Can I use coffee beans instead of caffeine pills? Pills work great for me when I am a sleepyhead in the morning. I just wonder if I could use natural coffee beans instead of chemical caffeine pills?

What about just having a couple of straight shots of espresso?

\r\n\r\nYes, a couple of shots usually help me to stay awake

How many beans would he have to swallow for the caffeine equivalent of one cup of coffee? :lol:

Thats a good question- one wonders how many miligrams of caffine per a bean.

Well, it would be a lot easier (and tastier, in my opinion) to just buy a few shots of espresso, and drink that instead of eat coffee beans. But if you're intent on eating coffee beans, they do work...and I'm speaking from experience. You can buy chocolate covered coffee beans to give it a little more taste and caffeine (from the chocolate). I don't know how many beans would be equivalent to one caffeine pill, but 5-8 beans get me up and energized.
