Yes, possibly they worry about caffeine interacting with medications. I just had no idea a few cups of coffee could have that much of an adverse affect on someone's meds.
However, zombies be easier to manage.

Depending upon the MD and severity of the conflict, some allow and some don't. I've had two open heart surgeries, I'm still on the planet and both cardiologists have allowed me a double in the AM, however prepared and another if I visit someone used to talking over coffee. Not every day though!
YMMV

I also, enjoy all of ritual and tastes! Just not as often! It does help me awaken and sit back and plot my day in the AM! I am lucky to be able to really good fresh ground coffees and cool machines.

PS Coffee can often be a factor in heart arrhythmia, Tachycardia, over time.
Right, Geezer, my mom's on a pacemaker for arrhythmia and cannot drink much caffeine. Blood thinner too which takes her nutrition / diet neurosis to near ridiculous levels.

Here are some pics from the Vienna Coffee Festival. My Gasthaus is adding some new coffee equipment which got us invited for the business only time. Didn't see any of the barista challenges but didn't have much of a crowd to fight. Will try and add explanations as we go but I did order a new espresso machine bring on the Slayer.
A general overview of the environment.

A sweet graphic showing flavor and taste profiles in conjunction with brew methods.

My resident coffee guru who shows me what's cool at the show and who to do business with. Here he is showing a ridiculous Ethiopian that is pulled from a Lelit Bianca.

Perhaps the coolest thing to see. After two or so years on the market the La Marzocco Leva machine in full action. to say holy crap its cool is an understatement.

Do you need someone to help you out? :roflmao
I've read a lot about the slayer shots, I'd like to try one. I know it can be done, very carefully, with some different machines.
Also that lever machine is :tu :bow :o
:needcoffee:
In about a month come over and I'll pull any slayer you want. The lever is going to require some different things:
A) convince the wife
B) convince the company to make a single pull machine
C) convince my wife we need a 10thish espresso machine
D) convince the company and I'll deal with my wife
You have quite the challenge before you Brother, it seems B) will be the easiest of these choices :roflmao
I have seen some amazing decaf options. I know the stigmas but trust when I say some are making good options for our brothers who can not have the caffeine. My current favorite recommendation for the deficient is Caffee Piansa Decaffeinato. I will have other options soon, but for filter and most espresso solutions, this is my best recommendation.
