One 8 oz cup in the morning (Nespresso, between 160-200 mg caffeine), and a double espresso or 5 oz Nespresso after lunch (another 160mg of caffeine). If I’m really tired I’ll have another double espresso mid morning.

Never had even a sip in my life and can't imagine a reason why I ever would.

One cup first thing in the morning. Too lazy to make a second cup.

Usually, one 6 oz. cup in the morning. Black, no sugar. Sometimes, I forget and don't have any.

My coffee maker holds 64 oz of water, and I go through at least ¾ of that most mornings, sometimes all of it. Very strong coffee (beans ground fresh for each cup).
Like some others, I can't really drink it after about noon or I have trouble getting to sleep. Seems strange to me, since when I lived in Brazil it was customary to finish a meal with one or two extremely strong coffees, and that could be midnight or later. Never any sleep issues, so I've always wondered how that could be.

I set the programmable drip maker to have a half pot brewed and waiting in the morning. Whether I drink it all is unknown. None after noon. The cups I drink have light cream and stevia. It all is one of those little retirement luxuries to me.

Zero. Diet Coke is my caffeinated beverage of choice. And tea before bed.

I used to drink an 8 cup pot of coffee a day. After a bad cold in January where I did not drink coffee for more than a week, I switched to my 4 cup coffee maker which I measured to be about 20 oz. A "cup" of coffee is less than 8 oz. and I have seen it defined in different places as 4, 5, and 6 oz. but my Mr. Coffee uses 5 oz. I feel less jittery now but some days I want more coffee. Other days I get busy and do not drink the entire pot but usually feel extra tired by late afternoon.

As a result of a heart issue I avoid all caffeine. Never really a coffee drinker, but now also avoid sodas.

I've been considering the effect of coffee on my enamel as well and have been trying to mitigate that somewhat by rinsing with water and baking soda afterwards. Gets rid of coffee mouth at least.

I used to drink 2/day, but cut back to 1/day several years ago.

I drink about 1 large mug (around 30 oz) in the morning. If I drink coffee after about noon it affects my sleep so I almost never have coffee any other times of the day.

Two mugs in the morning, one mug after lunch and one mug after dinner. Doesn't keep me awake at night. French press, milk - not too light - and two teaspoons of sugar. Love the stuff.
