    how many cups do you drink daily? be it instant,freshly ground,mocha etc etc etc??
    take sugar?
    ever try quit ? i stopped last week,cold turkey cut off... my usual daily amount would be a minimum 4 strong cups,with two sugars in each..except mocha's..no sugar required.

    three days of headaches and general unwell feeling followed..kinda shocked me to be honest.

    how do you fare?

    At least 5-6 cups of coffee a day, no sugar. Used to drink more when I smoked.
    Don't think I could live without coffee.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,224 ✭✭✭barone


    i love it still, milk or black.. just amazed the effect it had on me


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,373 ✭✭✭tonycascarino


    how about the none option, it's rotten


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,249 ✭✭✭Scioch


    Used to drink 5-6 cups a day with two sugars, quite for a long time and now I drink maybe 3-4 cups a week if even that.

    Somedays just one or somedays maybe three.
    Never with sugar.

    I find I drink more at work, just to give me an excuse to get away from the desk every now and then.

    that would be the not voting option


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,640 ✭✭✭Pushtrak


    This poll lacks two options, none and Atari Jaguar. I'd be on none. But certainly get plenty of caffeine per day.

    You just can't bate a nice cup of tae.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81 ✭✭crfcaio


    I drink coffee and milk, pure coffee is just terrible.

    Two to four a day, I guess, so it'd be 1 to 1 and a half glasses of coffee.

    lol

    There's nothing like a nice cup of tea with a nice cup of tea.


  • Posts: 5,009 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Rarely drink coffee now, used to be 5 cups a day, started to get a really sore tummy any time I went near the stuff. Went off it for about five years, now I can drink it once a week or so but not more often, or my stomach hurts. Odd.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,781 ✭✭✭clappyhappy


    Used to drink 8-10 mugs a day and if out a few double espresso's with a meal. Now just drink two mugs a day, one for breakfast, one for lunch. Always black no sugar, don't see any difference though in reduction. When I worked as a chef in busy restaurant we used to be high from double espresso's throughout the day.

    Cup of coffee and a fag has been my breakfast everyday for a long time now. Breakfast of champions :pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,009 ✭✭✭✭Run_to_da_hills


    Total coffee snob here, won't touch cheap blends. It wasn't too long ago when you could only get instant coffee served in pubs also McDonalds use to let their coffee stew on a hob.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,842 ✭✭✭seanbmc


    Love a good strong coffee with no milk or sugar.

    Would have about 2-3 cups a day.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,547 ✭✭✭Agricola


    1 cappucino a day, 2/3 cups of tea

    Nothing worse than when you go to someone's house and they get out the Kenco or Nescafe gold blend. Horrible stuff.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 750 ✭✭✭Mr.Biscuits


    Like a nice Dunkachino me.

    I used to only have quality blends from the gaggia but now I'm a nespresso convert,its just so convenient..Depending on my work schedule I could have anything from 4-6 espressos a day


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,547 ✭✭✭Agricola



    Wow, never saw that film. For the first 50 seconds, I actually thought that was a real ad... :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,824 ✭✭✭FanadMan


    Anything from 5 to 10 mugs a day. Black, no sugar and really strong. Maybe this is why I have trouble sleeping :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,933 ✭✭✭Logical Fallacy


    I never like coffee. It smells lovely, the taste never really got me though.

    Or worse again when the same people pull out a box of some extra "value blend" tea. :eek:

    There are a lot of different tasting coffees. I never liked the stuff until I went backpacking and tried proper coffee.

    I have one cup of coffee in the morning. If I'm travelling any long distances I'll have a cup for sipping on during the journey.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,224 ✭✭✭barone


    was convinced it was the reason i wasnt sleeping well, so i wouldnt have any after 6pm,or tea..but that didnt work,so stopped altogether.

    sleeping much better and when im tired i fall asleep easily,which wasnt the case before


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,846 ✭✭✭Fromthetrees


    No coffee, just sugar sugar sugar, tea, chocolate, tins of pop, jellies, anything with sugar, hmm sugar, I like sugar.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,048 ✭✭✭✭Snowie

    Yeah, I tried all different sorts. A mate of mine who is big into his coffee was given me all kinds of random stuff to try. This is the same chap who tried to get me to like beer (I just don't like it), once again trying all different kinds of beers.

    Just never clicked with me.
