Coffee Timing - Peak stimula
tion from a cup of coffee hits
after twenty minutes, stays that
way for two and a half hours,
then fades fast. A quick second
cup won’t perk you up twice as
much, because the caffeine in the
first cup partly blocks off the
effect of the second cup until
those two and a half hours are
up.
