Genetic fast metaboliser of caffeine. Need more caffeine to have an effect and more prone to addiction. I decided once to drink espresso until I got the shakes. I needed 12 shots.
Eating beans seems terribly inefficient though. Eating the 30g of beans in a cup of coffee or a shot of espresso for example would be quite the snack. Water extraction of caffeine is highly efficient so you aren’t leaving a lot behind from coffee / espresso either.
Have you tried Guarana pills or slow release caffeine pills? No data, but I’ve found Guarana to be a less jolty longer lasting than most forms of caffeine
To be clear, I’m eating them along side a quad espresso, not instead of it. Pretty sure guarana pils aren’t available where I live, and the only caffeine pills available are weak and expensive.
Is there a name for this problem? I’m imagining you sitting with a bowl of beans looking miserable, shaking your head and muttering, “damn beans”
End stage caffeine addiction. A terrible illness
4th stage is where it’s at
Anemia, pica
