I"m up to 600 mg a day..minimum. I"m thinking of making my own cold brew to cut down on cost, but it never comes out as strong as the off-the-shelf nitro cold brews. Anybody running around like Tyrone Biggums for your next cup of caffeine?

 

i was mixing my own coffe with a custom bean/roasting collection.
once i had a fine (perfect tasting) roast it dwindled down to 2-3 cups a day.
bad coffee makes you drink more, because you don't get the satisfaction/bliss
of a delicious taste.
you stop chasing the kick and, spend the 2-5 minutes drinking, looking at that glass and thinking

 

Would love to see that secret blend of beans. I think I got burned out on making it as I would hand grind and use a French Press. My issue seems to be more with tolerance than quality. If we're showing our 'gear' I love the following cold brews/pods

Wandering Bear
Death Wish

any Peet's pods - surprisingly good for the price.

and sometimes a Bulletproof if I just want an extra pick me up

 

Just got into caffeine 2 weeks ago. Im sensitive to caffeine so I only drink decaf, but my favorites so far are

• Solar Roast Coffee Decaf
• Tony's Coffee Organic Medium Roast Cafe Carmelita (If im feeling risky, doesn't affect me as much as other caffeine coffee + this stuff smells like fried Reese's Cups, but you gotta brew it right to get the flavor out)
  
• Peet's Decaf Major Dickason's Blend

Also im using an aeropress for brewing. My favorite method so far is:

 

i grind beans fresh every morning and brew myself a french press as i'm getting ready to work. usually polish it off by lunch time. i take a preworkout supplement before the gym every day too, there's some caffeine in that as well

love the ritual of it and love the energy boost. caffeine > SSRIs lol

 

I love my technivorm

 

I stopped drinking coffe it fucked up my sleep and I was too dependent I would get the worst headache every day

 

I was addicted to speed, so coffee never did anything for me.

 

stopped drinking coffee because it f-up my sleep pattern, so I upgraded to this weird green tea, stronger, more effective than coffee, no headache:

 

Mine lately has been two cups a day; one before going to work and another one after coming home. If I was still making music I'd probably drink more coffee.

I drink it with sugar and milk because I'm not a masochist.

 

I've already cut back on my caffeine intake so much. Every once in a while I do slip up and pour me a couple of coffee cups but then I go several weeks without it again. But I have made Matchta green tea several times last week though.

Kratom will make your shit come out in coffee bricks. It will also dehydrate you and you will get addicted to it.

 

nah, that's just parents telling ghost stories to children. Doing super fine here a cup a day for 15 years. Also, you are correct about becoming addicted to it I suppose, the withdrawal kinda bad, forgot the last time I had that though.

@Donut Nyamer I edited the post

EDIT: it took 7 days for the withdrawal, the 2nd and 3rd days are full of suffering. It will then slowly fade away. So whenever I had to travel, I'll reduce the dose 4 days prior or if it is just short travel ill bring stock in a form of jelly. It is allowed to past airport security. Brought it to Perth the last time I went there, no problem at all.

Holy fuck you've been taking/drinking Kratom for 15 years? God damn, I did it for a few months and I couldn't take it lol

I felt fucking great but some days I would mega dose that shit, I took like 15 caps and thought that's where it's at lmao

 

I control the dosage, maybe that. Only a cup in the morning. I remember a wise man once told me, anything in high quantity is bad, so control that, you'll be okay. *taking a sip now lul

 

I couldn't control it, after a few weeks those initial 2 caps stopped working on me so I doubled up and from there I ended up on 15 caps some days. But then I realized I just need to cut Kratom out too, been more successful at cutting that than caffeine though.

 

2 things come to mind (without knowing you)

1)
you drink not enough water with/after your coffee.

2)
i stoped drinking coffee around 5-6 in the evening, never bothered me before.
but once it did, this helped with sleep like no coffee consumed!

@Tele_Vision

i just found a cool roaster/shop and talked at lenght about his beans, the taste and the changing taste
of the different roasts. It is def. upper end of coffee shop.
not like cat coffee or jamaica blue mountains
but still single origin beans.
Profiles (i chose) tend to be about chocolate, malt (arabica + robusta).
medium/strong roasts.

so nothing secret or special, just took my time, 1 year and later threw everything out (mix ideas)
now i start again

you asked about addiction

 

Bruh, that is some straight Cork-Sniffer coffee status.

 

I usually brew in a medium size moka pot twice a day which gives me about 4 cups of coffee if I dilute it a bit.

 

Damn Hipsters

 

Maybe I should give it another shot and see if I could just make a cup of it, I started with caps then tried the powder which tasted... well, unbearable so I moved back to caps before realizing it's turned into any other addiction.

But it was a pretty elite feeling for something that claimed to be just a natural supplement. I feels almost like I drank a couple of beers, a coffee and smoked half a joint because that was all that's left some random saturday afternoon.

I know they have like 3 different strains/vein colors like red, white and green. I think I only tried white and green but there are so many different types it actually blew my mind I didn't know anything about it until it started to just randomly pop up into almost every store and gas station.
