It made no noticable difference from using a preworkout such as C4/Jack3d, and now I can say it made no noticable difference compared to a good brewed french press coffee, or even a monster energy drink.
Good luck finding caffeine tabs now though, most places dont have them.

Cafe Vega Rio Claro bean - Medium Roast/Fine Ground: Very fruity and floral, feels like a blond roast, so not enough robustness for me. If I have to try this again, I'll ask them to dark roast it.
Flor de Arauca - Medium roast, fine grind: Dominant peach and plum notes, strong umami - almost like it has the other white stuff in it (MSG). I prefer more earthy coffee, but it's a nice variety from my norm.

Starbucks Sumatra - fine grind: Not as good as it used to be. Very neutral, some floral notes, but balanced with earthiness.
PriceSmart Colombian - Medium roast, medium grind: It's ok. Nothing special. On par with the Hong wing.
Waitrose Mountain Blend - medium/coarse grind: Cheap filler. Subpar, nothing special. Marginally better than instant coffee but the lowest ranked of all I tasted here.
For the overly floral beans, I find it tastes better when I mix the grind with a more robust one, and Hong Wing steps in as a pinch hitter here.

See here for Cafe Vega.

You can ask them to roast the bean how you like, as well as grind it to your preferences. Mr Floyd is the estate owner and he delivered the coffee to my home and we had a cool conversation about the state of local coffees and his varieties. I think they still figuring out roasting temps, so maybe ask for a dark roast.

A quick google looks like a type of Moka Pot
VexXx Dogg wrote:nah, everything in the Bialetti. It handles coarse grains like the Hong Wing, and fine powder like espresso.
I put it on a iron tawah on low/med heat and let it brew slowly, ~8-9 mins.

Starbucks killing people with those prices. Do you think there would be a market for Brazilian specialty coffee in Trinidad? I live in the heart of the Brazilian coffee growing region and artisan coffee is just something most people take for granted. Back in the day when anyone said coffee, it was either Nescafé or Hong Wing. Didn't really have an appreciation for it until my wife introduced me to the Brazilian coffee culture. I usually drink Melitta Sul de Minas, which is Minas Gerais coffee, the same place Starbucks gets their coffee from.
