camwynI'm awake and at work. I feel like I should get some kind of credit for that. Mostly for the 'awake' part.
On a related note it turns out the reason the espresso-based drinks I've been making for myself ever since getting a Moka pot for Christmas haven't been waking me up as much as I'd like is that espresso contains more caffeine per volume than drip coffee or French press coffee, but has a small serving size, so a double shot of espresso has basically the same amount of caffeine, around 120-130 mg, as eight ounces of Murrican coffee. Ordinary Murrican coffee. The kind brewed at home. As opposed to, say, Starbucks, where a grande iced coffee- my most common order- has 165 mg caffeine and a cold brew with milk has 200 mg... or as opposed to Dunkin Donuts, my next most common spot to stop, where it's 297 mg of caffeine in the medium iced coffee.

I knew Sbux brewed their coffee strong but I didn't know it was that potent. Or that Dunkin Donuts was like that.
I believe my doctor would suggest I stick to my own coffee where possible.
