We’ve all needed to get out the door without time for the morning cup of coffee, leading to a terrible start to the day. Who can fix the problem?

It was during an endless drive home from a camping trip in eastern Washington that entrepreneur Adam Stites came up with his latest product. "What would happen if I infused heavy cream with cannabis, then mixed it with my coffee?" he mused. ("My VW van doesn't go very fast, so I have a lot of time to think," Stites explains.) He road-tested the idea as soon as he got home. So strong was the first dose, Stites woke up 13 hours after chugging a single cup.

A coffee revolution has been in full swing right across Ireland for a few years now. Not only are Irish coffee connoisseurs keenly aware of where they can get their favourite coffee, they’re also curious how it’s brewed and who's brewing it.

It’s hard to believe a 30-year-old bartender who lives alone and is addicted to Netflix and Playstation smokes pot but hey, it’s the life that chose me. So, when my editor asked if I’d like to “test” a batch of Pot-O-Coffee (we see what you did there), I decided to replace my regular intake of K-Cups with their weed-infused version. I figured it would be just like snacking on a brownie with my daily cup of Joe, but in liquid form. It was not. What happened turned out...

Lately, something has changed. Lately, I've been reacting to fancy coffee the same way a child reacts to an accidental sip of red wine mistaken for grape juice. I don't know when it happened, but I've devolved into an unexpected love affair with bad coffee. It's not just instant coffee that I hanker for each morning, either, it's any subpar coffee I can get my hands on... By Keith Pandolfi.

Coffee is my go-to choice for a cognitive boost. I enjoy a morning cup of joe (almost every alternate day), but like a lot of people I’m not a fan of coffee’s bitter flavor. So to mask it, apart from adding lots of milk, I guiltily dump in a sugar cube (or maybe two). I’m not alone. Even connoisseurs of coffee, such as the Specialty Coffee Association of America, treat bitterness as a defect, describing it as “caustic,” “phenolic,” “creosol,” and “alkaline.” So, recently when my...
