Just ordered a Baratza Encore, Fellow Stagg EKG, and a V60. Howd I do as my first jump into coffee?

Also cya Kcups.

I was a big time coffee drinker, loved my pippin' hot, mornin' cuppa joe.
However, about two years ago I developed what was diagnosed as IBS. I guessed coffee might be one thing that was messing me up so I decided to stop drinking it. I went two years caffeine free.

The results? None. Stopping drinking coffee (hell, going caffeine free) does not do anything, you don't feel better, you don't have "more energy" as some people claim. I felt the same with coffee on my system than without it.

Recently I've started drinking coffee again, just because I missed it. I still love the taste and the morning ritual.
Quitting or not, my digestive issues haven't worsened or improved, It's just something I have to live with.

I've concluded that coffee drinking is a matter of enjoyment, not health.

Just posting this to share my story. It might help other Anons.
