How to tell if you are consuming too much caffeine on a daily basis

[MalicE]

I paid R70 at makro Montague last month for the 200g (i ended up buying 2) because woolworths was R10 more expensive

well I could have used that information A MONTH AGO

I find it therapeutic to grind the beans, boil the water in a stovetop kettle on a gas hob and brew the coffee in a french press. That is how I make coffee. At work we have a bean-to-cup machine which makes acceptable coffee.

ja I have that. too much effort to clean...

it's by her own hand, she buys the groceries.

Point out to her that it's chicory-based coffee and that she should buy Nescafe Classic or Gold.

Put your foot down man

Nescafe Gold on special at checkers for 69.99 iirc

This thread went from "Are you drinking to much coffee" to "How much for coffee?"

nescafe gold is also terrible to be honest. we have nescafe at work and i have 6 cups during the day whereas at home i only have 1 cup which tides me over for the day easily

the best instant kind for me is
Jacobs Kroning or Douw egberts....

also 200g of jacobs is R70 bucks at checkers at the moment...

R70 bucks at Makro, well worth the money considering you can get 80+ cups out of a 200g jar

Unless you are me. . . . I need 3 spoons of coffee in my mug with 1 sugar and enough milk to make it not black

Fair enough. Maybe its just a lay-up for you do spoil her with something else?

Thanks for the tip. I only get coffee when it is on sale, and its either Jacobs or (as I call it) Dogberts. Dogberts is R129 at PNP right now, so I've been drinking more tea since my coffee supply is running low.

I'm thinking of wiring up my arduino so I can wake up to automated drip coffee since I'm too lazy to make real coffee in the mornings, weekends aside.

That is true. I spent an hour or so cleaning my machine the other night, but I say the convenience more than makes up for the effort required to clean it. I have the Saeco Minuto, minuto meaning minute in Italian and barring the time it takes to warm up it literally does take a minute or less to prepare a great cappuccino direct from beans.

This. There's something about bean-to-cup's aroma that really scratches my caffeine itch. I've got a delonghi at home that I got my wife as a valentine's gift last year, and even plain old woolies beans are delicious in it.

I dunno, man, she does have to put up with you..

That is the correct use of an arduino, IMO.
