I was just sipping on a white mocha, being a slight coffee addict, and wondered how much coffee does everyone else drink on average? Per day, Per hour, Per minute whatever you want - i'm curious!
First of year of school tells me more than the average person for sure but I know a lot of people are into energy drinks too, which I wouldnt recommend anyone drink, so lets hear it!

Two per day, always fresh ground. A coffee in the morning, a cappuccino (sometimes a double) in the afternoon.
The best roaster around is a short walk from my studio, I can smell when they are roasting.

2 pots per day while in grad school (10-cup size)... I quit energy-drinks after 2 semesters in undergrad, they do nothing anyways and hold a fraction of the caffeine of a regular coffee.
Now, many years later, perhaps 4 cups during the work day. Black, always black... sometimes even cold. Delicious. If I am working at home, then I'll grind the beans fresh and use a french press.

i'm probably in the neighborhood of 4-5 cups per day. i stopped drinking coffee after noon, and stop caffeine after a coke with lunch, in the hopes of sleeping better. doesn't seem to make a difference though.
i start with ground coffee at home, then work coffee at work. i don't know what i would do without the grind-and-brew on a timer. how do you make coffee if you haven't had your coffee yet?

NO coffee EVER, i don't even know what happens in a Starbucks, every time I walk in there to meet someone I notice they sell nothing that I would be interested in...
Monday - nothing in the morning, Honest Tea Green Tea with Honey by lunch - solid caffeine, dinner perhaps another Tea of Mountain Dew
Tuesday thru Thursday- Tea in the morning, Mountain Dew by lunch, perhaps a Red Bull by dinner if 15 hour days
Friday - Red bull in the morning, Red bull for lunch, Red bull for food coma time around 2-3pm, then beer for dinner.
Try to do Zero caffeine on weekends.
Coffee still sucks, not sure why anyone would drink, but millions do, and coffee breath is scary bad.

I dislike the energy drinks/sodas, although I really appreciate the kinds of events that Red Bull puts on and the fringes of what we consider 'sport' that they are pushing.
I adore my coffee, although Ive been trying to cut back to 2-3 cups a day.
I like a hearty coffee, very strong, usually french press (double-steeped) or stovetop espresso, black or with a very small bit of milk if its particularly acidic. I'll bring a thermos of that home-brewed into work for a morning kick, take a black earthy chai tea before lunch, a dark roast in the afternoon and possibly a light green tea before quitting time. Some excellent smaller roasteries seem to be popping up everywhere in these parts - but my favourite for a long time has been Kicking Horse Coffee from the west coast of Canada. Much rarer, but equally exquisite is the Midnight Sun Roastery in the Canadian high north (Yukon).

Two large cups per day, one right after my shower, one on the way to work that I sip on (even cold) all morning. Maybe once a month or so I have a latte or iced coffee in the afternoon.
Seriously, three liquids make up about 90% of my liquid intake: coffee, water, bourbon. I rarely drink anything else, sometimes wine.
When I was younger a I drank about five cups per day, plus espresso after dinner.

I start out with a double espresso at Peet's right after I emerge from Bart, I drink tea all day after that and 1 glass of Merlot after that. One office I worked at, served Peets coffee - it kept us up until 10pm - too wired to go home - besides the PAs would drop off a whole set of red-lines on our tables at 5:30 - due the following day.

Mine depends on if I'm in school or not. When I'm in it's about 3-4 coffees a week and water for everything else. I'm still a coffee baby it seems though, I take mine light and yes, haha, I like Starbuck's white chocolate mochas.
I've never even tried, nor do I want to, Monster/5hour energy/redbull. Judging by the nutrition labels I think those are probably one of the origins of cancer...

Iced Americano light no sweetener in the morning. 3-4 cups of hot spiced chai during work. Then an Iced Miel before workout/jiu jitsu. Honestly, I could mainline coffee and still sleep like the dead.

One home-made caffe latte in the AM with custom roasted beans, and one drip coffee later in the day, also with custom roasted beans. Yes I am a coffee snob.
But i supplement this routine with at least 3-4 cups of green tea in the day just to calm the nerves.

austen you seem the most healthy with regard yo caffeine dependency.........everything gives you cancer, but my guess coffee probably not as much for most people..................i once went 6 months no caffeine, at first i would actually pass out at 9 or 10pm and wake at 7am and then after a few months was back to normal but would often fall asleep after lunch ( food coma). after that 6 months i went bacl to 3 or 4 cans of dr pepper, the first month i slept an average of 5 hours a night........in short what i have learned is to drop caffeine on weekends my body adjusts and correcta the sleep deprivation caused by caffeine.........not sure any athletes here or back in the day, but in high school was on this heavy Amino Acid (GNC) stuff during track season, after one month i noted i went from being one of the fastest to average and my only guess was the Amino Acid supplements were hiding or causing me not to notice my actual fatigue......i highly recommend caffeine addicts (coffee everyday) to try none at all...........tea seems to be a solid caffeine, not over the top as no sugar so good when you are not tired, but if you have mountain dew or red bull when you are not actually tired you might as well check yourself in somewhere and count on not actually focusing on anything....balance

When I was pregnant I quit entirely, and it was easy. My body just didn't want it. My non-coffee drinking husband congratulated me on kicking the caffeine habit and my response was "The day this child is weened I'm drinking a triple espresso." Why would I *want* to stop coffee?! It's one of life's greatest pleasures.

donna, was it because you were pregnant or in general your body just didn't need coffee? pretty sure my wife had no coffee both pregnacies and a slew of strange requests....like orange tic tacs - 1130pm orange tic tac runs to 7-11.....so is it the coffee or the caffeine that is one of lifes greatest pleasures? i get it drugs have all types of effects on people but appears caffeine and alcohol are socially cool.....i guess pot in some places is getting there.......there is a trade school in manahattan when i used to walk by after teaching at a university - during lunch break, it was just groups of future welders rounding the block sharing blunts,clouds of smoke.........wondering how much coffee,if any, pot smokers consume?

Chris when I was pregnant my body truly didn't want any of the things you're not supposed to imbibe when pregnant. I craved fat - full fat yogurt, ice cream, whole milk - but no crazy cravings like tictacs.
It's the coffee AND the rush of caffeine that is the pleasure; one without the other is meaningless.
I can only speak for myself but if I still smoked pot I would HAVE to drink lots of coffee, unless my job was to sit on my couch watching Beavis and Butthead.

I visited my local (15 shops) coffee chain's bean roastisserie (is that a real word?) over the weekend. Really neat re-use of a dilapidated old carriage house. The processing equipment complete with all the delicious smells and noise was right next to the sitting area. I could sit there all day watching batch after batch of green beans get all toasty and delicious.
On a side note, the employees hang their bikes along one interior wall next to the roasting machinery making their bikes part of the decor.
I second the starbuck sock water comment above.
