Maybe? I was surprised to hear James saying he hadn’t had any caffeine on multiple days.
One coffee a day? Those are rookie numbers!
Joking aside, that could mean there’s already significant variance in their intake.
Opinions are my own. Profile picture description: Black on white pictogram with a D20 showing 20 for a head and a game controller for a body and arms, holding a white cane.

You could maybe work this out from a meta analysis of the studies about caffeine and focusing, where the control group is actually just in withdrawal.
I was surprised by the lack of correlation between caffeine intake and sleep quality, but the takeaway, for me, is that if they were specifically looking into that, they’d need to control for other factors. And n=5 is pretty small.
Interesting stuff.
There’s room for preference, I can enjoy a dark roast blend, but they seem to be really leaning into it these days.
Bad? Who’s to say. Specialty coffee is 100% Arabica and Arabica is more expensive to source, so, regardless of preference, I’m surprised by “100% the cheap stuff” marketing.
I think it’s an attempt to introduce apparent differentiation at a low price-point. I’m curious about future developments.
I love acidic specialty coffee that tastes like you squeezed half a lemon into the cup, but I also enjoy bolder, more classically intense coffee.
My main point isn’t so much about people’s different preferences, but the way companies seem to be pushing towards one end of the preference spectrum bit because of its value, but because of the cost and margins.
I think their normal intake was 4 or 5 coffees. I’d expect to feel **something ** cutting down from that to 0. Maybe the decaf placebo really worked for them, most days?
