How many cups of tea/coffee do you get through at work?

Respect. I accidentally let my caffeine addiction tick up and up by first developing a diet coke addiction. I've kicked the (diet) coke habit now, have substituted it for tea, and am now trying to get down to 0. I don't like feeling dependant on something, regardless of if I enjoy it.

2-3. last cup will be midday.

[-]

CtrlShiftAaron@reddit

I used to drink 13 cups a day during work hours

I’m down to 2-3 now

[-]

JustNoGuy_@reddit

None because I don't take breaks.

[-]

Polz34@reddit

I don't drink tea or coffee BUT I do have a sugar free energy drink each morning. And occasionally a peppermint tea

[-]

Temporary-Zebra97@reddit

Usually a coffee every 40-60 mins. Sometimes more sometimes less, depending on meeting volume.

[-]

ConsciousSky5968@reddit

2 coffees in the morning, 2 decaf earl grey, 2 herbal teas.

[-]

yaffle53@reddit

One at 10, one at 3.

[-]

thewoefulchasm@reddit

3 coffees in the morning, I dread to think how many teas in the afternoon but definitely a lot 🤣

[-]

HappyHits@reddit

5

[-]

MaleficentUnion2804@reddit

1 or 2 cups of oolong tea. I’ve been drinking the one from PiPi it’s slightly sweet but still gives a nice energy boost without feeling too heavy

[-]

adamneigeroc@reddit

3 in the morning and 2 in the afternoon for me

[-]

VFrosty3@reddit

I’ve cut down massively in the last couple of years, in the hope it’d sort out my sleep health and my mental health. I currently have 1-2 cups of tea a day and aim to not have any after midday. Before that, I was drinking about 5-8 cups a day.

[-]

tinkabellmiggins@reddit

I drink 2 big mugs of filter coffee in the morning, about 2/3s of a pot. I make a full pot of decaf around 11 and drink that during the day.

[-]

KookyFarmer7@reddit

Generally 2, one cup of each.

I bring my own with me cause the coffee at my office is basic instant coffee that tastes nasty.

[-]

PartTimeLegend@reddit

I work from home. It’s 11:15am and I’ve had 4 cups of tea.

[-]

grazerline@reddit

Anywhere between 3 or 4 in the morning, and a couple in the afternoon. I tend not to have sugar in the afternoons as 6 teaspoons a day is a lot! I used to believe I was sensitive to caffiene but I can drink coffee until the evening and still sleep reasonably well.

[-]

atinywaverave@reddit

I make like 10. I actually manage to drink about 3

[-]

Extreme-Banana-9@reddit (OP)

What happens to the other 7?!

[-]

atinywaverave@reddit

They go cold on the side in the staff kitchen because I forget or don't get time to drink them!

[-]

InviteAromatic6124@reddit

None, I don't drink either. I don't need caffeinated drinks to get me through a day.

[-]

UndulatingUnderpants@reddit

4 or 5

[-]

Strong_Roll5639@reddit

Usually 2 but they're decaf 😆

[-]

QueefInMyKisser@reddit

Two or three coffees then two or three teas then two or three herbal teas

[-]

AlfCosta@reddit

I have a black coffee on the go all day

[-]

Extreme-Banana-9@reddit (OP)

I've just recently switched to black coffee at work, do you take it with sugar?

[-]

AlfCosta@reddit

No. Tbh, I’m a tea drinker but I had to radically cut down after I had kidney stones. Now I mainly drink cheap black coffee. It’s not the same but I refuse to spend too much money on it. I’ll save that for my evening cup of tea ha!

[-]

AllThatIHaveDone@reddit

None, tea and coffee are undrinkablely bitter to me.

[-]

Extreme-Banana-9@reddit (OP)

What do you drink at work?

[-]

AllThatIHaveDone@reddit

Water or orange squash.

[-]

iloovehugecock@reddit

I have a matcha in the morning and then sometimes an iced coffee at lunch. That’s it b

[-]

Extreme-Banana-9@reddit (OP)

Very nice

[-]

dreamribbons@reddit

2 cups of coffee in the office, 1 if I'm wfh. The worst thing is I end up nursing them so they're cold by the time I end up finishing them 🫠

[-]

MangoonianLord@reddit

Counting or not counting decaf?

[-]

Extreme-Banana-9@reddit (OP)

Counting both

[-]

GrabbedByTheGhost@reddit

Everyone posting here needs to read up on how unfiltered coffee (pretty much all bean to cup machines and several others) raises your LDL cholesterol over time.

This is relatively new research. But its worth a read.

[-]

Extreme-Banana-9@reddit (OP)

I'll definitely research thanks

[-]

SGRiggall@reddit

About 3/4 but it playing havoc with my stomach at the moment so I’ve stopped for a bit

[-]

Extreme-Banana-9@reddit (OP)

Its creating havoc with mine too in the mornings

[-]

PuzzleheadedCarob921@reddit

Zero

[-]

Extreme-Banana-9@reddit (OP)

Fair enough

[-]

wondered-bongo@reddit

Maybe 5 or 6. I have to pee all the time

[-]

Extreme-Banana-9@reddit (OP)

Relatable

[-]

barriedalenick@reddit

I used to work night shift with free coffee. 12 hour shifts = 12 cups of coffee! The cycle home was great but I normally required a few glasses of wine to calm down once I got home

[-]

superwisk@reddit

Depends how annoying coworkers are being.

[-]

Extreme-Banana-9@reddit (OP)

Very true

[-]

asterallt@reddit

These replies have made me feel so much better. I tend to have 3-4 instant a day at home. In the office I start with a four shot coffee then maybe have another two flat whites. I think I’m more concerned about the fucking milk than caffeine at this stage.

[-]

Extreme-Banana-9@reddit (OP)

Can't beat a frothy coffee tbh

[-]

OptionalQuality789@reddit

I have a morning coffee when I log on. Maybe an afternoon one rarely.

[-]

BaBaFiCo@reddit

Probably 3-6 cups of tea over the day.

[-]

Extreme-Banana-9@reddit (OP)

No coffee?

[-]

BaBaFiCo@reddit

I don't drink coffee.

[-]

deppyjon@reddit

2-3 coffees a day every day pretty much regardless of what’s going on

[-]

Extreme-Banana-9@reddit (OP)

I am the same on a workday! Weekends is usually just the one

[-]

WelshBen@reddit

Used to be about 7 or 8 but now i've got it down to 1 or 2. Constantly making and then drinking tea/coffee really saps productivity.

[-]

Extreme-Banana-9@reddit (OP)

Agreed! Max 2 hot drinks in the work day for me now

[-]

Hertstom@reddit

3 first thing, no more after

[-]

VolcanicBear@reddit

3 coffees, all in the morning. I avoid alcohol after midday unless I know I'll be drinking/smoking that evening.

[-]

AXX-100@reddit

2/3

[-]

Particular-Lime1651@reddit

1 coffee in the morning before, 1 when I start, last 1 late morning, then 2 teas in the day. Water in the evening at home. Sooo 5 total

[-]

MuayJudo@reddit

Relatively rookie numbers from me I imagine, and I don't drink coffee. One tea in the morning, one after lunch to pick me up.

[-]

Obvious-Water569@reddit

Maybe three a week.

I made some pretty big diet and lifestyle changes at the start of this year. Lost two and a half stone and, as an unexpected benefit, I've kicked my caffiene addiction.

These days I tend to just get a coffee to warm my hands up.

[-]

Ready-Fox-3264@reddit

It’s usually 2 x coffee and 3 x tea

[-]

tannercolin@reddit

One before work, one at morning break

We have free lavazza coffee all day at work, half the staff are wired all day. I was the same initially but would get horrendous anxiety around midday without fail.

[-]

BalthazarOfTheOrions@reddit

I don't drink tea. Given that I am a coffee addict it fluctuates wildly because on occasion I try to go caffeine free for a few months.

These days I stop after 2-3 at work, when I worked at an Italian restaurant in my 20s it wasn't unusual for me to have 5-6 espressos per shift.

[-]

Kaiisim@reddit

Cup of coffee then upto 3 teas.

Tbh the way we make tea in the UK it's really tea flavoured hot water.

I don't find the caffeine affects me

[-]

markusparkus75@reddit

Two coffees before 12 pm. Strictly herbal teas after that.

[-]

griffaliff@reddit

Sometimes one coffee in the morning, but usually none of either. Just water and the occasional afternoon can of Red Bull.

[-]

GALM-1UAF@reddit

I work from home and used to do 2 a day. Now zero. Making sure to get to bed on time helps. I love coffee and prefer it when it’s a weekend at a nice coffee shop so I can actually enjoy it. Realised coffee so early makes me quite anxious in the morning so staying off it for now.

[-]

AminaRain@reddit

None. Sometimes herbal or rose tea (decaf) once or twice a week, but generally none.

[-]

Scared-Room-9962@reddit

Used to have about 5 or 6 coffees.

But I suffer from migraines and headaches and in a bid to reduce this I've made huge reductions in things that trigger them, like cheese and caffeine.

Now I have 1 coffee a day (I get a headache if I don't lol)

[-]

Savanarola79@reddit

Generally 0 cups ☕️

[-]

Heathy-Heatherson@reddit

Like 3 or 4?

[-]

Heathy-Heatherson@reddit

Like 3 or 4 in office, 4 or 5 WFH?

[-]

sneddsdead@reddit

2-3 depending if I grab one before I start

[-]

highrouleur@reddit

One at 6, one at 10

[-]

wildflower12345678@reddit

1, at my meal break, usually about 8pm, because that's the only chance I get.

[-]

negras@reddit

Used to be 3 by 9am, every meeting requires a fresh cup of tea.

[-]

tulki123@reddit

Intravenous drip at this point

[-]

mdmnl@reddit

Six to twelve Americanos from the machine at work or a cafetiere-full if at home.

[-]

Jamie2556@reddit

I usually have two, but I’m only in for six hours and I try not to have caffeine after 3pm so it’s mainly just habit.

[-]

ServerLost@reddit

Three- morning, lunch and before exercise. Down from 10-12 in my real caffeine junky days.

[-]

undefetter@reddit

Depends on the day, the days which are all meetings with 30 minute gaps between them are the worst. What other option is there to do anything productive than go make a coffee to prep for the next meeting. Those days it can easily hit 7 or 8. Another contributing factor is it a WFH day or an Office day. I work 2 days a week in the office, and those days I drink easily 3x as much coffee that I do at home just because the office has a coffee machine and I don't have one at home!

Normal WFH Day: 1-3 Normal Office Day: 3-5 Meeting riddled Office day: 4-8
