Energy Boost: Strong Coffee Brewing

Try a Coffee Nap!

Everyone gets that feeling at around 2 or 3 in the afternoon. Unmotivated and tired. Work is piling up but you just can’t focus and it appears as though this problem can only be fixed by a nap. You have been told over and over that a quick 20-minute nap is the key to boosting low energy levels in the afternoon. Meanwhile, others swear by their midday cup of joe. By nature, a cup of coffee and a nap come across as mutually exclusive. It seems as though you cannot have both. There is a way though, to get the benefits of both a cup of coffee and a nap, therefore doubling your energy level.

It is called a coffee nap!

So, what is a coffee nap anyway?

A coffee nap is when you drink a cup of coffee, and then go a take a 15 to 20-minute nap right after. Common sense tells us that caffeine will keep us awake, but it actually takes around 20 minutes for coffee to go through the GI tract and enter your bloodstream. That is the perfect amount of time to sneak in a quick nap before the caffeine actually kicks in.

How to take the perfect coffee nap:

Taking a coffee nap is as straightforward as it sounds. First, you have to drink a cup of coffee. This coffee needs to be drunk fairly quickly so the caffeine doesn’t enter the bloodstream too early. An iced coffee or a shot of espresso would be best. Then, you should immediately go take a nap. The nap should be no longer than 15 to 20 minutes to make sure you don’t go into too deep of a sleep. If you do, you will end up being more tired when you wake up. Don’t worry if you cannot fall asleep right away. Even if you lay down and enter an almost sleep-like state, it will be just as beneficial. Once you have awoken, the caffeine should be just entering your system, leaving you with energy from both the coffee and the nap.

A Great Coffee For Hard Working People Everywhere

Detroit. Detroit has been known for many things: the auto industry, hard-work, Mo-town, Grit, art, and the Detroit Spirit. We are also known as a town of evolution and community. Looking forward, we will be known for our strong coffee as well. Detroit Bold has lots of grit but is never gritty. It’s smoky Bold flavor, and full body texture encompasses the go-getter spirit of Detroit. This Premium working class gourmet coffee has enough kick to help you supercharge and get your work done. This is why we are known as “Awesome style coffee for hardworking humans everywhere.”

Comeback City Fueled With A Comeback Coffee Company

Like Detroit, our founder: AJ O’Neil is familiar with overcoming adversity. A career roofer by trade, he had his world shaken up after taking a 30-foot fall. Unable to continue roofing, he started a café which was known as “AJ’s Café: the Café that bailed out the auto industry one cup of coffee at a time” In 2013, he decided to solely focus on providing fresh, strong coffee known as Detroit Bold. Detroit also had a major fall of its own. When the auto industry collapsed, so did the city. This led to the crime, violence, and poverty that people outside of Michigan associated with the city. Now, the city is thriving thanks to a booming economy and some big hitting entrepreneurs. Everyone loves a comeback story.

People do not buy products, they buy what the product can do for you. Why do we drink coffee? We drink it to kick-start our day, so we can get the job done. Instead of drinking any ol’ cup of joe, why not treat yourself to a premium working class cup of coffee that doesn’t break the bank? Detroit Bold will help give you that buzz to attack the day.

A Coffee That Gives Back

Wouldn’t you want to support a business that also supports the community? Detroit Bold not only is “America’s Boldest Coffee,” but they give back a portion of all proceeds to the local Detroit community to help fight off the plight that had taken over. We believe that doing good for others will also do good for us.
