I came late to the coffee party. I started drinking coffee at 49. I am 52 now. I have tinnitus and for years the rule was caffeine effected the noise. A few years ago another research paper said caffeine caused no effects. I drink coffee from small roasters and I practice a mindful drinking of coffee when I want it. I have created my own coffee ceremony. I love making French press. I Inhale the rich aroma before the heated water. Add water to a small amount smell the coffee bloom. Drink with intention. Black, no sugar maybe half and half. I always biked to work so I had already the heart going for work and my work was stressful so no coffee was needed. Thank you for your observation on the difference coffee and meditation create for people.
