"Drink coffee and then take a 15 minute nap.". Advice like this makes it hard to take this article seriously. It's also a little thin on the data. Sure, it's an article on caffeine, so it'll rank on the geek sites, but do you feel richer or empowered after reading it?

I used to drink about 5 cups of coffee a day. I stopped cold turkey and life didn't seem worth living. So I scaled back to one cup of really really FUCKING good coffee every day. Jamaican Blue Mountain roasted beans, $40 a pound. That's right bitches. The only thing more expensive has passed through the asshole of a small cat-like creature. You already know what it's called because you're a geek and you're smart. Hey, I like pussy, but that's taking it a little too far.

So I take my one cup of blue mountain black, no sugar, milk or other evil pollutants. Fresh ground, French pressed. And then it's tea for the rest of the day to segway from my morning caffeine kick in the ass to a righteous l-theanine zen buzz.

Drugs are good. Smart drug use is better.

Was this part really necessary to make your point?

The rest of your post was spot on:)


Seems one cup may be too many. Calm down.


The caffeine nap works. Well for me anyway. Also helps with stopping you from sleeping longer then the recommended 20min (give or take) and falling into deep sleep.

Actually for the money, you can do better than Kopi Luwak or Jamaican Blue Mountain.

Cup of Excellence winners are always good, though it may be more expensive than Blue Mountain. I was given a sample to roast once. Something like $40/kg _green_. Otherwise just sample various beans from a speciality roaster.


Caffeine takes a while to kick in, if you use that time to take a nap then you will wake up with the benefit of the nap AND caffeine.


You mean "segue."
