    Hey all,

    I've been wondering whats the average amount of coffee people drink a day?, Personally I would have around 3 cups at least a day. I've been curious how people manage to have 6 or so plus a day and still sleep at night.

    How many cups a day? 100 votes

    I drink about 5-6 a day and sleep like a baby.

    I have 2 before 9.30, another around 11, another after lunch, another around now, and one or two at home in the evening.

    hmm don't really drink coffee, but when i'm in college i'd have about 2 cups of tea a day.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 307 ✭✭Idgeitman


    I actually hate waking up and not having a cup first thing in the morning. I take strong tablets for hayfever every day that makes me tired as hell so the coffee balances it out nicely ;)

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,382 ✭✭✭petes


    Two to four. Sometimes more, sometimes less.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,240 ✭✭✭Endurance Man


    Why is there not a "none" option? I dont drink coffee, vile stuff.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,367 ✭✭✭✭Sleepy


    Maybe two cups of coffee a week tbh. It's an after-dinner thing for me...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 36,634 ✭✭✭✭Ruu_Old


    None, a tea drinker. *screech of tires*:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,506 ✭✭✭muletide

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,145 ✭✭✭DonkeyStyle \o/

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,208 ✭✭✭✭aidan_walsh


    2 good, strong cups a day.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,230 ✭✭✭scojones


    Some days I could have 8, then I could go three months without a cup, it really depends.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 365 ✭✭dogg_r_69


    None at all Can't stand the stuff


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,082 ✭✭✭Tobias Greeshman


    Some days maybe 2 cups, but for the most part I'm a tea drinker, which is much better off for you IMO.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,930 ✭✭✭✭TerrorFirmer


    Don't drink coffee, just a single solitary cup of tea for me at midday, monday to friday.

    It's just not the same inviting someone to "grab a tea" though, is it? :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 123 ✭✭Nina_Angelica


    usually 1 and a half cups in the morning, and sometimes 1 in the evening.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,496 ✭✭✭*Angel*


    Depends really, I mostly drink coffee when i'm in the house, probably about 3 now, I tried to cut it down, but I love coffee and none of that cappucino crap!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,561 ✭✭✭Rhyme


    Tea > Coffee


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,033 ✭✭✭DoctorEdgeWild

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,496 ✭✭✭Mr. Presentable

    Probably *too* much.
    But we drink so much dr.Peppers and Coke / pepsi that each of us probably has an overall caffeine intake of about 12 cups of coffee. :D

    Since I gave up drinking soda, I drink at least 6 cups of coffee a day.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,838 ✭✭✭Doomspell


    Well I'm not really into coffee. It really depends, if it's in the morning and I'm completely nakered I'd have one but I'm more of a tea person. I could easily drink 7-10 mugs of tea a day!

    Word!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,730 ✭✭✭✭simu


    None. I will add my voice to the tea ftw side.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,248 ✭✭✭4Xcut


    Once touched 12 espressos in one day. Still did't perk up for that evening exam. Had to give up goffee as it got the point where i wasn't getting from less than a super strenght latte(sp?) from Café Sól(i.e. 6 shots of espresso)

    Jesus i had some headaches for a few days when i gave up

    Long story short: i miss coffee


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,756 ✭✭✭vector


    I have about 6 cups of tea every day. Each up is 75% tea, 25% milk, nil sugar (and thats important, otherwise I'd overdose on sugar)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,898 ✭✭✭✭Nalz


    Wheres the option to drink none?

    yeah, used to manage the odd laite, but tbh dont like the stuff. strong tea with one sugar and a rich tea/caramel choc digestive for me


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,598 ✭✭✭cashback


    On an average day I'd probably have two coffees and two cups of tea.
    Why does it have to be one or the other?
    Can't we all just get along?!

    I heard or read somewhere that there is more caffeine in tea than coffee, and tbh I really dont get how tea could be better for you, caffeine aside, what's in coffee that makes it bad for you?I drink about 10 mugs a day on average and have never had any ill affects. I must admit though that all the coffee I drink is instant unless I buy one somewhere. Even though we have a coffee machine at home I have never been able to make a decent brew.:(
    I've just checked and my tea V coffee caffeine content comment is an out and out lie,whoever said it.
    ahem...

    It's not just the number of java cups per day, but also the strength of the brew that matters too. I normally drink 2 per day, but they are at a coffeehouse, and if I slip and drink 3, you'll find me on the ceiling like the vampire in the Underworld film.:eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,397 ✭✭✭✭azezil


    Don't really drink coffee any more, used to love it... a bit too much!
    I do however have between 6 - 10 cups of tea a day!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,089 ✭✭✭fuzzywiggle


    None! No tea either!!
