PandoraX: Ummm, maybe you've built up tolerance to it? Caffeine is a drug, so the body builds up a tolerance to and even minor dependance on it.The strength of the coffee and how sleepy/exhausted you are would also factor in I guess.
I'm not doing any really unusual amounts, cup at 8am maybe around 2pm and possibly one at 6-8pm. Though I just had two cups in the past 2 hours they were the first since Friday night.
Medsummer: There is a blend of Nestle's I think with a green cap on the jar, (instant I know...please forgive me!) where they are supposed have not roasted the beans as much as the traditional coffee. "They" say it has more of the natural ingredients left in and not burned away by the roasting. Does anyone have any info on this?
Forgive you? I'm joining you, hun! Like I'm going top brew a whole pot of coffee for just me? As if! I like to mix it with cocoa powder for a really tasty drink.
I use instant, though I haven't tried the green stuff... and I was wondering about that too.
Coffee can't GIVE additional energy, we have what we have. Coffee can only push your cells works more active and burn their resources... Do you really think that it is something positive?... it is normal that we can't work as robots all the time very active, we need some rest and relaxation too. Pushing be active all the time is against nature.

Aint you sweet taking what I said as serious and making this argument! So cuuuuuuuuute!!!
Medsummer, double check your green cap coffee. Usually green caps Indicate Decaffeinated coffee. Here in the states it does.
Incidentally, I drink a 12 cup pot of coffee every morning.
The body does build a tolerance to it as a user said previously.
Occasionally I stop drinking coffee and then after a few weeks begin again and I am wired! lol If you do this, it's better to ween yourself off the coffee. reduce your intake by half each day. when your at a cup, the next day have just a spoonful of it and you can avoid the caffeine withdrawal headache.
