We have a couple of those moka pots (the small one and a larger for if we both want to split some).
If you get the right grind and a decent bean (LaVazza Crema e Gusto seems p good for this), it makes some baller 'not quite espresso, espresso'. It's good stuff.

Less water.

I dont nuke my coffee to boiling, i highly doubt theres that much evaporation. Something about the turbidity or state of particles in suspension? Someone fund my research

Good, because I wasn't wanting to do or enjoy your dick skin.

Coffee however, I loving love. I'm not as hardcore as some though... about any ground stuff will do, but whenever I have the option (e.g. most larger supermarkets) I buy Fair Trade organic.

i dont drink more than 2 ever but i can drink a whole pot and go right to sleep. i mostly just enjoy the ritual, it doesn't really make me feel any more or less awake. i don't drink a lot of soda either so i don't know why i have the caffeine tolerance of a long haul trucker.

I replaced some of mine with (caffeinated) diet cola... but don't take advice from a fellow addict, heheh,

The caffeine hit from an average cup of coffee or tea or glass of cola is about 4 hours. Drink 2 fast & you have about enough 'fuel' to go 8 hours.

But for people like me and probably you, who drink a lot of caffeinated beverages, caffeine 'tolerance' occurs, i.e. you need more for the same effect (than for a non-abuser, heheh). And since I drink these beverages typically 10 times a day or more,, I can drink coffee or cola around bedtime & it doesn't keep me awake. Though near bedtime if I want a coffee I usually make one with decaffeinated ground to be safe.

Another symptom of the abuse of this (comparitively mild) drug is withdrawal, I know I don't feel right until my first coffee du jour, and start to wane if I haven't had one for a few hours.

No, I picked the habit up camping. Mix of instant coffee, dry creamer or powdered milk, and maybe some ovaltine. If I had time to make fire I'd drink it hot, if not just eat a bit and wash it down, nothing to clean up. The dry coffee flavor is intense but not bad.

I dunno doesn't seem any weirder than caffeine pills to me - I think those are kind of gross. I take lots of tea with me camping too, so I feel like two kinds of caffeine is enough to pack.

Back when I was based in an office we'd have a coffee machine in the office itself and the kitchenwould be right down the corridor. Sometimes I would arrive to work on Monday morning and chug down the coffee left in my mug from Friday because I couldn't be bothered to walk all way to the kitchen to pour it out so I could pour a fresh cup.

I only drink black coffee so its not weird

I got a moka pot for six bucks on clearance at Kohl’s and it’s my best coffee purchase. The French press was good, and the stovetop perculator was decent. The Keurig sat unused.

Coffee has to be either piping hot or actually cold, anything in between is super duper extra bad.

I make a big ol' thing of coffee in the mornings and by my 3rd or 4th cup its completely room temperature and absolutely unsatisfying.

For some reason, I can only drink one caffeinated beverage a day, even if that beverage is strong. Like, I'll have one coffee or one triple latte, but not three separate coffees. It's more about the routine than the coffee/caffeine, I think.

I purposely put water in my coffee to cool it down to lukewarm and dump it down my decaying maw.
I also drink warm PBR.

(These are the daily rituals.
I can appreciate grinding beans for fresh coffee or enjoying a craft beer, but a normal day entails the above. Get @ me)
