On average how many cups of coffee or tea does it take for you to get your morning jump start?

3 cups of java here

I can work with less but I prefer a triple grande latte. That really perks me up!

A couple of cups get me out the door in a timely fashion. Sometimes.

I dunno man I've been drinking coffee for about 20 years now and I find that it's more of a habit now. It takes more and more coffee to get me going.

One or two cups of tea - but I need to cut back. Caffeine gets to be a problem as your plumbing ages.

two cups of tea green or ooolong

2 cups of coffee in the morning, occasionally mid afternoon green tea.

1 cup of tea is good but real strong tea.

2 x coffee of the travelmug variety while on my way to the first job of the day.

Then I have to rely on the 6 cup Thermos for the day's topups.

*Note to self* Cut down on the java*/note to self*

Wondering if I should hide my head here...lol! I have a full pot of coffee put away usually by 5 a.m....a 12 cup pot...then I'm ready to fly. Think I might be just a tad addicted?

Post by **YeOldeStonecat** » Fri Jul 08, 2005 7:28 am

I used to be at least a whole pot of coffee before I left, and another pot or two throughout the day at work.

But my GI system started having problems, and the docs insisted I cut back on the java, so cut down. Slowly crept back up to around 4 big mugs in the morning before I leave. My mug isn't the usual coffee mug size, it's a big one.

1 cup to get me to work, the rest of the pot in my trusty thermos to help through the morning.

wee96 · Post by **wee96** » Fri Jul 08, 2005 7:39 am

Usually about 3 big mugs and over the rest of the day 3 more.

Most of the time I have about 4-6 cups with about a have pack of butts. There has never been a better combo than a cup of Senseo dark and a Newport.

Two cups, half decaf from fresh ground beans. No more until the next day.

fastchevy · Post by **fastchevy** » Fri Jul 08, 2005 9:12 am

Never had a cup of coffee in my life.
I love tea though... Tradewinds Green Tea is awesome.

In the morning it's breakfast with some chocolate milk or Propel

Here too. Smells great. Tastes like dirt water.

I average 3 cups a day. If I'm working on a few systems or roughing in a network I begin to loose track.

mountainman · Post by **mountainman** » Fri Jul 08, 2005 11:28 am

Damn!

Sounds like I need to get into the coffee import business. You guys are nuts!!

About 3 or 4 days per week I stop at the local Starbucks house and grab a SINGLE (couple times per month I need the double) latte with vanilla and soy milk. Makes for a decent breakfast with the soy.

Hhehehe I was going to say that Sam and I drink a lot of coffee but seems he's cut down while we are at work. I love coffee and I love coffee ice cream, thats my favorite. But I do drink a lot, but never more than 3 cups a day, cuz then I get the shakes... Then I have to eat, which I love too, lol.

I drink 2 cups of strong coffee every morning,but thats it for caffeine laced drinks for the day.

Ive gotten so bad that I substitute coffee sometimes with caffeine pills :embarressed:

Debbie · Post by **Debbie** » Fri Jul 08, 2005 9:44 pm

I must be the weird one lol

I can drink almost a full pot of coffee in the morning and go back to sleep. It has the opposite effect.

But, at night, if I drink a mug of coffee, (let's say around 7:00 p.m.) I would be up until 2 or 3:00 in the morning

I still have not figured out why.

The Dude · Post by **The Dude** » Fri Jul 08, 2005 9:46 pm

2 cups of coffee in the morning when I get up and check my e-mail.

1 or 2 more maybe, during the day. It was probably triple that when I was still working.

Geez, I just had a large iced coffee from Dunkin Donuts an hour ago. It may be a long night for me and I have to wake up early to do laundry in the morning.

But, I have to say, it tasted so goooooooood!
