Two. Depending on the situation, maybe two shots, two coffees, two decafs, or two hours.
But definitely not after 2pm. I need to sleep later.
fwiw I donβt think 4-6 shots is too far out of the norm if not daily. Double-shots are not uncommon, and 2-3 of those on occasion seems rather reasonable. I just would hope you drink a good amount of water the rest of the day. Now if you mean that you downing 6 double-shotsβ¦ are you Dan Campbell?
I drink so much fucking water bro you have no idea. I take diuretics for a kidney issue I have and combining that with coffee (another diuretic) is absurd. I piss so damn much π
This is something I definitely needed to know about
Its something I need to complain about lol
30g of beans once a day. 4-6 shots would kill me.
4 shots is 28g, you're all ready there and didn't know it.
I drink 1-2 Americanoβs every day. Double shot of course. When I was drinking drip I would drink 8-10 cups which was a lot. Getting an espresso machine has definitely helped me cut back
I have one cup first thing in the morning and that's it lol if I drink more caffeine than that I'll feel like I want to start crawling up the walls!
Same, I have a one cup rule. Just a standard, drip, black. 2 cups in a day and I'm uncomfortably wired.
I go for one cream and two sugars, but same basic concept lol
I got a tiny coffee maker that just just makes one cup at a time and it's perfect!
I rarely drink coffee on my days off, when I work I bring a 20oz mug of drip coffee with me. At my old job, I'd probably polish of a pot or two to myself most days, mostly because walking back to the break room and brewing a pot when it was empty was a good way to avoid actually working that no one ever batted an eye at.
Most days I don't drink coffee, but on days I do it's usually around 6+ cups.
One pourover in the morning, one pourover after lunch. Under exceptional circumstances, a double espresso in the afternoon. Very rarely if ever more than that.
About 500 mL (~ 2 cups) drip coffee over the course of 4 hours.
2 espressos per day. Sometimes 3.
5 cups of half calf over 3-4 hours
In a day, or at a single time?
I think that a typical cup for me is 16oz, and I usually have 3-4 in a day (usually one at home, and 2-3 at work). My spouse's cup is 20oz, but they only have one in a day.
I grind 27 to 28 grams of beans (depending upon whether i use a 16:1 or 15:1 ratio) for a cup of around 430ml of brewed pour over coffee.
3 or 4 double shots in the morning. Drip and (especially perc) coffee delivers more caffeine, mostly due to volume. I've knocked myself into jitters with drip on numerous occasions. Never done this with espresso.
You're fine. I've had baristas balk at a quad shot right after serving someone a 16oz. drip without even blinking. There's probably as much if not more caffeine in the 16oz. drip.
This is more than I drink on a daily basis but I donβt think itβs too crazy. I usually drink 2-3 cups of drip coffee on weekdays and 4 espresso shots on weekend days.
Maybe a cup or two a day. If that.
15g in a French press for the morning.
Afternoon maybe a mate / green tea if I am feeling adventurous and wanting to get plenty done with headphones on.
I have a huuuge coffee cup that I'm sure it's used at restaurants for sauces and soups. It's about 24 oz or maybe more. I'll have about three or four of those a day, sometimes less, but that's my usual.
Maybe I don't put too much coffee in it Nymore since it always tastes a bit diluted, but it's certainly more than anyone I know.
Weirdly enough, the times I've had symptoms of drinking too much coffee was when I was drinking out of regular cups. π€·ββοΈ
I have 2 cups in the morning and then an espresso later on.
Same
Comparison is irrelevant. It's entirely up to your response to those stimulants, short- and long-term. For starters, the half-life of caffeine can be 3-8 hours in healthy adults, which is completely unrelated to sensitivity, which really matters, for which there is no objective test.
I used to drink up to 3 shots of espresso per day. Then I got my first amalgam filling, and coffee started causing muscle tension that I had to medicate. Over the years, my tolerance deteriorated, irritability got worse, and now more than a year after removing that amalgam, I still can't handle any amount of coffee daily. One shot makes me feel worse. Quarter shot stimulates but makes me angry, and then ruins the next night's sleep.
I don't know what's broken, but having had chronic inflammation and likely malabsorption in the small intestine because of slow (IgG) food allergies even before the amalgam is probably related. The gut is fine now, been for a year, after two decades of IBS. I can have a cup of decaf per day for a week before the muscle tension gets bothersome.
There's a book "Amalgam Illness: diagnosis and treatment" which helped a bit. Mainstream healthcare was useless against the IBS.
3-5 espresso shots daily
Only a 2 or 3 cups a week, my wife does all the heavy coffee drinking, we have an espresso machine and a cup one.
I mostly drink carbonated water and tea and sometimes a double espresso (fresh ground beans) with some cream. Sometimes when I really enjoy the cup of coffee I will take another cup.
Maybe once a month I'll make a cup or two on the weekend. I enjoy the flavor but the caffeine wrecks me.
Also a Vyvanse user as well
2 cuppas a day here π One for breakfast one for lunch.
1 x 16oz mug of french press made with about 20g grounds in the morning, and that's it.
I do sometimes need a cola at lunch to pick myself up though.
One 1.5 cup french press in the morning. Very rarely, mainly if I'm really busy for an entire day straight, I'll grab an iced coffee from McDonalds or Starbucks sometime around lunch as a boost.
Two 8oz cups. Any more than that and my eye begins to twitch like tweek from south park.
However much my French press makes. Usually fills a 32oz thermos I think? Typically consumed over 4-6 hour work day. Sometimes significantly less time.
Highly depends!
Normal day working from home: 16g/256mL specialty beans with a V60
At the office? 150mL from the coffee machine 1 or 2 times. Beans are okay. Oxfam fair trade
Sitting at a coffee shop? I will have 2-3 cappuccinos or something.
4-6 shots of espresso and my heart would explode
I usually drink 2-3 cups daily depending on how much my manager gives me to do. My partner is easily drinking 4 a day.
I drank a pot and a half of coffee today, so I don't think you're too far out there
Dunno mate. There are worse things you could be doing. "searching for confirmation that this isn't too uncommon" sounds like a recipe for a boring life. If you're worried about your health (but your not, you said so) ask your doctor as situations vary.
I have a 6 shot latte that I sip throughout the morning.
