2 coffees a day. No tea

PDAalltheway · 08/08/2026 02:57

1 coffee, no tea.

iamnotalemon · 08/08/2026 03:54

Maybe about 4/5 cups of tea a day. I’d drink more in England when it was cold!

Devilsmommy · 08/08/2026 04:00

25 tea and coffees a day😅 I don't drink anything else 😂

Two mugs of tea befpre 7.30am. 4 coffees before 1.30pm, but two are decaff. Thereafter Mint tea otherwise I'm awake until the wee hours; not just for a wee, which I must have now.

3 teas, 2 before 1 get out of bed. Always Yorkshire.
Coffee maybe 3 times a week, Americano with hot milk.

MurielTheTerrible · 08/08/2026 07:24

4-6 black coffees every day, evening is usually water or mint tea. I like a regular tea but don't drink milk anymore, so it's a rare event. If I'm not getting tired at bedtime, I have a small coffee then too (small due to the nighttime toilet issue).

timtamsarebetterthanpenguins · 08/08/2026 07:29

No tea, maybe 2 cups of coffee on average.

BCBird · 08/08/2026 07:32

No coffees. Love the smell but not the taste. Tea about 5 or 6 if off work. Less if working. Decaf Yorkshire tea- poor second best to regular Yorkshire tea.

Tiddlywinks63 · 08/08/2026 07:34

Probably 2-3 mugs of tea, 1-2 coffees.
i prefer sparkling water with a dash of orange juice.

IHateShein · 08/08/2026 07:35

I seem to put the kettle on every 20 minutes.

I've never counted though. I'll tally today.

I think I may be Tony Benn's love child.

Single espresso made into a mini flat white first thing, same after lunch. Cup of naice tea with breakfast and sometimes a builders mid afternoon, don’t take milk or sugar. A mint tea after dinner and something like camomile or lemon and ginger before bed.

Maisymouse2 · 08/08/2026 07:37

Lots of tea 🫖

BendyDickCumbInMySnatch · 08/08/2026 07:40

My dh has about 10 sports direct mugs of tea a day - whole milk no sugar. Nothing else to drink

I have about 5 normal mug sizes whole milk one sugar, about 5 herbal tea also

Katypp · 08/08/2026 07:40

2 cups of espresso in bed, tea with breakfast, one cup of Americano with an espresso shot mid morning. One mug of tea mid afternoon. Hot chocolate begore bed

zurigo · 08/08/2026 07:41

Tea - 5 mugs (caffeine free)
Coffee - 2 small mugs

hellospring26 · 08/08/2026 07:48

None

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 08/08/2026 07:49

5 cups of tea and 2 cups of coffee all decaff

whereonthestair · 08/08/2026 07:52

Sometimes 1 cup of coffee in the morning. Sometimes 2 on holiday. Usually none of either. I prefer the taste of water. Tea is horrible in all incarnations

Girlintheframe · 08/08/2026 07:55

Two coffees very occasionally three. No tea, had to give it up when I stopped drinking milk. Can’t stand the taste of black tea.

MightyGoldBear · 08/08/2026 07:55

Maybe one cup of tea a week to dip my biscuits into 😂 I don't drink it and its not every week.

3 litres?
That's quite a strain for your kidneys, plus an increased risk for kidney stones.

Where do you get that idea from?

Fifthtimelucky · 08/08/2026 09:34

None of either!

DemBonesDemBones · 08/08/2026 09:35

1-2 coffees, 5-8 teas. Too much!
