A sorcerer with barista experience (even if it ended in disgrace) can cast the cantrip "espresso". Espresso requires 5 minutes, water, a small pot, coffee beans, and a heat source. 1-3 "doses" are created during the brewing process. The verbal part of the spell is a "whoosh" sound mimicking pressurized steam. The spellcaster may be one of the recipients. The recipient drinks the hot bitter beverage to receive its benefit. The recipient is required to at least pretend to agree with the spellcaster about one political opinion or the spell has no effect. "Even though 50 orcs are about to overrun us recycling is the most important thing we can do today."
Espresso requires 1 sorcery point.
Espresso grants +10 to speed for 10 minutes. Concentration is not needed of the spellcaster to maintain the effect.
Drinking more than one espresso within 10 minutes causes the recipient to move faster but also vibrate stupidly with the net effect of only +10.
Any barbarian drinking espresso has a 50% chance of going into a rage for no apparent reason. This uses a "rage" slot if they have one.
If the beverage is not consumed within one minute the "espresso" gets cold and becomes "cold brew". Cold brew allows +20 movement but for only 30 seconds. After that the recipient has a 50% chance of losing a turn because they will suddenly need to take a dump. Cold brew dumps are fast and take only 1 turn.
If "cold brew" is left longer than 12 hours it becomes "gross". Anyone dumb enough to drink it must make a constitution saving throw or get 1 HP damage .
