“First I drink the coffee. Then I save the lives”

Then I do the things” is a coffee saying that has been printed on many images. “First I drink the coffee then I do the things” was posted on Twitter by كائن السيسو on June 9, 2014. “First I drink the coffee, then I do the things” was posted on Twitter by Karley Fries on April 30, 2015. The saying probably originated on an image.
 
There is a teacher version of the saying. “I just saw a shirt on Instagram that says ‘First I drink the coffee, then I teach the kids.’ I think I need it for my future” was posted on Twitter by Aubrie Erwin on March 21, 2017. “First I Drink The Coffee Then I Teach First Grade”—a less popular version—was posted on Twitter by Noelle Pohl also on March 21, 2017.
 
There is a superhero version of the saying. “First, I drink the coffee. Then, I save the world” was posted on Twitter by Captain Marvel THE REGIME on June 29, 2017.
