I've been on a steady 2 per day diet. If I'm at work, one in the morning, one after lunch. If I'm at home, two as soon as I wake up.

^^potentially not true at all, sry^^ (Z S), Monday, 15 February 2010 19:58 (fifteen years ago)

two in the morning and hopefully about two more throughout the day

sonderangerbot, Monday, 15 February 2010 19:58 (fifteen years ago)

would be interesting to compare the results of this poll to a "how many daily occurrences of fecal urgency?" poll

^^potentially not true at all, sry^^ (Z S), Monday, 15 February 2010 20:00 (fifteen years ago)

2 - one with caffeine in the morning, one decaf in the afternoon.

might seem normal (snoball), Monday, 15 February 2010 20:00 (fifteen years ago)

i am always confused about this, they say one cup of coffee is 6 oz. i drink one cup of coffee per day but it's like 18 oz.

this is awful I want Togo home (harbl), Monday, 15 February 2010 20:01 (fifteen years ago)

are we talking "cup," as in receptacle of choice (within reason obv) or "cup," the unit of measurement?

I have one of those lightweight metal travel-mug things & I fill it 2-3 times a day on avg.

Bangkok Serious starring Yahoo Dangerous (Pillbox), Monday, 15 February 2010 20:02 (fifteen years ago)

cup measurement is fairly tiny iirc, I just meant receptacle of choice

dnw (cozen), Monday, 15 February 2010 20:04 (fifteen years ago)

voted 3 but am with most peeps in that i am counting how many times i would fill up my cup which is likely more like 8-10 oz. ahh caw-fee.

"one more cup of coffee before i go" - how much do you drink per day in average?

minimum one, generally two-three

I'm switching back to yerba mate this week (I find the stimulant factor to be cleaner & less jittery, plus supposedly it is healthier?). I usually come back around to the coffee, tho, for the taste mostly.

FIST FIGHT! FIST FIGHT! FIST FIGHT IN THE PARKING LOT! (milo z), Monday, 15 February 2010 20:49 (fifteen years ago)

did cut down from 3 to 2, the final aim is 1 - in the morning, which is the one i cant give up on.

Zeno, Monday, 15 February 2010 20:51 (fifteen years ago)

i wouldn't want to give up coffee. but i drink it once in the morning and that's it. it helps that i feel sick if i have any more than that and can't sleep if i drink it in the late afternoon.

this is awful I want Togo home (harbl), Monday, 15 February 2010 20:54 (fifteen years ago)

used to be none, but it's free at my new job, so now it's three. terrible stuff.

caek, Monday, 15 February 2010 20:56 (fifteen years ago)

one in the morning without which i cannot function

usually one in the afternoon, depends what kind/how much work i have to do

sometimes another one later if i'm flagging or heading out for the night

لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Monday, 15 February 2010 21:04 (fifteen years ago)

2 in the morning, high-octane, large-ish mug, about 30 oz. total

blow it out your bad-taste hole (WmC), Monday, 15 February 2010 21:17 (fifteen years ago)

i don't know why certain people i know think it's like cool to brag about how much coffee they drink a day. it's like, ok . . . ? anyway, coffee makes me jittery and it's a waste of money when i can have tea at my desk anytime. i only have 1 cup a day unless we make it at home in which case i have like 10 cups cuz it's there and it's hot.

coffee in the morning, tea in the afternoon. i drink one coffee in the morning maybe another depending. i would never be able to drink 4 cups in a day, i would find it difficult to sleep.

Michael B, Monday, 15 February 2010 21:36 (fifteen years ago)

i'm pretty badass. i drink 2-3 cups a day of coffee. the man doesn't like it, but i don't care. i'm a rebel.

Mordy, Monday, 15 February 2010 21:39 (fifteen years ago)

usually somewhere between 3-5

t(o_o)t (ENBB), Monday, 15 February 2010 21:41 (fifteen years ago)

those who arent working or going to school or college drink a lot less. no?

Michael B, Monday, 15 February 2010 21:47 (fifteen years ago)

just from working 9-5 this definitely was the case. it would have probably been 3 on average.

Michael B, Monday, 15 February 2010 21:48 (fifteen years ago)

2-3 cups of tea, but generally just the one coffee - mid-afternoon when we're all flagging a bit and someone busts out the departmental cafetiere. We actually have a coffee club in our office - everyone chips in to buy fancy, exotic blends and then certain colleagues sit around for a few minutes discussing the sweetness of the Sudanese we had last week or whatever, blah blah blah. Having someone give me a hot drink at my desk is a tiny sprinkle of good cheer in the miserable slog of my workday, so I'm not really that fussy about the taste.

Michael Jones, Monday, 15 February 2010 21:49 (fifteen years ago)

~11-14 weekdays

nakhchivan, Monday, 15 February 2010 22:19 (fifteen years ago)

I'm gonna say 4, which is probably understating things but lots of cups I don't actually finish, before they get cold and get tossed out.

if you ever encounter a good barista, a properly made cappucino/latte will really blow your mind - but they're hard to find.

dyao, Tuesday, 16 February 2010 05:40 (fifteen years ago)

Hmm, I have 1 in the morning, sometimes 2. (Usually, it's one tea and one coffee)

In the evening, two easy.

So that leaves having 3 at work (at least) to put me into the top bracket.

Yup.

Mark G, Tuesday, 16 February 2010 09:21 (fifteen years ago)

I gave up sugar in coffee about 10 years ago, and gave up milk in it (apart from sometimes, i.e. latte when out and about, or milk in Nescafe standard stuff cuz that stuff is BAD otherwise)...

Mark G, Tuesday, 16 February 2010 09:22 (fifteen years ago)

hate -> tolerate -> like -> love -> most important bodily fluid after blood

Never had this with coffee - didn't really with beer either tbh, first time I tried a sip of my dad's pint when I was about 7 I thought it was a bit weird, but I use to drink shandy so I was already kind of familiar with it.

I'm reading this thread with a certain sense of loss. Gave up coffee a few months ago and switched to tea for my caffeination needs because it wasn't doing my stomach any good.

I don't ever drink milk on its own so I don't really know how skim tastes in comparison to whole but in coffee I think it's great. Most of my friends drink their coffee extra extra (light sweet) which is basically just coffee flavored sugar cream. It hardly tastes of coffee at all. These days I drink mine with just a splash of skim milk or black and no sugar. If I get a flavored coffee I'll ask for extra skim and sweetener because that's more a dessert type thing than coffee imo.
