One strong coffee in the morning, black, no sugar. Not every day though.

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 🤣

I would never stop weeing 😂 tea makes me wee for Britain!

Monkeytennis97 · 08/08/2026 20:09

3 coffees in the morning-max 2 teas in afternoon/early evening

coffeechocolatebooks · 08/08/2026 20:13

About 5 coffees a day, first one when I wake up and the last one between 9 and 10pm before bed, it doesn’t stop me from sleeping. I don’t drink tea.

One coffee first thing, milky, usually with a couple of dates and nuts to help it go down.

Second coffee after lunch, black.

One cup of quadruple espresso in the morning. Then water for the rest of the day

NoisyMonster678 · 08/08/2026 20:23

2 coffees and 1 tea

mtobrokeme · 08/08/2026 20:26

None at all! But you could have asked me how many Coke zeros and Sugar Free red bulls I drink and the answer would be very different!

Realworld10 · 08/08/2026 22:36

2 or 3 cups of coffee a day, DH about 10 cups of tea!

Mere1 · 08/08/2026 23:35

7 mugs of coffee and one of tea per day. Plus other drinks.

bittertwisted · 08/08/2026 23:56

2 or 3 earl grey tea
i don’t like coffee

Honestly I don’t understand my bladder. I can drink tea and soft drinks all day and be fine but one glass of water has me peeing twice an hour. What is that all about jeez.

So about 6 mugs of tea a day for me.

I am the exact opposite!

thornbury · 09/08/2026 03:15

None, except peppermint tea - maybe 2 on a work day, 3 on a weekend.

GarlicAnywhere · 09/08/2026 03:32

Around 2½ litres of black filter coffee. It's all I drink, bar maybe a glass of water and/or wine.

Do I win (or lose, depending on your pov)?

DoAWheelie · 09/08/2026 04:22

None. I do drink other caffeinated drinks though and consume around 150mg a day.

LindorDoubleChoc · 09/08/2026 04:49

Typically two large mugs of tea and one pod coffee. Sometimes (not often) I'll have a mint tea in the evening.

autoimmuneandbeyond · 09/08/2026 05:10

1 - 2 teas, 1 coffee, 1 matcha latte

AndChaosStartsAgain · 09/08/2026 06:26

4-6 teas per day. Rarely drink coffee, maybe once every couple of months.

PersephoneParlormaid · 09/08/2026 06:27

3 or 4 decaf teas and 3 coffees. When I was a kid we didn’t drink water, it was just cups of tea.

StrawberryMatchaLatte · 09/08/2026 06:31

Tea first thing, then coffee a bit later, then about 4 more cups of tea throughout the day. I've had to cut back a little bit on evening drinking of tea as otherwise I'm up several times a night peeing.

Lincslady53 · 09/08/2026 08:03

About 4 tea and 3 or 4 coffees on a good day.

MrsClattenburg · 09/08/2026 08:09

A couple of cups of tea, 3 or 4 coffees (and 6 pints of water)

Sueandthegoldfish · 09/08/2026 09:54

One tea first thing then average four mugs of strong black coffee, but anything after lunch is caffeine free.

omghereistrouble · 09/08/2026 10:52

Always have to have a coffee first thing with my breakfast. After that its mainly squash or water but if I have guests then I may have another coffee or two, occasionally a cup of tea. I usually have tea in a cafe as coffee is too strong for me when they use the machines but if I know its tea in a pot I can make it fairly weak as I prefer

Mykneesareshot · 09/08/2026 12:08

About 8 cups of tea with milk and sugar. Always coffee when out and about (I spend way too much on this). I take a coffee to work with me in the morning from my Tassimo machine. All my tea after 6pm is decaffeinated or I'd be tossing and turning all night.
