I have my coffee flown in from Hawaii every month. It is from the Koa coffee plantation their special reserve blend. I "mill" it each morning. BTW, serving it in a warm cup is a another fallacy. A good coffee cup is all that is required. No plastic or synthetic materials.
Good coffee and good cars go hand to hand. Here is a coffee you should consider. Peets is not in the same league.

nick, koa coffee wanted me to make sure you knew of possible side effects and health concerns associated with coffee for liability reasons!
i'm a little surprised you take these risks on a regular basis.
it would seem driving a cgt is a walk in the park compared to regular caffeine consumption.
-While caffeine can delay the onset of sleep, it also interferes with rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, the stage when dreams occur.
-Caffeine affects the heart and blood vessels by elevating cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
-You start taking it slowly, but as your body develops a tolerance to it, you need more and more to feel the same effects
-like amphetamines or other dangerous narcotics, it increases your heartbeat, breathing, and metabolic rate
-Caffeine causes increased gastric acid secretion which in turn aggravates peptic ulcers.
-Heavy coffee drinking doubles the risk of bladder cancer
-caffeine decreases reaction time to visual and auditory stimuli and does not alter arithmetic skills or short-term memory.
-it diminishes the performance of manual tasks involving delicate muscular coordination
-150-300 mg. of caffeine per day during their pregnancy had more than twice the risk of delivering underweight babies
-When the drug effects wear off it causes irritability, nervousness, headaches, and depression.
-while it may speed up reaction time and improve automatic processing skills like doing arithmetic problems, it worsens performance of more complicated tasks
-Within five minutes after you drink your morning coffee, the caffeine begins to stimulate your central nervous system, triggering the release of stress hormones in your body, causing a stress ("fight or flight" ) response
-The drug continues to have an effect on the body as long as it remains in the blood. The time required to eliminate half of the caffeine consumed - caffeine's half-life - ranges from several hours to several days
