How much coffee do you drink a day?

[w1dpc]

the pot is on from when i get up till almost bedtime. so lots of coffee everyday

 

[robinb9]

2 cups. One at breakfast. One at lunch. But not all the time at lunch, say 3 x a wk tops

 

[COMPUTIAC]

Only 2 a day but, if I tell my Dr.
he will spank me !

 

[smarteyeball]

Nil here for me also.

Although I drink a couple of cans of Diet Coke. That gives me some form of caffeine hit.

I mainly drink tea now. I used to drink a fair bit of instant coffee. Brewed coffee when I'm out but more than one cup starts to give me the shakes.

Not a drop here either, never have. I drink water all day. Have a glass or Dr.Pepper or Lemonade with dinner. Replaced sodas all day with water a few years ago. A Guy

for those that drink tea to avoid caffeine.
there is more caffeine in tea than coffee.

 

[A Guy]

Not in the end drink apparently.

Tea contains more caffeine than coffee by dry weight. A typical serving, however, contains much less, since tea is normally brewed much weaker. Also contributing to caffeine content are growing conditions, processing techniques, and other variables. Thus, certain types of tea may contain somewhat more caffeine than other teas.

My in take during the day is via the instant kind, the filter coffee machine though goes on once a day after dinner and I have 2 mugs from that.
Years ago I would drink tea but don't touch it these days, I like my coffee too much, it doesn't give me any troubles like headaches etc. so I carry on and have no intentions of altering the habit.

For me its a full 12 cups brewed each morning and on any given day I will drink 80-100% of that pot. Then switch to water and will drink 3-6 liters of water. When I think about it I really give my bladder a workout.....not sure that's a good thing?

Don't know how much it takes to make my day but I only have one cup of espresso with my morning email and that's it.

I am addicted, have always been. A normal day begins with 3 mugs (one mug about 25 cl or 8.5 fluid ounces) of strong coffee, that's my breakfast. Two more before lunch, a few during the afternoon, two or three in the evening.

According to Angie's statistics, in our household we consume about 500 gr (17.6 oz) of filter coffee, 250 gr (8.8 oz) espresso and 200 gr (7 oz) of instant coffee per week, from which Angie drinks one cup every morning and second late afternoon, rest being consumed by me.

I started drinking coffee at the age of around 6. My grandfathers famous Tar. If it wasn't drank the first day you got it warmed up the next day. Sometimes he would make coffee in what he called his reserve. Put in big jars and store it under the sink. Sometimes it would get a little moldy. He would just pour the mold off and reheat it. In school they thought I was hyper. I didn't know then I was just on a caffeine buzz. No I'm not making this up. My grandfather did a lot of strange things. I have been hooked on coffee every sense. It's nice to be hook on something you enjoy that is legal.

Never drank a cup of coffee in my life, and never will. The smell alone puts me off. I've been told I'll never be a successful software developer without drinking coffee.

Funny thing is, though I detest the taste of coffee, I love the aroma (unless it's stale; that's a whole nuther story). Even odder was, when I worked in a convenience stores, my customers would frequently tell me I made better coffee than anyone else (the "secret" was thoroughly cleaning the coffee makers and keeping the coffee fresh).

I drink WAY too much coffee (up to 4 or 5 litres a day sometimes), but have done so since my first job
in the newspaper game. Long hours and inflexible deadlines combined to make it an essential part of the
day, not a luxury or an option.



Even today, I've had four mugs before I even leave the house, and the first thing I do when I get to work
is put the kettle on. Some bosses wouldn't like that, but mine's good with it, he's coffee-fuelled too.



Nowadays I'm usually on the comp till the wee-smalls, working, researching, posting on forums or
frigging about with Photo-Shop and the need for coffee hasn't diminished at all.

No coffee for me, I have 1 cup of tea in the morning and then i'll drink a couple of red bulls or blackcurrant juice. I'm trying to stop drinking red bull though as it's seriously bad for my health. I was drinking atleast 8 a day but no more than 2 now
