Three words: Caffeinated Kool Aid. Make the kool aid as directed, but halve the amount of water used. 100mg’s the only dose I’ve tried, and in a cup made this way, there’s a barely noticeable aftertaste, but nothing else. Of course, I’d reccommend putting a label on whatever pitcher you use for it.

Also, as for the mg measuring problem, I found a powdered caffeine that comes with a 100mg scoop: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002FWKXTY/ref=ox_ya_oh_product . It’s a bit more expensive than the other caffeine powders, but I feel it’s worth it, to avoid overdosing without paying 90+ for a scale.

Total costs will look something like this.

Caffeine: 500 servings at $24.24, including shipping.
Kool Aid: We’ll overestimate this at .50c for a single packet, normally used for 8 cups.
Sugar: $4.00 for 5lbs around here. Try Wal-Mart?

This comes in pretty cheap. For 8oz cups with 100mg of caffeine, it’s under 5 cents for the caffeine, 12.5 cents for the kool aid, and around 40 cents for the sugar, coming in at just under 70 cents.

I adjusted the key words, but try some of the other links on the landing page even one that uses counter weights would work if digital is too expensive.

None of the scales in your link measure in mg, which would be essential if working with anhydrous caffeine powder.

Do you have any links to a scale that accurate that is not ridiculously expensive?
