Not anymore, due to my GAD and insomnia. Long story short, I was compensating how tired I was with how tense I would get from coffee. My psych told me to stop taking so much caffeine and it’s helped a lot to curb my anxiety.
I miss it though. Used to brew a fresh cup in the morning, noon, and afternoon. Freshly ground every time. It legitimately ruined every espresso shop in town for me. Burnt, bitter, or underbrewed. Only good coffee shop in town is a turkish one.
Bittersweet! I learnt a lot about coffee, and since my primary way of showing I care for people is giving them service, I have a new way to give it. Most people like coffee, and I know for a fact I make a good espresso. I just can’t drink it as often as I once did.
