ya i guess so when you put it like that, lol so really even if I'm upping my number pills by 10 each time ts not a lot of caffeine not when I'm a 3 cup a day girl min, but would you say i got the jest of what i am doing? i played around a bit last night(your Kleenex version, felt like a lot more room for error or contamination, idk, but also i noticed i only went up by 4 pills but seemed to have a hard time g it threw the coffee filter it was going to dry up before a drop fell, and since when you first spoke to me of this you said not to use more then 25 ml water i hesitated to increase the water, can you explain the reasoning for this? and would that not filtering have anything to do with switching brands?
