Topic: What's Your Daily Coffee Intake?

[Plastique]

Let's say a cup is 250 ml (8 oz), and we're talking about a moderate strength brew, say two shots of espresso, or a couple teaspoons of instant coffee.

two before 0600 and two somewhere during the day, on average.  The very first is a bulletproof brew (grassfed butter and coconut oil, frothed)  Sometimes the fourth one is co-oincidental with a shot of single malt.

Always a double shot flat white (doppio con leche) in a tulip cup if its at one of my haunts.

[Moloch]

1-3 cups a day. Sometimes none, rarely more than 3.

1 - 2, never after noon.  Coffee only keeps me awake when I'm trying to sleep.

If you count a single can of diet red mountain dew as the equivalent of a cup of coffee, then before I left the US, I drank well over 10 a day.

Yeah, that counts for the caffeine, for sure. Unless Mountain Dew is higher in caffeine than other drinks, that'd be the equivalent of about 5 coffees by my calculations.

I'll have a cup first thing in the morning, and then one around mid-afternoon. When I'm working graveyard shift, I'll up that by a cup, having one at the beginning of the shift, one around 3 a.m., and another when I wake up in the afternoon. I usually only work a couple of days a week (if you can even call what I do "work"), but this week will be doing five graves in a row.

Zero.

But I get my caffeine from a soda and a couple cups of tea per day.

[seaotter]

1 cup every morning. I seem to have a little sensitivity to caffeine. I can do two cups but I'll be jacked up, and three you will be pulling me off the ceiling. It is great for late drinking nights though, cause cup of coffee with baileys and we ain't going to bed till three.

A shower is my coffee.  I am not awake till I take one.

Rumour has it that Mountain Dew has the highest caffeine content of the popular soft drinks, save for Jolt, which I do not think is on the market any more.

Even on the weekend? This is true for me on work days, but during the summer coffee.

Yes.  I equate a shower with being fully awake.

Well, thanks for that image, David E. 

As for the poll, I never learned to drink coffee.  Coke Zero is my caffeine delivery system of choice.  One can in the morning, as soon as I get to work, or as soon as I get up on weekends.  I'm a sensitive flower like seaotter, so a second portion is asking for sleep disruption.  Though on special occasions, like yesterday's eight-hour drive (punctuated by a two-hour lunch with a friend), I had the morning can, a fountain drink at lunch, and another one for the road.
