I can drink coffee and be awake for my 50 mile commute work in the night hours, or I could drink beer.

I bet money I drive better under one substance than the other.

There's a trucker coffee recipee here.

You make Turkish coffee, but instead of boiling the water you boil red bull

Whilst on a certain unit in the RAF I used to have a lot of 'hanging around' time in the crewroom, which was filled with pool, crappy daytime TV and coffee. Lots of coffee.

I used to not get to sleep until 2 - 3 am, and often wondered why, then I realised the dozen or so large cups of coffee I was having at work every day, topped up with a couple or three in the mess, wasn't helping. Vodka Redbulls in the evenings probably didn't help either. :doh:

I went out and bought decaf and now it's pretty much all I'll drink coffee-wise. Occasionally I'll have a full-fat coffee, but I'll know about it straight away.

I buy a good quality decaf, tastes much better than most of the coffees on the supermarket shelves, including brand leaders. I don't usually tell my guests it's decaf and I've never had a complaint - I think most people either have the idea that it tastes crap in their head, or they've only ever tasted the cheap, crap stuff.

I have stopped buying supermarket coffee second-last winter when I tried coffee from a private roaster here in my hometown, who already had won gold and silver medals for some of their melanges. I grind the beans fresh. Once you have tasted such coffee, you never want to go back to supermarket coffee, already grinded, again. The big industrial roasters roast too hot and too fast. That ruins it.

This way I spend twice as much on coffee. But the taste is the difference between night and day. To me, coffee is a luxury item. I save money in other areas. For example by not having a car.

I drink a pot of normal coffee in the morning, only rarely a second over the day. But over the day and in the evening I may have 1-3 Espressi. Different mixtures for both, of course. Espresso, correctly done, is stronger ion taste, but lighter in caffeine. That'S why one can drink it even in the evening. It's an imposter: it just pretends to be a tough brew (by taste), but it isn't: it's a lightweight, compared to normal coffee.

And espresso in German cafeterias and cafés costs 2,50 to 3,50 Euros. Hilarious, absolutely hilarious for that pathetic 25 ml of dark liquid.

I have laugh as I recall some time ago a women asked for triple decaf coffee! :rotfl2:

I too agree people can not tell if they are drinking caffeine or not, as for flavor well you can no question as cheap coffee has a twang about it.

Thing to know: coffee is the most valuable and most-traded trading good worldwide - even before oil, jewelry, gold. :o
