I love the automatic coffee-machine monstrosity in the office kitchen. It is helping me ease out of my Starbucks addiction thanks to the following:
1 shot espresso
1 push hot chocolate button
1 shot espresso
It took me a few weeks to work out the right order and quantity of espresso/hot chocolate, but this is definitely a winner.
That too-much-caffeine shaky nauseousness that I missed so much is back! My objective is to keep up a steady stream until about 3:00 at which point my system should be sufficiently pumped to get me through the rest of the day while allowing me to come down just in time to go to bed.
