I am blessed with an immunity to coffee levels of caffeine. It isn't a tolerance, mind you, as I can go for weeks on end without any caffeine without it affecting me in any way, and then I can return to my regular coffee habits at any time with no difference. (I checked with my doc, caffeine just doesn't do much to me at normal levels.)

In fact, caffeine does little more to me than push my circadian rhythm in whatever direction it's already going. Drinking it in the morning helps wake me up a little, and drinking it before bed just puts me to sleep a bit faster. It's freaky.

Aaaaaaaaaand, as such, I've been known to clear through a pot of coffee a day by myself most days. (I just have to drink lots of water besides to avoid becoming dehydrated.)

In the end, I just love the taste.

P.S. Mind you, a double shot Americano will still make me buzz like a massage chair, so I steer clear of that.
