Coffee How much coffee do you drink?

[HayleySarg]

Oooh, what kind?

Every kind! I've not met a tea yet I didn't like (other than low quality tea ofc!)

 

[George Jones]

Tea.

That is all.

I drink 3 to 4 mugs of tea a day, mainly Tim Hortons steeped tea, which, when fresh, I love. At 7 or 7:30 am, I stop in at a Tim's on the way to work, and I chat for a while with other morning regulars. At about 10 am and 2 pm, I get tea from the Tim's at work. I don't have have to go outside, so I can ignore the "Beware! Bear in the area." sign that was on the door of my building when I arrived at work this morning. Tea after supper, either at home, or I walk to Tim's with my wife and daughter.

 

[HayleySarg]

My daily intake is:

2 cups of black tea with lemon

snack: fruit + herbal or green tea

Lunch: Earl Gray OR a fruit flavored tea, sometimes over ice

Dinner: Herbal/green tea

I always have tea. I've recently weaned myself off all coffee and soda.

a little bit of caffeine will shoot my blood pressure over 160 so I don't drink coffee at all

Tell me about your favourite tea! No caffeine please.

Seriously, I feel tea is so... "bland".. I need to get used to it tho.

What's wrong with caffeine, says the Caf-fiend

I'm just curious as to how many people here drink coffee and if so, how much. (I consider a 'cup' to be your average mug, or like an average large/extra large coffee at a coffee shop. It's a very rough measurement.) I know coffee is very prominent among science/math majors (I've noticed that a lot of my profs have coffee machines in their offices) It's my theory that if coffee were to somehow disappear off the face of the earth, the scientific community in North America would collapse. :)

Personally, I started drinking coffee last summer, when I was working in a restaurant that tends to focus on the breakfast/lunch crowd. Employees get as much free coffee as they want, so I started drinking it, and got to really like it (drinking it black, I can't even really stand cream or sugar anymore). Then I went off to first year university and didn't even stand a chance with the amount of sleep I started getting. I've so far managed to keep myself down to 2 cups a day, except during finals or after big pushes where I might drink three, but who knows... I've got quite a long time in school left to get super-addicted.

How about you? Are you an avid coffee drinker, or do you hate the stuff?

*Note* Since I don't know how to change a poll, the first option is for non-coffee drinkers. The second one is for people who drink coffee, but not regularly/daily.

I am a science and engineering person, but I don't drink coffee. But somehow I find time to go to the gym and exercise. (but I don't find time to socialize really).

Occasionally I eat chocolates, today I ate a creamy white chocolate bar, and yesterday I ate for my breakfast before my exam that day a kit-kat, hopefully I got good grade in the exam, I don't think so.

What would you say is the most important exercise? I mean, exercises for memory/concentration..

I'll try to find some papers on that. If you have some links...

Strawberry Lemonade tea

Chai Rooibos Tea

I'm all about these two right now and they're amazing.

Herbal teas in general tend to be much more flavorful than green (unless it's Matcha, which is some kind of flavor ;)

The word 'exercise' was after 'gym' as in physical exercising. :-)

But for academic studying the more I practice something, and write it also down it's get stuck in the brain for a long time, yes it's tedious to write down from the book to your notes and repeat it, but I find that once I do this it gets stuck in the brain even well after the exam is finished (obviously memory is a tricky thing as time passes by). Once I do this after a long time that I didn't touch on the subject I can look on a book and read it in a brisk.

Oh no. I meant physical exercise.

I'm pretty sure some kind of exercises are better at reducing, let's say, stress, than others.

 

[leroyjenkens]

I only drink water. I try to avoid foods and drinks that can potentially stain your teeth, such as tea and coffee.

Yes it does relax me, it's quite exhilarating going on the stepper or walking.

I prefer not to run, but I can run real fast (I have holes in my shoes from such runs, I mean sprints).

Not really. Exercise is exercise. At least when it comes to cardio. I feel like crap every morning I wake up. I take care of this by putting on my jogging shoes and getting out of the house as fast as possible, within 30 minutes of waking up. 1/4 mile into my jog, I start feeling great. If I don't jog, I feel like crap for most of the day.

After my jog, I stop off at the coffee shop and kick in my runner's high with a big cup of caffeinated coffee

 

[jennymathew]

I love coffee but more intake to this is harmful yet I drink at least 3-4 coffee a day... Is this too much?

 

[StrayCatalyst]

I'm addicted to caffeine - I have a choice of coffee or migraines.

Coffee tastes much better.

 

[coffeejunky]

I drink a lot (2-4 cups a day), although I've been drinking less lately because I'm out of creamer. Painful not to have creamer.

 

[Dr.Mobius]

I drink zero coffee, or any other caffeinated beverages... I avoid the stuff since it tends to exacerbate my anxiety disorders (yes, I meant to pluralize it). Although, sometimes I allow myself a bit of chocolate, because, hey, who can resist? Doesn't have much caffeine, anyways.

 

[willem2]

6-10 cups a day. results, see here:

[xiavatar]

I used to drink 5-10 cups of coffee a day. Now I just drink water. Much healthier to be honest.

 

[Pythagorean]

I drink two cups in the morning, I drink two cups at night,
I drink two cups in the afternoon, it makes me feel alright.

No wait, that was something else. I drink like zero to half a cup a day, mostly. Sometimes two cups when I really need it (not that it actually helps in the long run, it ruins my slow meticulous style).

 

[djh101]

Two (sometimes three) in the morning. One during the day, occasionally (I don't have an income and coffee at school costs money, otherwise this would probably be daily). And at night I like to have a cup of tea. I usually stick with just tea on the weekends.

 

[djh101]

I think Brent Corbin (at UCLA) refills his mug after every lecture.

 

[lendav_rott]

My hate for coffee is so developed, I know how to say "I hate coffee" in 12 languages.

 

[drizzle]

Colombian coffee is different. I tried it and it was really good. But I like my chai better.

 

[gfd43tg]

I do like to drink coffee, but I have mostly stopped because I don't want to stain my teeth.

 

[JorisL]

Depends on the moment. I drink coffee every day, like 3 mugs, but during finals I drink 1-2 pots a day (approx. 2 liter).
Also because I get bored with juice and water, don't have that problem with coffee.

Also coffee with some rum is lovely.
