Funny thing is, I don’t drink coffee at all. I just don’t like the taste of coffee. I do drink espresso, though. Monday - Friday, I stop in and get 1 quad espresso with mocha syrup. The rest of the time, I drink nothing but water. My dad would drink about 4 pots of coffee per day when he was still alive.
I try to hold it to two cups a day or so, unless I can really justify the need for more. Almost always a strong cup in the morning, then maybe another cup later or some tea and soda spread out over the day; I lay off by evening.
When I was in university, bot undergrad and grad, my intake was measured in pots, not cups. Man, those were the days.
At most, two mugs (not the Gigantor-size mugs my wife uses) per day, mostly the swill we brew here at work, but occasionally I’ll walk over to the java shop down the block for a cuppa the good stuff.
When I’m on the road, I’ll brew one of the hotel-sized 4 cup pots when I get up and usually finish that before leaving for the client site. If there’s someplace convenient to get it, I’ll have at least 3 or 4 20-oz. cups during the day. I’d brew another pot after dinner if there were another package of caffeinated coffee in the hotel room, but usually there’s not. I will sometimes get a pot from room service along with dinner.
When I’m at home, I get up, get the kids out the door to catch the school bus by 7 am, then head downstairs to my home office. I’ll brew a 10-cup pot, which will almost fill my 20 oz. ceramic mug 3 times. I’ll typically finish that before lunch. When I return, I’ll brew another pot, which I generally finish by quitting time (it’s a thermal carafe, so it stays reasonably hot without getting burned on a hot-plate burner). After dinner, I’ll usually brew another pot and finish that before bed. Never have any trouble going to sleep.
How much you got?
On average, one 12-oz. cup a day, usually finished before noon. On rare occasions, maybe an espresso or cappucino after a meal out somewhere. I have no plans to cut down.
I don’t plan to increase my intake, either. I really like coffee, but I have enough trouble sleeping as it is, and any significant amount of coffee after lunchtime risks keeping me up all night.
That’s not my whole caffeine intake, though, as they keep Diet Coke in the fridge at work.
Heh. When my mother was alive, she’d taste it every once in a while, because she just couldn’t believe something that smelled that good tasted that foul! I feel the same way about Scotch. 
Mmmm. Scotch. Especially single malt. Before leaving the US, I would not have drank Scotch on a bet, but now I love the stuff.
8 x 12 oz mugs a day.
However, this week I have pared that back to about 2 a day, plus a mug or two of hot tea. Not experiencing any withdrawal.
All day, every day.
I gave up coffee both times I was pregnant. I am never getting pregnant again and I am never giving up coffee again!
3-4 14 oz mugs a day. More during midterms (now). Strong, fresh ground French roast is the only way to fly.
Generally, four to five 16-ounce mugs per day. Slightly less on weekends, usually a bit more on Mondays (when I’m in class for eight freaking hours).
It’s 2pm, and as usual, I’ve already lost count of how many cups I’ve had so far today.
None. So cutting down isn’t particularly meaningful.
I have to admit, I recently fixed a pan of Tiramisu Brownies, and decided that coffee is quite tasty if mixed with enough cream, sugar and chocolate.
In the interest of my waistline, I think I will refrain from cultivating a liking for coffee.
I’ll have a cup or two if I’ve gone out to breakfast, which is maybe every other week at most.
I like it, it just burns holes in my stomach lining.
Another vote here for none. I had no idea there were so many people who didn’t drink any coffee. Nice to know.
I don’t like the smell or the taste. I meet a friend in Starbucks often and she was telling me about how Starbucks is pulling the breakfast sandwiches because they mask the smell of coffee. She was saying how ridiculous that was since she didn’t smell the coffee in the first place. I literally laughed out loud. I can smell the coffee the second I walk in the door and can smell it on my jacket for a couple weeks if I don’t wash my jacket. It’s a very pungent smell. . . although for those of you who love it, you probably don’t notice it at all.
None. I also try to avoid being in the same room with it. And if your stinky-ass, coffee-impregnated caraffe and/or pot is in the dishwasher, put it and the hundred mugs you’ve gone through today away yourself. And clean the brown filth off the kitchen counter; it looks like diarrhea. I’m talking to you, wife and children. God I hate coffee.
I require more than 1/2 gallon at the minimum. This will be finished by 9AM and there may or may not be additional caffeination after that.
I did cut back, please do not ask me to have any less. I like it when the world shimmers.
Your children drink coffee? Maybe it is diarrhea on the counter.
