How Many Cups of Coffee Do you Drink Per Day?

Let’s say one cup is roughly 12 ounces so if you drink one of those giant travel mugs that is probably two cups at least.

On a typical work day:

  • A 20oz cup I buy at the coffee shop at the train station
  • Probably two cups in my oversized mug at the office (which probably holds about 20oz, as well)

Zero. I hate coffee. So does my wife Pepper Mill, so the sum of all the coffee we drink for a year is zero.

Oddly, though, our daughter MilliCal loves coffee. I have no idea how much she drinks. I have no idea where kids get this stuff. Probably her grandmother, who drinks enough for all of us.

Zero for me. I’ll have a Starbucks occasionally (when I’m passing-out tired) but that’s once or twice a month, but that doesn’t really work for the poll.

That’s because you’re a tea drinker, obviously!!

I counted a Red Bull on my way home from work as 1 cup, or I guess it should be two (16 oz Red Bull).

1 to 2. One in the morning and maybe a second cup in the afternoon. Otherwise, I supplement with water or tea.

I measured mine in quarts instead of cups. Still came up more than 5.

Same here. What I do have is about 3/4 of a kilo of pure anhydrous caffeine. Roughly the equivalent of 1-1.5 cups.

Never liked coffee. I do drink 2-3 cups of tea per day.

And you’ve discovered the biggest irony of all…

…I don’t actually like tea!

Balls. I voted before reading the OP.

At least one (1) eight ounce cup daily since I was about 7. I liked it, my parents thought it was cute.

By my late teens I was up to three to five eight-ounce cups daily, where I remain fifty years later.

I’ve heard a cup is 5-6oz. Of course technically a cup is 8oz, but when using those disposable styrofoam cups, most people only put 5-6oz in them.

Anyway I drink about 24oz of decaf coffee a day. I can’t drink caffeine due to an anxiety disorder but I like the taste of coffee, and it may have health benefits.

I drink Zero Coffee and Zero Hot Tea.

Will drink Ice Tea (no Ice Coffee)

The only Hot Beverage I drink is Hot Chocolate, but that is very RARE, probably been more than a year.

I voted “0,” but it’s more like 1/2 a cup a day. I probably have a coffee every other or third day, on average. There are weeks I’ll drink it daily and weeks I won’t drink it at all.

The line on the Mr. Coffee says 8. I think that’s measuring with a small oz. to cup standard. Certainly not 12 oz. servings. I drink that in the morning before I leave for work, then no more coffee the rest of the day. Weekends that amount of coffee may take hours to drink, or I may just have a few leisurely cups of tea instead.

I make an 8-cup pot of coffee most days and drink most of it.

Of course, those are 6-oz cups, because that’s how coffee pots tend to be measured. And my wife drinks one mug of that, so like maybe 10 oz, leaving me about 38 oz, and I might waste a few ounces each day.

YOUR POLL IS CONFUSING!

I said 3-5 cups a day, but I didn’t read the 12-oz benchmark :). I barely reach that, or else voted wrong.

I love my coffee. I actually tracked my coffee intake for my doc not long ago, and I averaged 2.4 L (~81 oz) of coffee per day over a thirty day period. I drink more during the work week, and less on weekends.

For the record, both my doctor and I agree that this is too much (it worked out to over 1000 mg of caffeine daily during the week), and I’m trying to cut down. But I do love my coffee …

Pretty much zero now. I will have a cup once a month or something.

There was a time where I was drinking like 8 cups a day though.

Now I prefer water.

lets see, 12 oz while getting ready for work, 20 oz on the way to work and for the first half of the morning, none after that till I get home from work, ummm, 6 oz times…carry the 5…I drink about a pot and a half, maybe two, mostly in the evening.
