    a.k.a how i test my new coffee.

    everytime i get myself a new brand of coffee, be they instant or delayed coffee, i test their strength by pouring a thick (the call it "strong" in the west) cup (~500cc) and drink it before i go to bed.

    if it keeps me awake till 3-4am, i grade it strong.

    if i dozes off as usual, i grade it weak.

    some are in betweens.

    how do you test your coffee for strength.

    lets share.

    We have tinned instant coffe with numbers that are supposed to go up front 1-10 strength wise.
    I ever ever see them one that is 8 never any above

    I just get that or anything that sense "intense".

    taste and caffein content arent the same thing.

    even decaffed can have the "strength" of 10 and yet have 0 effect on your CNS.

    I drink about 6 cups and if my skin feels like tingly and I find myself feeling the blood moving around my body while I sweat I know it's good
