How many cups of coffee do you drink every day? No coffee for me, I drink tea

[debm55]

[ProfessorGAC]

1. One, Maybe Two

I'm super fussy about temperature. Even in a thermo mug, it gets too cold for to enjoy it fairly quickly.
I might pour 2 cups, but likely only actually drink half of each. Maybe less!

[debm55]

7. Thank you ProfessorGAC. Thank you.

[Ziggysmom]

2. At least 4 or 5. I LOVE LOVE LOVE coffee!!

Plus, when I’ve tried to eliminate caffeine, it made my migraines worse.

[debm55]

8. Thank you Ziggysmom. I am glad your migraines are better.

[MustLoveBeagles]

3. 2-3

[debm55]

9. Thank you MustLoveBeagles.

[Polly Hennessey]

4. Usually one in the morning. I always have coffee when I go out to eat.

I’m one of those individuals that can drink coffee before bedtime and fall instantly asleep. Coffee is one of life’s pleasures. ☕️😋

[debm55]

10. Thank you Polly Hennessey. I am surprised you can sleep

[hlthe2b]

5. I drink both. Hot usually black coffee (2 cups in the morning) and iced or occasionally hot black, green or oolong tea

throughout the day.

(I don't drink soft drinks. I tend to drink mostly water when I work out.

[debm55]

12. Thank you hlth2b. Mine is water and tea.

[Jilly_in_VA]

6. Two if at all possible

On mornings when I go to the shelter it's liable to be only one big one though. On winter afternoons I'm likely to have a cup of green tea.

[Aristus]

11. Two.

I'm done with the day's coffee by eight am. As bad as my insomnia is, I don't want to make it worse.

[debm55]

14. Thank you Aristus.,

[TommieMommy]

13. Half a cup of coffee, then the rest of the day it's green tea😁

Lots of water too

[debm55]

16. Thank you TommieMommy.

[NotASurfer]

15. Cups, or cups, or mugs?

Diners tend to use 6 ounce cups which I suspect is because that's the size in a standard tea cup circa 1800. A standard cup is 8 ounces. America super sized our mugs to 10 or 12 ounces.

I go through about 3 mugs, so 4-5 cups at 8 ounces a pop, or 5-6 cups at diner sized.

Prrrrrrrrrobably too much any way you pour it

[debm55]

17. Thank you NotASurfer. Are you able to sleep?

[Cartoonist]

18. Ice coffee and energy drinks

One serving of each per day.

[debm55]

20. Thank you Cartoonist.

[surfered]

19. A couple of cups of decaf for us.

[debm55]

21. Thank you surfered.

[underpants]

22. Two in the morning and I take it with me all day.

ALL day.

[debm55]

25. Thank you underpants.

[Cirsium]

23. Three

I drink three cups a day. I once asked the owner of a coffee shop I used to frequent many years ago: "Jimmy, do you think 60,000 or so cups of this stuff over a stretch of, oh, say 60 years would do me any harm?" He said "no" so I just carried on.

[debm55]

28. Thank you Cirsium

[EYESORE 9001]

24. Two, typically

Although I use a big cup, so probably 3 ordinary human-size cups. Also, I’ll sometimes have coffee with a meal when dining out. I consider myself fortunate to have the ability to sleep fine after coffee in the evening.

[debm55]

30. Thank you EYESORE 9001 that is interesting you can sleep after coffee.

[kimbutgar]

26. One only

[debm55]

31. Thank you kimbutgar.

[OLDMDDEM]

27. One mug every morning.

[debm55]

32. Thank you OLDMDDEM,

[liberal N proud]

29. I have 1 or 2 Cokes a day

I drink the Coke Zero to reduce sugar intake but that’s my only source of caffeine

[debm55]

33. Thank you Liberal N Proud.

[Basso8vb]

34. About 1 or 2 cups per month.

[debm55]

41. Thank you Basso8vb. That's pretty good.

[johnp3907]

35. Tea for me too!

Although heart palpitations have made me way down on caffeine.

[debm55]

44. Thank you John3907, I never liked the taste of coffee.

[Kali]

36. one

and it is a must-have. the rest of the day's caffeine is from iced tea and the occasional cola.

[debm55]

45. Thank you Kali. Tea in the morning and water the rest of the day.

[cloudbase]

37. I'm thankful for you tea drinkers.

More coffee for the rest of us.

[debm55]

46. HAHAHAHAHHA. thank you cloudbase.

[MiHale]

38. Between 8 to 12...

Wake at 4-4:30…done with coffee after lunch, usually at about 12. All depends on what needs to be done. We make half-caf nowadays. Used to have a 32 cup coffee urn that went all day…never a problem sleeping and that was fully caffeinated. We were running 16-18 hour days at that point running three different businesses. Felt great to retire even if it meant half-caf.

[debm55]

48. Thank you very much. MiHale. I guess you were able to get back to half caff.

[Glorfindel]

39. Four to six

depending on the mood I'm in. I really LOVE coffee!

[debm55]

49. Thank you Glorfindel. Are you able to sleep?

[Glorfindel]

68. Yes. I've always been a good sleeper!

[debm55]

73. Thank you. You are lucky.

[Pinback]

40. Two 12-oz. mugs, typically.

I can get by on one if crunched for time, but 2 big cups put me in a good position to have a productive, or at least normal, day.

I’m a pourover dork, so I use good beans, a quality burr grinder, and consistent temp & technique for each cup.

[debm55]

50. Thank you Pinback. Good strategy.

[Americanme]

42. 3 mugs minimum

Usually more, especially when it's cold out. Some days I will drink black coffee from 4am until 6pm.

[debm55]

51. Thank you Americanme.

[arkielib]

43. 2 cups in the morning

Then I switch to decaf and tea in the afternoon.

[debm55]

52. Thank you arkielib. I like the schedule.

[Marigold]

47. My husband and I have dueling machines

He got me hooked on coffee when we started dating. I drink two cups of Nespresso with soy milk, and he drinks two pots of coffee, black. He sleeps like a baby.

[debm55]

53. Thank you Marigold. That is amazing that he is able to sleep.

[Jeebo]

54. I drink unsweetened Lipton Pure Leaf bottled tea ...

... sweetened with Splenda, and Dr. Pepper Zero. Rarely anything else. I have drunk coffee only once in my entire life. That was in 1966 when I and a bunch of other kids went to a local drive-in theatre and pitched a drunk. After a few hours one of the kids drove me to a drive-in restaurant and poured coffee down my throat. I was 16. That was the only time in my life that I've ever drunk coffee and almost the only time I've ever drunk anything alcoholic — beer, wine or hard liquor. I can't stand the stuff now, never touch the stuff and never have, with that one exception when I was 16.

— Ron

[debm55]

58. Thank you Jeebo, I only had a taste of coffee in college. It was bitter and never tried it again.

[Hassler]

55. One 14 oz mug

[debm55]

93. Thank you Hassler. Enjoy the brew.

[yellowdogintexas]

56. One very large cup. I have a couple of 14 oz mugs that I really like

and my little coffee pot makes just the right amount.

[debm55]

59. Thank you yellowdogintexas. Enjoy.

[pandr32]

57. 2--5 depending.

My 'cups' are usually more than 8 ounces and I always prefer dark roasts.

[debm55]

61. Thank you pandr32 Enjoy your dark roasted.

[fargone]

60. Not a fan of really hot beverages (or soup)

I have to let them cool substantially. I don't drink coffee, too bitter. I don't drink tea, the bags get stuck in my throat.

[debm55]

63. Thank you fargone. Don't you remove the bags when the tea is brewed?

[fargone]

66. You can do that?

[debm55]

74. Yes you can , try it.

[dwayneb]

62. Usually 1/2 cup - used to be 3-4

Before retirement as an engineer I cranked down 3- 4 cups of coffee in the morning.

Now that I don't need that jolt of energy in the morning I either go decaff, or sometimes, a half cup.

[debm55]

64. Thank you very much dwayneb

[Diamond_Dog]

65. 2-3 cups of coffee usually morning only.

[debm55]

70. Thank you Diamond_Dog.

[Mike Nelson]

67. Just one...

... one in the AM is my limit. More and I bounce off the walls. Next, I have tea. Limit two cups of black or green tea. then, if I must, it's decaf or water. I cut out sodas and fruit drinks, so they are off the table.

[debm55]

71. HAHAHAH, Thank you Mike Nelson.

[FloridaBlues]

69. Usually 3 cups depends if I'm running late in the morning

[debm55]

72. Thank you very much FloridaBlue.

[Midnight Writer]

75. Zero, but I do take a 100 mg caffeine pill along with my morning meds.

I used to live on coffee, working lots of odd shifts, but as I got older, it began to upset my stomach, affect my taste buds, and stain my teeth. So I gave it up and instead just take a pill for a "wake-me-up".

[debm55]

77. Thank you very much , Midnight Writer.

[3catwoman3]

76. Zero - can't stand the stuff. I don't even like the smell.

I do like tiramisu as long as the coffee flavor is very mild.

When I was a kid, my dad insisted that I dunk an oatmeal cookie in coffee, which he liked to do. I didn't want to, but he wouldn't take no for an answer. I thought it tasted awful, and am quite sure this experience is the root of my dislike of coffee.

[debm55]

79. Thank you 3catwoman3. I not only dislike the taste of coffee but also the smell. I would rather have the cookies in milk

[3catwoman3]

89. For me, milk is the gold standard chaser for baked goods of any kind.

I put a mug of milk in the freezer long enough for a crust of ice to form so it is really, really cold.

[Elessar Zappa]

78. Usually two big cups.

But I can go weeks without it with no problem.

[debm55]

81. Thank you very much Elessar Zappa. Thats great.

[Shermann]

80. Nine

Definitions are needed, however. The cups marked on a carafe are typically 5 ounces, and I measure out 9 which works out to 45 ounces. A coffee mug is around 8 ounces, so this works out to 5 1/2 mugs. 45 ounces is what my thermos holds, and I fill 'er up every morning. A pot is typically 12 cups. So, 3/4 of a pot.

[debm55]

82. Thank you Shermann, but aren't you bouncing off the wall?

[Shermann]

83. It takes that much caffeine just for me to function normally.

Even then I'm pretty mellow.

[debm55]

84. HAHAHAHAHAH. Thank you Shermann.

[Wicked Blue]

85. Two cups of tea

Sometimes a third.

[debm55]

86. Thank you Wicked Blue. Enjoy your cup of tea.

[Harker]

87. I have one or two double shots of espresso every year.

Tea every day.

[Different Drummer]

88. One cup every morning.

[debm55]

92. Thank you Different Drummer. Enjoy your morning brew.

[KitFox]

90. Coffee lover here!

I usually have 4 cups (black) spread throughout the day and night. I like dark French roast finely ground. I use Melita filters and a glass carafe and pour just before it boils hot water over. Sometimes in the summer I have ice coffee with a splash of 1/2 and 1/2. My folks were coffee drinkers and I started drinking it when I was in high school.

[debm55]

91. Thank you KitFox. I had tea since High School.

[Emile]

94. Too much!
