So I have to ask, is that a lot for one person? I typically make a 10 cup pot when I brew at home and drink 80-100% of it. Granted I usually warm up the last 2-3 cups later in the day.

I'm not sure. A 5 cup pot fills my 24oz Contigo mug. I don't drink more than that in a day, usually.

It's not excessive. Studies show that people who drink around that amount get serious brain protective benefits, against stuff like alzheimers, Parkinsons, etc. It's a ton of antioxidants, and prevents diabetes, and a lot more. If it's not bothering you or interrupting sleep... Have at it.

Considering we just bought the house and the kitchen was remodeled quite nicely within the last few years no cutting is happening. Besides, it's not like I have some high end machine; just a Zojirushi drip that happens to be abnormally tall. I would definitely do something if the Baratza didn't fit under the cabinets though! |

I switched to decaf a few years ago because I had a really weird reaction to a mid-day cup of coffee. I got super light headed and dizzy, and it didn't pass for a day or two. I've gone about slowly reintroducing normal coffee, and now I'm back to drinking the good stuff, just less of it than before. I used to drink 2 20oz cups every morning.

And yes, I will treat it as if it is a drug because that is practically what you are doing. I expect to be flamed. |

So, everything in moderation? What's your point? |

Moderation is for pussies!
if you have certain cardio vascular conditions, yes, you should watch caffeine intake. Otherwise, it's a healthy drink with really no downside, even at the high end of the intake spectrum, like 10-12 cups a day (and the best brain protective effects are found at that level). |

I use caffeine as a tool. Yesterday I had to switch from day to night shift, so I had 1 espresso in the morning, not two. By 3 pm I was sleepy, knocked out for 3 hours. Success! No way I could have done that otherwise.

Many thanks Nate for all your recommendations (we PM'd about espresso probably a year or more ago)! I ended up with a Rattleware tamper, Baratza Preciso, and Gaggia Evolution. I bought them as a b-day present to myself.
My boy in Chicago heard about my purchases and sent me 3 bags of Intelligentsia and 2 bags of Unicorn Blood from Dark Matter!!!! It sucks wasting Unicorn Blood on my trial runs.... I'll hit up some of your roasts as soon as I run out (at this rate, won't be long). |

^it makes the coffee nice and creamy!
Drinking only the Bulletproofed coffee puts the body in Ketosis. Good for short excessive sessions, but I bonk after an 1.5 hrs. |
