Our office has been reading your BBotE site front and back. It sounds so interesting. I'm going to sleep on the decision to purchase some over the weekend. Awesome idea!
I may have to see if my wife will object to purchase of some BBotE.
I started out in Tacoma when I left home, so I got that whole "Coffee culture" thing, before joining the Navy, where much like my Air Force father, I learned to drink straight black-tar that reaches out of a glass and punches you awake.
As someone who is also over six feet tall, necessitating a stronger coffee than normal, BBotE quite frankly sounds fun.
Though I'm curious, what is the approximate level of caffeine in there? An average cup has between 80-100 milligrams of caffeine, so if BBotE really is "40x" stronger, we're looking at roughly 3200 milligrams of get up and go in a single serving. This appeals to me as when I'm on cruise and the time crunch is rough, I'll straight up add caffeine tabs to my cup of coffee.
I guess the final question is would you be willing to ship to an APO/FP address in Japan?
Willing to, but you are placing your trust in the APO system. From my own experience, not all APOs are equal. The ones in Turkey & Italy, for example, can be quite problematic.
My wife and I got our first batch earlier today and we tried the iced latte version. Kona. Very tasty! Much better than regular coffee and as far as being "wired" goes this is better than said regular coffee and any energy drink on the market. Two thumbs up.
got a bottle of Death Wish last night… its a little gnarly for me to drink without sugar,….but I had 1 shot with 3 shots of steamed milk and 2 small spoons of sugar…. Tasted like happiness and caramel!
Hey, I've been sipping some BBotE over ice with equal parts whiskey lately. I am thoroughly enjoying it. I prefer Benchmark, but I suppose any decent cheap whiskey will do.
Well, I woke up a little groggy this morning, was about to hit the Kuerig up for my first cup of coffee when the small part of my brain that was functioning remembered that my BBotE sample pack(s) I & II arrived yesterday.
I reached into the fridge, grabbed one at random (Kenyan), and put a little water on to boil.
I’m not groggy any more, thank you Herr Direktor, I just hope the traffic is moving well on the way to work or this could get a bit dicey.
Well, three parts absinthe to one part BBotE. You're welcome to make that portion size as small or as large as you like. Admittedly, when I do it, my parts are shotglasses-worth.

Glad you're enjoying the tales of adventure. The website will still be here when you wake up on Monday

When you say "absinthe," do you mean the louched drink – water, absinthe, sugar – or the straight spirit?
When I do an absinthe mix with BBotE, I tend to serve the absinthe over ice, wait for it to louche, and then add the BBotE.
And if your absinthe is good enough, you won't need to add sugar to it. As a diabetic, I'd be unlikely to anyway.

I like using Tullamore Dew for that, myself. Usually, 3:2:1 hot water to BBotE to whiskey for my version of an Irish coffee.
