Jony sugar is dangerous killer

We should think about banning cars as well. They are very dangerous. I’ watch the news. So many people killed everyday. 🤦🏼‍♂️🤓

Caffeine to be classed as an illegal drug on 1st January 2026. Enjoy your caffeinated coffee before then 🥳

drdre89 **** all the pussified governing bodies that would even think of mentioning that sort of thing. Easily grounds for civil/world war and thin the herd of idiots out! Now that you’re done whining by all means resort to the decaf/pansy lifestyle, bwahaha

Decaf is for the WEAK… Personally average up to 1 gram of caffeine daily and periodically a fair amount more. No changes in BP, heart rate, no restlessness/anxiety, etc. Even pussified health care like the neurologist I had some time ago agreed that my intake clearly posed no risks. Made no difference what they thought as I simply said that’s one thing in life I won’t cut back on. Not to mention taking caffeine away from espresso is a serious waste as the texture fades and usable shelf life is easily cut in half regardless of storage measures taken.

No, it’s for people who enjoy coffee but are intolerant to caffeine, or who want to continue enjoying it later in the day without sleep disturbance.

If you have a high tolerance for caffeine (if not so much for those that don’t), then good for you.

However, the vehemence of your objection might not convince everyone else that your caffeine intake isn’t a problem?

Comments like that are from fools.

Some (my wife included) either give up coffee all together or switch to Decaf for medical reasons, not just on medical advice.

How many grams of beans would this be in a day?

MWJB

Platypus About 80-90g if Arabica.

But if all espresso, could be up to 150g?

JonWoo187

Platypus Average caffeine from espresso is 6 extractions, averaging 20 grams each and usually followed by 1-2 energy drinks later on. Typically 160-240 mg each depending on brand.

Also not very costly as I home roast. Average green price in bulk buying keeps my 20 gram extractions to .45 each (USD), so a rather cheap fix if u ask me.

Blimey!!! 150g lasts me at least 3 days.

That must be a really expensive habit.

I have never heard of manliness being expressed as caffeine content! Next time I am in a fight I must remember to ask first of all what their caffeine content is……..I wonder if there is also a link between caffeine content and stupidity?

JonWoo187

dfk41 With an IQ exceeding 160 no typical stupidity here, bwahaha. To each their own obviously, but decaf coffee is like non-alcohol whiskey… just not possible as it’s a main variable, take that away and you end up a diluted pissah!

dfk41

JonWoo187 I thought that coffee was about taste. Are you and your 160 score IQ. telling us that caffeine content is more important than taste?

You sound like you’re highly caffeinated 🤭

I only drink decaf for health reasons. The thing about decaf is that it requires a lot of careful experimentation to get it right. When you do get it right it can be a really good cup of coffee. I’ve been through 3 sets of burrs in my Mazzer Major and I rotate all 4 filter papers in my V60 - T90, T83, T92, Abaca+. I’ve eventually cracked it and got a really good cup this morning with El Hato Guatemala. Water just off the boil and just the right amount of drawdown with a T83. Yes, it can be done but you need to get everything right.
