How many cups of coffee...
Gets you going in the morning?
For me...Usually 1 - 2 cups of coffee, then a pop in the afternoon. Rest of the day/night is usually water.
I can tell you this, some guys at my work should just have an IV plugged in, as much as they drink all day. I'd be dead from a heart attack, if I drank that much coffee.
How bout you guys?

I have gradually cut back on coffee since retiring several years ago due
to a problem with stomach acid, plus I get more sleep now. I usually
drink coffee twice a day and one cup, meaning 12 oz, of strong black
coffee seems to be good enough. I think I have compensated for the
reduction of coffee by drinking about one 2 lt. bottle of Diet Coke a
day. Still need a little caffeine now and then.

2 or 3 cups in the morning, 8 to 10 cups throughout the day....yes, I'm one of those guys that drink coffee all day. I can drink right up to the moment I go to bed, and still sleep without problem....

One big (16 oz.) cup black coffee every morning. Occasionally when out
and about I might have a cup with cream & sweetener, but very rarely.
About once a month.

Sitting here reading the S&W Forum at 5:05 am with my first of about 3-4 cups of the morning. That does me for the day.

One or two cups max. Unless I am out to breakfast. Then it depends on the waitress, and how quick she is with refills.

Two, (large), mugs of Folger's in the morning, maybe one more after dinner. If I go out for a meal, it's always water. Coffee doesn't keep me awake, but it does generate more than the usual number of overnight trips to the biffie.

At least 6 cups per morning. I am a Finn, (Finland Blood) and a Finn baby that is born without a coffee cup in their hand is considered deformed.

I've cut down since I retired as well. It used to be a pot a day, now it's about 1/2 a pot which is 2 16oz cups.

I usually have 2 mugs at work and finished by 8:30 or 9:00. On the weekends, pretty much one and done.

Just 2-3 cups at first, and normal cups, one slightly larger than average. But sure no 16 oz. cup! One has a picture of a pheasant on it and reads Father. My daughter gave it to me when she was about 12.
Later, I have about 5-7 cups of coffee or tea throughout the day into the evening.
Tea has less caffeine, but it doesn't bother me.
I read that drinking about four cups of coffee a day seems to delay or prevent symptoms of Alzheimer's. Saw that in several medical articles and TV doc features. (Network medical consultants, not doctor fiction shows.)
I love good coffee, but also tea, so I don't drink as much coffee as if I wasn't also a tea drinker.
I sometimes use milk in tea, normally just sugar. I do use milk/cream and sugar in coffee, unless I'm having coffee with strawberries. Then, I use just sugar.
When I was about 12, some guy working with the teacher brought us some brochures from the Pan American Coffee Board, I think it was. Lots of info on coffee. I guess the idea was to give them to our parents to promote coffee drinking. I read them with great interest. One said that some Central American men drink as many as 40 cups a day! That seems really excessive, if true.

Had a supervisor I worked with that could kill a "large"office coffee pot by himself! After it was all gone,ask someone to please make a fresh pot & he would kill most of that too....unless he had to go out to the job sites.Whenever he returned ,first stop was the coffee pot!

Usually two cups in mid-morning these days. Sometimes another one, or
two later. Have half and half in it.
Drink black tea, off and on, all day.
When I committed journalism for a living the call, "Someone make a new
pot of coffee!" was often heard in the land.

Half a pot of Folgers or Maxwell House every morning.
In colder weather, I might drink another one-fourth pot
at night. Warm/hot weather months, I usually don't
drink any at night. I usually back the morning coffee
up with a diet Mt. Dew about 10AM.

Most of a pot in the a.m. with whole milk or half and half, no sugar. Then a cup or two in the afternoon before I go out to do the p.m. chores and feeding.
Two liters of Diet Coke a day?
What could possibly go wrong?

Typically, I bring a thermos to work and drink it before 9 AM (about 3-4 CPO mugs from 5:30 til 9:00). Weekends, 2-4 cups. Diabetic, so I drink unsweetened tea during the day & evening.
I drink Deadman;s Reach=a high caffeine brew out of Alaska with only creamer added. Easy on the stomach. Running a little late, so I'm drinking my first cup now.

Not much coffee these days, but two Red Bulls in the morning get me up and out.
Another after lunch, and I'm good.

I had a friend who ran a pool hall and stayed up all night every night on Red Bull. That is until he had a heart attack.

One cup is plenty sometimes it takes two cups to get me motivated and active. I always depend on my morning coffee from Caribou coffee.

In mild or warm weather 3 will set me up just fine. Since we are both retire that pot stays hot all day from can till can't. Never counted the cups but it would be a goodly number.

In the morning a double espresso and one, maybe two, regular cups with no sugar. Sometimes, after a nice dinner, a double espresso with a Remy Martin.
Many years back, shooting IPSC competition, I never touched the stuff from a day or two before.

I say that I drink "2 cups" in the morning. The coffee maker says that is exactly "6 cups" of water that goes to make the fresh ground stuff I have this addiction for. Those 2 cups are big mugs. Never talk to anyone before the coffee in the morning and would not even step outdoors without those "6 cups" of coffee being in the brewer and at least the first 3 in that big mug. There is no life before coffee for me. But that is the end. no more caffeine the remained of the day. only water and some nice local brewed brew after 5 in the evening.

8-10 "coffee maker cups" I guess those are about 6 oz? Decaf, no cream no sugar. If I am bringing it in a thermal mug to drink in the car for some reason I like to add a couple of tsp of Cappuccino mix. Caffeinated doesn't keep me awake but my cardiologist said to avoid it due to my A-fib. If I'm in a restaurant or at someone's home and they dont have decaf ready I'll drink caffeinated, no problems.
If I don't finish what is in the 10 cup coffee maker in one day I'll zap what is left in the microwave the next morning and drink it while the new batch is brewing.

Man that stuff hurts my chest.
I honestly don't know anyone drinks those energy drinks.
Not knocking - just don't enjoy them myself.

I usually don't drink coffee, or any caffeine in the morning. I do sometimes drink a Monster if it's "one of those days" though and I REALLY need a jolt.

One big (20 oz) Dunkin Donuts coffee, made at home, every day. Sugar and light cream are a must. Just the one cup. That one cup, every single day, made just the way I like it. Of course, it is consumed in my favorite coffee mug. It is the morning ritual round these parts for 4 decades. OCD? Hell no, we're talking coffee here, for heaven sakes.

I am nonstop coffee all day. And I'm not playing. Juan Valdez named his donkey after me.
No cream, no sugar.
Hand it over, no one gets hurt.

I stop counting at around six, that's usually about 10 in the morning.

My grandkids gave me a big mug; it holds one quart. I fill that with tea every morning but don't drink anything else except milk with meals and water all day. If I'm going out shooting that day, I drink decaf tea; I can tell the difference on target.
When I was working, one of our female co-workers told us she had her coffee maker on the bed side table, with the clock set for 10 minutes before her alarm went off; that's the only way she could get out of bed.
