I have a delicate relationship with coffee. I love the taste and aroma and the bouquet culture that’s evolved around it. But the biological effect of the brew can be wicked.
It all comes down to timing. Do it too early in the morning and, well, I’ll just leave it at that (let’s just say it can destroy a morning run).
Do it too late in the day and the body freaks out, stays up unnaturally late; the mind loses focus (feels like what ADD must feel like) and it just feels bad.
But get a great variety with the right ambiance (this is a huge factor) and coffee becomes one of life’s greatest pleasures. (7/5)
