Caffeine is a life savior for many. It keeps you going on tiring, long, boring days without passing out. We didn’t realise coffee could get better until we found liquor-infused coffee. There are quite a few artisanal varieties like Black Powder Roasting, but our ultimate favourite has to be JD Coffee from the iconic Jack Daniel’s house. Time to brew your own coffee at work.
