I've become fond of the sludge, is that weird? I do use a coarse grind, but it always has that little bit of grit to it anyway.
Wow, what a great summary! I really didn't know caffeine was used like this. I can see the diuretic effect being a problem as you don't want to get dehydrated... or have to stop a lot! ;)
Many road cyclists limit their caffeine consumption to a bottle of coke diluted with water during training rides...
Eww, that sounds vile! I can see why you stick with coffee. :D
And to be honest I don't drink coffee for the boost, I drink it because it's delicious! But I'm no competitive cyclist. Diluted coke does sound vile. But do you want to know what's really gross? If you're a serious cyclist on a long race, the diuretic effect of caffeine might not be enough to warrant a stop. I won't go into detail on that, but I gather the trick to it is in twisting your hips away from your bike slightly...
Seriously though, you keep my secret about the French press sludge, and I promise never to mention this terrible cyclist secret to anyone ever! shudders

Yes. Yes it is. But I won't hold it against you.

But, um, yeah, cold brewed coffee is great.
lalalala, I can't hear you...
