I enjoy coffee many ways. I often drink it black, but I also have been known to have it with unsweetened soy milk and usually agave/maple syrup in addition to that. However, I noticed that using both soy and a sweetener makes it taste kinda “overwhelming.” This morning, I put some agave in my coffee but I put no soy, and it tastes much better. Bottom line is that I can enjoy coffee either black or with sweetener OR milk/creamer, but I can’t do both sweetener and milk/creamer. Now, that I can’t get with.
I’ve eaten the powder raw to not fall asleep during my board examination. Either that or filter kaapi. I must confess, coffee is my favourite ice-cream flavour.
Do you figure it was actually beneficial to eat the powder or more of a placebo effect? I’ve always wondered if just choking down a spoonful of coffee would get me going but the risk/reward seems off to me
It’ll get your stomach going at least.
Just use caffeine pills if it comes to that.
if I was gonna do it I’d probably pack it into my lip or under my tongue and see how that feels, since ground coffee doesn’t really taste great or have a great texture. it should work fine though, chocolate covered espresso beans are a thing
I have some caffeine gum with L-theanine that I like in a pinch since it helps me not get anxious or panicky when I need to wake up and focus in a hurry. I’d link it but I’m pretty sure it’s long discontinued
