How to optimize your caffeine buzz
Related entries in Coffee Education, Fun with coffeeHere is an interesting article about how to optimize your intake of caffeine. Some highlights:
small hourly doses of caffeine (.3mg per kg of body weight [approx 20 mg per hour; thanks digg!]) can support extended wakefulness
Caffeine may increase the speed with which you work, may decrease attentional lapses, and may even benefit recall – but is less likely to benefit more complex cognitive functions, and may even hurt others
The beneficial effects of caffeine may be most pronounced in conjunction with sugar.
How do you consume your caffeine throughout the day?

Typically I just have a 12oz to slowly sip on my way to school and through my first class, and then I have another in the evening during studying or reading.
So that would mean roughly 100mg of caffeine for the first couple of hours of my day, and then another 100mg over the course of an hour in the evening.
Of course, this is much more than 20mg/h, but then, I’m not drinking coffee with the intention to stay awake for extended periods of time.
I don’t usually drink coffee in the middle of the afternoon anymore. For some reason, at that time of day the caffeine gets me wired pretty easily, and then I crash soon after.

I found your site by accident and I must say that I am suprised that you have not been to or mentioned Milano Coffee Roasters on west 8th or Turks on Commercial. If you love coffee and particularly espresso you will find the experience unparalled in Vancouver.
Regretably, since becoming a customer of their fine blends, I have found most other “coffee” simply undrinkable.

Hi
I have heard that a coffee shop that decorates the tops of coffee making various “patterns” – like the top of this web site.
Whats the name of the coffee shop???
Thanks

There are a few places that do it (it’s called latte art); you’re probably thinking of Caffe Artigiano.
