    I have started drinking coffee more lately but don't want to get in the habit of it. Hate the thought of needing it to get up in the morning, rather not have that crutch :P

    Have at least one cup of tea a day though :) but I can easily go without

    2 cups a day, with 1 spoon of sugar. Have 1 in mornin before work, and then one during morning just for a break away from desk. Canteen is 5 floors down, so can easily kill 10/15 mins getting that 2nd coffee!

    Had a week off there a while ago and didn't drink coffee once during that..so not one of those that needs a fix of it. Its just habit, work = coffee!

    Cups :confused: I drink 5+ Mugs of black coffee a day (no sugar) and the Franch Press I use is supposed to make 3 cups. In that case 3 cups equals one mug so I must drink over 15 cups of coffee a day...........









    ........... and sleep like a log :cool:

    Sometimes I have none, sometimes 3.
    Depends how I feel.
    It's weird - coffee effects me in the opposite way if effects others - it relaxes me - makes me feel almost stoned for a few minutes.

    I have 20 cups a day with no sugar. Sugar is for amateurs.

    Coffee has ruined my life. I lost my job, my home, even my wife due to my addiction to coffee. I now roam the streets in search of my next fix. I'm in the internet cafe now, but really I'm just in it for the free cup of coffee. I owe 70,000 Euro to various coffee dealers throughout Ireland. I know I need to stop, but I can't. Everyday my mind is plagued with thoughts of drinking coffee. One low point in my life was when I robbed a house and stole all there coffee.

    10 cups of tea a day and 4 cups of coffee. That is a lot of caffeine. I have gone cold turkey for the past 5 days though. Going to quit for a month, just to see what happens.

    2 black double espressos and 3 cigarettes before I leave the house every day, after that maybe 4 more cups of brewed with milk. I quit for 10 days last month when I was doing a detox and got severe headaches and fatigue for the first two days.

    It's possible to have fun without coffee. What is it about Irish people and coffee. I went all weekend without coffee and you could have guided in a plane to Dublin airport with the efulgence of my halo this morning.

    Etc

    Etc

    Etc.

    Zzzz

    Usually just a large mug, either in the morning or if Im rising late then after I eat lunch. There's nothing like it to kick start the day.
    Its not a crutch at all. Im terrible most mornings. Coffee takes the irritable/horrifying edge off of regaining consciousness.

    Travel mug in the morning, and smallish flask. So probably about 3 - 5 cups.

    Black and no sugar!

    3 or 4 cups a day in work. I never drink it at home since I don't have a coffee maker and instant tastes so watery to me.

    I drink 3-5 a day. Freshly ground coffee in the morning, black no sugar. Only instant available in work unfortunately so I often make trips to The coffee shop

    3 or 4 mugs a day since I was 16. I like both ground and instant (are you supposed to admit that? :P), usually instant for when I'm feeling too lazy to clean out the cafethiere... I don't feel super-alert after drinking it - sometimes I even feel tired after a large mug! I have noticed that if I don't have a coffee in the morning, I find it harder to focus in early lectures or in the library.

    I don't think I'm addicted though, I just really like the taste of coffee!

    I thought I liked coffee til I got a coffee press. Sumatran Java.. oh dear lord, so so good. Strength 5 so is actually addictive but gives me such a buzz that I only drink it on Fri & sat or else I can't sleep and am knackered for work. Can't drink instant anymore - it's piss.

    I go through phases of having coffee regularly, 2+ cups a day, everyday - to none at all for weeks or months. Never notice any withdrawal symptoms, occasionally get the jitters if I drink way too much.

    Probably don't drink a lot because I'm quite picky, instant is just rubbish, percolator - meh. Proper espresso coffee maker is ideal or a moka pot works well too as a second choice.

    Tea? Well that's just mank.:P

    At least 12 cups per day. Makes it hard to get asleep though. Sometimes it takes me 20 seconds to drop off.

    I work as a barista,
    In the morning I have a latte with two shots of espresso, about 11am
    I have another with one shot and just after lunch I have another single shot latte, we do the best coffee in our city so on my rare days off I drive to work for my coffee,
    I can't have coffee anywhere else because I see what they are doing wrong and just wanna go behind the counter and make the coffee myself.

    I never thought I would be a what I would regard as a 'coffee snob' until I learned about my current job.

    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?

    About 5 cups of strong black coffee a day, none of that fancy mocha or latte stuff for me.
