How much coffee do y'all typically drink in a sitting?

I am worried that I drink too much at once. I don't drink coffee daily but typically when I do drink coffee I will have 4-6 shots of espresso. I am not asking if this is healthy per se, I'm more searching for confirmation that it isn't too uncommon lol.

If anyone does want to let me know how bad for me this is then it should be noted that I also take a medium dose of vyvanse daily 💀

In a day, or at a single time?

I think that a typical cup for me is 16oz, and I usually have 3-4 in a day (usually one at home, and 2-3 at work). My spouse's cup is 20oz, but they only have one in a day.

However much my French press makes. Usually fills a 32oz thermos I think? Typically consumed over 4-6 hour work day. Sometimes significantly less time.

Two. Depending on the situation, maybe two shots, two coffees, two decafs, or two hours.

But definitely not after 2pm. I need to sleep later.

fwiw I don’t think 4-6 shots is too far out of the norm if not daily. Double-shots are not uncommon, and 2-3 of those on occasion seems rather reasonable. I just would hope you drink a good amount of water the rest of the day. Now if you mean that you downing 6 double-shots… are you Dan Campbell?

I drink so much fucking water bro you have no idea. I take diuretics for a kidney issue I have and combining that with coffee (another diuretic) is absurd. I piss so damn much 😭

This is something I definitely needed to know about

I drank a pot and a half of coffee today, so I don't think you're too far out there

Two 8oz cups. Any more than that and my eye begins to twitch like tweek from south park.

I have one cup first thing in the morning and that's it lol if I drink more caffeine than that I'll feel like I want to start crawling up the walls!

Same, I have a one cup rule. Just a standard, drip, black. 2 cups in a day and I'm uncomfortably wired.

I go for one cream and two sugars, but same basic concept lol

I got a tiny coffee maker that just just makes one cup at a time and it's perfect!

2 espressos per day. Sometimes 3.

Most days I don't drink coffee, but on days I do it's usually around 6+ cups.

I drink 1-2 Americano’s every day. Double shot of course. When I was drinking drip I would drink 8-10 cups which was a lot. Getting an espresso machine has definitely helped me cut back

30g of beans once a day. 4-6 shots would kill me.

4 shots is 28g, you're all ready there and didn't know it.

Taniwha420 ,

3 or 4 double shots in the morning. Drip and (especially perc) coffee delivers more caffeine, mostly due to volume. I've knocked myself into jitters with drip on numerous occasions. Never done this with espresso.

You're fine. I've had baristas balk at a quad shot right after serving someone a 16oz. drip without even blinking. There's probably as much if not more caffeine in the 16oz. drip.

I rarely drink coffee on my days off, when I work I bring a 20oz mug of drip coffee with me. At my old job, I'd probably polish of a pot or two to myself most days, mostly because walking back to the break room and brewing a pot when it was empty was a good way to avoid actually working that no one ever batted an eye at.

fritobugger2017 ,

I grind 27 to 28 grams of beans (depending upon whether i use a 16:1 or 15:1 ratio) for a cup of around 430ml of brewed pour over coffee.

This is more than I drink on a daily basis but I don’t think it’s too crazy. I usually drink 2-3 cups of drip coffee on weekdays and 4 espresso shots on weekend days.
