Probably has to do with that more than your morning caffeine.
Be mindful of what you eat. Too many carbs or fried food tends to cause a crash. I find lower carb meals work better for me.
As long as you sleep enough at night and it’s not that - try taking 15-20 min walk right after eating lunch and get some sunlight. Also stay hydrated.
Yeah, should start implementing that more and more 💜 Thank you so much buddy 💪
Any time.
Physical activity in the afternoon helps with the crash.
Report back in a week or so and let me know how it goes!
Really curious on your daily routine 🤔 Don’t really have anyone to take inspiration like that from💜
It varies based on my schedule or how disciplined I am.
Typically, I like to get up early and exercise. Then coffee and some focus creative work until lunch time (my 1st meal of the day). Then a walk and back to work. I do the boring, more process-related work in the afternoon (email, admin, etc.)
One strong cup in the am with butter and MCT oil mixed in with a hand blender. Might have some green tea with lions mane in the afternoon. Coffee in the afternoon won't let me sleep but the tea is just right.
On a normal day 0. I sometimes drink green or black tea but to be honest I don't notice a lot.
1 cup at 6am and another around 830 to keep me company at the office. Black; no sugar or milk
I intermittent fast until 1pm so it’s a steady diet of coffee and water until then
3 cups of water for every cup of coffee suits me well
What’s the case for intermittent fast until 1pm then, how does it affect you personally?🤔🤔
Helps me keep a caloric deficit by limiting my eating window to only 7-8 hours a day
I also find it helps my focus
Huh, might have to try that out💜🫶
Wake up with a cold brew with espresso shot. Sup another cold brew with espresso shot through today, an espresso after dinner. All black
Like 700mg in the form of nodoz caffeine pills 💀
Wait huhhhh, 700mg???? That’s a lot buddy 💜🫶
High tolerance I guess, I don’t get jitters or anything 🤷♂️
I do ~2 liters of cold brew iced tea a day. Made with 3 tea bags. Each tea bag is 30-50 mg of caffeine, so that means 90-150 mg daily.
That’s quite reasonable, similar to what I consume 💜🫶
One large coffee in the morning usually suffices.
Yeah, it’s usually enough to get me started also. As long as I can stop the crash after lunch, I’ll be golden 🫶💜
