According to this article the correlation was first discovered through epidemiological studies and then later replicated in animal models. So the wealthier sample may have skewed the results to a degree, but were still the real deal.

On the other hand I saw this article the other day, which was contrary to everything that I've seen produced, which was that if caffeine was good for anything it was reducing the risk of diabetes. I then realized that it was churned out by a psychologist . GG.

As far as academic studies and things you read on the internet go though, I reckon' it's probably best to take them with a grain of salt. Mix the two together and it's probably best to ignore them completely - yet I can't seem to follow my own advice.
Edit: I should probably point out that the first study I linked appears to be completely seperate from the original Harvard(?) study.

Near my office there's a new super pretentious coffee shop, that uses coffee syphons to make their espresso - it's run by a former world's best barrista, and it smells like heaven, but I've never had one of the syphon ones - is it worth it does anyone know?
Emphasis on the don't overdo it, seriously. One very hungover morning I drank far too much coffee, and literally started shaking uncontrollably. Bad times.

I don't always drink coffee, but when I do I have it black. If it's not bitter it's not coffee

I love coffee, about to go drink some now. It holds me together during my work week in between my odd hours. Like today, I got off at 7AM, and I have to go back in at 2PM. Q_Q . Overnight shifts are the worst</3
And when I have days off or when I am relaxing with friends, some nice cups of coffee are always nice.
My honey get the stuff done:

And I currently drink:

It's a really mellow blend but I personally find it has enough kick to keep me going between shifts.

I only drink espresso. Everyday.

I use a french press like the second poster, and grind the beans just before use.
I used to drink flat whites, but recently started to omit the milk and just drink it black.
Also, I'm surprised that no one's mentioned that cup of coffee made from beans passed through a civet cat's digestive system, costing $50-$80 a cup. I'd like to try it one day, if I got the chance.
Anyone here tried it? What was it like?

Luckily, science doesn't need your approval to produce valid findings

The bolded bit makes sense; caffeine is an appetite suppressant. Less you eat, less diabeetus you'll get. Yay. America, fuck yeah. Of course, that's a very rudimentary and - ah - bad sort of proof. But I have seen this corroborated, citation not forthcoming due to failure to recall where I found it.
But yes, this is a very robusta thread. I like it.

I got a nespresso machine and though its not the best in the world, the quality to price is really good. Some flavors are really nice, for me I like my espresso the stronger the better.

From your link:
A flat white is similar to a cappuccino but uses microfoam instead of dry foam.
According to one report, "flat white" is simply another name for a latte, and the two beverages are identical. "The only difference between the two drinks is the vessel in which they're presented. A flat white is served in a ceramic cup, usually of the same volume (200 millilitres) as a latte glass. However, some cafes will top a latte with extra froth, while others may pour a flat white slightly shorter."[1]
Sounds like there is a huge difference between your drink and those "lol" lattes and cappucinos.

There aren't English words for a lot of coffee terms, given that coffee is anything but an American tradition.
Here's the thing: Starbucks is held up as a bastion of good coffee in the States. And they burn the shit out of their beans. French Roast? Nah, let's just roast the living Joan of Arc out of our beans!
My current coffee maker is a Black & Decker. Strike two, right? I know. It sucks. Typically, when you have a coffee maker, you want it to *not* be made by the same people that make power tools. Why the hell they would branch into coffee makers is completely beyond me.
"So, Novus, what's your brand of coffee maker?"
"Oh, it's a John Deere, got it free with the purchase of a lawnmower."
And that's basically the American coffee tradition for you. Like my posts, it's usually a joke, and it's almost always terrible.
If you're ever in Columbus, however, I'd recommend stopping by Luck Bros. Coffee. It's fantastic. Miles better than Starbucks, and even better than Crimson Cup - which is cool, because the latter's Armando Blend is one of the better ones I've had.
I can only comment on coffee I've purchased at places. My current collegiate nature generally delegates me to varying degrees of awful when I make coffee, due to the fact that I got my coffee maker free with the purchase of a set of wrenches.
