For those who are coffee drinkers in the morning

rosemaryhon

How many cups in the morning? and regular or decafe?

Also if you had to give up coffee for a month and just drink plain water in the morning could you survey?

I drink one cup every morn, lately another mid-day, and one more after dinner. I drink it kinda strong with a flavored creamer or 1/2 & 1/2, never liked it with sugar.

Oh I wouldn't wanna give it up ~ but I do drink lots of ice water daily too, nothing else usually (except for the occasional booze).

I have one 16 oz cup in the morning. Its rare for me to have any in the afternoon, but will occasionally.

I drink about 4 cups a day. It gets my head in the game. Makes workouts stronger.... I drink it black. I wouldn't want to survive without it but i guesss I could.

Hi There: I have 2 cups of black coffee every morning.
Could I give it up? NO!!!!!!!
I just gave up cigs-almost 4 months now! I need my coffee fix!!

It's a cyclic thing. I give up coffee, get the headaches. Go back on it slowly, stop paying attention, it goes up too much, I give it up.

For the last two weeks I've tried swapping out 2 cups of green tea for my regular morning Venti Pike with whole milk no sweetener (Starbucks addict here) and after the initial 7 days of headaches, irritability, and general b!%<#iness I'm actually feeling pretty good.
...but I know come the autumn when it starts to get cold in the mornings I won't be able to resist that yummy coffee goodness during my walk to work.

Mine's 2 coffees with milk before I leave the house, and another mug at 1045 coffee time. A couple of times a week I fancy an espresso after dinner, too.

I've been to quite a few places (sailing trips, camping trips in the remote tropics) where there was no morning coffee, only water. Surprisingly enough, that's always been fine, probably because there were always lots of activities to look forward to. I was always overjoyed to get back to my morning coffee, though. It's so delicious!

20 oz 1 Tbsp sugar 3 splenda every morning.I could with major effort ween myself off but I don't want to

I drink two cups of regular coffee (with cream and sweetener) in the morning. I sometimes add one more cup in the afternoon, if I am really tired, but it's rare. I could survive without coffee, but I'd rather not!

WhiteGirlWasted13

Two cups in the morning, with full fat raw cream and vanilla stevia. I drink water after that. I could give up my coffee, but we (the coffee and I) would miss each other terribly.

I have weened myself off of it a little, but still like to have 1-2 cups a day. If at work and drinking the coffee they give out for free, it is a medium roast with a little cream and sugar. If I'm at home, I have my wonderful Maxwell House original roast with some flavored creamer, no sugar needed .

Goal_Driven

I drink one cup of regular each morning.. don't think I would survive without it.. might end up in a ditch on my morning commute to work :P

camaxon

I drink about 6-8 cups a day........what did I do before my keurig.....

Lawngirl296

1 cup at home 1 at work and a cup of iced coffee, got to be good for the metabolism I hope:noway:

MelsAuntie

At least two, regular, with white chocolate macadamia, white chocolate mocha, or caramel creamer. I think you mean "survive", yes, of course, but why would I give it up?

aliceclutz90

I used to have a cup of coffee (caffeinated) with breakfast every morning. I gave up coffee for a month and replaced that breakfast coffee with green tea. Now I only occasionally have a coffee with breakfast and don't miss it at all. Still love my coffee but realise I didn't need it every morning like I thought I did.

themedalist

I go to bed anticipating my morning coffee

This! 2-4 cup black coffee drinker here. Could i give it up? Sure, I did 20 years ago when I was pregnant.

I thoroughly enjoy my morning coffee. Love it. It's a ritual that I enjoy very much. But I always stop drinking coffee at noon, because it's no longer morning.

SezxyStef

THe first word(s) out of my mouth is coffee.

GIVE IT UP NO WAY.

And I have actually decided that is the one thing I won't be giving up at all...my coffee with sugar and real cream.

conniemaxwell5

I gave up coffee about 6 months ago. I was drinking 3-4 cups a day. I felt like it was driving some of my cravings for sweets. In the morning I drink warm lemon water with honey. When I run out of lemons I miss it more than I ever missed coffee! Once in a while a cup of coffee sounds good and once in a while I'll give in and have one but so far it hasn't led me back to the daily habit.

fuzzball01

I drink a cappuccino every morning Monday thru Friday (need to get thru workday somehow). I can survive w/o coffee only when im on vacation.

sbarella

Admittance: I'm an addict. I drink at least 4 strong espresso in a day and I'd die without them.

Gwen_B

I drink two cups of half-caf every morning with fat free hazelnut and Stevie. I gave caffeinated coffee for a 40 day fast at church and it was torture!! I had a head ache for 40 days and when I started drinking it again I started to have heart flutters all the time even when I wasn't drinking it! That is when I started to drink half-caf!!

VanessaG02

I usually have 1 1/2 cups of Spanish espresso with 1T of Creamer and 1 sugar packet, in the morning and water the rest of the day! I love it and it helps get me going. Could I give it up.... I'm sure I could I had to ..... and only if I had tooo :sad: LOL! No seriously I have given it up before but I always go back! I used to drink 3-4 cups of regular coffee throughout the day! So having my one cup of espresso in the morning I feel is a healthy compromise! :happy:

Doing a survey or surveying requires alot of energy, therefore I could not survey without coffee.

ncbeachprincess

No way will I give up my coffee! At least not now! I drink 12-24 oz, with 1 1/2 tbsp of Sugar Free Creamer. This is my indulgence. And no, I have no intentions of cutting coffee. Some people like expensive preworkout regimens, I like coffee. Oh, and I drink regular coffee. I only drink coffee and water, nothing else, EVER.

ohpretty

I always have a cup of 24 oz (strong) Wawa Hazelnut coffee in the morning with some non-dairy creamer and a little sweetener. Most of the time I end up having another during the day at work but I can't go a day without coffee without ending up with a headache so I don't feel the need to stop drinking coffee anytime soon.

PhattiPhat

2 coffees with milk and sugar in the morning. Just started back up again a couple days ago. I could quit and have done so in the past, simply because my urges for coffee come and go. Seemed after I quit smoking 6 years ago, coffee addiction went along with it.

LolBroScience

usually 2 in the AM, and 2 closer to lunch during work week.

jennshea01

2 cups religiously every morning. A bit of non-fat milk and sweetener. Can't drink coffee (or any caffeine) after about 2:00 p.m. or I won't sleep that night.

aloranger7708

I usually only drink one cup of regular coffee in the morning, with 3 packets of stevia and 1/4 cup milk.

And I could definitely give up coffee in the mornings because I have done it before! I used to drink ice water with a squeezed lemon and it gave me more energy than drinking coffee! Coffee doesn't really give me a boost; I drink it more out of habit and taste.

thatonegirlwiththestuff

I typically have 2-3 cups of regular coffee in the morning with a tablespoon of sugar free hazelnut creamer and 1-2cuos in the afternoon. Anything under 4 cups, and I risk slipping into a coma.
