The duration between the first sip of coffee and the body's reaction to caffeine. Generally, the speaker forces actions/words to come out faster than neural transmission without the aid of a catalyst (i.e., caffeine).
Though applicable throughout the workday, coffee lag is especially perilous during the early hours, such as the morning commute, team meetings, and pseudo-serious conversations about life.
Symptoms include rambling speech, awkward gestures, and grand delusions of vacation (often resembles daydreaming). Note: coffee lag in an attractive person can be misdiagnosed as a hot mess.

The act of pulling out the coffee pot in mid-brew and letting it drip into your cup. This is a common office foul that either dilutes the entire batch of coffee for the rest of the office or caused it to be much more robust.

The now standard practice of hiring acceptably hot babes to serve your coffee at those quickie espresso drive-thrus like Dutch Bros. They're bubbly and hot enough for a little happy flirting while you wait (good up-sell and tip inspiration) but not so hot that you're distracted from ordering. Also known as coffee candy or drive thru hotties.
Mark: Dude, I love the coffee babes at Pony Espresso!
Tony: I know! There's one exceptionally hot hottie at the Dutch Bros on W 11th who started attracting a crowd. She'll prolly get fired, yuh.
Mark (sad): Yeah.
