With the science-backed techniques in this PDF, you can use caffeine to exceed a month’s worth of work in less than a day.
Hey Rian, can you please reduce the volume of the music and sound effects in the background so that we can better hear what you're saying? I'm not saying to eliminate it altogether, just to reduce the volume by 20%. Thanks man.
Bro tell them the truth that the real molecule is methamphetamine. Coffee is a 2yr olds starter pack
Can you do a video on cannabis? I find it can give me an incredible amount of focus and cognitive endurance but it can be a bit of a coin flip. Sometimes it just gives me the stereotypical brain fogginess.
Do you happen to know what 100mg of caffeine is in cups?
@@chi1l21 depends on the strength of the brew

Thanka alot
I absolutely hate a 15 minute video that can be done in 5. No need for all the filler. Thanks for condensing it
@@meowow-qt1sk not for me. It is filler that doesn't add valuable information for the time it takes up. Still some good tips
@@SerpentinePleasuremaybe you should work on not having the attention span of a goldfish
"I don't think I need caffeine to focus. When I really want to get something done, I open my eyes wide and deeply focus on the particular thing that I want to get done, and sometimes I get goosebumps from how focused I am. I think I can control how focused I am."
Well this video is Not for SUPER HEROS !!
who said that?
Who asked?
The previous commenter
The problem with caffeine is that it gives a surge in dopamine. So you'll start expecting that surge if consumption is regular and therefore motivation will be less. Its not for everyone.
I have noticed and observe how fast the growth of your subscribers in your youtube channel every hour and every day is insane!!! I'm shocked and blown away how you beat those other gurus who teach about self improvement
Great video! One tiny correction re: 7:30, it's adenosine, not cortisol, that "competes" with caffeine in binding to A1 and A2A receptors. Cortisol doesn't bind to those or the other adenosine receptors.
Also it can't stimulate adrenaline and nor-adrenaline at the same time.
What does one week off per quarter mean ?
@@UdhantikaPradhan 1 day off a week, and 1 week off every 3 months.
Following your advice has changed my life! You are a gem in terms of content here on UA-cam. By all means, keep it up!
can you summarize what you are doing?
Thank you for watching!
its just coffee bro its not that deep stfu
Caffeine affects different people in a different way.
Myself as HSP (Highly Sensitive Person) I am very sensitive to caffeine. I normally have a cup of tea 1-2 hrs after waking up. Then in the afternoon I have a cup of green tea (which works very well for me as I don't experience any crashes in the afternoon/evening).
I can focus very well with this combo. Previously I used to drink coffee (just one cup a day) and was anxious, unfocused, tired (experienced crash around lunch time) and wasn't very productive tbh. After quitting coffee, the first day was a nightmare, then after a few days started feeling better, less anxious and energised.
Good video nonetheless especially pointing out the importance of sleep which is SO important when it comes to wellbeing,. productivity, physical recovery, etc.
Oh yeah, that's pretty common for certain neurodivergencies. Depends on which ones you have I suppose, but makes sense.
When i consume caffeine sometimes it doesn't effect me during the day. But when its night and i am trying to sleep that energy kicks in out of nowhere and demolishes all my sleeping chedule
Mycotoxins stop drinking moldy coffee.
Same here! Im adhd combined /hsp
@@GODHATESADOPTION you have no control over that, also you cant know how much caffeine is in the coffee, studies show caffeine content is widely random in cups of coffees. The only real option is caffeine pills an no coffee.
I’ve been using the l-theanine for years now and it does make a big difference.
Since I’ve developed tolerance to coffee, it’s not always that I like to pair it with l-theanine. It’s usually with a bigger cup. Also, on some occasions l-theanine may make me feel “too zen” and relaxed
Thanks for sharing!
have you tried theacrine? it is def a different experience, but i dont see it talked about very often
@@RCodyWanner I have, for 1 month. I don't think I've noticed a huge difference from coffee. Did you?
They say the benefit of theacrine is that the brain doesn't tend to develop a "tolerance" for it.
wouldn't modafinil be better for this its superior.@@riandoris
did it make your hair fall out?
I used to drink at 2-3 cups of coffe per day for the last 10 years, then I quit one year ago. When i tried coffe after a few months of abstinence i noticed it's true potential. Now i only use coffee when i am fatigued, or when i really need to deliver peak performance. One cup at least an hour before mealtime and at least 10 hours before sleep. This makes it a magic potion.
The problem with this concept is that you're not going to deliver peak performance most of the time.
@@pietlebrun5943you won't while drinking caffiene daily either.
Thank you for doing these videos you really helped me and I had no idea why for the past few years I just keep struggling to finish projects. I see everyone else doing great things and I get sad because I feel slow held back and tired, but I’ve been using the info in your videos and have really seen some difference. Thank you
You are so welcome!
I'm an alum of Stanford and Harvard. Your videos are real epiphanies for me. Also a champion athlete and coach of several sports. I met with my friend Carol Dweck at Stanford about her book, Mindset. We also discussed my upcoming book, MindSHIFT. Your work is shifting my mind on important things. Thank you !!
But you also recommend starting work within 90sec
When do I brew the coffee
Maybe after a session of flow state like after 1 hr or 45 min so it will catchup with the andrew research too
@@Marinesthing so we should have our first caffeine intake mid work in the morning ?
Automatic coffee machine! It's amazing.
I would also like to know this.
Me personally I felt the 4th category resonated with me the most but in my head I felt the need to say "if I feel the need to use it at all" which very often I don't.
I love that bgm. Sounds flow inducing.
You can run the same video with any stimulant and it'll be true. I know if it was cocaine it might hit different, but it would be the same.
You know what also triggers flow? Placebo. Believing something to be true tends to work almost as good. Studies into placebo (and the negative no-cebo counter part) reveals that it's much less about a substance as it is about a ritual or conviction that something will work. I'm sure a lot of people have listened to "neural beats" or sounds in hope that it would trigger a flow state and as it turns out this might work really well for a while.. because of placebo. This is great news, because if you can "trick" yourself into believing something is true or real for you, you can use it and that means fairly unharmful things can be turned into good things. Just be mindful, since there's plenty people ready to take advantage of it to sell you all sorts of garbage and gadgets
So what's your thought on caffeine?
Thing is you wouldnt want to experiment with coke doses and breaks lol
@Rian Doris is easily my best hack of productivity in 2023. The value of his videos is just crazy!!! Keep doing what you are doing Rian! 💯💯
Thanks for watching.
Found your channel this morning via a recommended video & I'm glad
I'm so glad!
I had a good experience with coffee recently during work. Preface, I had stopped drinking coffee entirely for about three weeks during my vacation so my tolerance was pretty much reset to zero. Then one day at work I felt really bad overall, mentally and physically. So I drank coffee and It literally made EVERYTHING better, from feeling tired and mentally down I suddenly felt normal. Now I didn't notice the boost of energy in a drastic sense just because I was so tired, still the effect was drastic enough to pull me from that sub-optimal state to a much more functional state.
How much did you drink and what type of coffee was it?
@@-SimonRiley literally just a cup of regular black coffee
@@iphone4wsom3 you know all the cups around the world don't measure the same right. I ain't no American mate
Incredible video. I always find it interesting when I hear tips like these and realize I've already been incorporating a few of them unconsciously in my life. The way I self-taught myself back into school was via Khan Academy, where I always drank a cup of coffee a little while after I woke up and worked for as long as I felt like it (generally 2-3 hours). I did this for a few months and I re-learned math all the way from algebra I to pre-calculus. I can honestly say that I learned more in that time period than any other time frame in my life, despite only working for as little time per day as I did. I've subsequently gone through calc 1-3 with little trouble so you can't say that it wasn't effective either. I still learned a ton from this short 15 minute video though, such as the pavlovian synergy and the power of 'caffeine companions'. This is all to say I think this video may honestly be one of the most important on the web despite (or maybe because of) its short length - concise, powerful tips like these really have the power to change lives. Will definitely be sending this to a couple friends, thanks for the insight.
Thank you for putting out such great content Rian!!
It seems like I might have transitioned from the unminful caffiene user to the reformed to the skeptic perhaps. I do occassionally use caffiene. Its high time to transition into the mindful master!
Thanks for sharing this!! 🙂
You are welcome.
This has become my new favorite channel!
Thanks for watching.
Taking the weekend off caffeine, while also doing active recovery seems to be a powerful combo for setting yourself up for success on Monday.
I agree with all the points except the one on increasing ur caffeine dosage when you are not well-rested/fatigued. During those moments, it is crucial that u don't consume caffeine to let your body take its proper rest later that night. Or else, you're stacking sleep debt upon sleep debt and it won't end well. You're literally damaging your brain if u take too much caffeine on lack of sleep days.
You really should have a reference for "damaging your brain". If you obey the 10 hours rule before bed time, a higher dose of caffeine would provide you a steeper decline into restful sleep at night.
@@Learned333 tell me u don’t bio without telling u don’t. If u double the dose and still follow the same 10hrs before rule, after that 10hrs, u will have double the dose of caffeine left than usual. Are u dumb? It will be harder for u to fall back to sleep. Cos the adenosine can’t bind to the receptors enough.
Need more details and proofs about “Damaging your brain”, sounds like a stretch of a statement
@@Learned333I agree but I personally try to keep it to 12 hours before bed if possible
Short term sleep deprivation has no long term cognitive effects as long as you eventually sleep it off, so push really hard for a few days and feel like shit, then pass out and recover
I’ve have been drinking coffee for many years and have never experienced withdrawal when abstaining from it. My secret, which I have intentionaly practised since I began, is to fully randomize when I drink coffee. Some weeks I drink coffee five times, and other weeks 0 times, some days I drink it in the morning, and other days in the noon, and unless I have an important task infront of me I’ll always keep the milk to coffee ratio high. Remember! If your body doesn’t get used to recieving coffee at a certain regular time and place, it also won’t crave for it, AND make sure to water/milk down the caffeine dosage on most occasions in order that you might be more receptable to its effects when you really need them.
Thanks! WHat about the frequency? How many days can you leave between taking caffeine?
@@ai1888 I don't know, but I think in general you should probably take about 2-5 days off of caffeine a week (keeping the amount of days a week random but somewhere within that range), and those days that you take it you could probably take it pretty frequently as long as there is a variation of the timings and/or environment within each day between the days. I think the most important thing to keep in mind is to utilize it mindfully, aka being aware of whether you're taking it for pleasure or for performance, and intentionally keeping the dose lower (perhaps using more milk) when you taking it just for pleasure.
good advice, thank you
its just coffee bro its not that deep stfu
its honestly crazy how much i get done without having caffeine in my life. As someone completely detached from it im really interested to start using it mindfully
He looks like he's gonna beat you up, get on his motorcycle and set a building on fire on his way home. But no, he's just telling you how to consume caffeine.
😂 too much caffeine
Your cinematography is beautiful
I know this video is old but, I took some notes to it so if anyone sees this, you're welcome.
1. caffeine conditioning | what we mean by this is to condition the brain to relate caffeine to work. So if you drink coffee you should get straight to work after that, since, after awhile this makes your brain think “oh caffeine, I guess it's time to work”
2., flow state is a 4 stage process | Struggle - release - flow - recovery | During struggle we struggle to work and we get easily distracted so using coffee or caffeine in general which helps with focus, we can shortcut this phase and go straight to release which allows us to stay focused, alert and working without needing caffeine.
3. Do not drink caffeine before 30-90 minutes of waking up and not within 10 hours before bed
4. calibrate your dose | too little caffeine wont do anything for you but too much will make you jittery and not focused which is why you need to find YOUR perfect dose.
5. if you drink caffeine you must accompany it with a 1:2 ratio of water. So 100ml of
caffeine = 200ml of water.
6. Don't drink it all the time | For every week you should take one day off from caffeine, and for every quarter you should take a week off. This allows you to retain a low tolerance to the drug, allowing you to really feel the affects.
How the hell do i get the ratios right when im drinking coffee where idk the exact amount of caffeine
@@algirdasltu1389 one cup of joe = two cups of water
Amazing video. Thank you.
Rian, if you ever record yourself reciting something written for children, such as Silverstein, I’d listen to it daily. Speaking in your pedantic/heroic tone about stumps and love and boughs would be a treasure. Thank you for the content!
this video is so relevant to my daily life
This is a massive blessing to us. Thanks you!
Our pleasure!
Best way to be able to achieve flow state is to have your mind organized which by extension means that you need to have your life organized which again leads to physical health so get those things in check and you won't need caffeine.
I am a semi skeptic. I don't want to be like one of those people who are grumpy before they have a coffee and can't survive without it.
Don't like the taste of coffee, tea doesn't help much so I'll have an energy drink if I really need to.
I do have to fix my sleep hygiene first and then take it from there.
Great video as always.
same LOL.
smart. As he said, sleep is the foundation. If you use caffeine as an amplifier, rather than a crutch, you won't join the grumpy hordes.
great editor you have there
The study Rian referenced suggests waiting 90 mins after waking before having your first cup of coffee. This will help avoid the early afternoon fatigue crash; which many people address by having a second cup of coffee, not realizing the 2nd afternoon cup could disrupt a healthy sleep cycle (could).
Also studies suggest the healthier you are, the more caffeine your body can handle without getting jitters. The 2nd afternoon cup may not actually disturb your evening sleep, depending on the state of your overall health.
Such an inspiration!
Could you let me know when is it going to be publish the article that you were talking about from Dr. Michael Mannino?
I am a psychology student and I want to make my thesis on this correlation.
Thank you!
Thanks
Caffeine and meditation feels amazing
I think this cannot be applied on me. I have been trying to get the benefit of Coffee for awhile but the Caffein even on a very small amount increase my anxiety instead of helping me increase my own Focus maybe due to its stimulation of Cortisol and Epinephrine.
Let me tell you what worked for me, during the 'Struggle phase' I will try to boost up my conciousness of present moments by doing Mindfullness. By that it enhances my Focus, reduce stress especially on the "Struggle" phase and during that Mindfullness exercises I am stepping into the 'Release' phase.
In conclusion, my body doesn't treat Caffein as a friendly substance but more like a 'Toxic' to my mental health.
I don't doubt that these caffeine commandments are good advice in general. But there remains a significant issue. While Doris is out here sharing this information with (currently 55k viewers), the research he's citing is A: from his own organization. This organization sells programs and therefor holds a profit incentive. And B: Isn't even published yet. So while it might be published at the time of this comment, that makes over 2 months of spreading this information that no other researches have had the opportunity to replicate and verify.
He's far from the first youtuber to do this and it is a significant problem with pop science in general. They usually present their "findings" to the general public en masse while the research about it isn't even available for cross examination and replication by other researchers. I love watching short pop science videos, but Its always important to note potential profit incentives in channels like this as you watch them.
Conversely, every scientific reference you try to share with people about the very real global warming and water scarcity issues are met with "oh that's biased science" .... So I think the whole thing is kind of a wash.
Good content, brother. But one thing i find annying are the white dots and lines that flash up. I find the video hectic enough with the fast cuts and sounds. Thats the one critique i have.
12:35 - 2:1 Ratio (L-Theanine + Water)
14:02 - Calibrate stim impact via fasting (1x/week + 1week/year)
Intresting take. But, practically speaking, how do you take your coffee 30 min after waking up without interupting your work and thus f***ing up your flow, if one wants to follow your other advice of working just after waking up?
Or maybe brewing it could by your moment of "release" ? Speaking of which, is release something that happen by itself, or you are better served by consciously initiating it ? If so, are there internal cues you need?
I like your overall models and ideas, I would love a bit more details on the timing and how to operationalize all your videos toghetter :)
Thank you for the tips. What about drinking coffee with milk? Does it have the same effect?
what a fantastic video thank you !
Thank you for watching!
You can shortcut your start time quite a bit by taking sea salt such as Redmonds or Celtic sea salt when you first awake. You see, the cortisol is primarily trying to knock electrolytes out of various tissues and whatnot from what I've researched. Taking the sea salt gives you the sodium bicarbonate and the potassium bicarbonate you need to stop the cortisol sooner and fill the system with what it needs faster than just twiddling your thumbs for 90 minutes. Take the half to whole tablespoon in the waking hour and drink plenty of water. Then you can have your coffee in 15-30 minutes I would estimate.
its just coffee bro its not that deep stfu
Thank you!!
Interesting and usefull, thank you-
Love your work mate especially the video editing . Would love to have a video made on use of music in productivity
Thanks for the idea!
Do you know the name of the sound effect in the first 10 seconds? I'm trying to find it but can't find it
Just want to say that I watched this video on Monday, then structured my first 4 hours of the day similar to what was recommended, and I proceeded to be focused for like 16 hours straight. I wasn't tired, I wasn't hungry, I was clear, focused, and productive. Then, the next day I did it again, focused for 9 hours, and finally caught up on a month of work. I don't think it's good to do it every day, but at least once or twice a week is probably good.
Additional info, this may or may not be relevant, in the past week I've been sleeping a modified Da Vinci schedule. Can't go that extreme personally. But I've been sleeping about 2 REM cycles, then whenever I wake up (whether that's 4am or 10am) I just start my day. Sometime in the middle I take a 2-3 hour nap. I work until midnight-2am and start again.
Notably, in the past two days I haven't needed the nap, but otherwise, the 2 REM cycles + mid day nap has been enough for me.
thank you for confirming the right usage of coffee. Question, what about sugar in coffee?
Effective communication; and cool beats in the background (reminds me of Endel)
I’ve done a year with no caffeine and felt fine. After that one year I I only had caffeine between a 10am-12pm window and felt good. For some reason when I recently doubled my caffeine intake to 4 espresso shots so around 240mg of caffeine so my second half of that would be around 4pm. Since I’ve done that I’ve been sleeping so much better and getting more deep sleep. Interesting.
when do you sleep?
I have reverse effects on coffine that means sometimes im drinking my coffe before going to sleep and this phenomenon is pretty common amongst adhd people like me
This is a really useful and actionable video, thank you for sharing it.
You're very welcome!
Thanks i took notes
Agree with most of the above. Adding to that, I fast from 6pm to midday, so I have entered ketosis when I begin work in the morning. I make sure my brain gets extra ketones by adding MCT, and I include taurine to promote calm. Oh, and I read for half an hour in bed to prime my skills and knowledge relevant for the next day. Also - have days off, because even peak performance can become uncreative!
What does one week off per quarter mean?
I usually combine my coffee with methylphenidate to get into focus
I drink coffee only before a work or exercise, i double my espresso to get myself into running.
On my off days i don't drink it. I just started doing so after 25 years of not drinking coffee at all.
thank you for this great video, really resonate with the coffee and water balance and detoxing on a weekly basis!!!!
You're so welcome!
Excellent
I would also give credit to cholinergics and their effect on working memory like cotinine from tobacco products
I had to cut out caffeine years ago. I started drinking 1 cup a morning and it really helped but I'm super sensitive to it and it gives me headaches ☹️ but it has always made me super productive. I have a kind of love hate relationship with it.
Great content.
Thank you.
This is an excellent video. Had me hooked from beginning to end.
So overdramatic
@@TheEsotericProgrammer the irony of your comment is pathetic
@@DeMenteMinds I wasn't referring to your comment, I just mean the way this guy talks about caffeine is so sensationalised 'Become a master of coffee' like calm down
@@TheEsotericProgrammer oh I'm calm, if I were you I'd be more concerned about being clear than calmness.
I was having about 3 cups of coffee a day on average, but over the course of about 2-3 months I added more and more decaf to my grinder and now I’m only using decaf coffee and green tea.
It took me two years to quit coffee. Tea has caffeine to so started using it but went without it and got a headache so bad i layed in bed all day. Still can't get anything done without it.
Beautiful...
As someone who has never drank caffeine before but does want to experience flow state benefits, what would you reccomend?
What time do you eat breakfast? After the 90 min - 3 hours of work? Are you allowed to eat something uber quick beforehand or during the flow state while working like a shake or a sandwhich? Thanks!!!
Hey Rian, one thing you didn't mention in your video is something that completely changes the way caffeine impacts my body. Can you please talk about whether Caffeine should be taken before or after food, and how much time before or after food. Because personally, caffeine after a heavy meal does absolutely NOTHING for me. I just constantly end up in that post lunch slump even I drink a cup of black coffee after lunch!
Same brah
I would also add fermented drinks to the list of human advancements in civilization
Hey I’m having difficulty finding a drink with a two to one ratio. Do you have any recommendations or a brand you and your colleagues own?
Takeaways:
1) Coffee 2 times a day, one in the morning not earlier than 30 mins after waking up, and another cup not later than 10hrs before going to sleep (so usually after lunch).
2) Take 1 day totally caffeine free a week to counter caffeine tolerance.
3) Add l-theanine ideally.
All the things ✅
Waaauuuw .didnt know that caffeine was so interesting. Thank you for your story
watching this while drinking coffee
@ 8:30 on when to consume caffeine, last, before going to bed. does this include all sources of caffeine, such as chocolate?
I had stereotypes about coffee, but starting from now I changed my view
I have gotten caffeine free and dont drink black coffee anymore because i noticed that before when i had coffee every leg day and pull day which was great but the time I didn’t take coffee i felt more awful and less performance on that day so i now started without caffeine so i can get stronger on my base level
Have you tried cocaine?

I'm a skeptic. I don't want to get addicted to it and then need it to function properly.
Dont worry, its great.xD
I consistently drink only a single large cup of coffee once per day every morning an hour after waking. I never feel like I need more, but if I take a day off, I get a headache that won't quit. How can I avoid this? Do I even need to take days off if my reaction to caffeine seems stable?
I just found this channel tonight (already subscribed). I have a question, in this video you mention waiting 30 minutes after waking up to drink coffee. In a previous video about the morning routine you recommend waking up and diving right into work (within 90 seconds) for about 90 to 180 minutes. How would that work combined with the coffee intake? Preparing a good cup of coffee takes more than 90 seconds but if we do it 30 minutes after waking up we would break the flow state of the first 90 to 180 minutes. What would be the recommendation to mix both the flow state in the morning routine and the coffee intake?
Also wondering this.
Make it first thing in the morning and then put it in a thermos flask
You can just consume caffeine pills. That barely takes 30 seconds.
I would also like an answer to this, are you supposed to take the caffeine in the middle of the first flow session? Or right before your second flow session of the day?
Lots of ways to get caffeine. Time-release pills are my new favorite. Yerba Mate is instant, instant freeze dried coffee is great, etc. He suggested *more* than 30m to get your early energy from your cortisol.
there are 5 types. The ones that rarely drink coffee, like ones in 2 weeks and still don't feel any type of energy or focus and can even go to sleep after a cup of coffee.
Not going to lie, I though this video was going to be one of those pseudoscience clickbait videos with catchy titles, thumbnails, but zero actual content. I'm so glad I was wrong, this video definitely has a lot of though and research put into it, and it shows.
Please someone tell me about the music is playing in the background
Weirdly I dont feel addicted to it anymore, just liking the taste, and somerimes i drink only when I feel fatigue once in a blue moon. 😅
I got a question. What if people want to add sugar or milk to the coffee? Does that affects the performance?
I take a capsule of (200mg caffeine + 100mg L theanine) 1.5 hours after waking up and after sometime, 150mg caffeine in powdered form in 800 mL water. I am a tall, muscular individual of 84kg weight and feels like I need to undergo a caffeine washout.. Coz I need to do that.. since I don't feel 350mg caffeine in my system lol.. yeah the Caffeine and L theanine combo is great though!
I’m ADHD so caffeine is my lifeblood.
Hello sir! I have a small doubt to be cleared here...I learnt from your videos that the brain waves when in state of flow is similar to when we're asleep whereas caffeine gets us completely awake.... doesn't it affect the state of flow in that case?
Currently addicted to caffeine and i have found that i crave more and more caffeine to a point in which i actually struggle more. This may be a bottle with anxiety but currently where i am at after 3 cups.
Hi, is it possible to get sources that you used for this video?
Never liked coffee, grew hyper aware of sugar lately. Never felt better.
A sip of coke at a friend's house already gave me the "roller coaster sleep".
I feel like the wild dreams there were worth more than the cheap initial caffeine rush.
Np getting up and being fully aware in 15-30 seconds and staying sharp for 30h on end if needed.
For all the great videos, i feel like Ryan is trying to excuse his personal love for coffee here.
Coffee makes workaholics and forces actionism.
And we can aggree on stepping back, going slow and do the few things a day that truly matter propells everything unreasonably faster.
Can't understand why he is advertising a full day of high octane output state here unless it's aimed at wage jobs, who have to stay "productive" for fixed hours a day and his other videos about efficiency are for other people?
Happy about a response here.
How does coke and sugar are linked to coffee lol
What if coffee doesn't do anything anymore? Should I stop the intake completely..?
In case the highly dedicated research of my fave Dr. Andrew Huberman wasn't already convincing me to reform my shameful caffeine misuse...now comes another incredibly intelligent, handsome fellow (with an outstanding accent to boot) to ensure I turn over my new caffeine leaf...thank you Rian!
Omg, so openly irrational
thank you, after watched all videos I can't undrestand the "Release phase" well. just wait 5-10 minute? it's release phase? but how we know that struggle phase has ended and release phase must be started?
Maybe good to mention to always choose organic... as coffee is one of the most grown crops with pesticides...
