What’s In The Mug
May Mini Edition

Drinking ☕️

It’s low tide here in RI, and today we’re drinking a big Space X mug with a homemade half-calf blend of City of Saints Denizen and BRCC’s Just Decaf. This mug was brewed via the Breville Duo Temp Pro, fine-ish grind (15/60), with distilled water and Third Wave’s Espresso Profile mineral supplement. I used the double-shot basket and the mineral supplement made this morning’s coffee extra smooth.

Thinking 🤔

What is the optimal amount of caffeine for productivity? What is the optimal way to intake caffeine for productivity? I went down the caffeine rabbit hole this morning and started with the following video I found on Business Insider explaining how coffee affects body chemistry.

The article on Business Insider links to a few studies published on the website coffeeandhealth.org. The links to the studies were broken, but using the Internet Archive’s WayBack Machine I was able to find a summary of the affects of caffeine on sociability and mental performance. I’ll be investigating these sources in the near future and hope to have a full-length article on coffee available soon.

Thanks for reading!
