RE: Coffee Time, A #comment to @wakeupkitty.pal's Post
If only I can drink much coffee than I will, it is because coffee will give us an achy stomach if we happen to drink more than five cups of it everyday and that is a given fact. Well I know because I am saying it out of experience when I was addicted to it during my school years where ii needed to wake-up my brain when I study. I do not have much money to buy any drinks whatsoever so I would end-up drinking coffee and sometimes I would drink more than usual and so it will cause stomach pain and I learned my lesson.
Drinking too much coffee would also hinders the body's (guts) ability to absorb iron from the food that we eat especially if we eat meat and leafy vegetables. So the idea is to either not drink too much coffee or time your consumption by avoiding drinking it if we will eat meats and vegetables. It will also be better to take some vitamin C with our meals because it helps our guts to absorb iron from our foods.
I had a regret the other day that I had some brewed coffee later in the day together with my final meal last Thursday because it affected my sleep and that is something that I miscalculated that day. I am only drinking coffee during the morning so that I can get some sleep if I wanted later in the day especially during the night because I am a light sleeper and would wake-up many times during the night, so if there will be caffeine in my system, then my sleep hours will get ruined.
Anyway, what I am drinking is a Liberica coffee, dark roasted, and fine-ground. I cannot have the freshly roasted and freshly ground because those are not sold here in my town, I am only buying it online. Half a kilo of it takes me months to consume because my mother can't drink brewed coffee nor any coffee for that mater because of her hyperacidity while my father has no acquired taste for it, he only drinks instant and the 3-in-1 coffee in small sachet packs. Liberica coffee is still pleasant to drink even if it is old because it has an intense aroma and tastes good. I had tasted other types of coffe but a dark-roasted Liberica coffee we call "Kapeng Batangas" that particular coffee named after the province that is well known in cultivating, processing and selling it was named after and is also known as "Kapeng Barako", the term Barako means "Stud" or "Tough man/men". I do think that you should try it. 😊☕♥
I am surprised you say that you had no money for drinks and that's the reason you drank coffee. With us coffee isn't the cheapest drink but "tea" is and even the cheapest soda is more afforI dable than coffee. I don't believe that many different types of coffee are sold. Perhaps online? I do remember a tea shop in the city of Arnhem. No idea if it still exist.
Do you drink your coffee black that it hurts your stomach? I only hear it from black coffee drinkers they have health issues not from those drinking it with milk but can be the black coffee drinkers consume it more as well.
There was a time I only drank black coffee but I don't longer like the smell which is stronger with coffee beans as it is with instant coffee or those sachets. I can understand your father likes the taste of that more. The coffee is different but it's also "sweeter" even though it's not noticed it is.
They grow the LIberica coffee plant in your country or is it all import from Africa or Indonesia? Again I learned something from you. Thank you for the information.
I wish you a nice cup of coffee in the morning but above all a good night without disturbance.

I learned to drink coffee, instant coffee that is because of my mother ad that is readily available in the house so I would have it especially when my caffeine level in m body becomes low after I got addicted to it during my younger years.
Now my mother had developed hyperacidity which is why she no longer drinks coffee while for myself I just have it one a day as a brewed coffee in the morning but I sometimes have it as a very pale coffee as instant coffee as my drink of choice when I have my second and final meal of the day because it helps me to eat. I do not like it to affect my sleep so I will just request my mother to fix me a very pale instant coffee for that matter.
The enjoyment of brewed coffee comes with the addiction to it, so if you are addicted to even with instant coffee, it is a very delightful drink to have even with teas if you had gone accustomed in drinking it. However if you would have both more than four times a day it will affect your stomach and develop hyperacidity plus as I had mentioned, will also affect iron absorption on the food we eat. But it has benefits if we consume coffee sparingly. Miss @wakeupkitty
It can help with the painkillers as well. We have painkillers with coffeine not that they help me so I no longer take them. Coffee makes me sleepy runds in the family and sleeping pills keep me awake.
I like ginger tea ir the one we call "starmint" but it also depends on the season and if it's available. Shops don't feel eager to buy new as long as they have old stuff. Many empty shelves the full shops are in the cities those living on the countryside are good for what is left.
