What else can I add in my coffee to give me a boost? I am always extremely sluggish and tired due to certain medical conditions and I was wondering if there were any good boosts to add to my coffee.

A shot or two of espresso. Or take a strong Vitamin B tab.

I have absolutely no idea if it has any grounding in science, but back when I drank coffee I felt like switching to drinking it black woke me up more than when I put sugar and cream in it.
These days I’m one of those insane people who wake up and go without caffeine. I usually have tea without caffeine in it(or a very miniscule amount that makes basically no difference).

Maybe a little chocolate syrup?

Whatever you do, don’t (seriously, don’t) do the bulletproof coffee thing. It’s the typical millenial desire for a quick fix with unreliable results (at best) or dangerous ones - heart disease/cholestrol - at worst.

Get yourself a pour over coffee maker, the best is Chemex but there’s plenty of cheaper alternatives and even ones that are for single cups of coffee. Then get good quality beans, I recommend single origin ones. Even though they are more expensive, it’s absolutely worth it. I can never go back to the taste of cheap coffee and it has way more caffeine in it, too, especially if you brew it with a pour over method.

Freshness makes a big diff in my experience, e.g. freshly ground beans are much more potent than storebought ground stuff.

I didn’t start drinking coffee till a few weeks ago, let alone caffeine. I’m 32 years old. Drank a cup or two in the morning because it helped wake me up inside. (Evenesance song, sorry I couldn’t help).
After that couple weeks coffee does nothing for me. It sucks.
Pourover is my favorite way to make coffee, followed by French press.

yeah it’s super super strong. supposedly the strongest coffee known currently. (I debate that) but worth a shot?
Yeah do this. Ever since I started grinding my own beans it’s definitely made a a big difference. Also depends on the quality of the beans you’re getting too.

I know the Death Wish brand says it has way more caffeine than most coffees. I drink coffee a LOT (probably more than I should, to be honest…) but Death Wish didn’t change much for me. Likely because I drink… WAY too much coffee as is and am probably immune to the caffeine boost lol.
If you haven’t tried it, might be worth a shot though. At the very least, it tastes great.

Your “pour over” method is exactly how a traditional coffee maker works. Put grounds in paper filter, hot water gets poured over grounds, and percolates into the pot below.

That’s the problem with depending on Caffeine. You build up a tolerance to it.

A lot of places have local roasters you can get super-freshly-roasted beans from too, great way to support a local business.

Coffee doesn’t do much for me personally, so… I guess I’m just gonna lurk here for a while.
I have an old school stove top percolator that I love. I can make that coffee as strong or weak as I like.

Grass fed butter and MCT oil. There isn’t enough research to prove it wrong or right, but personally, I feel jacked up with this combo. Put it all in a blender and enjoy … just watch your butt 
Avoid sugar.
