More specifically I've been thinking about my consumption in regards to coffee and espresso. On average, I probably have 3-5 espresso/coffee based beverages a day. After reading a post about this very topic by James Hoffman (the 2007 WBC Champion) over at jimseven.com I thought i'd give it a try. Track my own coffee consumption. I'm a nerd when it comes to data, and furthermore being able to track it. So I got super excited when I found this service (via jimseven) that does just that. Tracks data. Anything. They also have a sweet iphone app which should make tracking everything very simple.
More than just quantity I want to discover WHAT coffees i'm consuming, in which drinks, and why? I think there's a lot to say about people by their "favorite somethings" Favorite cocktail, favorite coffee, etc. So more than anything I want to see what my coffee says about me, what coffees I sample, roast, cup, enjoy. I want to see if there's any type of trend, and why. Hopefully this little study will help me understand just that.
And if nothing else. I'll get to look at cool graphs.
