I drink french press coffee in the morning. I grind five tablespoons of good beans for my 16 once mug. I heat the water to just below boiling and soak the beans for five minutes in the hot water before pressing them and pouring off the coffee. It's powerful stuff, but very flavorful. Based on the buzz, I'd say it has a rather high caffeine level. Rest of the day, I drink coffee from machines at work. I'm now having a cap from a Brio 250 machine. Not as good as the real stuff of course, but quite acceptable.
