2-3 coffees a day. I don’t like black tea… i drink a herbal, nettle tea before bed. Sparkling water rest of the day

Probably between 2-4 cups of tea a day (I only drink decaf after 10am). I don’t like coffee, but wish I did. Shit loads of water.

I don’t like tea , I have at least 3 coffees , a mix of instant and the real stuff
First one when I wake up and go back to bed with my iPad , next at breakfast
Then either elevenses type time or after lunch
Sometimes another at 4 ish and possibly an espresso in the evening

Shloopie · 08/08/2026 18:41

I don't drink tea. I have about 3 iced coffees a week.

YouSawBrigadoon · 08/08/2026 18:43

I don’t drink coffee at all. My husband thinks I’m odd.

I drink tea but it has to be decaf and almost always black. I think I had one about 10 days ago. So not many. I might drink one a day in the winter, I don’t fancy hot drinks in hot weather.

DeftGoldHedgehog · 08/08/2026 18:43

Two big espressos in the morning. I hardly drink tea but sometimes fancy a cup in the afternoon, particularly when the weather is colder.

WigglyFlingo · 08/08/2026 18:44

One coffee. Five cups of tea.

TheGirlWhoLived · 08/08/2026 18:54

2 or three coffees a day, usually an iced coffee too if I go out. I don’t drink any tea, and just sparkling water throughout the day but I’ll have a Diet Coke in the evening if I’m not having red wine!

Mloclam · 08/08/2026 18:59

I drink four coffees in the morning, half decaf. Two teas pm both decaf. Nothing after 6.

Natsku · 08/08/2026 19:01

At weekends if I'm at home then I'll drink 6-8 cups of tea a day, if I'm out all day then maybe just one or two. At work I normally have 4 tea breaks a day so will have 4 cups but no more when I get home usually, but if I'm spending the day scanning parts I have tea breaks constantly because there's not much else to do while the machine scans so then I have a lot more. Sometimes I switch it up with a cup of cocoa though.

gingercat02 · 08/08/2026 19:05

1-2 coffees, no tea, revolting stuff.

FlipFlopVibe · 08/08/2026 19:06

Just 2 cups of tea, Yorkshire Gold, dash of milk and 1 sugar. One around 8am and the other either with my lunch or mid afternoon with a chocolate biscuit or smidge of cake 😋

BoldAquaOP · 08/08/2026 19:10

1-2 decaf teas a day, but only because I have sugar so I limit to 2 cups max

EveryoneUsingOutro · 08/08/2026 19:13

One strong (2 shot espresso style) coffee every morning.

Then mostly just water, sometimes one or two decaf coffees if I feel like it, more often in winter/cold weather.

Don't drink tea. Cant stand the stuff.

stample · 08/08/2026 19:13

When I’m working: 1 or 2 cups of coffee, up to 3 cups of tea, all black
when I’m not working: 2 cups of herbal tea. And up to 4 cups of black tea

TheLovelinessOfDemons · 08/08/2026 19:14

I don't drink tea. 1cup of coffee unless I'm working when I'll also have 1 before work and 1 after, or travelling to see family when I'll 1 on the train there, 2 when we're out and 1 on the train back.

frockandcrocs · 08/08/2026 19:15

Far too much.. I often have 4/5 cups of tea before I leave for work (08:30…).
I only ever have coffee after a run, and only if I’ve stopped at a cafe 🤣

sunbeamsandsparkles · 08/08/2026 19:45

1 coffee, 2 if I've been up in the night with the kids.

inthekitchensink · 08/08/2026 19:47

One tea at wake up, then a coffee, and another coffee just before pick up usually, but iced coffee this summer all afternoon and now am fat.

VivIsBlonde · 08/08/2026 19:52

500 mls of decaf coffee when I first get up, then I have a 500 mls matcha latte between 5.30 - 6.30 all before I go to work , I then have another 500 mls decaf coffee when I get to work and I’ll have another round about 10am, then I drink squash for the rest of the day, sometimes I’ll have an 500 mls of decaf coffee in the evening before bed!

sanityisamyth · 08/08/2026 19:52

None. Don’t like either.

Betadelta · 08/08/2026 19:54

Typically one coffee (sometimes two, sometimes zero).
Sometimes a peppermint tea.
