A few tips if you didn't try yet:

- drink some water before the coffee

- ideally, don't drink it on an empty stomach

- use a dark roasted coffee, they are softer on the stomach (and way tastier)

I cut coffee for a year or so 10 years ago due to stomach issues, then slowly added fancy espresso drinks back, figuring that if I was only having coffee once a week, it might as well be fancy. I don’t seem to have stomach issues now with 1-2 lattes/cappuccinos a day.

Maybe it’s unrelated, all in my head, better beans, or the 3-4 oz of whole milk, but maybe give espresso drinks a try if you haven’t?

Do you add whole milk to coffee? The casein and fat should help to reduce acidity and make it easier on the stomach.

If you can't do that, I've heard of people adding a sprinkle of baking soda as a buffer to black coffee. I'm not sure how much you'd need, probably just a tiny amount that you'd barely be able to taste.

As a mentally ill vampire, I try to only feed on coffee drinkers.

I've been self-medicating ADHD with multiple cups of coffee a day since I was 17. I'm in my early 30s now, and after getting on Vyvanse, have reduced then given up coffee. I realised that coffee was the reason for my anxiety which builds up towards the end of the day.

I reduced my coffee down to 1 espresso per day two months ago, and quit entirely two weeks ago. I'm still on stimulants, but Vyvanse treats ADHD much better and has fewer side-effects.

Yesterday I drank a whole pot myself then had another cup or two. Keeps me in the game.

Where does that put me? Caffeine poisoning or immortality with no in between?

> 2-3 cups' worth

> basically a vampire now.

Do you mean 2-3 liters?
