Some of my idea:
- 1st, I agree with Steve. I work at the coffee shop for a while and the caffeine is more affected by time under tension - I mean time contact with water. So things like cold brew or traditional Vietnamese coffee have more caffeine compare to espresso. You can reduce the caffein volume in you French press by pour the coffee out of the pot.
- I perfer to drink my coffee in the late morning or in the middle of the afternoon. After 9:30 AM and from 1:30 PM. Ideally from 11 AM to 11:15 AM and from 3 PM to 4:30 PM (which based on my current working schedule). I don't rembember where I read this (from LittlebeastM's facebook perhaps, he shared this paper) that if someone wakeup at 6 Am than 9:30 AM is the time for coffee - I don't remember correctly. But that works for me.
- I don't like drinking coffee too early - like after wake up or before 9 AM to be more specific. In the morning I feel fresh and wake up already. And then I have to travel 1 hour on scooter in crowded city - enough cortisol. My barista friends share the pain with me - they have a to check the coffee in the begin of the session (like 6:30 AM and 1 PM) and they don't like the coffee testing in the morning. Usually only very small sip of espresso to check the taste then they throw it away.
- I like coffee break, and that was a part of my rountine in the previous work. I translated some stuff at home, and at 10:30 Am or 11 Am I a break - either went to the nearby coffee shop to have an epresso or create my coffee at home (using Vietnamese filter - which basically the old school French press). Not just the coffee but the act of get out of what I was doing back then help me to relax.
- I remember @Chrisdavisjr is quite light (about 66-67 kg) and on the vegan diet. Some members on the forum are more heavier and have a less strictly diet. So that could be something to consider (of course there are small guys who drink a lot of coffee like Steve or Mark Limbaga - I saw his huge cup of coffee on the Internet). I remember when I was on vegetarian diet my taste of coffee reduce and I perfer something that's light taste.
