This is the phantom buzz: the brain hears silence, notices an empty space where stimulation usually lives, and fills it with a very convincing little bzzzt. It is less “advanced telecommunications” and more “a raccoon operating the control panel.”
Before coffee, the raccoon has administrative access.
It detects messages that do not exist. It promotes a coat seam to breaking news. It interprets one twitching leg muscle as an urgent communication from the Department of Something Probably Important.
After coffee, reality gets its password reset. Your pocket becomes a pocket again. The yacht invitation remains regrettably absent, but at least you stop holding a full investigation every time your trousers whisper.
Coffee note
The Specialty Coffee Association recently unpacked what “fresh” means after roasting. Carbon dioxide carrying aroma escapes quickly at first, with major changes during roughly the first 20 days. As that protective gas leaves, oxygen moves in and flavour begins to fade. Their practical guide: whole beans are reasonably fresh for about three weeks after roasting, while ground coffee changes much faster.
So your coffee has a freshness window. Your imaginary notifications, apparently, are available forever.
