Coffee Spots
Here are some of my regular coffee spots in Reno, NV.
Coffeebar
Coffeebar has a few locations in Reno. Each spit has their own unique qualities. The closest location to me has a ton of space to work and relax. The baristas are friendly and the coffee is quite good. My favorite part is the warm welcome when I pick up my to go cups.
Midnight Coffee Roasters
They are open very late. They make their own syrups. And they brew a strong, tasty cup of coffee. Our go to spot on a friday night after dinner.
Hub Coffee Roasters
Hub has one of the more beautiful spots by the river downtown. They make a very strong cup. The central location is ideal for my friends to meetup and co-work during the day.
Bibo Coffee
I learned all about Monsoon Medley Single Origin Coffee from Bibo.
The coffee’s bean size, color, roast, and cup characteristics are the result of “monsooning,” a post-harvest process unique to India, where it is exposed to monsoon winds in an open-walled warehouse for 12 to 16 weeks.
It's all we drink in my home now. Bibo themselves are awesome. Always friendly, good conversation, and great coffee.
Caffeine
Brewed coffee has roughly around 96 mg of caffeine per 8oz cup. The actual amount of caffeine can vary widely based on brewing time.
The coffee cups in my house are more like 12oz. The calculator below assumes a 12oz cup, and around 12mg of caffeine for each ounce of coffee. That changes to 8mg for weakly brewed, and 15mg for strongly brewed.
The half-life of caffeine is around 3-7 hours for most adults. This means that after 3 to 7 hours, about half of the caffeine in your system is metabolized and eliminated.
The general guideline for safe caffeine consumption is up to 400/mg/day for most healthy adults. That is roughly 4 (8 oz) cups of brewed coffee.
If you consume 200 mg of caffeine, after 3-4 hours, you may have ~100 mg remaining in your system, making another cup more reasonable. Listen to your body—avoid caffeine if you feel jittery or anxious.
Should you have another cup of coffee?
Yes, obviously. Let's calculate it anyway!
