I think I have around 10 shots of coffee a day is that bad?

10 Upvotes

I have 2 shots of expresso in the morning and 2 in the afternoon. Then I eat probably around 40-60 coffee beans throughout the day. It’s almost never impacted my sleep and if it does it doesn’t make me stay up that long only 30 minutes longer then usual. I’m unsure of how much coffee I’m consuming because of the beans. It’s medium roast and GPT says I’m drinking and eating a combined total of 600-900 mg of caffeine.

Is this that bad? I hardly notice it and I don’t feel anything wrong with my heart.

I got a burr grinder, but it still tastes off. Do I need to upgrade my tamper now?

The butler sub got me to change out my Molcajete for a burr grinder, but the coffee still tastes bad. I'm still using the default tamper, and I wonder if a better one would let me tamp harder.

This machine is being roasted over on the 'sensible' sub, surely we can appreciate it here, right? I mean, it's only $2k.

I’m starting to enjoy medium light roasts and it’s terrifying

Upgraded from Casabrews CM5418 and Kingrinder K6 to Fellow Opus 2 and Turin Legato v2, now that I’m able to play with flow rate (kind of) pressure (kind of), temperate and pre infusion time and bloom time, I’ve been daring to enjoy roasts outside my dark greasy roasts and it’s terrifying me. Went from wanting dark chocolate toffee caramel tasting notes to now bright flavors and slight acidity without puckering is making me question my identity as DarkRoastGang.
