An express guide to the complex and confusing world of coffee.

2 cups of McDonald’s iced coffee (BUY!) sit on the Fox 5 TV news desk, a punch-you-in-the-face product placement (BUY!) to chase down your morning news. They’’re still looking every bit as frosty and tantalizing (BUY!) as they were the first day you laid your eyes on them. They’re not real. Fake coffee on the news, 2 plastic cups permanently filled with some kind of bogus drink. The anchors aren’t even supposed to acknowledge them, McDonald’s reps explain.

The traditional Norwegian method for making coffee includes an egg. Simply break up a single egg and mix it with half a cup of water in a warmed saucepan.
“Coffee has never been a noble beverage because the means to perfectly produce it haven’t existed” But with recent advances in coffee-making technology, “now you can get perfect extraction. A Clover gives you greater control over the variables. It’s a clean, crisp cup, and it tends to play better to coffees that are higher toned, brighter. Like the coffees of East Africa, or the more intricate coffees of the Americas.”
I set my alarm to 6:00 and 8:00. At 6:00 I go up, take a 50mg caffeine pill, and go to bed again. Then I sleep and wake up rested and energetic around 8.

having read about some of the detrimental aspects of caffeine, i decided to end my consumption for the time being. sure enough, i had a headache the next day.
