I also enjoy the flavor of coffee quite a bit, and living in Seattle, I've tried many different kinds over the years.
Unfortunately, coffee doesn't always love me back. Like many people, I've experienced jitters and energy dips with coffee—especially when I'm having two to three cups a day. Caffeine can make me feel jumpy and trigger anxiety. Overall, I just feel a lot of ups and downs when I'm drinking it.
But during a recent trip to Italy, I noticed something strange: I could have several espressos a day without feeling anxious. The coffee there made me feel even-keeled and ready, with no afternoon low.
