totally agree with grandma : nothing wrong with a second, decaf brew.
my grandma, in the old times, used the burned crust from the home made bread for the morning coffee. peasants could not afford real coffee. it was similar to chicory coffee, not too bad.
- HKH2 4y agoIf you drink coffee for the hit, then it's pointless.
- zdragnar 4y agoI'll occasionally brew a cup of decaf or half-caf if I'm looking for a small perk in the evening but don't want to risk being up too late. Possibly an addiction thing (pavlov's bitter brew?) or possibly just the nature of the bitter flavor.
- kQq9oHeAz6wLLS 4y agoNever underestimate the placebo effect
- HKH2 4y agoThe placebo effect works because the user thinks it's genuine, no?
- HourglassFR 4y agoThis can only be a patial explanation of the effect since it is known to occur even when the patient is informed that the substance is inactive. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Placebo#Mechanisms https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Placebo#Mechanisms Maybe there is something akin to belief in the belief, i.e. "I'm not religious but will pray for god or whomever in dire situations". The mind is a weird thing and truth is, we don't have a good understanting of what's going on with the placebo effect.
- xsmasher 4y agoMore like pavlovian conditioning; the body gets the pre-caffeine signal (the taste of coffee) and gets to work.
