in reply to My preferred source of caffeine is...

One of the coffee shops by where I work has staff that I have finally gotten "trained". They don't look at me funny when I ask them for "The Sniper Special."

They have an item on their menu called "A Shot In The Dark." This consists of a large regular drip coffee into which a shot of esspresso is poured.

I have further refined this to a large drip coffee of the day with 2 shots of esspresso in it. This has become known as the Sniper Special aka "Big Double Shot in the Dark."

Good for what ails ya...

    ...sounds like the days when I used to walk in and order "A Grande Espresso." No, it's just however many espresso shots would fit in a grande cup (which in our case, was 10 to 12) That would get me going in the morning. Alas, I miss having a stomach lining. Nowadays, I stick to copious hydration and my one-a-day which has about 1000% each of B vitamins 1, 2, 3, 6, and 12, for making your cells oh so happy. Seriously, taking a one-a-day vitamin everyday for a couple of weeks (and keeping up with it) nets a very noticable change, as does keeping up on hydration. Unfortunately, caffeine is a diuretic...
