    Yeah that doesn’t make sense. More like if the people drinking 3-4 cups a day are doing mental work vs physical work

      Im not convinced that picking Amazon packages, operating heavy machinery, doing data entry, or copy editing would have vastly differing performance changes from coffee consumption.

      However…

      I would imagine that an office worker might have more ready access to coffee, such as a communal coffee maker, than someone with less sedentary workspace.

        Read in a book about coffee that without coffee the Industrial Revolution wouldn’t have happened. Coffee fuels capitalism by making people work.

      I think the person is more of a deciding factor than the work. I drink a minimum of 6 a day and don’t notice much, but my partner can’t drink a sip of coffee without projectile vomiting and can only manage a can of monster over the course of a full day.

        Well tell them to stop mixing their Ayahuasca in with their morning coffee.

        I used to but boy teams meetings used to be really hard with you were going into another realm

        Coffee does fuck all to me, I don’t know if it’s the ADHD or years of drinking too much pop or something.

          It’s a psychosomatic reaction due to an experience they had as a toddler. They also really hate the taste and smell of it generally. So they aren’t really missing out.

            Finally, someone consistent. It’s so weird that so many people love the smell of coffee despite hating the taste. I don’t get it but I’m on team “coffee love” but can respect someone who puts their all into not loving it
