    Strong medium roast, 2 Tbsp half and half, and a couple of stevia packets. In a quart freaking mug. I like tea more than coffee but if I've got 50 calories to spare this prep is well worth it.

    I've heard that stevia rots your brain, but you won't find out until you've used it for years.

      Stevia != Aspartame / Nutrasweet

        Well, no, it isn't. It rots different parts of the brain!

      Probably an improvement.

      Dude, I've got too much brain as it is. I been trying to kill off enough of the old brain cells with various recreational chemicals to get down to "above average" since I was 13. That old saying "ignorance is bliss" is no fucking lie. Being able to see people being astonishing idiots with extreme clarity ain't all that fun.

        A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it’s the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members.

        In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Now, as we know, excessive intake of alcohol kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine.

        And that is why you always feel smarter after a few beers.

        All that self-reflection hurts huh? Guess drinking lets you ignore it instead of improving yourself.

    Yeah, Stevia manages something approaching sugar sweet without the cloying, persistent coating of syrup in your mouth actual sugar leaves. It's my go-to if I feel the need for something to be sweetened lately. It ain't perfect but it's a hell of a lot closer than anything else. Straight up heavy cream is sweet enough for me though.

    Random side note: A coffee cup of heavy cream, chocolate syrup, and cream of coconut from your local house of booze make for a seriously badass take on chocolate milk. It's like drinking a Mounds candy bar.

    Strong medium roast, 2 Tbsp half and half, ... In a quart freaking mug.

    You call that coffee? 30g of coffee per 1 liter of water?
    Good God, a good coffee starts from 1:9 coffee/water ratio.

        Given that I'm having doubleshot espresso-s, in my case it pretty close to 1/1.
        (I find I'm missing my Colombian baristas downstairs from the office. Turkish brews are easier at home)

      No, no, 2 Tbsp of half-and-half added to the mix. I know well the ratio for mixing :)
