How much coffee do you drink a day?

I absolutely adore the stuff. Nothing Comes close to my first coffee of the day. I try not to have to much and usually stick to one filtered coffee and one cold coffee per day.

I will have one really nice espresso first thing in the morning, then maybe 3 cups of good quality instant during the morning. I don't drink any in the afternoon. I looooove my coffee...

RhinoGirl · 15/03/2018 08:20

Far too much. I’m on my second of the day and I got up at 7.30am

Bubblebug1 · 15/03/2018 08:21

I drink it all day as often as I can. At least 4 cups a day as I have one when I do the babies bottles, and usually 2 more than that. I used to have 1 cup a day which I really savoured mid morning, but have got back into bad habits. I'm not too bothered but it does stain my teeth and I have to get a scale and polish every year as a result.

I have one Moka pot coffee in the morning which I enjoy making and love drinking. I hate missing it. After that I don't drink anymore coffee but do have tea, maybe 2 cups a day.

I don't drink instant coffee at all, even the expensive stuff tastes wrong to me. The Moka pot is best AFAIC.

Between 3-6 cups a day I'd say

MrsJayy · 15/03/2018 08:23

When I smoked i drank about 8/9 cups a day since I stopped it is average 3 .

SingaSong12 · 15/03/2018 08:25

None - I love the aroma of proper fresh coffee, but I don't like the taste at all.

lalaloopyhead · 15/03/2018 08:25

I have a cup of instant when I get up, 2 filters in the morning at work and then usually a nespresso one while I'm in the kitchen cooking/tidying then I get home from work. Oh, and I've taken to having an iced coffee with my lunch sometimes.

So maybe a bit too much!

Moominfan · 15/03/2018 09:23

Glad I'm not the only one! Could probably do with cutting it out for a few days but it's one of my pleasures in life

Trying to cut down from 4 to 2 at present!

Viviennemary · 16/03/2018 18:27

I try and restrict it to one cup a day and mostly drink tea now.

halfwitpicker · 16/03/2018 18:32

Gawd far too much.

A large filter coffee at home, then a large at work (from a cafe, so it's strong) then either 1/2 a cafetiere or another small-ish one from a cafe.

happymummy12345 · 16/03/2018 18:33

None at all because I can't stand the awful stuff.

nocutsnobuttsnococonuts · 16/03/2018 18:48

I don't drink coffee anymore as it doesn't agree with me 😣 but I drink about 10-15 cups of green tea a day!

Rachyhayes · 16/03/2018 18:50

DH used to drink a cup every hour or so and ended up having a caffeine overdose he switched to decaf after that.

I drink too much tea some nights I can't sleep cause I've had to much caffeine. Need to find another drink

Ironfloor · 16/03/2018 18:53

About two. I brew 2 1/2 tablespoons of ground coffee and 1 1/2 hit water in a cafetière, Then make 2 mugfuls of coffee (with milk and sugar) and savour it throughout the day, maybe till mid afternoon.

JudasPriestley · 16/03/2018 18:58

Pints and pints. I've basically always got a coffee on the go. I know this isn't good but can't seem to quit. Giving up fags was a walk in the park in comparison.

thenewaveragebear1983 · 16/03/2018 19:01

Far too much! I need to cut down, I usually have 4 if I’m at hone, but will also have one out as well if I’m with friends or shopping etc.

I’d like to cut down to 2 a day and start drinking tea/green tea instead. I think it will be hard though, I’m a proper addict

DramaAlpaca · 16/03/2018 19:04

I much prefer tea. I probably have a coffee once a week at the most.

Moominfan · 16/03/2018 19:10

I didn't know caffeine overdose is a thing :/

Im trying to cut down to two large mugs of cafetiere coffee a day, but i think ive had 4 today.

I need my morning coffee, but if i drink too much it makes my anxiety worse

thenewaveragebear1983 · 16/03/2018 19:26

I know I’ve had too much when I’m trying to get to sleep at night and can feel my pulse in my throat. Horrible! I can’t really drink tea though, since pregnancy, even one cup, and even decaf has me up all night.

BlueEyedBengal · 16/03/2018 19:31

I have6 kids 4 of them boys age 10 to 5 so I'm powered on coffee and I have 3 different coffee machines apart from the kettle and also 3 different American stove top pots. I stock a full range of coffee to go with them and if I can't be bothered I have the instant stuff on standby. Brew

Rachyhayes · 16/03/2018 19:38

Yeah it's a thing. I've known it to happen with redbull also a friends brother was drinking litres and ended up in hospital

ariettyspaghetti · 16/03/2018 19:41
