Caffeine

[Leslie]

k. Before, I lived on perk coffee, and it suited me fine. Never jonesed for coffee as long as I had my perk. Maxwell House, no-name, whatever.

Now, I've moved, and there are two Timmy's within walking distance. I've had at least one every day. Still gots the perk, but for convenience, and cause it's there...

And, I'm finding myself absolutely HURTING unless I get it.

Why?

Is there more caffeine in "storebought"? Why does not then a couple perks do it? I don't understand! I know it's good, but

They secretly lace it with heroin. Why do you think people will pay $6 a cup at those joints?

French press, Les and grind your own beans.

 

[Leslie]

Is that what I gotta do? That's a lotta work
so there is less caffeine in the packaged stuff? or it wears out over time?

Timmy's isn't *really* one of those joints. It's just donuts and sammiches and REAL good coffee. $1.55 for an extra large. No fancy schmancy anything.

Tim's made snopes with a "laced with nicotine" rumour.

lol

My dear half melted (Hmm which half?) Canuckyain
withdrawal from a dual addiction (caf & Nic)
is a tricky tricky thing.
Happenes every morning don't it?
"After that first cuppa Joe and a coffin nail
I'm sound as a pound"

The store bought (Timmah's) has extra caffiene.

Ever wonder what it would be like to be Caf and smoke free?

(sounds like a freakin' nightmare huh?)

Hey, I quit smoking but ya gotta draw the line somewhere.

Les, I have a little grinder I got on sale at K-mart or somewhere for 10 bucks, runs on two AAs and grinds coffee in about 15 seconds (30 for espresso). After the water is hot (please don't boil the water, 85C or so is plenty hot) it takes about 3 minutes for it to brew in the french press pot.

What I use. I didn't pay that much for it. It's so much better than perked ( or drip)...

I had one of those once, long ago and far away. Hubby found it handy for teh stash, so I lost it.

May have to go there again. This $1.55 ninety times a day is gonna kill me

French Press, grind your own, teach the kids to make it and bring it to you every morning ... with a little towel over the arm and a bowtie.

Kid's grown. I think it may be too much for the dogs. Maybe I need another Sheltie.

Timmy's is the only coffee that keeps me awake ,I can drink a whole pot of Homebrewed or visit any other restaurant and not have the coffee affect me in the least. I find it great for those early morning starts,but drink too much(a cup after 6pm) and I can't can't get to sleep .I'm definately on the "they fortify their coffee with caffeine" bandwagon.

I've never met caffeine that could keep me awake.

They have perk coffee that you can buy and make at home

Oh don't be such a wimp - it's only like 15 hours or summit.

My last Timmys had 20+ creams and sugars in it ... but to be fair, it was the monolith souvenir tankard that held like 8 larges.
