Coffee

A controversial drug! A mood booster, a depression alleviator, a mineral deprivator? The smell of freshly roasted and freshly ground coffee definitely has same chemicals as other captivating smells like cannabis and essential oils.

Key moments in coffee experience quality​

  • Roast date. Anything with roast date older than ~2 months shall never be bought. Ideally freshest roast, and consumed within couple weeks. Meaning buying 1kg+ bags is irrational. Coffee bags without roast date should be avoided.
  • Mold issue. A lot of coffee goes moldy (Dave Asprey ref inc) quickly. Bali coffee is a great example.. Also when coffee kicks in sickest jitters and unease - most likely it is moldy.
  • Method of extraction (preparation). Moldy espresso machines are so common its ridiculous. Perhaps hand pressed espresso shots are the best?
  • NEVER should coffee be consumed without fat (ref inc). Personally have consumed it with MCT/coconut oil AND/or grass-fed(!) butter/ghee exclusively for a number of years now.
  • Spice additions that play well:
    • Cardamom: Heard somewhere that adding it helps men combat estrogen generating effects of coffee
    • Ceylon Cinnamon: Apart from great properties, adds a very nice note of taste
  • Synergistic supplements that can be added:
    • Lions Mane: neuro-genesis promoting mushroom. Best form is double extracted mycelium.
