Before working from home, I used to set my alarm to two hours before work. I would shave, shower, brush my teeth, have a quick breakfast, then commute in.

Now I set my alarm for fifteen minutes before work. It's preferable for me if I go to bed early enough that I wake up with enough time for a shower, but if I don't I can take one after work (or during lunch). The only reason I need a whole fifteen minutes in the morning is that it takes a couple of minutes for me to log in my Mac and VPN in.

At work we have nice coffee machines with free coffee. I have coffee at home too but I am less tired in the morning. Not that costing a little prevents me from drinking coffee, it's more that it being free is an enticement to drinking it, as if I am missing one of my perks of the days at the office when I skip coffee. Also, I am getting less physical activity every week now, so I also avoid coffee for the calories, and go for water instead.

same mentality for me.

i'm pretty sure coffee is like almost 0 calories as long as you dont add milk, isnt it?

For practical purposes. If you want to get pedantic it's probably something like 2-5 calories per serving depending on brewing method.

im pretty sure plain drip coffee ends up way below 1. if you ate a bean how many kcal would that be? the amount of energy impregnated in the water is still way below

When I brew with French press, there’s a rainbow oil slick. A web search reveals a lot of blog spam about French press being bad for you, but I couldn’t find any actual cholesterol numbers.

Well, you use a lot more than one bean to make a cup of coffee. Drip would be on the low end, but even so some oil/fat makes it into the cup. 2 calories worth of fat is only about 200mg.
