Nálí regularly had coffee cooking on his wood stove in his shop. We call it cowboys coffee.
Weak coffee all day long is an entirely defensible life choice.
What is the beauty of drinking weak coffee all day long?
Steady Energy — Since weak coffee has less caffeine, it provides a more steady and gentle energy boost without the jitters or the sharp spikes and crashes often associated with stronger coffee.
Hydration — Coffee, even when weak, still contains a significant amount of water, so sipping on it all day contributes to your daily hydration needs.
Digestibility — Weak coffee is generally easier on the stomach and less likely to cause digestive issues, which can be a concern with stronger brews.
Taste Enjoyment — For people who like the flavor of coffee but find strong varieties too intense, weak coffee offers a way to enjoy the taste without being overwhelmed by it.
Reduced Anxiety — High doses of caffeine can sometimes contribute to feelings of anxiety. Lower caffeine levels in weak coffee may help avoid this while still providing enjoyment.
Extended Enjoyment — With a lighter brew, you can enjoy greater volumes of coffee over a longer period of time without the adverse effects that might come with consuming too much caffeine too quickly.
Financial Saving — Given that you can use less coffee grounds to achieve the desired weaker brew, it can be a more economical choice over time.
Social Aspect — Sipping weak coffee at a leisurely pace can be a great way to enjoy social interactions without the rush that comes with highly caffeinated beverages.
Mindful Drinking — Drinking weak coffee allows for a more mindful experience, as you can savor the nuances of the beverage and appreciate its subtle flavors without the overwhelming impact of higher caffeine levels.
