The people who say they need 3 cups of black coffee to start their day are just addicts with a high tolerance that experience mild withdrawal symptoms each morning.

If you feel like that, it’s your body crying for you to take a break.

If you like an occasional cup of coffee or energy drink to get through something, then that’s fine. But if you ever feel like one isn’t working like it used to, you should take a break from caffeine to reset your tolerance, not up the dosage like an addict.

    Yeah, depending on the design, though, those hotplates can really damage the flavor. Technology Connections does a great in-depth breakdown of how they do this.

    They are just way way way too hot. The pretty much start ruining the coffee right away.

      Sorry if I was unclear. I’m in agreement with you that hot plates degrade coffee. I was recommending the let it cool down and heat it back up later approach.
