I only have one cup of coffee each day, but it’s a big cup — 14oz! I could drink coffee all day if my stomach and my nerves could stand it. Seeing as I only allow myself that one massive cup, I have been on the quest for a perfect cup of coffee and I think I’ve found it!
I ordered pure Kona coffee beans from Hawaii.
I grind 3 scoops fresh each morning.
I use reverse osmosis water and first let the coffee brew in a French press for three minutes and then pour it through a Melitta filter.
I drink it black.
Yum.
Argh! You’re making my mouth water…
I’ve just given up caffeine. Seven days and counting. Boohhoooo!
Hopefully it will help in the headache department. If only I could stay up past 9:00 pm.
Zzzz…
Ooops, sorry, you lost me for a minute there. Enjoy your java.(s)

Hi Hélène,
Can you drink decaf, or does it have too much caffeine in it for you? That is a HUGE sacrifice, giving up coffee. I hope your migraines appreciate your effort and leave you alone for good.
Hi Marsha,
I tried decaf, but for some reason it didn’t agree with me. I also had a bad diet coke habit (2-3 a day). Again decaf diet coke didn’t really do it for me.
So I’m now caffeine and aspartame free. No headaches this week so cross your fingers. **YAWN**

Hi Hélène,
Maybe it’s the aspartame, not the caffeine? My husband’s migraines are triggered by aspartame.
I suspect aspartame doesn’t help. The stuff is poison. Years from now we’ll wonder how it ever made it on the market!
