If you’re a regular coffee drinker, this question has probably crossed your mind at one point in time. If you’re a constant worrier like I am, then it may cross your mind just about every day.

Caffeine can boost our energy levels like nothing else when we’re feeling weary, and its taste really grows on you. That would explain why there are hundreds of millions of coffee drinkers in the world.

Studies have shown that a cup of coffee stimulates mental alertness and boosts focus and productivity. Those looking to enhance their performance with respect to work related tasks will generally benefit from a cup of coffee.

It’s clear, then, that coffee has a positive effect on the way the brain functions. However, there are differing opinions as to whether coffee is good for the body as a whole. Some say it’s harmless, whereas others are convinced it can’t be beneficial.

Research has shown that coffee might raise blood pressure levels, and even heart rates, over time. Many people are alarmed by this idea.

Conversely, other research programs have indicated that only drinking large quantities of coffee very frequently would produce these effects. If you’re consuming an average of about one cup of coffee a day, then you have nothing to worry about.

Then, of course, we have the beneficial effects of the antioxidants in coffee. Studies have shown that they offer a line of defense against the development of diseases such as cancer. This is not hard to believe when we consider that coffee is natural. The same qualities are also to be found in red wine, another natural product.

When all is said and done, coffee should be consumed in moderation. Too much of anything is never a good thing, and you should treat any powerful stimulant with care, especially as you age.

Hands up who loves their caffeine boosts? Yep me too, I can’t imagine a day when I won’t consume my numerous cup of coffee to get me going in the morning and then sustain me throughout the day.

I have to have drinks containing caffeine throughout the day to keep me motivated and able to concentrate. Those big jobs that I’ve stayed late to complete on time should have ‘caffeine’ mentioned in the credits, as I couldn’t have done them without it!

Resisting caffeine late at night is the hardest part. There’s nothing quite like a coffee to round off a meal in a restaurant, and this is the hardest one for me to say no to.

Now you may be asking why I’m denying myself something that I enjoy so much, because of the experts, that’s why. You know the ones; they tell us that drinking caffeine late at night will stop us sleeping.

They reckon that it can take up to 10 hours for caffeine to leave your system, so you so the math. Whatever time you have your last caffeinated drink, add 10 hours on. This also depends on the how your body reacts after the withdrawal of the caffeine.

I don’ t know if you have ever notice, but those who take sugar experience what can only be described as a crash. The odd thing is that this crash might actually aid sleep.

Try this little test to find out where you stand. If you have your last caffeinated drink at 2 pm, try it at 3pm the next day, 4pm the day after that and so on. You will then know when you can have your last coffee and still be able to sleep.

Don’t get impatient and only have the last drink a little later each day. If you skip a couple of stages you may well end up in being in a cycle of sleepless nights and gallons of coffee to keep you going while you’re awake.

During a recent encounter with an old friend who was visiting from California, the subject of coffee came up. We’re both avid drinkers and enjoy discussing some of our favorites.

One of the places I chose to mention was a new establishment near my apartment that genuinely served up the best cup of coffee I’ve ever tasted. He had never tried this place, but insisted that the best cup of coffee I’ll ever have was at a place near his house in California. He even promised to mail me some beans.

He was up to two cups per day, and he had never had coffee on a daily basis before this. He couldn’t help himself, as he truly loved the taste of these beans.

Naturally, I became curious and wanted to know if this coffee was in fact as good as he claimed. He was nice enough to mail me a package with a generous portion of coffee beans to share his favorite kind with me.

Lo and behold, a package arrived at my door a few days ago with a return address from San Francisco. He had sent me a large bag of these coffee beans, and they came from a company called the Blue Bottle company.

I don’t have a coffee maker at home, but this wasn’t a problem. Being the thoughtful friend that he is, he decided to crush the beans in advance for me.

Was it as good as he said it was? After reading many online reviews, I came to learn that he’s not the only person who absolutely loves this brand, so I was really excited.

While I’m not sure that it’s the best I’ve ever had, I’d place it in my top three. My number one is still the local establishment near my apartment, but anyone with a lack of good coffee around should definitely look into some Blue Bottle coffee.

I’m a New Yorker and I love my coffee. With so many options around, it’s easy to get caught up with one or two convenient places, overlooking some of the many great purveyors around.

A few weeks ago, I walked by Stumptown Coffee Roasters, a place that I had heard about but never ventured to try. I had heard good things, but never realized just how much I’d grow to love their coffee in such a short time period.

Stumptown Coffee Roasters is apparently a chain with roots in Seattle and Portland, along with a few California locations. They recently opened up a branch in New York, connected to a hotel (this hotel also has West Coast roots).

I can’t say which of the coffees happens to be my favorite. I might equally love them all, to be honest. What I do know is that patrons all seem to claim that everything there is top notch.

The prices are reasonable, and most comparable to those you’d find at Starbucks, but the coffee itself seems to be of a much higher grade. There’s also a nice early 20th century theme going on, as the baristas dress in traditional gear.

I’ve never been a regular coffee drinker, but Stumptown seems to be turning me into one. I find myself craving it every day now, and I know that I’m not the only one.

I was surprised to see that even Seattle residents who frequent their local Stumptown call it the best coffee they’ve ever had. With so many great options abound in Seattle, such choice words really go to show how great this coffee is.

I don’t know if you’ll be able to get to a Stumptown, but if you can, I’d definitely suggest trying the coffee out. You’ll probably be hooked like I am. If you can’t get to one, make it a point to stop at one if you’re traveling.
