Coffee recommendations?

Skillet said:One of my exam questions in med school was about how harmful coffee actually is... and honestly, even knowing all that stuff about adrenaline and how it messes with your nerves, I just can't quit it... coffee is just too good 🙂

I totally remember back in pharmacology class, we used to inject mice with different substances to track how they acted, and the ones on caffeine were hands down the craziest little things ever 😈

True enough, those mice were practically running marathons in their cages... but if I recall correctly, they were pumped full of enough caffeine to make a Starbucks barista blush. It was easily more than what would happen if I suddenly downed 100 shots of espresso at once... which, let’s be honest, would probably just kill me.

Could be! I don't really recall that specific "little detail" 😳

I don't mind the taste of coffee—really, I don't—but my caffeine tolerance is practically nonexistent, which makes things tricky since I'm one of those people constantly battling low blood pressure... so I tend to steer clear of the dark stuff.
Most days, I just stick to teas—mostly green ones, usually... 👍

That smells amazing. Usually, I stick to tea when I need a caffeine fix—black or green, mostly. Or maybe some Yerba mate. I really only touch coffee when I’m hitting a wall. If it’s drip or a small espresso, I usually just mix half regular beans with half decaf.
