      How many do you drink a day? And what type?

      I drink 4 (skim milk + honey) and have been told by swimming coach that's too much. I'm thinking there are some who are far worse than that.

        I drink three black coffees a day. I read somewhere recently that 6 is the max you should have. I tend to have them on the bounce too (maybe a small delay between the second and third coffee's)

        I also never drink coffee after 2 pm (unless boozed and it is mixed with some alcohol in some way)

          you can also read that there is no upper limit. Basically have whatever you want that makes you feel good

          1. Breakfast. Pick one up on the way to work. 10.30

          Never after 12. No, check that, very very rarely after 12.

            I presume when they talk of coffees they mean one standard shot?

                We used to have a Starbucks in our cafeteria and I would have 8 or more a day because free coffee. Even if it had been good coffee that's way too many and I used to get withdrawal headaches at the weekends when I only had a couple a day. Don't do that, kids.

                Now I have one flat white a day when I'm in NZ and none in the UK, where the coffee is generally mediocre. One of the reasons I always look forward to NZ, because I love a good cup.

                @mariner4life ditto, I never have coffee in the afternoons / evenings.

                  work out at lunchtime helps. But i usually have a tea of some description mid-arvo. Herbal or black depending on how long since i was in China. No sugar no milk in that.

                    Up until 3 weeks ago one black plunger coffee a day, but my new minion at work goes to 7/11 and gets $1 coffee each day so I’ve been having those. Surprisingly good for $1 - although free for the month of August with your own cup!!!

                    I generally have a mocha on the weekend.

                      When you guys are hungover (like I am today due to being in Auckland for a birthday last night) do you find Coffee just makes the heart rattle along like the clappers?

                        not that i have noticed. Generally don't come to life until after one though

                        I know i am really hungover when i don't feel like coffee.

                            I hear that. More like "I'm too scared to have a coffee"

                                  As someone that exports coffee, you can never drink enough. I'd ignore a swimming coach on this topic that advises you otherwise.

                                        @Nepia I likes me a good Mocha too!

                                        I drink maybe 4 or 5 cups a day...having after certain times doesnt affect me.

                                        I am much better off than I was when I drank similar 2 or 3 years back with 2 sugars...now no sugar.

                                            where's the Fern bulk buying discount?

                                            Also, I've cut back to about 3-4 a day. If I'm meetinga lot of people in cafes, I switch to decaf... otherwise get the jitters. I try not to after lunch, but sometimes it just happens...

                                                I'd average 3 black coffees a day - most often plunger coffee and stronk af. I'm a dirty V drinker so I tend to have a can of that pretty regularly. Do try and watch out on the caffeine intake as we often take pre-workout at the gym and that shit has a bunch of caffeine.

                                                I've definitely had days where I know I've had too much, but I'm not that great at drinking water regularly so I reckon that doesn't help.

                                                But I've got a small child that likes to F with dad's sleep so unless I scull a strong coffee right before bed I have zero issues falling asleep. Unlike my missus who can't have coffee after midday or she'll be up all night. Wuss.

                                                      As someone that exports coffee, you can never drink enough. I'd ignore a swimming coach on this topic that advises you otherwise.

                                                      where's the Fern bulk buying discount?

                                                      Also, I've cut back to about 3-4 a day. If I'm meetinga lot of people in cafes, I switch to decaf... otherwise get the jitters. I try not to after lunch, but sometimes it just happens...

                                                      What's the point of decaf? The caf is the only reason for drinking it!

                                                      Once visited family in Germany and had a very early flight home. My uncle being a typical German packed a thermos with coffee. Had two of them and was wondering why it was having no effect. He later casually mentioned it was bloody decaf. It's as useless as non-alcoholic beer.

                                                        I too watch my figure 😉, which is why I have black coffee everyday except Saturday when I gay it up apparently!

                                                        Does your boyfriend prefer it Black? 🙂

                                                              I'd average 3 black coffees a day - most often plunger coffee and stronk af. I'm a dirty V drinker so I tend to have a can of that pretty regularly. Do try and watch out on the caffeine intake as we often take pre-workout at the gym and that shit has a bunch of caffeine.

                                                              I've definitely had days where I know I've had too much, but I'm not that great at drinking water regularly so I reckon that doesn't help.

                                                              But I've got a small child that likes to F with dad's sleep so unless I scull a strong coffee right before bed I have zero issues falling asleep. Unlike my missus who can't have coffee after midday or she'll be up all night. Wuss.

                                                              My old man used to drink coffee before he went to bed. Routine or something I guess. Think coffee replaced his 60 a day Camel habit. Should probably be dead but the lucky bugger just turned 84 and is fit as a fiddle.

                                                              I drink one of those V/Red Bull type drinks when I have to drive my son to swimming practice at 4:30 in the morning. That's 3 mornings a week now and I'm getting a bit addicted. What's the verdict on those types of drinks? I'm guessing not recommended.
