We all know that coffee is a major source of caffeine. You know, that addictive stuff that jolts you into artificial wakefulness and makes your heart palpitate if you’ve had too much. I don’t know if it’s from years of drinking coffee but that effect on me is more psychological than physiological now. I perk up not so much at the influx of the substance in my bloodstream, but at the thought that it is already in my bloodstream. It is an addiction, I know.

These days, I get my major caffeine fix from kapeng barako instead of coffee from the vending machine outside. I got 250 grams of the stuff for just P55 from Taal Market and I brew a batch every morning at the office. Waaay better coffee at a much lesser value. It’s a win-win situation really. 😀 And I feel instantly calmer at the first sniff of that heavenly aroma. Thank God for coffee.
