He starts off:
"I like coffee so much that I have tea for breakfast: The first cup of the day in particular is so good that I’m afraid I won’t be able to properly appreciate it when I am half-asleep. Therefore, I celebrate it two hours later when I am fully conscious."
(So cute! It worries me a little that I actually understand this sentiment.)
My favorite is napkin #8, which is a graph showing his coffee and bagel biases over the years. (1) drip coffee; (2) Starbucks; (3) blueberry bagels; (4) sesame bagels; (5) poppy seed bagels; (6) everything bagels.
(I would love to document my life this way and see what trends pop up! I think it would be very revealing.)
Also, on a more educational note, here is a very nice explanatory schematic of various espresso drinks:
The nerd in me loves this and wonders if the ratios shown here are accurate and if they scale to volume.Recently, I've cut down my coffee consumption to 1 cup per day (down from my previous 3-4 cups). If I'm craving a hot drink in the afternoon, I'll have some roasted rice green tea. Of course, that just makes me appreciate my morning cup o joe that much more. ;)

Hey! That coffee graphic is super helpful para mi! =) You can mix up your roasted rice green tea with barley (=wheat germ, I found that out today), too and keep the milk!
The graph is lovely. :)
The graphic is pretty accurate in terms of volume too! =) Along with the flat white there is the long black which is a double shot of espresso over hot water. I've only seen flat whites and long blacks in Australia!
