Caffeine - America’s #1 addiction - what’s your source?

[K-9]

Looks like we need to start drinking more of it.

I'm down to a half cup of coffee per day.  My wife makes french press in the morning, which I personally hate doing because it's fussy, but about half a cup in, nature does its work, I brush my teeth, and then I'm done with it for the day.

I was a cup in the morning type of guy...until my wife got the Nespresso machine.  Love it.  Good, strong coffee in the morning.  Double shot of espresso when I’m feeling sluggish in the afternoon.  Keeps me going.

I should be in good shape - maybe we need to start swimming in the stuff.

I worked at a place during college where I'd grind beans.

Customers asked me if smelling it all day drove me crazy and I told them I love the smell but hate the taste.

My wife is making me a 10 cup pot of Thai Tea.

I can't be the only degenerate who consumes energy drinks.

 

One large mug of coffee at home, one 30oz or so travel mug filled before work. Usually that's it, but if I have to pull a longer day I'll get a large $0.99 coffee and throw a couple of the stok espresso shots in there as well. On reeeaaalllly long days or drives I'll grab a Monster Rehab or two.  Used to drink a Rehab or two every day but switched to black coffee almost exclusively a couple years back. No sugar either, don't want the beetus.

I did not drink coffee until I was in my 30's, but I think I was addicted from the first sip I took. I was on a trip and had brought hot tea with me, but it ran out, so I got some at a gas station and just loved it. Drink it everyday now

Coffee. 2 cups a day. 
 

I make a cup at home and throw it in a travel mug to drink on my drive in. The second cup I usually have on my lunch break. My one rule is no caffeine after 1 pm.

 

oh and of course my coffee is almost always pumpkin spice.

I also find this surprising - I won’t say how for several reasons but I am aware of an “Honor system” vending service that will tell you energy drinks are by far the most stolen item.

 

There does seem to be a generational aspect to the stuff as it looks like millennials are more likely to drink it as compared to older farts like me.

 

No doubt the “energy” comes from a high intake of caffeine per “dose” (list of caffeine quantities per typical source):

 

 

8 ounces (oz) of brewed coffee – 95 mg

1 oz of espresso – 64 mg

8 oz of brewed tea – 47 mg

16-oz average energy drink – 158 mg

12-oz average caffeinated soda – 45 mg

1.55-oz milk chocolate candy bar – 9 mg
