Coffee acts as a mood booster
Coffee… this magical drink that can make your day brighter, happier and full of joy…
I think there is not a general agreement on the question if coffee is an aphrodisiac, sedative or just a general upper. In my daily routine I tend to start everyday with coffee, and while I’m preparing it, I’m only focused on the process itself. I like my first coffee to be enjoyed in the silence of the morning, although when the kids are awake it’s not entirely possible.
Aphrodisiac?
I don’t think that coffee can act as an aphrodisiac. Maybe, for some people it has this feature, but in reality it’s maybe only due to personal feelings, not the drink and chemical ingredients themselves.
Sedative?
There are some medical researches around that claim the coffee makes you more sleepy and improves sleep, at first. As soon as I know caffeine needs a bit of time to reach the nerve system of the human body, but this occurs a bit later. Maybe the act of joy when you drink coffee makes you feel good and this eventually results in a peacefulness and sleepiness, but! The coffee you drink has to be tasty, complex and delightful. I think cheaper coffees around the market would not work so…
A general upper?
Hell yeah! This is the answer from my POV. The act of preparing coffee, searching for a better technique and taste and enjoying it after that is the thing that lights up my day. I keep on finding different layers of flavor even with the same coffee variety I’m enjoying every days. After I finish my cup, I already think of the next one and the complex aftertaste remind me of the tasty experience. I can spend 10 or more minutes just to be sure my espresso shot will taste great and this time is not wasted. It’s just a part of the general mood boosting. And of course, the act of taking great photos make me enjoy coffee even more.
