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?

Well I didn't pick this name for fun!

I dunno, loads. at least 6/7 a day. I love tea Grin

A large mug of coffee for breakfast and that it generally it. Very occasionally I might have a second one and every now and then I have one in the evening if I need something hot. It doesn't affect my sleep.
I am not that keen on tea, so I don't drink it.

Chasingsquirrels · 07/04/2020 19:52

1 coffee a day, when I get to work in the morning. Only on the 4 days per week I work
I haven't had one for over 2 weeks as I've been working from home and now furloughed.

Can't stand tea.

bigchris · 07/04/2020 19:52

3 or 4 cups of coffee , used to be 6 or 7

DazzlingDee · 07/04/2020 20:05

3 - 5 teas per day. No coffee

YerAWizardHarry · 07/04/2020 20:19

Between 0 and 3 cups of coffee a day. No tea.

CassandraCross · 07/04/2020 20:23

I daren't add up how many cups of tea I drink in a day judging by the amount of tea bags we get through it is a lotBlush. I might, just might, do it tomorrow and reveal the shocking result!

kayakingmum · 07/04/2020 20:24

3 teas (first thing in the morning, lunch time and mid-afyernoon).
1 or 2 coffees mid morning.

I know it wasn't asked but I also have a hot chocolate when I go to bed.

Drinks structure my day.

KeepWashingThoseHands · 07/04/2020 20:25

When I'm in the office about the same as you OP.

Now I'm WFH I'd say I'm drinking more water and wine Blush.

Toilenstripes · 07/04/2020 20:27

I’m not from the U.K. so I find the obsession with hot drinks very interesting. I’ve recently noticed my young niece and nephew being indoctrinated. 😄

OxanaVorontsova · 07/04/2020 20:28

3-4 coffees, 1 or 2 teas

ShowOfHands · 07/04/2020 20:32

One earl grey with breakfast. Then I only drink water (several pints) or herbal/fruit teas on occasion.

DH drinks way too much coffee and if he doesn't, gets a headache.

Toomanydishes · 07/04/2020 20:35

2 coffees before midday( but I have a big mug each time ) , a chai after lunch and if I'm not too busy working a green tea about 4 o'clock

MrsJonesAndMe · 07/04/2020 20:43

Zero. Under normal circumstances a hot chocolate daily, but at the moment probably once or twice a week now I have to make it myself Grin

userxx · 07/04/2020 20:49

About 7. I love coffee, used to drink it out of a beaker as a small child.

lokoho · 07/04/2020 20:51

1-3 coffees in a day - I drink it more when I'm out because tea out is so often a risk. Maybe 3 - 6 cups of tea. Sometimes more...

notacooldad · 07/04/2020 21:02

I've gone from having around 10 cups of coffee a day on work days to 1 a day now I'm working at home.

TotorosFurryBehind · 07/04/2020 21:06

A 1 litre thermos flask a day!

I make myself a flask in the morning and take to living room as I have a baby and find it hard to make drinks during the day. But it's also saves teabags and electric.

TheEndIsBillNighy · 07/04/2020 21:08

Since lockdown it’s been 3 coffees a day (the final one will likely be decaf & is an attempt to not snack before dinner!), and one cup of tea.

CanICelebrate · 07/04/2020 21:10

About 10-12 cups of tea a day but the majority are decaf

KitKat1985 · 07/04/2020 21:15

4-5 teas a day. But I try not to drink caffeinated drinks after about 5pm now as it disturbs my sleep.

GinWithASplashOfTonic · 07/04/2020 21:19

3 / 4 coffees
1-2 teas

TwoZeroTwoZero · 07/04/2020 21:22

I make loads - at least 2 pots of tea (and the teapot holds 1.7l) a day if not more. I don't drink it all though; I fill up our pint mugs and I drink half of mine but then it goes cold so I top it up and I keep doing this until there's none left. I always end up chucking the last half cup away.

I recently bought some teapigs chocolate and choc & mint tea and they're both lovely. I had a cup of each today and almost finished them!

I don't like coffee.

SunshineDays2019 · 07/04/2020 21:38

8-10 cups of tea per day. No coffee, yuk!

Figgygal · 07/04/2020 21:42

3 cups of tea
Usually around 10.30, 3 then 8 after the kids are in bed
