Coffee

I think coffee is too strong for my stomach. Is there a way to get caffeine without having coffee?

NoDoz tablets, if you're an Aussie truck driver.

Mountain Dew and energy drinks are very helpful for me.

Tea or maybe try a light roast coffee.

Also, IMO avoid Starbucks. My feeling is they go to the extreme selling Char Roast. To me it tastes like they roasted their beans with microwaves.

I don't drink coffee & I sometimes take Vivarin. Vivarin is a caffeine pill that has about the equivalent of a cup of coffee. I take it to help me wake up when I'm feeling tired. Other companies make them too like No Doz & there's generics/knockoffs. You can find them in the pharmacy section at stores like WalMart but I buy mine on eBay or Amazon depending on which is cheaper.

Yeah, avoid Charbucks/Fourbucks.

I love coffee... the effect, not the taste. I think it's safer than pills tho so I drink it. I like my coffee white, btw. Lotsa milk. No sugar.

Guarana has a higher caffeine content than coffee, but you might not find it any easier to tolerate.

There are chocolate candies spiked with caffeine. Cold brew coffee is less acidic.

You can take caffeine in solid form. There are caffeine pills you can buy over the counter with out perscription in any 7-11 or drugstore.

But I would recommend mountain Dew. Pepsi and coke are only around 40 mg of caffeine. Coffee is 143. But Mountain Dew is 89 mgs. Since you can "slam a dew" ( even while a driving) a car faster and more easily than you can sip hot coffee you get the effect faster. So unlike most soda you feel the caffeine.

I dont like energy drinks. I find the sensation (that jolt to your heart beat) a bit scary.

caffeinated chocolates are a thing.
i tried this kind the other day and definitely felt it. they tasted good too.


if you like tea go for black or yerba mate. i think also if you like prepackaged teas the brand celestial seasonings has a black tea & yerba mate blend. i forget what it's called but it has a bison on the box lol

cold brewed coffee does have significantly less acidity than regularly brewed coffee. you can make it at home easy if you have a french press, just pour cold water over grounds like usual but let it sit in the fridge overnight. in the morning, press. bam.

I hate not knowing about coffee. I been reading, it say dark roast has more caffeine.

Kopiko, they're caffeinated coffee-flavoured lollies. I'm guessing you've already tried simply putting more milk in coffee. Coffee actually has a relatively small amount of caffeine compared to things like energy drinks and is much less bad for you, so if you can have those, you could probably just have coffee.

Please keep in mind that caffeine is a drug and therefore needs to be taken in moderation, I love it but I make a conscious effort to keep to 1-2 cups a day. If you're going to take caffeine for the purpose of staying awake, just be careful and only take it when you genuinely need it, otherwise your brain will adapt to it and you'll have to start taking more and more for it to be effective, to the point where it's dangerous.

For what it's worth, coffee has never kept me awake, every day at school/uni I'd drink one in the morning then fall asleep in class a few hours later.

Espresso. No wait, nevermind.
