How many cups of coffee do you drink first thing in the morning ?

[Dave himself]

Hi everyone like the title says. Personally I used to drink two cups first thing, but it was giving me the jitters. So now I'm down to one then a cup of decaff tea.

Then about an hour later. If I'm in town, I'll have a caramel latte.

So how much coffee for you folks in the morning ?.

I drink iced coffee or iced tea all day long at work in a 30 oz. tumbler- black and unsweetened- and then switch to water. I usually swap it up each day. So, in the morning (like right now) is a 12oz. mug of coffee just to get moving. That's it. I usually have another cup at lunch and then another cup of decaf in the evening. I'm trying to cut down on my caffeine so most of this is a "half caff" mix. Even the iced tea, and I hate the decaf tea I can get locally.

But, for the actual morning- just the one mug.

One fairly large one in the morning, and then no caffeine after that.

One coffee every morning. If I need a boost I may have another in the afternoon but two a day is about my limit.

 

[JimmyJoeMeeker]

Currently one moderate-to-high-caffeine cold brew. One of the many things I like about cold brew is that I don't have to wait for it in the morning. It's a drug, I'm addicted.

I then have another a few hours later. For sleep's sake, that's usually it for the day.

I start my day 04:00 with Nes coffee clasic, 3 coffee spoons and water, no milk no sugar
Then around 10:00 i drink double espresso, same, no milk no sugar
Evening time it's mint or some fruit tea

2 or 3 cups (14 ounce cups) in the morning.
Sometimes in the afternoon or evening, but always in the morning.
Usually Starbucks Sumatra from a Keurig, but the Mrs. will sometimes get on a French Roast kick, which I can tolerate for a bit.

At our studio in Franklin, TN the guys would usually arrive around 9 am for a session. They would drink coffee until noon or so then switch to beer, ha. We had a fully stocked kitchen there at all times.

2 double espresso or about 250ml if it‘s French press. Then 1 espresso after lunch together with some 85 or 100% cocoa chocolate. Yummy…

My "morning" starts at 2022 hours, and it's about three cups, black.

 

[DalShaver]

I have a large French press, and I get two large mugs out of it. First one wakes me up, the second makes me civil (or at least passingly civil). The rest of the day is tea and water.

 

[Dave himself]

Should have mentioned the coffee I drink is Taylors Lazy Sunday I have one large Mug. Its a three on the strength scale. Or if I can't get Taylors, I end up with French or Italian roast.

Coffee is my weakness. I start the day with at least 2 large cups. And then throughout the day. If I’m at work I abuse the cappuccino machine.

I have been through several different routines, all trying to control the hit from the caffeine. The oldest one, when I was still running was to start out with tea first and it turns out I have kind of gone full circle! The thing is, if you hydrate first thing in the morning and drink regular coffee, it’s kind of a waste due to the diuretic effect. Also, caffeine on an empty stomach absorbs too quickly. Further, our behavior is controlled by drug dependence more than we want to admit, that have to have my first cup before I am human syndrome. Coffee is undoubtedly healthy, but caffeine is a drug and I think people should examine their habits often and ask themselves difficult questions. I personally would recommend drinking water or tea first and packing your coffee in a thermos and drinking as much as you want after you are peeing normally. The only downside is that you won’t drink as much coffee as you did previously, almost guaranteed!

At work, at least 3 cups in the morning before 11 (I can't stomach it between 11-3), and maybe a K-cup in the afternoon if I'm dragging. Black coffee always in the morning, maybe cream and sugar in the afternoon. Weekends it's 2-3 cups unless I'm driving any distance (2-3 hours), then it's maybe a half cup or a cup to take, otherwise I run the risk of hitting traffic... I'm not sensitive, I can drink it before bedtime and still sleep like a baby.

3 mugs w milk and sweetener. No coffee after noon if I want to get some sleep.

 

[Darth Scandalous]

3 or 4 before I even leave the house. 2 or 3 at work, but usually none after lunch. Definitely not after 3pm or I won't get to sleep.

 

[JimmyJoeMeeker]

They would drink coffee until noon or so then switch to beer, ha.

The legal speedball.

 

[mikhou]

I have a cup in the morning, usually another mid-morning, and usually another mid-afternoon. But to answer the question - one in the morning.

 

[JimmyJoeMeeker]

3 or 4 before I even leave the house. 2 or 3 at work, but usually none after lunch. Definitely not after 3pm or I won't get to sleep.

I'd need a Foley catheter with a 30-foot tube to get anything done.
