Drinking coffee instead of taking a caffeine supplement?

Original post in this thread

smotiquette · 26 points

Hi everybody. I have spent way too much time putting off getting into nootropics and I'm ready to start. I know that the recommended supplements for beginners to start with are caffeine and L-Theanine. I'm looking into getting a coffee making kit very soon to drink in the mornings before school. What are the general opinions and views towards drinking coffee as a source of caffeine rather than using a pill supplement? How would I go about adding L-Theanine to this morning cup of coffee?

Would it be recommended to drink my cup of coffee and have my L-Theanine supplement before or after or during my cup? Does anybody here drink coffee as a source of caffeine rather than use a supplement? Please share your experiences. Looking to buy my coffee kit very soon so I'm also pretty ready to purchase my L-Theanine. Just want to have an idea on how to go about with it all, and also interested in hearing your experiences and findings.

Also, I'll be happy to hear any more recommendations. Please feel free to share all you have to say. I want to learn as much as I can about these things as soon as possible! Thank you!

Has anyone tried Excelerol? I'm interested in trying it because it is apparently one of the best nootropics out there, but I'm a bit suspicious because I've never heard anyone talk about it on this subreddit.

Yep, my fault guys. I'll just stop posting, and things will get better. It's all on me... You can all go back to caffeine/L-theanine, long winded modafinil, and "does piracetam work" posts. No need to advance the communi

A Note Regarding Ceretropic's Caffeine/NALT

TLR were not telling people the ingredients. I never expected them to explain their production processes. I expected them to tell people the compounds they were consuming, rather than giving them proprietary names. I did

What is the best nootropic for someone looking primarily for a boost of energy and motivation that's stronger than caffeine but less extreme than amphetamines?

Replying to [deleted] · In case anybody wants to accomplish this with drugs, I've been using 60mg vyvanse + 1g psilocybin mushrooms for a while. Take both with a hardy meal and 2 glasses of water.

Are you joking or serious? You take amphetamines and a low dose of psilocybin as nootropics?

Less may be More

Replying to Reeses007 · Totally agree with this. I would recommend people trying ingredients by themselves in order to build a stack that they react well to. I've never understood the mentality to use abs…

This is a big problem I am seeing with people new to nootropics. They want to immediately jump into a stack, and do not want to put in the time to try thing by themselves, and see how each one affects them in isolation.
