Going without coffee

I wake up everyday at 7 am. Can't open one eye, other barely open, legs limping like a zombie, can't remember my name, until I take a sip of that bitter dirty bean water made by my mother's blessed hands. I like Black Tea more but one cup isn't enough. I have to drink a whole pot to be able to function properly. I go to the library everyday at 9 am and tried to not consume any caffeine to see if I can work properly and NOPE. 1 hour has passed and I haven't studied a whole page. I have to go out and buy one of these https://n1.sdlcdn.com/imgs/b/5/w/NescafeChilledLatte_Side1_1_-458e6.jpg which is like 70 Rupees. I need my caffeine. Coffee in the morning, Black tea in the evenings, only way I can function properly.

Even as Amir points out with his picture, food and beverage companies throw the word 'latte' around when you are not even getting espresso beans. It's the first thing they taught me back when I worked at Starbucks because it's such a common misbelief.

I tasted it black today and recoiled. I don't like bitter. I think the milk mellows it out more than sugar or sweetners but admittedly I'm a slave for amaretto or almond syrups.

Has only a few ingredients in it and no artificial flavoring shit. I even bought a pump for it too. Oh man, so good. Best coffee I've ever had at home with this stuff.

Also, I know... But, is not espresso a type of coffee? Soooo... Milky coffee. Latte... Order a "latte" in Italy and you'll literally get a glass of milk...Soooo... Beat that, Mr.Starbucks.

speaking of alcohol I'm drinking a mixed drink with Kalua in it to take the edge off the caffine headache I have. Apparently the headache comes back after drinking coffee over the weekend. Really sucks. Anybody who trades stocks knows why I decided to drink tonight :3

i'm a barista at starbucks and i know the struggle of trying to cut out caffeine ^^' not sure if you're trying to cut out caffeine completely or just coffee but maybe try matcha? i find when i drink that, i don't get that huge crash i do with coffee or espresso. it makes me feel more energized for longer. if the taste is a problem, i understand. its not for everyone or takes time to get used to.

I think I've gotten somewhat used to doing tea at work and coffee during the weekend. Monday headaches suck. Ugh, caffine headaches suck

For the first time in a longtime, I'm using an AeroPress. And I'm finally enjoying it! https://youtu.be/3_PGzZkGLlg
