But we don't make coffee every day because back in the days when we made a full pot every morning, either I'd be in the jitters all day or half of it would be poured down the drain. So it's only made on an as-needed basis, and need is evaluated <em>in medias res</em>. But you're right, the making of the coffee does, in fact, help to wake me up.

I'm able to set it all up the night before, while I'm actually awake and functional, so when I wake up I can just stumble over and get some lovely ready coffee. :) I’m gathering that the act of brewing the coffee is itself an activity that helps to wake you up, thus rendering this tip moot – but I find having a coffee maker with a timer tremendously helpful.
