How much coffee do you consume?

Question

I am consuming about 3 cups every morning now. Is that healthy or should I cut it out? How much coffee do you guys drink?

Answer 1

I only have 1 cup in the mornings. Any more than that and I get very jittery and anxious.

I would cut down a bit, if possible.  What do you put in your coffee?

Answer 2

Some days one 12 ounce cup.  Some days two 12 ounce cups.

Answer 3

I have not drunk any coffee for years. If I drink it, I have insomnia.

Answer 4

I do prefer milk and sugar, so I average about 3 cups in a week. Any more than that and I have trouble sleeping and I begin to get stomach aches.

Answer 5

I'm like u.  I probably drink about 3 cups per day.  I also use creamer but use sweet-n-low.

Answer 6

12 cup pot ,3 to 4 a day.

Answer 8

none

Answer 9

I just quit coffee a month ago and feel tons better. I wont drink anything caffeinated or alcohol. Takes away my edge.

Answer 10

It is reported that Voltaire (French author and philosopher) drank up to 50 cups a day, and he accomplished genius-level work.

Just be sure you are drinking plenty of water, as caffeine is a diuretic and if it's all you are drinking you may get dehydrated.

Otherwise, unless you don't feel well, don't worry about it.

Answer 11

three cups is probably too much, I would cut it down to one.  Or one cup in the morning and one cup in the afternoon, if you are use to drinking in the afternoon.

I agree with the person that says that the studies are confusing.  It's hard to know now in days what is good one.

Answer 12

I'm @ 2 cups a day...

what is the span of time that you drink it over?

there are always studies out disagreeing with eachother.. one day coffee is good for you the next it is not.. so who knows really!

Answer 13

It depends on the day of the week--if it's a weekday, then I bring a travel mug full to work with me (it's about the equivalent of 2.5-3 cups) but on the weekend it's 2 cups, with non-fat flavored creamer and 1 Splenda.
