I mean a black coffee with a couple shots of expresso is nice. Just as long as there's no freaking sugar or cream in it! Duncan's coffee is just not good however. I don't mind their wakeup wraps but I'd just go ahead and drive over to star bucks for their coffee.

And that heart thing sounds like something I'd get checked out. Black coffee doesn't have more caffeine than coffee filled with sugar...or poured over ice.

No I'm perfectly fine drinking any black coffee. It's just Starbucks black coffee is more potent than any other coffee I have tried. Like I said I can drink anything on Starbucks menu besides their black coffee. That stuff is STRONG!

Dunkins is pretty good if you ask me. No their quality is not as good as Starbucks but it gets the job done. I always add an expresso shot in my iced coffee drinks to give it more of a kick.

Winter is when I usually do my black coffee. Nothing like a black coffee and a doughnut to start your day.


I drink Starbucks everyday. Venti iced coffee / soy milk and 1 Stevia. I tried Dunkin but the coffee is watered down
Yeah I agree on Dunkins coffee veing watered down. That's why I always add an expresso shot to my iced coffee. It still ends up being cheaper than my Starbucks order.

It's the same coffee in all their drinks...black or filled with sugar and cream it's the exact same...
iced coffee can be watered down.

Drinking hot black coffee will be much stronger than coffee with ice.

Isn't the ice coffee cup bigger? Just drink less coffee lol. If anything combining caffeine with sugar is going to create a more intense response as you'll get an insulin spike to go with your speed!

Im a pretty healthy guy. I work out at least 5 days a week. Im just saying some coffee are just stronger than others.

Starbucks hot coffee makes my heart skip beats. But the iced coffee I can drink with no problems. Maybe im just not meant to be drinking Starbucks hot coffee. :lol:

I am skipping out on MyCareer though. Those microtransactions are a major turn off

Yes, the gameplay is much better. I have played a dozen 48 minute games in myleague already. I don’t think I’ve put that much time into 22 and 23 combined.

I’m also skipping mycareer. I bought the championship edition because of the league pass subscription so I started off with 100k vc, but when all that vc would only take my dude from a 60 overall to 74, I said f no. Is there even a story in this iteration? Rather spend that vc on mygm skills if anything

Yes, and then I had the same amount from the same product and it didn't. There's a lot to the topic. Saying hot coffee impacts you vs cold isn't going to be supported by science.

No iced coffee vs hot, but none the less temperature doesn't impact the rate of absorption of caffeine.

This might be a worse take than your Donic stuff, where an MVP trumps winning in the playoffs and Tatum who lost to the exact same team as luka, while playing worse, gets ranked higher because his team was in a later round. At least with sports you can argue on speculation and opinion. This is just "cold" science lol.

I can drink coffee any time of the day. Caffeine does not effect me. I fall under the 2% of the population that caffeine has no effect on our nervous systems.

Coffee is beneficial to your heart which is why I drink it. The coco bean has health effects aside from caffeine

I do drink coffee all day, but if I take a few weeks off, the impact is apparent again. But if you're drinking the 6-8 cups a day that I do...it doesn't do much. But that's just tolerance.

Its' just tasty stuff, at least black.

Man your heart may react differently to caffeine than someone else.

Im pretty sure you can google Starbucks and people who have had jitters from drinking their coffee.

Get with reality bro. This is not about science. This is about human body reactions to caffeine.

As far as my Doncic take you need to let that go. I have him in my top 10. When he wins a MVP or lead his team to the Finals I will put him in my top 5.

If you drinking 6-8 cups a day, you might need to visit a doctor. That sounds like a caffeine addiction my man.

My grandfather drank 20+ cups of coffee a day for 70 years. He started drinking coffee at 15 and didn’t stop until he passed away.

How is this even physically possible?

20+ cups of a coffee every day that doesn't seem believable. Im sure he had some sick days in which he couldn't drink much coffee.
