I feel like weekends and vacations are when I can mostly get away from it due to additional sleep and less urgency to get going in the mornings.
The amount of sleep I get and my lunch break can heavily influence if I drink it daily and how much. Heavy lunch = potential food coma and a need for a second cup. ☕
Also 🇨🇦
My problem is that weekend and vacation coffee is the best coffee!!
It may not be as needed, but what beats coffee on vacation?
Actually agree with you especially on vacation when I tend to try something new from local coffee shops but I usually don't go out of my way to find these places.
I would also think doing something fitness related could be an alternative to going straight for the coffee in the mornings although I have not been able to stay consistent with that so I can't be the main advocate for it.
The best kind of "detox vacation" would probably be something where you put yourself in a scenario of nature/outdoors/etc. where the stimulus is different, the mood is different, etc. and the perks/addiction of coffee are less gripping.
I agree with this sentiment, I usually end up suffering from a smashing headache by the Sunday afternoon due to the caffeine withdrawal.
NEVER! Haha. I have my 1 pour over every morning as it makes my day much better. I spend a good bit of effort making sure my coffee is excellent (selecting beans, roasting, careful brewing) so it makes me happy when I wake up and get ready then finally enjoy my coffee.
If I was at the point where I needed multiple cups just to get through the day though...I'd probably take a break a few days a month.
Yup I do 🙋♂️. So after everymonth I spend an entire week without coffee. First few days suck 😖 but after that it’s normal. I think breaks are important to maintain your coffee tolerance and when you drink again after break.
It is easier said than done. But I sometimes juggle between Coffee and Tea just because I reached my Coffee limit for the day 😛. On a daily basis, I used to have Coffee at least 2 times. We have this Coffee called "Filter Coffee" which is with milk.
If you guys ever visit South India especially the state of Tamilnadu or a South Indian owned coffee shop in your place check if they have authentic "Filter Coffee" you will definitely love it.
Yes, I find coffee makes my mind "linear", for lack of a better word. I think it's sometimes important to let it be "fluid". I also try to balance out my coffee drinking with tea drinking (especially matcha), because although tea also has caffeine, the l-theanine seems to buffer the anxiety-filled burnout feeling that excessive coffee brings.
I'm at a point where no caffeine means a headache.
I'm not a coffee drinker, I'm a coffee addict.
Luckily I don't actually need to drink much, I need to drink less than 1 cup, however I need to drink some daily.
I had to take a 3 day break recently because the coffee grinder broke. :'( But got a new (and better!) one, so back on the coffee track again.
As for coffee intake, I'm usually between 2 and 4 cups a day. Not too much, not too little, imho.
I drink espresso every day, I don't notice any difference whether I keep to the schedule, omit a day or two, or even have an espresso late at night (around 9-10pm!). I may be desensitized to caffeine perhaps?
NEVER. I take it almost every day, or I can't work.
Actually, even if the coffee's effects are too much, I can still sleep to ease palpitations.
I generally drink coffee even on vacations and weekends just to feel awake.
I'm having a break right now - on decaf for the week since I'm feeling too jittery even without it. I used to be properly addicted but broke that due to circumstances a few years ago and haven't allowed it to happen again - try to do only one proper coffee per workday and usually none on weekends.
