Tea - None, foul stuff

At the moment with the never ending heatwave, two cups of coffee, one at each end of the day (decaf)

When it's cooler/winter, maybe 4-5 cups of coffee a day

3 cups of coffee a day on average.

A cup of tea maybe twice a week.

I have a 1 litre teapot, I drink one pot 5-8am, another 10-12am, one about 4ish and the last one 7-9pm.
I only put one tea bag per pot though, and drink tea black with no sugar, so from one POV I have 4 litres of tea, but from another I have 4 cups of tea and 3 litres of water.

2 tea 1 or 2 coffee

Tea none, coffee 3 shots for breakfast, no more during the day.

Twattergy · 09/08/2026 13:45

About 3 cups of tea, before midday. First tea of the day is the best moment in the day IMO!
A cafetiere black coffee (x2 smallish cups) a few times a week, mid morning.

2 teas in the morning, then one or two coffees during the day, can't face coffee first thing in the morning though

Thebinisrightthere · 09/08/2026 15:46

3 cups of caffeinated & 2 cups of decaf plus usually a latte or cappuccino

Up until the last month I was drinking 12-14 mugs of builders tea..strong sml amount of milk..no sugar.i have now cut down to 3-4mugs per day..none after 6pm..as was suffering a lot of acid reflux.

3 cups of coffee in the morning.
Tea - never, because it's a disgusting drink.
Occasionally a peppermint tea in the afternoon, or after a restaurant meal/on holiday.
Usually just still bottled water at lunch and dinner.
Nothing after 7pm.

Too many. I don’t sleep. I also don’t learn.

aintnospringchicken · 09/08/2026 22:33

I don’t drink coffee ,but I have 2-3 cups of decaffeinated tea every day.

HighHeelsOnCobblestones · 09/08/2026 22:49

2 cups of coffee a day. No tea.

Ubugly · 09/08/2026 22:51

Coffee never as find it repulsive.

Tea..maybe one cup in the morning in this never ending heat. Never abroad.

In the winter maybe 2 cups a day. 3 absolute max and then I am tead out 😆

DreamingOfGeneHunt · 09/08/2026 22:58

My mug is a pint and I have on average one tea, three coffee, up to 4 decaf coffee, in it every day.

strawberrykat · 09/08/2026 23:01

Usually no tea now. Probably about once a week if that. Usually 2-4 coffees a day.

Tea - 6-8 cups a day, I've always got one on the go. Mostly decaf after 12pm

lilkitten · 14/08/2026 11:21

Tea I don't drink, just an occasional lemon & ginger tea if I feel ill. Coffee - I have around 8 drinks a day, for coffee it's always double espresso, but I might swap it out for an energy drink or Diet Coke. I have the typical ADHD caffeine response of not getting energy out of it, just getting calm and focused and sleepy.

Dreamcatcherat50 · 14/08/2026 11:27

1 or 2 coffees in the morning. Never after 12pm.

I like the occasional tea but not too close to bedtime.

Proseccoagain · 20/08/2026 21:09

One.tea and one coffee.
