Must stop drinking coffee...

[minendo]

Venti Caffe' Mocha from Starbucks is so good. Well at least one large coffee in the morning got me to stop smoking. Perhaps I could market it as TMP - The minendo Plan to quit smoking.

Don't quit cold Turkey. Switch over to a Grandé coffee for a few days. Then, have them take the coffee and give you 1/2 regular and 1/2 decaf for a few more days. If you don't follow this process, you'll get some wicked headaches for a few days - and it will not be fun. I've "been there, done that"

Thanks for the advice, but I only drink the coffee a few times each week. Maybe 2-3 mornings per week. I'll start by reducing it to maybe once a week and then none.

Switching from a Mocha to a regular coffee won't help. That's MORE caffeine.

1 shot of espresso = 35-50mg caffeine, so triple venti mocha = 105-150mg caffeine.
8oz coffee = 135mg caffeine, so 16oz grande coffee = 300mg caffeine.

See?

Why the hell would anyone want to stop drinking coffee?

It's the little things in life....

Have fun with that. Please take into consideration the poor guy that has to clean your mess up.

seriously.

why? a certain amount of caffiene a day is actually good for you.

if it's the money, brew you're own.

if it's the taste, find a new concoction.

if it's the barista, make them give you a service recovery coupon.

it's like las cosa nostra. you can't just quit....
