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

If you drink them? And what time do you generally have your last caffeinated drink?

I probably have three or four (a mix of both) on average, and try to not have caffeine after about 5pm. Still think this is too late and interferes with my sleep though which is annoying Hmm

Back in my early twenties I would drink 10 to 12 cups of tea a day no problem Shock

How about you?

I have a litre teapot, I put one tea bag in a pot and have 5 of those a day.
3-4 of those are black tea, the other is green/herbal/redbush.

2 cups of tea a day generally, one first thing and one mid morning then no caffeine after that. I used to guzzle tea alllllll day totting up about 8 or 9 cups but then wasn't drinking anything else at all and needed to up my water intake as tea is a diuretic.

One coffee about 8/9ish then another about 10/11. No coffee after 12 as I won’t sleep!

Have a green tea mid afternoon but not sure if this is affecting my sleep so may have to move it earlier. Very jealous of my DH who can have a coffee after a late dinner and still sleep like a baby....

I'd say 3-5 cups of coffee a day. Sometimes one of those will be tea instead but not often. I rarely have coffee after about 5pm but might have an occasional cup of tea in the evening if I fancy it.

Lovingtheglitter · 08/07/2020 21:54

I dont drink tea at all and will average 4 cups of coffee a day, the last coffee is usually around 8pm and I have no problems sleeping!

Crunchymum · 08/07/2020 21:56

4-5 normal tea and a chamomile before bed.

AWryGiraffe · 08/07/2020 21:56

I don't feel so bad now!

I have about 4 or sometimes 5 a day, usually don't have any past 3pm.

lazylinguist · 08/07/2020 21:58

2 or 3 cups of tea a day, one of them sometimes herbal or decaf. One cup of decaf coffee a day. Proper coffee messes with my sleep even if I drink it in the morning! I thought I must be imagining that, but I looked it up and apparently it is possible for caffeine-sensitive people to still have the effects hours and hours later. Tbh I never drank coffee for the buzz anyway - I just like the taste, so I drink good quality ground decaf.

TheMandalorian · 08/07/2020 21:59

2-3 these days. Generally 1_2 first thing when I wake up and then another sometime before 3pm.
Sometimes more if I'm cold or been out for a bracing walk.
Used to have a lot more in my teens and twenties. At one point I got into a ridiculous office round situation where someone was making one every half hour and I didn't feel like I could refuse a drink. Grin

5-6 filter coffees every day, often take one to bed as well, never affects my sleep.

Never drink tea.

VictoriaBun · 08/07/2020 22:04

Drink 2 large mugs of decaf black coffee before 10am . Then onto peppermint tea throughout the day. I'd say ( including water ) easily over 2 litres a day.

caringcarer · 08/07/2020 22:06

I drink decaff tea. I drink about 4 pots of tea a day and typically have 2 or 3 cups from each pot. I also have a latte most days. I don't drink fizzy drinks or squash but have some water too.

Tavannach · 08/07/2020 22:12

3 or 4 coffees during the day and 1 or 2 herbal teas. Hardly ever drink tea.

vinoandbrie · 08/07/2020 22:14

None, they make me shake! So silly that I can’t even take a cup of tea!

QueenCT · 08/07/2020 22:20

4-8 mugs of tea. Can drink it all the way up until bedtime and it doesn't affect my sleep

museumum · 08/07/2020 22:21

Probably around 6 cups of tea. Usually last around 5/6pm unless I’ve had a huge dinner (eg eating out) in which case I’ll have another after.
No coffee. Rarely drink coke.

Doilooklikeatourist · 08/07/2020 22:27

Maybe 5-6 coffees a day , usually instant
But I do love a double shot americano when I can have one
Not concerned about drinking a coffee later , sometimes I dont sleep well , but it's not coffee related
I don't like tea

Purplegloves · 08/07/2020 22:45

I have my first coffee (always cafe au lait coffee pods in the machine) at 9am, then another at about 10.30am, and my third and last at around 3pm. I used to be a devout Earl Grey tea drinker but after I moved to a different area years ago I tasted a displeasing change in the water and went off it!

ColourMeExhausted · 08/07/2020 22:54

Cup of coffee in the morning, and another in the afternoon. My bladder can't handle anymore than that! When i was office based it was 3 cups a day, first one always a latte.
