Pot coffee aka drip coffee doesn’t wake me up anymore. Just makes me sweat. Espresso based drinks and energy drinks do though. The taste of pot coffee is bleh too. Been trying to isolate an exact reason for this. Anyone else have this?
Maybe take some time off from drinking pot coffee? Give your body a break from it and try it again after 30 days and see what you think. Just a thought. Im not a coffee drinker so I dont claim to know anything.
Yes across the volume of the cup but espresso has more per Oz. Espresso feels like a perk, drip just feels like crap. Idk. Maybe it’s due to the acids and stuff that get roasted out in an espresso roast

Yeah I'm an espresso fan as well, coffee never makes me fired up really, its moreso just a habit at this point.
Have you tried drinking a cup of water first thing when you get up? I find water helps a lot too, as does breakfast, even if its just toast/fruit it makes a difference.
there are a whole bunch of ways to brew for a reason. Some people love their auto drip pots and some people love Espresso. French press is my favorite or and individual cup pour over coffee is next best IMO
Yeah I’ve heard that water helps. I try to drink a lot of water but I need to get better at doing it

I love espresso, ever since I got a machine I haven't hit snooze on my alarm once, always eager to get up and make some. However that doesn't stop me from waking up and chugging a shit ton of water cus that's the definition of relief
Are you making your coffee correctly with the right grind, temperature, and amount of scoops per 6oz? Also could you be using shitty low caffeine beans or a preground blend? Lots of variables whereas espresso is pretty hard to fuck up.
For example, my weed smoking and high intake of caffeine has greatly increased my caffeine tolerance. I can do 4 shots of espresso (240mg) or drink a 200mg monster without feeling jitters. However if I make a French Press or do pour over coffee with good beans and the right grind and proper amount of beans, I'm shaking I'm so jittery. Autopot coffee is garbage in how it brews and also all the preground big names (dunkin, folgers, etc) are super weak coffee that often contain fillers other than coffee beans.
