How many cups of coffee or tea do you drink a day?

As above, around 2 coffees and 5 teas for me....I’m finding making a hot drink also curbs the need to snack while house bound? Anyone else?

6 ish coffees, mainly earlier in the day. Couple of Diet Coke chasers. No tea.

Rockbird · 07/04/2020 18:04

About 10 but that has definitely gone up since being under house arrest.

Rockbird · 07/04/2020 18:04

Tea that is. I only drink coffee at work.

2 cups of tea only no coffee, gives me acid reflux

AliciaWhiskers · 07/04/2020 18:11

Usually one coffee (from a cafe) and two teas.

Currently about 6 teas. Agree with PP that it’s mainly to curb boredom and to stop myself from eating!

Purpleorangegerberas · 07/04/2020 18:19

I have a problem.... I’d say usually about 12-15 cups of coffee a day. If lockdown wasn’t on then I’d be having about 5-7 a day.
I really want to switch back to tea. I can’t remember the last time I drank tea!
I have a weird rule though that if I start the day with coffee it’s a coffee day and the same with tea, that’s weird apparently 🤷🏻‍♀️😂

No coffee. Four cups of tea a day- but I don’t tend to finish them. I only drink about half of each.

Megan2018 · 07/04/2020 18:21

0 don’t like either!

Mymymycorona · 07/04/2020 18:22

Probably 8, up to 10. 1 real coffee, 1 or 2 real tea, then the rest in decaf of either tea or coffee.

When I'm in work, I'll have 4 strong coffees or more if I get any break and then a few decaff teas when I get home.

SallyWD · 07/04/2020 18:24

1 coffee, about 8 teas

dementedpixie · 07/04/2020 18:25

3 teas a day, no coffee. I drink fizzy juice in the evening

BillywigSting · 07/04/2020 18:27

I've had five coffees so far today and will probably have at least another three before bed. It's a poor substitute for sleep but needs must

VerbenaGirl · 07/04/2020 18:27

2 or 3 cups of tea, one or 2 (large) cups of coffee. Also try to add in some herbal tea - as agree that hot drinks stop me snacking, but too much caffeine makes me jittery.

mynamesmrdiggety · 07/04/2020 19:26

About four coffees and two teas. If I'm at work literally ten coffees!

GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal · 07/04/2020 19:28

About 3 cups of coffee. Occasionally a cup of tea in the afternoon. Mint tea quite often after dinner.

Kenworthington · 07/04/2020 19:29

4-5 cups of coffee, all ‘real’coffee but prob only 2-3 caffeinated. Can’t bear tea

fairgame84 · 07/04/2020 19:31

2 coffees and 3 teas.

Wanderlust21 · 07/04/2020 19:34

4-7 teas.
Only drink coffee if I'm pulling an all nighter or something.

ErrolTheDragon · 07/04/2020 19:34

One or at most two coffees, not sure how many teas beyond 'lots' - decaf after about 5:30

thewooster · 07/04/2020 19:35

3 coffees, 1 tea, 1 white tea and 1 ginger and lemon tea. It stops me snacking.

bruce43mydog · 07/04/2020 19:36

3 coffee 1 tea

goldenorbspider · 07/04/2020 19:42

2 coffees max any more and i have a panic attack I kid you not.

1/2 cups of decaf tea see above
1 peppermint tea

Linnki · 07/04/2020 19:49

Thank you all, good to know I’m not the only one having way more than a couple of teas/coffees a day.... wish plain water would work the same way for me...

I’m drinking loads under lockdown too OP to stave off boredom snacking. Currently have about 7 hot drinks

amusedbush · 07/04/2020 19:51

I used to drink tonnes of coffee - no tea.

I now make an iced latte every morning and I can sip on it over a couple of hours. It’s my favourite part of the day Blush
