Not that I am a coffee expert, but I guess having never drank coffee before it’s nice to have a new drink and new taste. A warm drink to relax at times. I now understand the appeal of hanging out in a coffeehouse everyday drinking coffee.

I never knew that caffeine works in the same parts of the brain as cocaine and heroine. So I guess it’s no wonder that caffeine is banned at the Olympics due that it increases endurance amongst other effects.

In November last year I quit caffeine cold turkey. No more iced tea, I drink decaf coffee and I drink decaf cola. And the few times I drink tea I drink tea without caffeine. And now thanks to this infographic I find out to my amazement that decaf is not really 100% decaf…..great.

Coffee lovers tell me that decaf coffee does not taste as good as regular coffee but to be honest I don’t see how the lack or not of caffeine affects the taste.

And finally that piece over Hitler getting caffeine and glucose injections sounds really far fetched, although considering all the craziness of that man, maybe not.

With caffeine the mainstay of the geek, and with some geeks thriving on graphs, this seemed like the perfect picture to put here. Useful, too, as you can now consider how much exercise you’ll have to do to work off that caffeine buzz.

Now we all knew that real, strongly brewed black coffee would give the biggest caffeine hit, but now you can choose a range of options depending on how much you need to be awake.

Just stay away from the milky, creamy stuff unless you’re thinking of boxing someone.

*Sigh* I am in love. Seriously. If there is one beverage that I cannot live without – aside from water, ok – it is coffee. I know that so many people say it is unhealthy; that too much caffeine is not good for you, and so on. But hey, once you taste my homemade brew, you would understand why I live off this stuff!

Going back to the pendant – yeah, it is a representation of the caffeine molecule. According to the guys at ThinkGeek, the pendant was designed by a “wayward Ph.D. post-grad in molecular biophysics.” The pendant measures in at 1.5 inches wide (that’s 3.81 cm) and is attached to a necklace that can be adjusted from 15 to 18 inches long (38.1 cm to 45.72 cm). The price tag? $84.99 (60.57GBP). Not a bad price since both pendant and chain are made of sterling silver.

Oh, and the whole thing comes packaged in a gift box – recycled of course – which also contains the necessary info to explain the caffeine molecule. Then again, you probably could explain it yourself, right?

If all jewelry pieces were designed in this way, I think that I would learn to love jewelry! (I really want this!!!)

Caffeine addicts united, this is the a great way to individualize your home, or maybe that coffee shop you own: coffee cup lights with saucers

Because these lights come with a rather hefty price tag (156.00EUR), this also seems a perfect project for DIY freaks. Then you’ll also be able to customize the cups as your mood changes. :)
