As a coffee lover, there’s nothing quite like starting the day with a strong cup of joe. But let’s face it, sometimes that extra kick can leave you feeling jittery.<\/h5>\r\n<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\r\n

I LOVE coffee! When working at home, I\u2019ll have two strong instant coffees with milk and sugar before I start working.<\/p>\r\n

My go-to brew when I\u2019m out and about (or working in the office for my day job that pays the rent) is a large, strong (i.e., with an extra shot of espresso), flat white with two sugars. A flat white is an Aussie invention: espresso and frothed milk with less froth in the milk than a latte. Check out the Coffee Fusion<\/a> blog on how to make a flat white.<\/p>\r\n

I was going through an old laptop and came across a post I wrote<\/a> in February 2013 (in a previous blog iteration) about how much I enjoy coffee\u2026 and an article<\/a> about a potent coffee. It had 48 shots of espresso and loads of syrup. The price at the time was US$47.30 (about AU$45.83 at then exchange rates, AU$67.15 at current exchange rates).<\/p>\r\n

There\u2019s coffee\u2026 and there\u2019s coffee!<\/h2>\r\n

\"BlackI decided to repost that post on my blog and some others. It will take some time to repost some of my older posts and some new content, and it\u2019ll be a work in progress. When digging a bit to update the post, I came across a 2014 article<\/a> on the (U. S. A.) Today website about a coffee with 101 espresso shots (and 17 shots of vanilla syrup), costing a whopping US$83.75 (AU$95.54 at then exchange rates, AU$128.67 at current exchange rates).<\/p>\r\n

\"AAccording to the Guinness Book of Records, the world\u2019s largest coffee<\/a> was created by the Tonic World Centre S.A. de C.V. in Guanajuato, Mexico, on 10 December 2022, at a whopping almost 27,000 litres (practically 6 U.K. gallons; more than 7 U.S. gallons).\u00a0The Mayo Clinic<\/a> indicates that coffee does have health benefits when drinking it in moderation. One of the favourite clich\u00e9s in my family is \u201ceverything in moderation, even moderation sometimes\u201d.<\/p>\r\n

At the end of the day<\/h2>\r\n

So what\u2019s my point, you ask. Apart from reiterating my love for coffee, I must spur myself into posting on the Book Studio! And writing more outside of my day job! With the help of coffee, of course!<\/p>\r\n

Final Thoughts<\/h2>\r\n

\"CoffeeWhile I sincerely appreciate coffee, it is crucial to recognise that sometimes too much of a good thing can be overwhelming. However, despite this, I still find it a reliable companion in my writing endeavours. If you share this passion for the world\u2019s favourite caffeinated beverage, I invite you to engage with our content.<\/p>\r\n
