Miss Tick Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 3 cups of half-caf, black, is my allotment from the morning brew. Sometimes I get lucky if dh leaves early. I don't have time/interest to brew more. Memorial Day we switch to iced. Afternoons are for iced tea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sassenach Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 2-3 cups of coffee with cream a day. Two in the morning, and sometimes a 3rd in the afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaithManor Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 I am down to two large mugs in the morning and again in the afternoon. Cream no sugar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravelingChris Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I drink normally between 2.5 up to 5 mugs of coffee a day (12 oz. each). Sometimes I then switch to iced tea or regular tea. I drink it with half and half and some sugar (but much less sugar than I used to). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I wish I liked green tea. I really should cut back on the coffee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I wish that I could find a coffee bean flavor that I just loved, but I've tried about 20 different ones and I still haven't found it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyD Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 One big cup with milk in the morning, another in the early afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barb_ Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 One large mug with a tbsp of heavy cream, no sugar. About 3 times a week I'll have a second one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizzie in Ma Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 (edited) Chock full O Nuts at home, 3 or 4 mugs in the morning and then when I get to work I always pour another one but it gets cold and I don't end up drinking it.

ktgrok Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 So, today ended up being a double shot morning, which is unusual for me. And no, sadly, I don't mean shots of alcohol - but two shots of espresso in my latte. (the puppy woke up to go out last night, on top of the baby waking up to nurse, and that's just two much.) Also, forgot to say my current favorite drink is cafe con leche. Less milk than a latte. I do a lungo (long) shot of espresso which is just under 4oz, then 4 oz of heated milk. Plus splenda or sugar. Before I got the nespresso I had two cups of regular coffee a day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Then maybe a decaf at night after the kids went to bed. The espresso has half the caffeine of regular coffee (one shot is 75mg caffeine) so I can have it more often. And it seriously is SO much easier on the stomach. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pam in CT Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 2 or 3 large mugs every morning, black no sugar. I adore hot beverages and sip at them all day long, but I switch to mint tea or something else without caffeine at around 11 am. I really enjoy, but if pressed could live without, chocolate and meat and bread and wine. I could not live without coffee or cheese. I mean, I could, but it'd be a small and mean and grinchy life, barely worth living... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I could, but it'd be a small and mean and grinchy life, barely worth living... I do too, except in summer. But I'm really coming to derail the thread. :-) I like to sip my coffee. If I don't have time to drink a cup in the morning - for example, am in a rush to get out of the house and can't take coffee with me for whatever reason - I will do without and get my coffee when I can have it at a more leisurely pace. My husband doesn't get this. He would rather slam down a cup quickly than do without. I guess he needs the caffeine boost. Since we just use a 12-cup maker, and have no desire to change, we are sometimes out of sync with morning coffee. After 16 or so years (of my drinking coffee; we've been married longer than that), he still doesn't get it that I don't need the morning cup. And, I guess, I don't get how he can enjoy his coffee on days he has to drink it quickly and get moving. Maybe it's because I started my coffee drinking as a social thing and not a utilitarian thing? I didn't drink coffee till well into adulthood, when I started hanging out in coffeehouses with friends, and started drinking lattes and mochas and such. But I still drank tea at home, till one day I suddenly wanted a cup of 'regular' coffee in the morning.... and have never looked back. Whereas I think my husband started drinking coffee in college as a way to stay awake. I still see it as largely a social thing, even if I am socializing here on the boards, or with a book. Just musing on the sipping vs. slamming aspect. Hope it is not an unwelcome derail. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G5052 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Very strong, 1-2 cups a day. I cold brew and do 50/50 coffee and soy milk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Corin Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 (edited) I love it but only drink about four cups (capuccinos) a week - two each on Saturday and Sunday and maybe one other during the week. I only like the good stuff, so I drink tea most of the time so as not to bankrupt myself. No sugar.

MomtoCandJ Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 2-3 16 oz cups with hazelnut creamer.... though this increases once I'm in school and need the coffee to keep my brain functioning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some great ones out there now that really keep your coffee hot for a long period of time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Most days I drink two regular coffee mugs, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. That's the minimum. Some days it's more like 3 or maybe even four. And I like it with stevia and half-and-half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marbel Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 (edited) We use travel mugs......both problems solved. There are some great ones out there now that really keep your coffee hot for a long period of time. Not if your car has deficient cup holders. :-) But even with travel mugs, I find that sometimes it's just not convenient to bother taking it along - depends on what I'm doing. If I'm taking a kid to school and either coming right home or doing short errands first, I'll skip the coffee on the road; my husband will put whatever's left in the pot after he's finished in a thermal carafe and then I relax with my coffee at home. We do drink coffee while driving long distance... but when we have a long trip we take the newer/better car. :-) Edited May 30, 2017 by marbel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Marmalade Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Two 8 ounce hot cups in the morning. One 8 ounce cup in the afternoon after lunch. Generally one more cup of coffee or a cup of tea around 4:00. If I am working in the garden for a long time that day, add a very large glass of iced coffee to that. I love coffee.

Alessandra Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Now that I'm pregnant, 8 to 16 oz a day. Before, more like 24 oz a day. Oh, congratulations on the pregnancy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alisoncooks Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 (edited) Usually 1 coffee a day, which is: Either a medium coffee from McDs (+ cream and sugar) Or a 16-oz mug made at home (with pre-sweetened creamer). And/or an iced coffee if I'm out running errands (McD, Starbucks, or Dunkin). Edited May 30, 2017 by alisoncooks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
