[quote author="pkhamre" date="1285675145"]We have an "AeroPress":http://aerobie.com/products/aeropress.htm here at work. Combined with roasted beans from "Square Mile Coffee Roasters":http://shop.squaremilecoffee.com/ or "Tim Wendelboe":http://timwendelboe.no/ makes the perfect coffee! #coffeegeek[/quote]

Now I am tempted to drop by and bring a mug...

tamhanna, coffee is not only caffeine. It is ritual :)

giesbert

We have free coffee machines in the office, but I only neet the water heater to make my tea. I prefer tea, and I drink a lot of tea each day... but only black one

DenisKormalev

Gerolf, I'm with you hehe. I also prefer tea :)

tamhanna, it is individual. Tea helps me being awake more than coffee.

giesbert

:-) Tea is ok to stay awake, but don't cook it for 20 minutes...
And as I don't drink coffe (never didi it), what is the alternative?
And tea is really good...
I like the flavoer ones...

DenisKormalev

Gerolf, smoking helps me too. Sometimes Cola.

giesbert

Cola is only suggar, wuähh.. :-)
And I also don't smoke.
But Tea helps a lot, only 3 mins cooking and will get good ...

DenisKormalev

Gerolf, also sometimes physical exercises help me, but only if I'm not too tired before them :)

Doesn't coffee make your eyes tired and your heart beat fast? Makes my body awake but my eyes always get sleepy.

xsacha

Is that how you have stayed awake all night? :P Insomnia isn't good for your health.

giesbert

If you open the window from time to time, that also keeps you awake, especially in winter :-))

DenisKormalev

Gerolf, good advice, but not for such warm-lovers as I am :)

giesbert

Lunch every six hours? I should work at night :D

DenisKormalev

tamhanna, I think you've meant 2000 kcal :). Also AFAIK 2000kcal is not enough for man's body, it is ok for women. Man who does strong physical work needs around 3000 and man with mind work needs around 2500

No way, man who does mind work needs more than man who does physical work. Our brains need a power plant to function! ;) That's why all those nerds are skinny even though they sit down all day and eat junk food.

I wonder if the Trolls could test the effects of their poison (drink) of choice. Alexandra said Marius drinks sodas. Try him on coffee, see his productivity improve ;)

giesbert

Just give him Tea, that's better for the heart :-)

xsacha, mind work of course needs a lot of energy, but physical work needs a lot of more energy.
