With the increasingly strong formulations he would have loved espresso then! Think that wasn’t invented until early 1900s. That said immersion brewing probably gives your more caffeine in total.
Edit might have been earlier I was
thinking of a specific espresso machine.
It isn't the strongest brew, but the e61 group head is just so great for making espresso. More recent designs and modified e61s have advantages, but the ways it can be used, the availability of parts and the quality of the brew are pretty great.
No software or complex electronics for my coffee thanks (just lots of mechanical complexity).
The way the the Faema e61 looks doesn't hurt either, only rivalled by the lever action Urania in my opinion.
PSA: lions mane supplements seem to have an antidote effect on the negative aspects of excess caffeine consumption (jitters, irritability, shortness of temper, general agro-ness). Also seems to largely eliminate the headaches experienced in withdrawal.
I never used to consume caffeine, now it's possibly my favorite mind-altering drug when combined with this otherwise seemingly pointless supplement.
Those are all vitamin / mineral / electrolyte related symptoms (fairly serious long-term), and probably shouldn't be shrugged off or "flex-sealed" with drugs.
Norepinephrine / cortisol, bone homeostasis / resorption.
As well as smaller issues that, over time, cause anemia, and wreck your small intestine, liver, kidneys, pancreas, (ability to digest fats, absorb b-vitamins and fat-soluble vitamins).

Oh please, when they're nonexistent except when you've downed six+ shots of espresso it's pretty clearly acute side effects of abusing the drug.
L-theanine also reduces some of the negative effects of caffeine noticeably and improves focus specifically. It's naturally found in tea so one way to drink it with caffeine is simply to switch from coffee to tea.
The default Chrome typography is not kind to the eye in that article, lacking the descender of the integral sign form of the sigil. It looks far too like "f" which is amusingly noted as a typographical issue with the letter and probably why it fell out of use with the rise of movable type printing, and it's persistence in hand written text.
