I drink two mugs - and sometimes another 1/2. It's half of a 10 cup pot, so in reality it's 4-5 cups. Love coffee. Tried giving it up but saw no tangible benefit. I don't drink more than the 2-2.5 cups or after 10 AM and it doesn't seem to affect me negatively.

If I had the money I'd have 3 or 4 of my favorite mocha hazelnut latte's a day.

No coffee, but I have a 20oz cup for a tea, and I have at least 4-5 cups of hot, strong, black tea a day.

One 12 oz. cup every morning. Only rarely will I have a 2nd cup.

Religiously take 1 or 2 cans of 500ml energy drink a day. Only drink coffee when I'm at a cafe, average about 5 cups a week.

Either one or two per day...

This is what makes me crazy about questions like this. Even in surveys, "a cup" is rarely defined. Some coffee cups are 6 oz., some are 8 oz. (which is of course how we usually measure "a cup"), and some are mugs that hold 12 or 20 or 30 oz. Someone who has a 12 oz. mug of coffee is actually having 2 cups of coffee if a cup is defined as 6 oz. (as it sometimes is for coffee -- I have no idea why), but I doubt that they are thinking, "Hmmm, my mug is about 12 ounces, so I think that counts as two.)

Sorry, I do social science research, and we have too many questions that are vaguely phrased, which means our results are sometimes (often) meaningless.

End of rant.

(And as for me, I love coffee but I can only have it just after getting up, because any caffeine within 10-12 hours of bedtime will keep me up. I have a big mug which measures about 16 oz. in my coffee maker.)

I rarely drink coffee. I get Starbucks every once in a while but I don't really care for coffee in general.
