Okay, I admit it… I\u2019m a coffee junkie. I like really GOOD coffee, and a STRONG good coffee. But how much coffee is TOO much of a good thing?<\/p>\r\n

One of the favourite clich\u00e9s in my family is \u201ceverything in moderation, even moderation sometimes\u201d. In the past, it would have been said that coffee is BAD for you… but even the Mayo Clinic<\/a> agrees with the \u201ceverything in moderation\u201d motto and that some coffee, a moderate amount, isn\u2019t as harmful as once was thought.<\/p>\r\n

I like a good strong coffee to start my day \u2013 I like two espresso shots in my weekday hit. And I\u2019ll have a couple of mugs on the weekend. And I can imagine many other writers may well tell you the same thing, particularly when writing. Occasionally, probably once every couple of months, I\u2019ll have a secret hit of hazelnut syrup.<\/p>\r\n

Cruising the web for, well, interesting stuff that would be interesting to other writers, the\u00a0world\u2019s most expensive cup of Starbucks coffee<\/a>… and it almost turned me right off coffee!<\/p>\r\n

Coming in at US $43.70 (about AU$45.83), it has \u201c48 espresso shots, a scoop of protein powder, soy milk, and enough strawberry\/vanilla bean\/caramel high-fructose corn syrup to feed a small stable of ponies\u201d.<\/p>\r\n

48 espresso shots?!?!?! That\u2019s about a month\u2019s worth of coffee for me! And the sugar high? Even I shudder at the thought!<\/p>\r\n

I love coffee… but not THAT much coffee.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
