What keeps you awake better — tea, coffee, or energy drinks?

Back when I was studying late nights, I used to rely on energy drinks. But eventually they made me crash. Switched to instant coffee, but it was never strong enough. Then I tried freshly ground beans with a bean-to-cup coffee machine and the difference was huge — not just the energy, but the taste kept me going.

I still keep that habit now when I’m working late — one proper cup instead of three bad ones. Honestly, it’s become a little ritual. For anyone curious, this is the one I picked up: gotowiz.com/top-bean-to-cup-coffee-machines-2025/.

What’s your go-to for staying awake and focused?
