Question

Ermm...

Ok...

Well, I know it's possible to get addicted to the caffeine in coffee, but how much do you have to drink before this happens? E.g. one cup every day etc.

And if you drink a cup of coffee and you get a huge energy boost, does that mean you have a fast or slow metabolism??

Oh, and which type of coffee do you like best and why? E.g. cappuccino, latte etc...

Ta.

Answer 1

I&#039;m not sure what the threshhold is, but it probably depends on your size/build.  I am small (160 cm tall), drank coffee from age 5 and quit recently.  I used to drink 3 mugs a day (about 750 ml, brewed stuff), and that was enough to give me withdrawal symptoms on stopping.  In fact, when I forgot to finish my morning coffee (like, drank only half), I would get headaches within 2 hours.

My favorite was cappuccino.  Because I *must* have milk in it, and the chocolate just made it better.  If no cappuccino, I go for latte (or &quot;melange&quot; . I made a waiter in Austria cringe by asking for melange.  &quot;That&#039;s not coffee&quot;, he sniffed).

Answer 2

Answer 4

It depends on the person. Some people get addicted very quickly.

And yes, caffeine speeds up your metabolism rate.

Answer 5

you don&#039;t have to drink that much to crave it. I work in a cafe and can&#039;t get away from the stuff. I drink 1-2 cups a day out of habit, but don&#039;t drink it much outside of work. I have customers who come in every day, between 1-3 times.

Metabolism doesn&#039;t have as much to do with effects of coffee as your tolerance. The more often you drink it, the less it affects you in small amounts.

I like flat whites best, but only if they are well made. they have to be warm, not hot, and have a nice crema on top. They are more creamy and better to drink than the rest.
