I make what my Mr. Coffee says is 10 cups every morning. Sometimes I make a little extra around lunch time. I used to drink a lot.

Just checked out the new Black Rifle Coffee display at Cabela's and bought a bag of Blackbeard's Delight at lunch time.

Three 4 oz cups of coffee.

I was off caffeine for two years. I got caught up in the fad of getting up super early. Sometimes I would barely make it through the afternoon. At some point, I picked up caffeine again to try and keep up the super early schedule.

I've always thought a "cup" of coffee is 6 ounces.

I think some use that, but officially a cup is 8 ounces.

So... you have one real cup of coffee

A general cup of coffee is about 5 oz. I make two or three mugs a day. My mug is 15 oz. That would be 6-9 cups a day.

The only way to measure your coffee. Learn the most simple technique.

I think that it depends on what people mean. I wouldn't use those tiny styrofoam coffee cups as a measure, as those are just for portability and convenience not a measuring system. Those are more like 4-6 ounces. Small diner mugs are possibly 6-8 ounces, but again, who says a measuring system is based on diner mugs?

Most coffee shops today that are dedicated to coffee start size at a 12 ounce cup of coffee for a small or "tall" at Starbucks, unless you are getting expresso. Then a large is usually 16 ounces. This is fairly standard in the US at major coffee shops, or even most local ones. They generally do not sell 4-8 ounce coffees except at a rare shop, with again the exception of expresso.

The official size of a cup of liquid is 8 ounces, which I suspect is what is being referred to in medical studies about the effects of caffeine or cups of coffee. I could be wrong there, but they are unlikely to change the definition of a "cup" of liquid.

Here is Mayo Clinic on the caffeine content of 8 ounces of coffee:

I was unable to vote because there wasn’t a ‘none’ choice.

I wish I had never started because I don't like being dependent on it. But I'm hooked now and I hate headaches and I would have a lousy time with withdrawals.

Caffeine is the most used drug on the planet. I read it is greater than 90% of the global population that uses caffeine on a regular basis.

 

[Nutty Professor 188]

I drink hot, black coffee. No sugar. No cream.
Other than the caffeine, not a whole lot there but hot water. I can even drink it before fasting blood work.
I think a "cup of coffee" is based on 6oz.
If that is the case, I used to drink 3 cups from 10-8 time through briefing, 3 more in the morning, and 3 in the afternoon.
I have tried to quit the afternoon coffee, or I try to drink decaf in the afternoon.
But I am hooked, good and proper. Three days without and I'm with headaches.

[GWG19]

3-4 Cups. Smelling a cup brewing as I type. Coffee helps to make people tolerable, that and a little snort in the afternoon cup.

 

[GlockFan7]

Two cups at least. Sometimes another at bedtime. They're big cups though.

This thread is "Drinksist" propaganda.

Why is there no "I don't drink coffee" or "I rarely drink coffee" option?

edited to add --> [gbh said - "Zero. I love coffee but (it) hates me. "]


When I turned twenty my girlfriend (who was a year older than me) made me my first cup of coffee.

I took one (1) sip . . . and it made my stomach hurt so bad that it felt like I had just been stabbed with a dull, rusty, knife that was slowly being twisted in a circular pattern.

My girlfriend remarked, "Oh. Don't worry about that. You'll get used to that feeling."

My reaction? Why? Why should I want to drink something that makes my stomach hurt that badly?

I have never had another sip of coffee and to this day I cannot smell the smell of coffee.

Ever since grocery stores starting installing "grind your own" coffee bins . . . I avoid going down that entire aisle.

One of the most unpleasant things that I encounter on a daily basis ===> coffee breath.

Do coffee drinkers have any idea that their breath and clothing . . . stinks to high heaven?

Since this side topic has already been broached:

I have never smoked a cigarette or a cigar or a pipe or a hookah.

Do smokers have any idea that their breath and clothing . . . stinks to high heaven?

How does a coffee drinkers clothing smell? Are they spilling it on themselves?

As for breath....

I just lost interest in coffee about 10 years ago. Same way as I lost interest in alcohol back in 2002. No complaints here.

No choice for ZERO. I don't drink coffee.
