I think there is a definite correlation with stress and coffee, at least for me.
In the beginning of the week to the mid-week, my coffee intake is about 3-5 cups a day, but it can go up to 7 if I'm hitting deadlines. But then as soon as Thursday and Friday roll around, I'm coasting at 1-2 cups a day, and the strength of the coffee is a lot lighter. On the weekends, I don't need coffee to perk me up, because there is little to no stress whatsoever.
Don't get me wrong, I love coffee. I just think that it has become a sign that the stress levels are up, at least in my world.
I like my coffee strong, with a swirl of hazlenut or vanilla cream to keep it interesting. ![]()
