Originally posted by Bedlam-UK I'm really big on coffee drinking, especially during a late night/early morning mixing session......I drink freeze dried Douwe Egberts and sometimes sainsbury branded (leaves a bitter after taste though). I find I don't get as drowsey after 4 to 8 cups of coffee (in 2 hours) Just wondered what coffee you guys drink or recommend ?

And let me guess... you produce Hard house and happy harcore at 170bpm+ ?



For the record, I go out for my coffee's.. Gloria Jean's White Chocolate Mocha with a little bit of whipped cream.

Gloria Jeans is the best, but since I need to save money I've been just having the coffee brewed at work.

Apple has a really nice coffee area in the cafeteria.

On the subject of caffine (keep this thread going abit longer)
What about energy drinks -V, Redbull, Redeye etc etc.
I know plenty who have used them to try cram for exams the night before lol. I stay off caffine, since im not used to it when i try produce or mix just can not concentrate properly and i get too jumpy and inpatient.

I hate hot liquids, so naturally I'm an energy drink guy. Hype is my favorite, but it's so expensive and you get so little of it. Second fav is monster. They have twice the juice for the same dose, so it's nice when you're thirsty too.

I know of a guy who was so messed up from energy drinks he couldnt walk then was later taker to hospital. I can never remember what he took or how much but it wasnt ahell of alot. It was my cousins close friend. Im pretty close with my cousin and iv met this guy myself so everytime i see energy drinks i kinda freak out.

WTF?

Yeah I had a reaction to them once. Took only two doses (they say on the bottle you can take 2 per day), and I ended up in the ER. Thing is, I hadn't slept in 2 days. So if you take them, you just gotta make sure you're not overexausted. They're not a substitute for sleep - that's the lesson I've learned

I wish Starbuck's were open 24/7.

Personally I don't think this has much to do with music production, should've put it in another sub-forum.

With that said, my drink is Wiener Melange!
