I have always thought there is far more to it, as evidenced by the observation that if a prole devours a cup of coffee it somehow acts different than if she devours two cups of tea with the caffeine levels matched. It could be it is psychological (Billw, this is your territory, me lad.)

It is marketed very poorly in my opinion. They sometimes call it donut shop style. Eh, reject, terrible advertising. Reasoning: using the light roast makes it to where you can use more coffee in the machine without making it taste burnt, which means more of whatever chemical or psychological magic that coffee does to us. Use the lighter roast, put in half again more scoops into the machine, you get some really whoop-ass coffee, a marvelous rich flavor in a most delightful coffee-ey way.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt">spike<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p></div></div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><div><div><p class="MsoNormal">On Wed, Sep 28, 2022 at 9:22 AM spike jones via extropy-chat <<a href="mailto:extropy-chat@lists.extropy.org" target="_blank">extropy-chat@lists.extropy.org</a>> wrote:<u></u><u></u></p></div><blockquote style="border-top:none;border-right:none;border-bottom:none;border-left:1pt solid rgb(204,204,204);padding:0in 0in 0in 6pt;margin-left:4.8pt;margin-right:0in"><p class="MsoNormal"><br>...> On Behalf Of Stuart LaForge via extropy-chat<br>Subject: [ExI] Coffee consumption linked to increased longevity<br><br><br><a href="https://neurosciencenews.com/coffee-longevity-21524/" target="_blank">https://neurosciencenews.com/coffee-longevity-21524/</a><br><br><a href="https://academic.oup.com/eurjpc/advance-article/doi/10.1093/eurjpc/zwac189/6" target="_blank">https://academic.oup.com/eurjpc/advance-article/doi/10.1093/eurjpc/zwac189/6</a><br>704995<br><br><br><u></u><u></u></p></blockquote></div></div></div>_______________________________________________<br>
