I usually have one to two cups a day, sometimes three. The latest I usually have a coffee is around four in the afternoon unless I’m drinking socially.

I’ll also drink tea a few times a week.

Never drink instant. I grind my beans on demand and usually brew with an aeropress if I’m making one, or the appropriate sized moka pot for making several. (I also have a couple of coffee syphons, which are fun to watch, but too fiddly and too much cleanup for everyday use.)

I had a gastric bypass 1.5 years ago[1], which has made my ‘stomach’ a little more delicate. Some days everything is fine, other days it’ll sit a bit heavy or sour in the tummy. I’m also definitely sensitive to dairy now, and find lactose free milk more tolerable. Have switched from a cappuccino to a long black with just a squirt of cold milk when buying at the shop.

I want to try Death Wish Coffee[2] sometime just for a lark, but the cost of shipping to the Antipodes is ridiculous.

I’m also a big fan of Mr Black[3].
