How do you usually feel after a standard cup of black coffee on an empty stomach?
Totally fine, just the usual pleasant lift
A bit jittery unless it is milder or smaller
Quick body symptoms like flushing, itching, or stuffy nose
Fine with black, but problems show up when I add milk or syrups
undefined
Your ideal brew strength is best described as
Any strength works; I do not notice big differences
Noticeably better when it is weaker or half-caf
Even small sips can bring on fast physical reactions
Strength matters less than which add-ins I use
undefined
What happens if you drink coffee after 3 p.m.?
No problem; sleep is unchanged
Sleep suffers unless I choose decaf or very small amounts
I get quick-onset body symptoms regardless of time
It depends on the creamer/syrup more than the time
undefined
How do espresso shots treat you compared with drip coffee?
Feels similar; just tastes different
Too punchy unless I limit or dilute
Triggers rapid flushing or nasal congestion
Plain espresso is fine; problems start when I add milk or flavors
undefined
When you switch from hot to iced coffee, your body response
Stays steady; no real change
Improves slightly if the iced version is less strong
Still brings fast symptoms tied to coffee itself
Changes mostly depending on the sweeteners or milks I add
undefined
What is your pattern with decaf?
Regular or decaf, I feel about the same (fine)
Decaf helps a lot with jitters or sleep
Even decaf can trigger quick physical reactions
Decaf is fine until I add dairy or sweeteners
undefined
How predictable is your response to coffee across different cafes?
Very predictable; I feel the same most places
Varies with strength or serving size
Certain beans cause immediate physical symptoms
It depends on which milk or syrup they use
undefined
Your body's first signal after coffee tends to be
A calm, clear energy
Noticeable stimulation edging into jittery
Flush, itch, stuffy nose, or sudden GI urgency
Bloating or discomfort only when creamers/syrups are involved
undefined
What best describes your experience with flavored syrups?
No issues; fun treat
Extra stimulation if the drink becomes stronger or larger
Does not matter; I react even without syrups
Syrups often cause symptoms more than the coffee itself
undefined
How do alternative milks (almond, oat, soy) affect you with coffee?
All good; I feel fine
No change unless the drink is very caffeinated
I still get fast reactions even without dairy
Some alt milks cause issues, others do not
undefined
On mornings you skip breakfast and drink coffee, you usually
Feel normal; empty stomach is fine
Get more jittery unless I pair it with food
Experience quick body symptoms even with food
Do better plain; add-ins on empty stomach bother me
undefined
If you had to cut one thing to feel better, you would first try
Nothing; I tolerate coffee well
Less caffeine or earlier timing
Switching beans or brew style to test reactions
Removing dairy/syrups to test add-ins
undefined
How do you feel about half-caf blends?
Unnecessary; full-caf is fine
Helpful sweet spot for avoiding edginess
Still not enough to prevent quick physical reactions
Irrelevant; add-ins determine how I feel
undefined
Your experience with cold brew is
Same as other coffee-no issues
Too strong unless diluted or small
Still causes immediate flushing or congestion
Fine plain, but problems when I add creamers
undefined
After a large sweet latte, you most often notice
A pleasant treat feeling
Overstimulated or restless later
Itchy skin or nasal stuffiness soon after
Bloating or congestion from the dairy/syrup combo
undefined
How does your heart rate respond to strong coffee?
No noticeable change
Noticeable palpitations unless I reduce caffeine
Fast symptoms like flushing appear more than heart changes
Heart is fine; GI or throat issues show up with add-ins
undefined
When traveling, your coffee response
Stays steady across regions
Varies with drink size and timing
Changes sharply with certain beans or roasts
Depends on what milks/sweeteners are available
undefined
What happens with a second cup before noon?
Still fine-steady vibe
Too much; I prefer spacing or smaller pours
Body symptoms start quickly after the first cup, not just the second
Only problematic if the second cup has dairy or syrup
undefined
Your pattern with dark vs. light roast is
No difference in how I feel
Lighter or smaller pours feel safer
Specific roasts trigger fast reactions regardless of caffeine
Roast matters less than the creamer/sweetener choice
undefined
If you switch to tea instead of coffee
Feels similar-no issues either way
Much calmer; easier on sleep and nerves
I still get fast body reactions to coffee specifically
Tea is fine; dairy/syrups with coffee were the problem
undefined
Your go-to adjustment when coffee unsettles you is
Do not need adjustments
Smaller cup, half-caf, or earlier time
Try different beans or prep to see if symptoms change
Remove or swap add-ins one at a time
undefined
How do you fare with instant coffee packets?
Same as usual; totally fine
Sometimes too stimulating depending on strength
Still causes immediate physical reactions
Fine plain; reactions come from what I mix in
undefined
Your experience with sweeteners (sugar vs. artificial) is
No noticeable difference
Stimulation relates more to caffeine than sweetener type
Regardless of sweetener, coffee itself triggers symptoms
Some sweeteners clearly cause issues, others do not
undefined
How quickly do symptoms show up when they occur?
Rarely have symptoms
Edginess builds over 30-90 minutes
Within minutes of drinking
Timing depends on the add-in and amount
undefined
Your body after switching to smaller mugs for a week
No change; felt good as usual
Much better-less wired and sleep improved
Fast body reactions persisted
Main difference came from changing creamers, not mug size
undefined
When you skip coffee entirely for a day
Feel about the same
Less keyed up and sleep easier
Avoid the immediate symptoms that coffee causes
Still feel off if I consume the same add-ins in other drinks
undefined
How do you react to nitro cold brew?
Fun and fine, no issues
Too stimulating unless limited
Triggers quick-onset physical symptoms
Plain nitro is fine; dairy or sweet foam causes issues
undefined
How does your gut respond to coffee compared with espresso-based drinks?
No difference; both fine
Espresso drinks feel more stimulating
Both can quickly trigger GI urgency or skin symptoms
Plain espresso is fine; milk-based drinks bloat me
undefined
Your pattern with sweet foam or whipped cream is
A-OK; enjoyable treat
More stimulating only if the drink is large/caffeinated
Symptoms happen even without toppings
Toppings themselves often cause the trouble
undefined
How do you feel after a pour-over compared with French press?
Both sit well with me
Depends on strength; lighter pours are better
Either can bring rapid physical reactions
Response depends more on what I add to the cup
undefined
