How many coffees a day do you drink?

Hi fellow coffee makers,

So I'm curious to hear how many coffees you all consume on an average day? It's one of those interesting things with this hobby - there's a physical limit to how many coffees I can drink before feeling awful

I average around 3 normal doubles and 1 decaf a day. This seems to be about the limit I can do without it affecting me negatively. Though I do kinda wish I had capacity for more.

What about you?

It's ok, this is a safe space here.

Mon-Fri work week 1-2. Affected by caffeine and since I drink little of it I might as well make it good. Weekends or days off 2-3.

I typically drink a double espresso.

I usually start my day with 3 doubles, and a couple hours later I have another with breakfast. I'll usually have a latte as a "recovery beverage" after bike ride/hike/run, often followed with a straight shot. Then one in the early evening, and if I have company I'll have a 1/2 shot in an affagoto (with a dash of Frangelico).

My house espresso Josuma Malabar Gold is said to be high-octane; FWIW I'm able to sleep with no problem an hour or so after a shot.

I have at least 2 doubles every morning. Occasionally, I make myself a latte as well. I've tended to randomly have a double in the evening after dinner, but since getting the BDB it's been daily.

If I could financially afford to drink more, I would, but coffee can get expensive if you're drinking and experimenting a ton!

As a side note, I used to think I didn't need coffee. This was until I tried going a few days without it and it was really uncomfortable. So, now I'm not delusional. I love it, but I also need it.

During week: 1 double as an Americano in the AM. When I get home in evening 1-2 doubles depending on mood. Fortunately no issues sleeping as caffeine at night doesn't affect me too much.
Weekend: 2 doubles in AM, 2 sometime in afternoon.

1-2 during the week. 2-3 on the weekends with consumption later in the afternoon being ok during the weekends. During the week with work stress I tend to be a bit more sensitive to the caffeine.

About 100g.
That's like roughly 5 pour overs and a couple of double espressos, either as is, or made into iced Americano.

I drink two double espressos in the morning (flat whites). Another double in the afternoon. One single shot decaf via my Nespresso Pixie as a
Cortado.

I'd like more but one day I consumed 14 double shots and almost landed in the hospital.

Now I know my limit and stay well clear of the danger zone.

Did you have a new toy or something? This is some next-level coffee drinking commitment.

Just a really long and stressful day at work...and a terrible Starbucks habit at the time!

Now that I have my own equipment, I can barely tolerate Starbucks!
