How many cups of tea/coffee do you think per day.

😉I think of many, usually drink only 2, seldom 3

thomil

Usually just 2-3, mostly at work. That depends on the amount of sleep I've gotten the night before though. The coffee intake rises rapidly in direct correlation to the lack of sleep...

thefallingman

gave up coffee six months ago so now the odd green tea or barrys instead, i was a 5 coffee a day man for years and years

Mister Vain

Usually 1 or 2 coffees a day.

theteal

When in the office, maybe two. I WFH more though so went with 4-5 cups of lovely tae. I used to never drink the stuff but the wife slowly turned me. . .

furiousox

2 espressos in the morning, an americano at lunchtime and another espresso in the evening.

Greyfox

Between 6 -8 cups a day.

My day starts and ends with a cup of tea. When I get to work and home from work first thing I do is make team. Lunch break, first 15 and last 15 min breaks need tea otherwise they don't feel like a break. The extra 2 would be for when watching TV.

I'm just lucky that tea is the only addictive substance that's not bad for you, tea is amazing

Gregor Samsa

2-4 mugs of tea a day. Strong, with a little full-fat milk. Lyons Gold Blend is what I buy by default, but I'm actually not picky about the brand.

Have only ever drunk coffee 4 times in my whole life. Not a fan.

Galwayguy35

Usually 4 cups of tea and 1 coffee per day.

sporina

1 at b'fast, lunch, late avo, and after dinner.. Tae.. Barry's Gold Blend for the 1st 3.. Rooibos after dinner..

I LOVE TEA

Sgt Hartman

One in the morning before I leave for work and one on my morning break at 10.30am. Any more than that and I would get the jitters.

Badly Drunk Boy

No coffee and no tea.

goldenmick

One cup of tea first thing in the morning - to get the old bowels moving.

Don't bother with either tea or coffee for the rest of the day. There are better things to drink if you're thirsty.

What made you give it up completely? 5 is a bit much but did you not consider reducing it to 2?

I drink 2 or 3 per day myself. Never after 3pm.

Did you notice any benefits from giving up coffee?

Donald Trump

I think, therefore I am. Tea

ballyargus

Usually 1 or perhaps 2 strong cups of coffee first thing in the morning.

Then, tea - I couldn't count how many. Probably 1 for every hour I'm awake for the rest of the day.

Just felt like an addiction to be honest, the first week or two was tough with headaches and tiredness but i wouldn't go back now, honestly i don't feel any healthier but i am happy i've done it.

A coffee in the morning and if I'm at home, a second, or if I'm at work, usually a tea. Most days I have a nap before I have the second drink.

Arghus

Don't drink coffee every single day. Could have max 1-2 when I do.

At least 3 teas everyday and I love everyone of them.

I don't know how people get by without drinking either tea or coffee tbh.

I have a double flat white in the morning and an americano (usually with milk) at 3 or 4. Sometimes might have another one after dinner, but that's rare.

our neighbours don't drink coffee or tea - handing them a glass of water if they call over is just odd (for me that is, they're obviously fine with it)

mind you, if i go to their house, i have water or a mineral - cos even if their lives depended on it, neither of them can make a decent cup of tea or coffee.

Dakota Dan

Too many.

xzanti

One strong coffee first thing in the morning and 1 or 2 cups of tea throughout the day. Depending on my mood and the biscuit selection available.

Witchie

Usually 2 coffees in the morning and then sometimes a lemon and ginger tea in the evening.

Crocodile Booze

Buckets of strong scalding tae with a drop of milk... love the stuff.

1 cup of coffee, and between 4-6 mugs of tea.

Strumms

None of either, don’t like the taste of coffee at all and my stomach isn’t a great fan, tea is quite bland I find without about 3 sugars.

Burt Renaults

A strong Nespresso before my shower, sometimes a double-shot. Then I make another to drink in the car on the way to work. Then I buy a flat white at lunch time. Maybe another one later, depending on how busy I am. When I do go at it, I do go at it awful and very hard.

And then I get up the following morning and I do go at it again. There'd be no fuckin' shtoppin' me, I'd take the shirt off any man's back.

NSAman

Two mugs of tea before work. Wash and shower and dress. Coffee on the way to work in the car, another when I arrive, then one or two more before lunch, one in the afternoon, then two mugs of tea at home..

swimming in a sea

I thought i was having 3 espressos a day but the wife tells me I make doubles, so 6 for me so looking to cut down

put_the_kettle_on

Tea; glorious, wonderful, restorative nectar that it is. I can't function, and nor do I want to, without it. At least 6 cups a day.

Sometimes it's teabags, two in a pint mug thanks with plenty of milk. Or if I'm wanting something more distinct I'll get the teapot out and see what tickles my fancy amongst the loose varieties I have.

Assam, good, strong and malty with a great caffeine hit for the morning. Ceylon maybe for a lighter, fresher taste. My favourite afternoon tea is Darjeeling, delicate and unmistakable flavour, no milk in this. Rolled leaves, not chopped, no fannings

There's so many more too but I'd be boring the arse off you ☺️

Bob Mortimer used to put 16 sugars in his tea and coffee. Any more than that and it was too sweet.

Liberty_Bear

5-6 cups of coffee a day

Mad_maxx

Three cups of tea ,one cup of coffee, get nothing out of a second coffee but love my single one ,I never have coffee for breakfast either, 11 am with a biscuit

Margaret Clarke

15 ish cups of Barry’s a day each with 2 tea bags and 5 spoons of caster sugar.

mistersifter

Tea all the way: strong, tiny bit of milk, no sugar. The black Barry's box is delish and also love that Campbells loose leaf stuff.

How many depends on the time of year. In cold weather I could have 6 cups throughout the day. Warmer days would be 2 or 3.

Not a fan of coffee thank god, seeing how so many people seem completely addicted and spend an absolute fortune on it.

sam t smith

None, have never had either.

75 spoons of caster sugar a day? 🤤

Ginger83

I don't know what a flat white is!

5-6 mugs of tae

strawdog

Wake up, tea, breakfast, work, coffee, tea, coffee, lunch, coffee, tea, home, dinner, peppermint tea, bed.

Deja Boo

Cuppa coffee in the morning, tea in afternoon - neither enough to keep me awake during the day, but apparently too much to let me sleep at night. :/

Tony EH

Tea?

Double figures.

It's Guinness now though.

babyducklings1

Three only drink tea if sick as find coffee heavy then.

Dr Karl

5 to 6 mainly tea now. About 18 months ago drank too much coffee one day and now rarely drink it.

JayPS 2288

10-11 cups of tea.

john123470

Nescafe Gold Blend .. buckets of it.

If i drink "real" coffee, can only manage a few cups - wild strong it is

Some articles tout the benefits of drinking cafe, others tell you its a poison

If its an addiction, then there are worse addictions out there.

I could manage the switch to tea but would drink same amounts

Slurp up !

megaten

A pot in the morning then another cup in the afternoon if I need it.
