coffee

I made a big mistake yesterday. We had a friend visiting us in the afternoon and as is customary the coffee was obviously served. And letting your quests to drink alone just doesn't feel right either. So I had a cup myself as well.

There were times when I could drink half a pan of coffee right before going to bed and sleep like a baby. After gradually lovering my dose all the way to just one (or rarely two) cups in the morning the effect of caffeine has once again returned. Just one cup after noon is able to keep me up all night.

Me and my wife both drink a cup of coffee in the morning. Earlier we both used to drink two cups, but have recently dropped it down to one. The responsibility of making the coffee falls to the one waking up earlier, or sometimes to me even if she gets up before me if she's not in a hurry.

Our coffee machine has the water container with measurements of water per cup in increments of two. We however like to drink a bit bigger cups. The correct amount for our two cups is about 5 cups on the machine's scale.
