    When I am at work, I drink 1-2 cups a day, with one creamer in each one. Never after lunch though. On the weekends I might have one cup a day, sometimes none. I think it's a work thing - everybody here drinks coffee or tea during the day.

    3-4 pots a day is the normal. Typically I drink it black once in awhile I add in a flavored Bailey's creamer.

    Probably 24-32 ounces per day. Full strength. I tend to keep the calories to a minimum using sugar and fat free flavored creamers, and not a lot of them. Or I add a scoop of flavored protein powder with a little fat free creamer, so a protein rich coffee. I know this is more than I should be drinking, but I love the stuff.

    I have a low tolerance for caffeine, so I've never drank coffee except once or twice in my life.

    I gave up coffee to get in shape. I can't drink it without a ton of heavy cream. Well, I say 'ton', but it was only about 2 tbsp per cup. Unfortunately, I was drinking about 5-8 cups of coffee a day, and, at 100 calories per serving, that adds up. So, I switched to plain tea, but I plan to drink coffee again (in moderation) once I get close to maintenance.

    4 or 5 cups a day, but decaf (caffeine gives me heart palpitations), and just with 2 sweeteners.

    Depends on the day. Work days I will drink 1-2 coffee cups (My mug holds about 2 cups). On Sundays my love and I french press two or three times a day soo, about 3 cups on that day.

    I used to drink anywhere from 5 to 10 cups a day. Then the heart papiltations got worse and I quit Starbucks. lol

    All the coffee (1-2 pots a day)…I am definitely a coffee addict! Coffee is my go-to when I get snackie. I have tons of different sugar free creamers and flavored roasts so I can curve a sweet tooth when I need it!


    this is me- as much as possible- and I'd rather drink coffee than have a snack.

    so too much- but probably not enough to satisfy.

    2 cups a day in the AM. One regular (Millstone Foglifter), followed by one flavored (something seasonal, usually). 1/2 and 1/2 only, please. NO sweetener.

    I drink 2 or 3 - 16 oz glasses of coffee every morning. I don't use a mug B)

    This is the reduced caffeine version of my coffee consumption. I used to have that and about 2 or 3 iced coffees in the afternoon and sometimes hot chocolate made with coffee in the evening. Yummy stuff.

    I usually drink a lot of diet soda, but don't drink coffee often. When I need a lot of caffeine, though, I will drink it like it is going out of style. I do these road trips once or twice each year, where I drive at night and see/do stuff during the day. Pilot / Flying J truck stops have a blend of coffee that is supposedly a higher caffeine formula, and then I add Stok Shots, then some creamer and sucralose to make it taste decent.

    During the trips, I probably drank around 48-72 oz. daily (2-3 of the 24 oz. cups) and maybe 8-12 bottles of diet soda (diet has no calories) as well as a few large cups of soda from fast food places or gas stations.

    Other times, I usually drink no coffee and only around 60-80 oz. of diet soda daily.

    I have a 14 oz mug in the morning and I also have a cup in the evening at home, but only so I can use my Keurig :)

    triple shot of espresso around 8am, and a 20oz diet coke with lunch. Or another 2 shots of espresso.

    I'm sure I drink way too much but on average it would be about 6-8 large cups of strong black coffee a day. I tried to cut back but that didn't work out, but recently I found a decent tasting decaf and drink that from mid-afternoon onwards.

    A lot! 6-12 cups a day. I'm one of those people that aren't even coherent until they've had like 3 cups. Usually Folgers hazelnut, but the Jamaica Me Crazy has been my favorite lately.

    2 or more 16oz cups on any given day, either coffee or Americano. Coffee keeps me out of jail. . . .

    I LOVE my coffee!! And I like it dark and smooth, just like my red wine. :D

    I start off with a Starbucks Pike's med roast k-cup in my keurig at home, then at work we have Folgers Colombian med/dark roast. I drink 2-3 cups per day :)
