I recently learned that a scientist is ready to dose our doughnuts with caffeine. Apparently, a cup of joe with your cruller isn’t enough kick for our mornings. The brilliant alchemist has decided that we should sprinkle it into everything edible just as we’ve done with calcium and other nutrients. Except caffeine isn’t a nutrient, it’s a drug (and wonderful for headaches!)
I say stop this drivel and stand up and take your caffeine like a man (or woman). I recently raved about my new Krups Coffee Maker but truly it takes two things to tango. A great percolator and a powerful (caffeine infused) coffee. And for that I recommend Torrefazione. It’s a wonderful Italian roast line that used to be independent but got swooped up by Starbucks so it’s harder to find retail. But it’s absolutely worth seeking out online. In fact, you can seek it right here. Two and half pounds of beans or ground in several roast iterations that will light your brain fires. I’m particularly fond of the Perugia blend, a deep, full bodied brew that’s slightly sweet. Or, if you must go decaf, they have Montecatini Decaf with all the aroma intact. However, be careful you don’t accidentally buy a buzzed up beignet with that.
