Coffee?

An intellectual drink, for the chosen ones!

Blue Star Coffee Roasters

Their store and bakery was amazing! Spacious, clean, modern, gorgeous design. Friendly people. I was really surprised to find such a good coffee shop in the middle of nowhere.

I’m drinking their “SuperNova” decaf.

I had a coffee free day the other day and had no headache.

Try CBD oil at night. It helps with sleep. I make my own.

I buy beans from local roasters(Montgomery or Floyd county Va). Note: the darker the roast, the less acidic. Caffeine doesn’t change.

I sleep fairly well. At 72, I still don’t have to get up in the middle of the night to hit the bathroom. Thank God for that.

I follow the rule no caffeine after about 9 am and take 5 mg time-release melatonin at bedtime. I try to limit LCD screens in the evening, but I most often ignore that rule.

You’re very lucky!

I am the opposite. Seem almost immune to the stimulating effects of caffeine. Not a coffee drinker but can take two 200 mg caffeine tablets and feel drowsy afterward. Only occasionally do I get the typical stimulatory effect from caffeine in any form.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Wow, that’s a lot of caffeine.

On average, an 8-ounce cup of decaf coffee contains up to 7 mg of caffeine, whereas a cup of regular coffee provides 70–140 mg.

So I get 80 - 150 mg per day depending on what I’m brewing. I generally get the Swiss Process decaf beans which extract a higher amount of caffeine, up to 99.9%. That’s spread over two to three hours, so I don’t get much stimulatory effect.

I always hear that caffeine is bad for bones and can lead to osteoporosis.
