I like espressos (especially mochas) but they take a bit of work to prepare a single cup. With drip brew, I can do very little and get unhealthy amounts of caffeination into my corpse. Also, I pour ungodly amounts of creamer into my coffee. That Mason jar is quite literally half coffee half creamer.

    I chug a mason jar every morning. Do you think this is playing a part in my workplace stress/anxiety?

    Used to drink 3 monsters a day, coffee equivalent is high but coffee hits me differently and idk, something is fucking me up.

      Yeah, that would do it. It’s gonna suck but you need to suffer for a week or two and scale that back.

      Idk how you are estimating the “coffee equivalent”, but I’ve found that the generic caffeine estimates for a cup of coffee are too low.

      Would recommend looking up how much caffeine is in the amount of beans you use. Caffeine extraction is practically 100% in water.

      I think typical estimate is 90-100 mg caffeine in a cup of coffee. With my coffee/water ratio, I think it was ~20% higher. And then the mug I use was much much bigger than a “cup”.
