How much coffee or tea do you drink in a day?

[Gray]

It says something about coffee (to me at least) that a goodly percentage of those I know well had to force themselves to like it by drinking it and getting used to it - both my kids fall in that camp.

Seem to be plenty of people keeping all these coffee shops going. Never been in one myself and probably never will.

Way too much coffee when I am at work.....

 

[BlakeHoobs]

Too much. I can't imagine my morning without a cup of espresso. Then a couple of cups at work. And in the evening at home sitting on a comfortable sofa. And don’t forget to go to cafes. Looks like it's already an addiction

Same here!

I think I have been drinking too much coffee and tea again. Now going to limit my coffee intake to 4 cups a day and water x 3 glasses including what I drink with medication.

2-3 cups of real filtered coffee brewed from Italian Mocha pot every morning. Afternoon and evening 1-2 cups of tea (teabag in a cup) and before bedtime, small class of kefir or orange/tomato juice.

That orange juice isn’t very good for your reflux.

I know, especially at night. Kefir helps your stomach, always recommend having a small glass full at night 🙂

 

[Gel Man]

Only occasional cup of coffee (once every few days). And I cannot have coffee after 11am, otherwise I can't sleep well in the night!

I am starting to experience this too. I must be getting old. After say 3 pm I can’t drink tea or coffee. Or anything at all after 6pm.

That is interesting, I drink more coffee than tea but sounds like it should be the other way around.

I have 600ml mugs, 2 of coffee in the morning, then 2 of Assam tea, lunchtime and early afternoon. followed by decaff tea the rest of the day, so I can sleep.

Decaff is a good option. Not sure I could drink 600ml mugs!

I drink the tea or coffee and, leave the mugs!😛

Late to this topic. Two to three cups of tea between getting up in the morning and going to work (6am - 8am) Then I make up one of those contigo thermos mugs of tea. Finish that by 10am. Have another 2 of those at work. Probably have another 5 cups of tea between getting home from work and going to bed.

 

[Jasonovich]

I'm having my last cuppa now.
I don't know why having tea late in the evening taste awful, I seldom finish the cup?

You must be a slow metaboliser like me then

How Fast Do You Process Caffeine? Here is How to Know - Gene Food

Variants in the CYP1A2 genes determine how quickly we metabolize caffeine. Slow metabolizers report greater side effects when drinking caffeinated drinks.

Probably your reflux, tea sometimes don’t taste good to me and I struggle to finish a cup because you get full quickly too.

Yes that makes a lot of sense. When I was younger, it was Tea almost every hour, all day. Your metabolism starts to going weird, when you start to age.
The best drink at night is Kefir, get the Polish one, it's more natural. 🙂

 

[Jasonovich]

Not exactly a drink but a good meal to have if you suffer from reflux.
Try Turkish Cacık or Greek tzatziki - same thing.
A lot of their foods are the same but they call it their own but in truth most of it originated from the Levante in the Middle East.

Here's the ingredients if you're interested

2 cups plain yogurt - try get hold of Süzme or Greek yoghurt
10 mini cucumber or English cucumbers peeled and finely diced
1 tsp. salt, more or less to taste
4 to 5 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 cup fresh mint ( i prefer) or dill weed, finely chopped or 1 tsp. dried dill weed (also good)

Mix it all up in a bowl with a big salad spoon
1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil or rapeseed oil (optional)

If you like it spicy hot, not good for reflux, is nice gives it a good kick; you can
¼ tsp. hot red pepper flakes or sweet paprika (optional)

Bon Aperitif 🙂

I drink quite a number of tea, which isn't good for you. For the last 2 years I've been drinking decaff tea & coffee not quite as nice but still very drinkable.

Haven't tried fruit teas though. The smell alone puts me off.

Every now and then I have my Earl Grey with a dab of milk. You should see my wife's collection of tea, orange fusion and Jasmine....UrghK!

I did go through a patch where I drank herbal/fruit teas after 16:00 I slept better but boy did I miss the nice strong flavour of regular tea.

I buy my tea from DJ Miles Tea & Coffee here in West Somerset. Their Assam is excellent and, their decaf tea is way ahead of any supermarket teabags. I buy both loose.
