How much coffee is unreasonable?

[OnCallAgain]

If you count 1 x teaspoon as 1 cup.

I'll have two or three Nespresso coffees a day (used to have the fancy mega money bean to cup machine but my god was it a ball ache being my own unpaid barista) a smattering of tea, and if I'm off anywhere in the car a ridiculously large Starbucks compromised of 4 shots of coffee

I am Magics boss....at least 20 cups a day, no issues sleeping. And yes I'm aware this is wayyyy too much

9 or so, up till 8pm or so. No trouble sleeping.
When I was working it was more like 12

For me, a normal day is:

1-2 cups of instant coffee.
1-2 glasses of iced coffee.
At least two cans of pepsi max, sometimes three.

I do have a full-blown caffeine addiction, though!

Wait.....there's a thing as too much coffee????

I was coming on to say the same 😂😂

My elderly PILs probably drink about 10 espresso strength "real" coffees a day. They are very slow and relaxed. If they went to decaf they'd probably seize up. I don't know how they manage - I'd be gibbering after that much but it works for them.

One thing to add, never try dry instant (unmade) coffee. Worst headache ever.

Also something like 20 a day.

I have three before I get out of bed (dh brings me coffee in bed) and then I almost continuously have a mug on the go.

Douwe Egberts at home, proper coffee at work.

I drink a mix of tea and coffee
2 in the morning
1 morning break
1 lunch
1 pm break

So 5? Then possibly another 2 decaf. I don't sleep anyway

@pangolina - you're my drinks twin!

I limit myself to two (proper, from a machine, with ground coffee) mugs per day. No issues sleeping, but caffeine isn't good for us. Copious amounts of green tea the rest of the day, sometimes ginger tea too, because that's lovely.

Unless you hand pick the beans yourself and tread them with your own naked feet in the bath, then roast them in an antique coffee roaster over an open fire in your baronial hall, it’s not real coffee.

tl;dr instant coffee tastes like shit anyway so it doesn’t matter

I've recently started drinking the percol instant espresso and that's pretty decent for an instant illy is good, lavazza is ok. If I drink more than two a day I get headachey but I put two heaped teaspoons per mug. DH probably has a couple of coffees and about a million cups of tea a day and has no noticeable effects. I do wonder if it's because he's been drinking tea since his mum gave it to him in a bottle (I know...) and I didn't drink tea or coffee until I went to uni, so I'm just not as accustomed to it

Only 3 or 4 cups a day here, and rarely after about 2pm otherwise it keeps me awake all night.
