Cups of coffee

[7dayslater]

AIBU to ask you how much coffee or tea you drink per day?

Also, if you feel you need it in the morning to properly wake up?

I drink x3 cups of coffee a day. Sometimes have a tea although not everyday.

@squeekums

Ah yes warmth - definitely a factor

1 coffee a week on a Sunday as a treat.
1-3 cups of decaf tea a day (rooibos).
1 cup of caf tea a day, usually mid-afternoon as a pick-me-up.

I've cut way back on caffeine due to anxiety. Once you get past the first week or so, you find you don't need it so much in the mornings any more. IME anyway.

I was asked how many cups of tea or coffee I had a day to which I replied 6-8 . You would have thought I was mainlining coke the way the dr responded.

Eeek. I really better reel in my 8 cuppas too! It depends on size of the mug too though. Mine are small - some are like the size of bowls with handles!

2-3 large cups of coffee every morning, I can't function without it.

I very rarely drink coffee other than that unless I get a 'craving' for a Starbuck's or other 'fancy' coffee or I'm getting drowsy and need energy.

I don't drink a lot of tea as a regular thing (American, here). I seem to go in fits and starts of drinking a lot of tea (instead of coffee) then not having any. But it is what my friends and I drink when we get together or when one of us needs comfort.

When I was growing up I was given tea as the 'cure for what ails you' when I was sick or sad. I guess I still have a bit of feeling that it has some kind of magical all-healing properties. 🤷🏼‍♀️☕️

No coffee because it's horrid.
I have a pint mug of tea on a morning but never, ever finish it.
If I'm at work I don't drink anything during the day.
At home I use 3 teabags and fill up the teapot (1.7L) and keep topping my mug up for a few hours (though I never actually finish the mug; I top it up because it goes cold and I hate cold tea). I have a 2nd teapot if h comes home and I make one for the both of us.

Just average sized mugs delicate fine bone china mugs. I don’t have any of those huge ceramic type mugs ( except the Star Wars monstrosity which is not mine )

Am probably perimenopausal thought which can also be an issue...
Don’t mean to put anybody off drinking their daily cuppa, but at least if it happens to you, there’s a potential solution

3 mugs of tea and two coffees a day.

The two I cannot function without are my first tea of the day (the first thing I do) and my first coffee of the day (around 9 am).

None at all. I only drink sugar free squash these days. I've struggled for years with insomnia and cutting out all caffeine helped a bit.

Between 2-5 cups of coffee/day

Drink tea throughout the day almost constantly

Caffeine addict here and DEFINITELY need my morning coffee to wake up/function/not growl at everyone… I'm not especially proud of being so dependent, but then again it must be better than pills/heroin, no? And I don't drink or smoke, so it's my one vice really.
I have two cups in quick succession (made at home in a plunger; I like it a bit gritty). If out, one flat white usually does me as long as they make it with two shots not one.

That's it for coffee but then I have an Earl Grey or Darjeeling mid-morning and one mid-afternoon. Herbal tea only from about 4pm on.

Have never drunk tea or coffee. Cant stand the smell of coffee and don't like tea.

I drink three nespresso coffees first thing and then about another 7-8 during the day. Then I switch to decaf nespresso after 21:00 and will probably have another 2. I love coffee, I think about coffee when I am not drinking coffee. It is the only thing that I consume that never fails to make me think "Yum!".

I will perhaps have one cup of tea a day, but it is not as delicious.

Now I want a coffee!

Yesterday I think I had 11 cups of tea. I drink a lot of the stuff and lots of different types. I need tea to feel properly awake in the morning even if it's something that doesn't have caffeine in it (like rooibos.)

I don't drink coffee at all though.

1 coffee first thing in the morning, occasionally another one if I'm tired but usually tea for the rest of the day.

About 10 mugs of decaf coffee a day

One or two coffees. The occasional cup of tea at the weekend.

1-2 cups of tea a day, one first thing in the morning, one when I get in from work if I'm not going straight out again for a child's activity. 1-2 cups of mint tea in the office on weekdays, or another 1-2 cups of regular tea in the day at the weekends.

It doesn't seem like a lot, but if I don't have the morning one, I'll get a nagging headache for the rest of day. The others are optional.

I used to drink a lot of black tea at work, but it made me yo-yo between jittery and tired.

Two double shot coffees , no tea.
I don’t need it in the morning, but I love it.

1 Cup of Jasmine Green tea, cannot drink normal black tea

then only 1 cup of black coffee the rest of the day, no sugar in either.

Only other drink I have is water, from the tap, never bottled

I only have a coffee if im in work. But only around 10.30/11am. If you have it too soon after waking your body gets used to it to 'wake up'. You need to let your body adjust to morning itself.
I might have another hot drink in the after at work (tea or mint tea)
If i dont have one in the afternoon then i tend to have one early evening, again if its late il have mint tea.
So basically 2 cups of some kinda hot drink in the day

1 coffee first thing in the morning
1 normal tea in the afternoon
1/2 herbal teas in between

None. Hate hot drinks!

Never drink coffee, have the occasional herbal/fruit tea (or the even more occasional tea-tea) but mostly just drink water.

I've just ditched dairy, so have cut down on my tea and coffee massively, I used to have cups of tea and 2 of coffee a day. BUT they were decaf. I now have 1 coffee and 1 herbal tea. Rarely have coffee in the morning, but even if I do it's usually decaf, I have a ridiculously sensitive bladder.

I don't need caffeine to wake up.

Decaf green tea in the morning
2 cups of herbal/fruit tea(not really tea but that’s what it’s called) during the day .
I gave up caffeine almost a year ago and it’s totally life changing, no more slumps and highs during the day.
