I eat dinner between 4-5 pm, so I have a few hours before I go to sleep. Even so, I can drink espresso later than that as long as I have food in my stomach. Strange, but true.

Mom died four months before her 100th birthday. She and Dad drank coffee from the time they got up until they went to bed.

Here’s where I buy the Kona (Turkish grind):

My wife drinks coffee all day and night right up until bed time. She falls asleep immediately. Sleeps like the dead and starts over again first thing in the AM when I wake her up and tell her the coffee is ready.

I have to stop drinking coffee at noon or I have trouble sleeping.

I drink Kona Hawaiian all day long.

I lived in Hawaii for 30 years. Always thought that Kona stuff was weak. Give me French roasted Columbian any day over Kona.

Kona is a light-to-medium roast, but there are now several varieties of the single-origin bean, that are dark roasted, and those are the ones I order. Nice to have a choice between light-medium-dark Kona.

That’s me...my 10 cup pot in the am then done...otherwise I can’t sleep.

Must be a gene thing.

I'd drink real Kona coffee all day, too. Now if I had a good Blue Mountain Jamaican coffee, I'd wake up at night to drink it! Used to order direct from both islands, but it's become an expensive luxury now.

Fool’s Coffee is a good source of BMJ Coffee, so I treat myself 4-5x/year:

"I have to stop drinking coffee at noon or I have trouble sleeping."

Same. Light roast. Maybe 2 1/2 cups. Done by noon.

I limit myself to a large pot a day. We all die of something. I’ll be happy with it 😊!
