Two - one in the morning and one after lunch.

simbobs · 11/01/2023 11:05

One double shot coffee in the morning and either a single shot or tea in the afternoon. I don't drink instant so mine is probably a bit stronger.

WandaWonder · 11/01/2023 11:07

2, but somedays 1, maybe once or twice a year 3

EspeciallyDetermined · 11/01/2023 11:07

About 2 a week, nearly always decaff

LoveMyPiano · 11/01/2023 11:08

Would lattes cause weight gain? Or inability to lose weight while having two (pls....) per day.

ouch321 · 11/01/2023 11:09

None. Horrid stuff

SalviaOfficinalis · 11/01/2023 11:10

Usually 2, sometimes 3.
Coffee machine at home.. stronger than instant.

Chemenger · 11/01/2023 11:11

One Nesspresso half-caff in the morning then usually no more. I started this regime to deal with horrendous menopausal insomnia but now I'm over that I can cope with the odd coffee later in the day. Back in my 40's I could drink coffee all day with no ill effects, and did.

StarDolphins · 11/01/2023 11:14

I have 4 heaped teaspoons of coffee & 3 sugars, once a day in the morning!

Forgot to say, no sugar and usually semi-skimmed milk.
But I am concerned that the size of them means that I am somehow intaking sugar from the milk (lactose?)..... and I always have a Costa or similar Large size.

@LoveMyPiano 2 large lattes is about 400 calories, so yes.

eatdrinkandbemerry · 11/01/2023 11:35

At least 12 but I do have none sleeping autistic kids so sometimes I need to be awake and alert

VikingLady · 11/01/2023 11:39

Tons. Absolutely tons. But it's associated with lowering the risk of Alzheimer's which we have in the family, so.... and it's good for your liver. And it stops me killing people. So I think it's fine.

SunshineLoving · 11/01/2023 11:52

I love coffee. I have 2 at work as don't have time for more. And I have 2 or 3 at home, sometimes 4, but I try not to have more than 3.

These are are all usually in the morning but I occasionally have an afternoon one.

C1N1C · 11/01/2023 11:52

Gimme a min, socks coming off... ran out of fingers!

ErrolTheDragon · 11/01/2023 12:08

A big mug of fresh ground coffee with milk mid morning. Tea before and after, switching to decaf after about 6pm.

OldTinHat · 11/01/2023 12:19

I'll maybe have one black coffee a year.

spinningpenguin · 11/01/2023 12:24

Usually 2, sometimes 3 but never after 15-16h (unless at the end of the meal in the restaurant).

Hmmm - I do wonder also if it does more harm than good in other ways too.
Affects insulin levels apparently.

I can "afford" the calories I guess, due to very low calorie "diet", but cannot lose weight no matter what I do. Also, I guess due to the milk content, it makes me feel full (fat even, around my lower middle) and I eat even less.

And still don't lose weight.

WhatAmIDoingWrong123 · 11/01/2023 18:21
  1. 2 with breakfast and 1 after lunch.

I thought I’d really miss it when I was pregnant so I went on the decaf for a while, but I lost my taste for coffee altogether for the whole pregnancy. It didn’t take long for it to come back after she was born 😆

Spanielsarepainless · 11/01/2023 18:31

One after breakfast. Occasionally one at elevenses.

Dogsgottabone · 14/01/2023 18:33

3 or 4 decaffs a day, made in an espresso machine at home or aeropress at work with very good coffee so very strong.

Bloody love coffee. I budget a pint of milk a day for my calorie couting.

TheNewlmprovedMrsMadEvans · 14/01/2023 18:34

2 to 3 but Decaff

ProserpinaProserpina · 14/01/2023 18:35

At least 2, often 4 or 5.

holierthanthou73 · 14/01/2023 18:36

About 10 decaf
