          For me, 1 20 fl oz cup of coffee, for my gf, anywhere from half a pot to 2 pots a day, and she sleeps better than I do

            I am too lazy to find sources, but I heard 500 mg is the limit (depending on weight and so on of course). That is around 5 coffees, give or take.

            No. Some people get jittery when they have more than one or have a cup too late in the day. But 400 mg of caffeine is fine. That’s four cups of coffee. Six or more a day can result in a rise in risk for cardiovascular disease. This could be considered not great, but a lot of other factors to into cardiovascular disease. So “quite bad” is quite a stretch.

        And you would be wrong, in Italy coffee is almost never drunk while eating something salty. Actually is mostly drunk alone as its own dish, aside from breakfast

          *they drink espresso based coffees.

          The italians invented lattes, cappuccinos, Americanos etc… most espresso based coffee finds its origin in Italy; it’s just instant coffee and whatever it is Starbucks are doing that they tend to scoff at.

            I think Americano was created by American GIs in Italy during WWI. They diluted espresso with hot water to make it more like traditional American coffee at the time.

            There’s also evidence of the term Cafe Americano in Central American Spanish.

            Australia and New Zealand also have the long black which is like an Americano but you add the espresso over the water to maintain the crema and get a stronger flavor.

            • and moka pot at home, which is not espresso, but makes a reasonable approximation for the fraction of the price of a real espresso machine
