Also a fact: Because caffeine is quickly habituated to, people who drink coffee regularly are actually equally alert and focused under the effect of caffeine than non-users. It's the caffeine withdrawal that causes people to stop functioning if they can't get their caffeine. So if you want to make use of its stimulating effect, drink coffee occasionally and not every day. Basically, treat it like any other drug.

Breakfast isn't breakfast without some nice damn coffee though, even for smell reasons. Sunday morning, french toast & coffee. Win.
Queequeg's is a place? Obviously hasn't reached the grey shores/white cliffs of England yet. (assuming by the name they sell coffee in human heads or that you have to sit in coffins or something)

It's sort of a place. If you'll forgive the off-topic excursion: I'm not familiar with Moby Dick, so I only know the name "Peaquod's" as the coffee shop in Deus Ex: Invisible War, which was competing with the coffee shop "Queequeg's", which obviously meant nothing to me back then. Yay, learning!
Melodic:
can I use this thread to pimp the shit out of AEROPRESS COFFEE?! Yes I can!
Aeropress coffee is THE BEST THING. They look like this:
and they make the best coffee you could ever possibly make at home! Wowza!
Aeropress kits are like, maybe $20, and are made of plastic and shit that won't break the second you get fancy and try to make coffee while drunk. They use disposable paper filters, which can be a turn-off, but you can also buy FUCKIN' AWESOME metal filters that you can rewash and use forever and ever. Since the Aeropress goes right on top of yr mug, you don't need to worry about decanters, extra cleanup, or any of that other bullshit standing in the way between you and DELICIOUS CAFFEINE.
Seriously guys it is the best way to make coffee. Go buy one of these fuckers.
My Aim Is True:
I love coffee. I start every day by waking up at least half an hour before my wife to let the dogs out, and brew up a pot in the French Press.
But my wife is going on a "juice/raw/fast/detox" starting Monday. She's been drinking a little less coffee each day this week, and was down to almost none this morning. So I have to decide how much I'm going to suffer with her. I can't do the fast, because I'm diabetic, but my diet is sure to change some.

Six minutes, tops - let the coffee steep for four minutes. Also it's definitely worth it cost-wise and, in my experience, taste-wise as well! a lot of cafés do really shitty black coffees because they sell mostly specialty coffees, so for regular black coffee they have an old drip coffee machine in a corner somewhere that just simmers all day.

What do you even know about making coffee? Did you spend a good portion of your working life thus far working in a cafe that your sister also worked in?
The true tip to good coffee is to just eat the grounds.
