Pro tips (grew up in a coffee shop and drink espresso everyday for 17 years now) I don’t know everything, but I know some things
1.) spend an equal amount on a grinder as you do a machine
2.) intro machines - baby gaggia or breville
3.) real machines - spend $1500+ (rancilio, gaggia, rocket, marzocco, lelit, diletta
4.) buy light roast, Ethiopian beans. They’re the best. Ethiopia - birthplace of both coffee and likely, humans. Light roast has powerful caffeine and the dry beans don’t gunk up your gear like oily, dark roast does
5.) social accounts showcase so many add-ons. You don’t need these. You need a machine, grinder, tamper, portafilter, beans

After a 20+years of this "secret" I have heart problems and it's decreasing the density of my bones every day. Bad advice, fam. Do some research on caffeine...

It’s confirmation bias. You’re looking for that answer when you search. The science on caffeines impact to bone density is vague at best

I watched a video that said it is better to understimulate your brain and save very stimulating activities til later in the day. Skip the coffee so you don't have a see-saw of productivity.

Sounds scientific!

...and here is where is messes up your blood-pressure... so as I said.. heart problems and bone problems. Fall BACK on the caffeine while you can is all I'm saying :)

Now you’re trolling. Eat some damn vegetables and learn how to exercise. It’s not caffeine’s fault that your body sucks
