Coffee Drinkers: What's your dosage?

[Zanix]

I try to limit myself to a cup a day. If I have the day off or something, I usually won't have one at all.

Sometimes on days off I'll have a few cups.

(For the poll assume that 1 cup = 6oz.)
(For my chart here, 1 cup = ~14oz.)

1x Cup = Sheds the sleep
2x Cup = Energized, usually start playing the funk, typing lots of "lmao's"
3x Cup = Plateau..
4x Cup = Dry as mofo

I've got a pretty big mug though, I think it's about 2 1/2 ~3 "regular" cups.

Foldgers Columbian Roast. Good beans there.




Edit: oops forgot to add poll

I just finished a Large cup of starbucks coffee and my heart feels like it's going to explode

 

[MX2]

1 cup a day first thing in the AM

 

[HardcoreRobot]

stresses me out and gives me anxiety so i dont drink anymore

but usually one cup is enough get the heart racing

 

[Papagayo]

2 cups every morning..

 

[Triumph]

0-1 cup a day, or maybe 5 cups a week would be more accurate. if I drink too much, too quickly, i get all wired and can't concentrate.

 

[shimsham]

1/2 pot+. my wife and i basically split the pot throughout the day.

How old are you guys posting about racing hearts?

I wonder if age has any effect on it. I'm 24 and I don't get the racing heart.


Eh... Drugs affect people differently.

I think you need to define serving sizes.

A *typical* serving size is 6 oz(cup). I typically have two 12 oz cups worth.

So I guess I have about 4 "cups" a day.

Good point.

One cup in the morning to wake up. Often one cup in the afternoon...to wake up.

 

[ggnl]

I occasionally drink a cup to keep me awake though my night classes. Lately though I've drinking diet soda instead.

 

[yoda291]

I drink coffee all day pretty much nonstop. It replaces all other beverages.

 

[Argo]

I went from 4-5 cups a day to 1-2 daily.

Congrats. (I think)


What were your reasons for cutting back?

 

[IGBT]

..I grind fresh beans every morning..3 table spoons at a medium grind for a full pot of coffee..so it's not very strong..but I drinks it ALL..and I have a Cuisinart stainless steel drip machine.

I drink when I'm in class to not fall asleep. A 16oz cup with very little skim milk. One of those for two days in the week.


Anybody's stomach hurt afterwards though? I have my cup at around 9:50AM-10:45AM. At around 11:30 my stomach is killing me I try to eat something small (usually a small snickers cruncher bar), but its not working.

Thanks,

[StageLeft]

1/day nowadays, unless I really need 2. In the past I've done 3, but it's not good for me.

 

[BW86]

I usually drink 1 or 2 a day. 1 in the morning and sometimes 1 when I get home from school.

 

[everman]

Usually a double or triple espresso in the morning (may take the form of straight, americano, or cappuccino). Or 2 cups from my press pot.
Then usually a double or triple ristretto in the afternoon.

 

[QuitBanningMe]

I don't drink it but my wife drinks a 10 cup pot/ morning.

I'll get the bad gut when I have 3-4 cups and don't eat anything.

Try for something less upsetting. Even plain water helps me. Actually, that helps me the best. With some bread or a sandwich.

 

[aircooled]

20 oz a day

 

[CraigRT]

1 or 2 a day on average. rarely over 2.
sometimes just 1.

 

[MidasKnight]

Regular coffee doesn't cut it for me anymore. Espresso at about 8x shots during the day now.
