My 1st thought was to say: 'All this and much more!' -- but actually I am not sure if it is sedative and it doesnt work as afrodisiac (for me peculiar). My guess: coffee works as stimulator -- and being over-stimulated, being extra-stimulated, the nervous system makes a move in the opposite direction - i.e. sedation, drowsiness, etc. so .... you should not drink coffee instead of a sleeping pill :) although, of course, such an effect can also be obtained...
I think coffee is a stimulant, and therefore (of course) a general upper! it rewards us, and causes a conditioned reflex/addiction, so that the smell of ground coffee itself (of course, I'm talking about freshly ground coffee!) -- can raise the mood, and promises an imminent stimulating effect... one (mentally) is already starting to get everything that they know coffee promises them.
My humble thoughts are accompanied by a photo of the jezzwa that provides freshly brewed coffee to me and my wife. (Clickable!)
The smell of fresh brewing (good!) coffee though, huh?
Up there near the top of the list of best smells ever!
A Jezzwa? Now I've learned something new as well... how beautiful yours is. I'd love to hear the story of how you found that
Ha! yes. there is a story. I've collected 4 different jezzwa up to date, this was my last one, the biggest of them. I promise I will make a separate post and show all of them. One day. I promise!!!
😊😉😜
have a Hive !PIZZA, my friend
Never seen them before. Gorgeous in full and I'd make more coffee just to use 'em. :)
Share your Jezzwas!
ha! ha! hahaha! I am in the same boat with you, TOTALLY !!! 😜😜😜
I haven't tried making coffee from a jezzwa. How's the taste compared to a regular glass pot? The overstimulation of coffee that leads to drowsiness I agree could be the reason for it being a sedative but it's a stimulant for me too. Love the photo by the way.
Hi there! frankly speaking, I cant compare at all the taste for this pair, copper jezzwa/glass or ceramic pot. Yes, sometimes (due to emergency) I brew coffee directly in a ceramic cup, and I get some good results... that suits my body as "a required coffee dose" :)))) but the whole point is that making coffee in a jezzwa is (A) a ritual - with all the pleasurable consequences that entails.... feeding the mind, if you'll let me put it figuratively; and (B) it's a completely analog process that I repeat every time in the same way, but the regulators are the eye, the hand, the spoon, the water... everything turns out differently, plus / minus. And of course, the sort of coffee used adjusts taste solidly.
I don’t know... on the one hand, if you interact perfectly with coffee in a glass cup, then you don’t need to change anything :P on the other hand, brewing coffee with your own hands in a jezzwa is a great pleasure, which I certainly advise adding to own life!
...and a slice of Hive !PIZZA. thanks for the compliment to my photo, as always! much appreciated. 🙏
The brewing ritual behind it sounds tempting to try so hopefully I get a chance to experience that and would be on the lookout to try it. Thank you for answering my questions and for the Pizza :) Have a lovely weekend!
😎 wish you well, really!
Wonderfully said! I really love your photo, very welcoming with the cinnamon sticks :)
Those are cinnamon sticks? Oh Lawd! I am so illiterate🤣
Thought they were some form of decorations
They kind of are decorations too! In the US older people like to put them in bowls with dried flowers as centerpieces etc 😁
Wow. Omoh
Coffee really is a stimulant because it stimulates our mood in many different occasions. But whether it will affect our sleep or sexual behavior it’s due to every person and his organism reaction. So here the best answer is really that coffee is a general upper in first place!
'allmighty powerful remedy elixir', isnt it? ))))))
May be, may be! 😉
Best wishes!
I love the photo. And seeing this, I realize that I am way behind on the ways of coffee (in terms of the making). Coffee is a sedative to me (sometimes - 'most times'), I don't even have to try. 😂
😛😜😴
have a Hive !PIZZA for your breakfast! matches perfectly with coffee
Thank you
Coffee does stimulate. It’s so many things to so many people. The wonder drug. Hehe! 🤗🤗❤️🤗 ☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️
I totally agree with you, coffee can be a sedative and the best thing is that it makes us feel good while we relax.

That photo alone gets me so excited!
Brilliant questioning and rationalising of what coffee really is. I definitely have to agree with all that you've presented here👏
