Mid-afternoon slump! I need a cuppa…
But we also have to consider the critically important cost/size and drinkability/size. If an espresso costs the same as a 64 oz mountain dew, us caffeine addicts would be better off with the latter!
These things are important, he says with his hands shaking as he goes looking for the next fix…

Or as Lincoln said: If this is coffee, please bring me some tea; but if this is tea, please bring me some coffee.
Senator Abe Lincoln has made his 40-year domestic tour of Illinois coffee-fields the centerpiece of his bid for the Presidency. His campaign jets a handful of coffee-lovers around the country, and trots them out at public appearances to sing his praises. Abe Lincoln wants us to believe that the men who threw the Boston Tea Party represent all those he calls his “band of brothers.” But is “good old” Abe really just a flip-flopper?
Paul, I was assuming - based on a series of observations going back about 25 years - that caffeine addicts are entirely price insensitive. So my counter to your espresso/Montain Dew comparison would be: What’s wrong with a 64 oz espresso?
Hanno,
Nothing. Nothing whatsoever would be wrong with a 64 oz espresso. In fact, I’d go so far as to say that everything would be right with a 64 oz espresso. May I have one please?
