Usually I make 45g of beans with 1-1/2 cups of milk. I use around 3/4 cup of water for this (I had to check as I usually just eye it). I use the Starbucks milk frother thingy to heat my milk. I used to use the stove top but it got annoying, and for some reason the frother makes it taste better. I work from home so I usually just come in and make a latte when I want one. The aeropress is awesome. It can even make junky coffee taste half decent.
Yes. I recently bought a latte and the waitress brought me a little basket of some artificial sweeteners to go with it. I asked if there was sugar, and she grabbed some off another table for me. :)moss said:And when in a cafe there is also a certain delight spooning in the sugars and being out and proud!

It makes corporate slaves work harder yet dumbs analytic thinking so they won't realize they are stuck in a go-nowhere rat race.
No wonder it is given for free at so many corporations.
You'll get better results by optimizing thyroid (to work harder) while reading Rich Dad, Poor Dad books (to work smarter and go somewhere in life).
Bitter but true.

If caffeine makes you jittery and speedy and stupid, you are wise to avoid it (or drink less).youngandold said:post 113965 Yes caffeine jitterness and speedyness dumb down what matters the most. Real analytic thinking.
This is one of the stupidest posts I've seen in a while on about five different levels.Coffee/caffeine is the ultimate mindless-slave making drug.

Yep. Lots of things with a reputation for helping the liver are bitter.Bitter
You are aware that lots of people drink coffee without jitters and speedyness, right?Yes caffeine jitterness and speedyness dumb down what matters the most. Real analytic thinking.
Do any of those studies control for overall adequate nutrition (really adequate, not low-calorie public health standards of adequacy), as well as really adequate carbs/sugar before the coffee consumption?This appears to be true even when consumed with carbohydrate (i.e., sugar).
Based on studies, it is pretty clear that caffeine is a stress agent whose consumption leads to short-term cortisol increase. This appears to be true even when consumed with carbohydrate (i.e., sugar). Whether this is a negative or not is not known - sometimes, there is a positive physical adaptations to periodic, regular short-term increases in cortisol (e.g., NSAID).
Generally, studies are contradictory regarding caffein's effect on testosterone levels. Although what is important is chronic caffein consumption on long-term testosterone levels, I have not seen many studies on this. One study indicates that, for overweight men, one month of coffee consumption increases testosterone. Over a longer time frame, the levels falls to the pre-drinking period level. The fact that the study was done on overweight people is problematic - abundance of stored fat could have had an impact on the study results.
I am not a big fan of caffeine, though I use it regularly as a pre-exercise supplement. As a healthy individual, I have not gained much benefit from it (other than getting my body to be alert for exercise).
I defined it in the post - I wrote that it leads to cortisol release. So, that is what I meant by a stress agent."Stress agent " would need to be defined,it's certainly not clear.
People's response to coffee is all over the map. Some seem to show hormetic reaction, while others don't.It sounds like a hormesis bent your taking?
Agreed. For the purposes of this thread, though, I think we have been using the terms interchangeably ...Coffee is also slightly different to caffeine.
