Do you guys, who have a espresso machine at home, really want to drink a espresso late in the evening, or night for that matter?

    Espresso? 3pm?

    When I was in my 20s I could have a triple shot machiato at 10pm and be asleep before 11…
    Now, I’m spitting distance from 40, if I have a 3 to 1 mix of decaf to full fat coffee made with a drip filter (edit: past noon) I’m up til 3am…

      I recently turned 40, and we’ve switched entirely to decaf. I still drink it because I love my latte, but now I can make a latte with dessert and don’t have to switch out anything. I use a Miele automatic.

        I have one cup (travel mug, so probably about 600ml) of full fat coffee in the morning, then one or two at 4-1 decaf - cafe before lunch as even on a hot day I love a hot coffee. If I make a brew anywhere near noon or beyond it’s full decaf, again because I just enjoy the taste, and having a nice warm drink.
        I remember a few months ago someone made a post basically calling out anyone who drank coffee as an addict. And yeah, I suppose there’s a bit of truth to that, but I’ll get absolutely unbearable to be around if I don’t have a smoke, but there’s sometimes weeks where I don’t have any caffeine at all, and I’m completely fine.
