how to make coffee

sooo.... University midterms are right around the corner for me and it's litetterally time for me to cram, cram, cram
the thing is, is that my cell bio and linear algebra midterm is in 2 todays, I know everything for cell bio but NOTHING for linear algebra.
i need a stimulant that can help me pull an all nighter... I heard coffee works but I have no clue what to do with it after I order a cup.
what do you add to coffee to make it taste good, and in what amounts ? D;

Believe it or not, cucumbers are another way to stay awake too. It's loaded like hell with Vitamin B and does not make you sugar crash the way coffee does. If you have one, try it over coffee.

FYI, if you read the nutrition facts for energy drinks, you'll see it's all taurine. Guess what taurine is. A derivative of vitamin B.

Straight black coffee is okay.
It kept me awake for hours.

[quote=MrPebbles]When you dont eat sugar your body goes into ketosis...When this happens your body changes functions to stay healthy, it starts breaking down fat for energy instead of sugar. This is only good if you are looking to lose weight in a short amount of time.[/quote]

Well fruit has sugars and it's a healthier alternative since its natural sugar. Most processed foods have high fructose corn syrup or sugar substitutes.

Well you don't need sugar to live and it's not good for your body like caffeine. My biology teacher told me this freshman year..(honors biology).

Black coffee is by far the best. Sugar, cream and milk does absolutely nothing for me.

It's also the healthiest. Sugar isn't good for you and humans aren't really suppose to have sugar (not necessary for survival),

Personally, I prefer tea; coffee is too thick for my tastes

Just get a good brand you like, and drink it black, or with one sugar.

[quote=ToxicEffect]For science courses in uni, I have to say cramming is a terrible strategy unless you have a photographic memory. Ideally you should be budgeting your time and studying every week to minimize cramming but whatever floats your boat I guess.

I normally don't drink coffee since it actually impairs my ability to study. It keeps me awake but I have a harder time thinking and remembering stuff if I drink it.[/quote]
Linear algebra shouldn't be too bad to cram for. Mine was just remembering algorithms to do things pretty much. I also took applied linear algebra though.

Just put in sugar and milk.
That alone will keep you up

I seriously need to get my hands on some, oh my goodness. Hello midterms; goodbye sleep.

Purchase flavored liquid creamer. (Flavors can range from sweet cream to pumpkin pie.) Make sure to add real sugar, and keep on adding until you think it's sweet enough.

This is what I do when I'm craving something sweet. :B

Edit: OH, I thought you were making it. If you go to a place like Starbucks, purchase a latte or cappucinno. Those are normally sweeter warm beverages. (Make sure to specify which flavor!) You shouldn't need to add creamer or sugar if you buy one of those, but I'm so used to coffee I honestly could not tell you if it's bitter to the normal tongue or not.

Forget all that cream and sugar, just go with black coffee. If you can't stand the taste, then I suggest you find caffeine pills at your local drug store.

Chop off some butter from a stick and let it melt in your coffee. Either that, or coconut oil. I also find it interesting to brew a bag of earl grey in my hot coffee.

But if you want all nighters, I'd recommend ritalin.
