I have one. Every morning, first thing. A Nespresso costa cappucino. I was spending £2.50 a day but switched to a machine and it's nearly as good. If I don't think too hard about it

Anyway - that's all I'll have. Never have a second coffee.

What about you?

2-3 cups no instant - can’t abide the stuff. My stovetop percolator was the best gadget I have ever bought. Can’t believe how expensive coffee pods are!

daisypond · 16/05/2019 12:03

None on a daily basis but I will have one cup on Saturday and Sunday. We have an old fashioned Italian stovetop percolator.

lilabet2 · 16/05/2019 12:07

It varies but probably 3 or 4 cups of normal instant coffee (so less strong than a proper cappuccino) and then a couple of decafs and a couple of cups of tea!

A cup of coffee makes me feel better in the morning and early evening!

Coffee is actually helpful for the gut microbiome and has a mild anti-depressant effect so I think it's great!

managedmis · 16/05/2019 12:17

Almost a full cafetiere at home before work. Sometimes one en route to work.
One at work.

These are all pretty strong coffee shop coffees, none of your nescafe granular stuff for weaklings

I need to cut down. When I was pregnant the no coffee thing was the worst, cheese, alcohol etc didn and bother me but no coffee was hard!

managedmis · 16/05/2019 12:17

Didn't bother me, not did and

DizzyPigeon · 16/05/2019 12:18

None

In this spirit I actually think coffee is good for your skin. I positively glow. And it definitely reduces dark circles.

goingonabearhunt1 · 16/05/2019 12:19

1-2 on a weekday, none after about 2pm.

flameycakes · 16/05/2019 12:20

Tassimo Kenko xl once every morning.

DinkyTie · 16/05/2019 12:21

Yes! I was actually fishing for reasons to keep drinking coffee Grin

Mamabear12 · 16/05/2019 12:21

One a day now bc pregnant. Before that I would have two (sometimes). Any more and I get panic attacks. I’m sensitive to caffeine.

EspressoPatronum · 16/05/2019 12:23

1 every couple of weeks, but I'm pregnant! Usually one most days, always in the morning as I can't sleep otherwise Blush

MightyDonut · 16/05/2019 12:46

Usually around 15-20 cups per day. I have 3 just for breakfast. I can't stand instant coffee though. It has to be fresh and strong.
I have 4 different coffee machines, but i still seem to always use my percolator as i find the pods/pads aren't strong enough for my tastes.

MightyDonut · 16/05/2019 12:48

I never buy coffee while out either. Costa and starbucks etc is disgusting stuff.
Plus iv'e never forgiven starbucks for billing the emergency services for their coffee in the aftermath of 9/11.

ImFreeToDoWhatIWant · 16/05/2019 13:29

One cup first thing in the morning from my top quality full caffeine subscription service beans, and then usually two maybe three decaffs through the day.

SD1978 · 16/05/2019 13:45

On average- approximately 10- mixture of instant and 'posh' drink that instead of water, and at least 6 at work, the rest spread out at home. The joy of being a night shift hospital worker!

teyem · 16/05/2019 13:47

Three or four cups a day, homemade, bean to cup, laziness.

WonderTweek · 16/05/2019 13:52

I used to have around 10 cups a day when I was 18. I was rather hyper. Now I have one large (0.5 litre) cup of nice, strong filter coffee in the morning, then 1-3 at work but nothing in the late afternoon/evening as I can't sleep otherwise. I love a good filter coffee and I was over the moon when my boss got a coffee machine for our office because he knew how much I like my coffee. Now he's given it to the senior managers' office as apparently they like coffee more. Sad

YesQueen · 16/05/2019 13:57

Not much coffee
Between 4-9 giant mugs of tea
Couple of litres of water or weak squash

DianaPrincessOfThemyscira · 16/05/2019 14:02

At least one, sometimes up to five a day.

I’ll have at least one in the morning (loving a cold brew at the moment) and maybe buy at work although I’m trying to cut that down.

thenewaveragebear1983 · 16/05/2019 14:07

I have probably 3 cups from my cafetière (sometimes before 9am Blush) and then maybe 1 or 2 pods as well. Never after 3pm. I really think I should cut down because I struggle to sleep sometimes and that's probably the first thing to change.

motortroll · 16/05/2019 14:09

I drink loads but switched to decaf in February. Had s 3 day withdrawal headache and now I just drink decaf. I have between 3 and 4 a day which is less as I'm not relying on a huge caffeine hit anymore! I also drink more water/squash now!

dreamyflower · 16/05/2019 14:14

I have 2 under 2 and am not breastfeeding so A LOT. On average about 5 cups a day- switch to tea at about 6pm. 😂😂 I did have a coffee machine but it was getting too expensive.

doubleshotespresso · 16/05/2019 14:17

8-10 mugs a day sometimes more. If my nespresso broke down do would I
