Title: Coffee Drinkers
Post by: Mr. Magoo on February 15, 2011, 05:35:02 PM
I'm going to try to start drinking coffee to help keep me awake and allow me to get more studying done. However I never drink coffee and there are an ungodly amount of options to choose from at the coffee shop. Keep in mind that I had gall bladder surgery not long ago so I'm trying to cut down on the fatty stuff (so I probably wont get anything that is loaded with fatty cream or anything).

(Translation: I want to start meeting girls at the coffee shop while I'm writing my next big screenplay on my laptop)-  ;D

What do you coffee drinkers recommend?

I hope that this thread remains on the main boards a couple of days before being moved to the nutritional board. My threads never get many replies so this is probably the only way anyone will see it.

if going to a shop, get a "cafe americano",,, sounds gay, but its hot water with expresso, tastes really good.

to the above poster, coffee has a ton of health benefits!!!  its not for old people, douche.

There's absolutely no need to waste your money on expensive matcha, just buy normal green tea.

Matcha is first grade tea leaves, that is right, but it's grated tea leaves for tea ceremony, just buy normal green tea, especially if you plan to drink more than just a small cup each day.

Supposedly it's like 10x more potent than regular green tea.  Something like 1/2 teaspoon a day provides more antioxidants than 10 cups of brewed green tea.

I doubt it, and IF it was like that, then you could buy a cheap ECGC supplement and stack some caffeine to it, you would have a good effect as well, at a much cheaper base.

For me, i like green tea. In the winter, i drink a lot of coffee and some green tea, but in the summer i drink at least 2l of green tea a day. It's cheap and healthy, there's no need to spend so much money on something as Matcha, which is a luxury item in Japan.

I recommend espressos for best flavour, there are machines to make expresso at home.

But since you probably want to make it easy for you, regular coffee maker and any sort will do. Not that much difference between blends IMO. But I do prefer darker blends since they're taste bolder/stronger.

Instant coffee I feel taste too synthetic and watery.

7-11 coffee is on point. The blueberry flavor has recently taken my top spot. Prior to that i'd have said anything from Dunkin' Donuts. If I'm on a cheat day and by a Krispy Kreme I'll grab their cappacino. Full disclosure, I am a lover of cafeteria/chow hall coffee and drink various instant coffee's daily, so I'm far from a high brow coffe eexpert.

I drink coffee out of habit & enjoy the taste. I get a mild effect from it now.

But if im Burned out & need to stay awake I drink a 5 hour energy. That shit really works. Your mind feels alert...not like a coffee caffeine buzz. Pick up a case in bulk for cheap on eBay.

Agree. Yuppies have absolutely no taste. The typical Korean deli in Manhattan makes coffee that blows Starbucks away.

The same goes for food. There's a Mexican chain called "Blockheads" which is very popular among yuppies. The food sucks. Most tex/mex takeout joints are 10x better at less than 1/2 the price.

Coffee drinkers using the new Starbucks
Reward Card iPhone app are vulnerable
to a venti-size scam that could drain
their wallets while a hacker’s cup is filled.
The app allows customers to pay for
their order by scanning a bar code on
their phone to the in-store register. Convenient, yes. a hacker can drain the Starbuck’s account of an unsuspecting victim in a
scam that takes about 90 seconds to
execute. First, you open the
Starbucks app on someone’s iPhone (you must physically have the iPhone in hand
— the scam will not work over a Wi-Fi network ). Then you click "Press to
Pay," which reveals the bar code
attached to the account.

Voila. Free coffee.

I'm going to try to start drinking coffee to help keep me awake and allow me to get more studying done. However I never drink coffee and there are an ungodly amount of options to choose from at the coffee shop. Keep in mind that I had gall bladder surgery not long ago so I'm trying to cut down on the fatty stuff (so I probably wont get anything that is loaded with fatty cream or anything).

(Translation: I want to start meeting girls at the coffee shop while I'm writing my next big screenplay on my laptop)-  ;D

What do you coffee drinkers recommend?

I hope that this thread remains on the main boards a couple of days before being moved to the nutritional board. My threads never get many replies so this is probably the only way anyone will see it.

  I recommend coffee made exclusively with Arabica beans and made with water that is not boiling. Boiling water destroys several of the oils as well as terpenes that give coffee it's distinctive odor and palate. I also recommend Java coffee for filter and if you are going expresso, then the best coffee in the World is Brazilian from the cerrado of Minas Gerais state. Illy coffee is almost 70% coffee beans from this ara of Brazil. There is no other area in the World that produces beans for expresso that is so rich with flavor and so delicate and with low acidity.

  I don't recommend drniking too much coffee. It has antioxidants and protects the dopamine-producing cells from the substantia nigra area of the brain from damage and thus lowers the risk of Parkinson's, but caffeine in large doses over large periods of time is potentially neurotoxic by causing depletion of norepinephrine as well as cholinergic excitotoxicity. Caffeine is a cholinergic, and in high doese it even inhibits cholinesterase like organophosphate insecticides, and too much acetylcholine can accelerate brain cell loss by inducing apoptosis. In rats, caffeine overdoses result in the destruction of brain cells that use acetylcholine, resulting in impaired memory, motor coordination and also the hearing.
