How much of this sweet nectar do you drink a day?

I think coffee and video game production pretty much go hand in hand. I usually drink a modest 6cups - according to the coffee maker - or 3 actual cups.

I have at least 2 Medium Mild coffee's from Blendz. With the odd energy drink mixed in there depending on the night before.

<3 me some coffee.

When I first got into this industry I was terrible: ~ 6 mugs a day.

Now I have an espresso in the mornings when I don't go to the gym (so maybe 3/7 days a week), and sometimes a coffee late afternoon if it's going to be a late night and I'm fading (maybe once a week).

I feel much better. But I do love sipping those espressos in the morning when I can.

Normally only a cup, black, for me a morning. The office coffee is made super strong..

5 or 6 cups

2 or 3 actual mugs.


It's a definite addiction. I'm gonna wean myself off of it eventually.

I don't think I will ever drink coffee... so for those (like myself) wtf can we do to last those late nights without this "sweet nectar" as you call it?

AND NO ENERGY DRINKS!

for some reason I can't stand the taste of coffee too bitter, all though I am addicted to chai latte's...

dont feel right without starting the day off with a 4 shot latte from JJBean.
mmmmmm coffees

I drink a ridiculous amount of office doo-doo coffee.

Jason: If you don't like coffee, try black tea.

Any tea. You may have to drink a lot to get the equivalent amount of caffine, but it's a great alternative.

Usually, 1 "venti" Americano every morning. Throughout the day, usually 1 or 2 other mugs of coffee. I used to be really bad, years ago, topping off at around 8 - 10 a day. I've actually gotten to the point where, if I don't have "any" coffee, I'll probably get sick.

I usually get through four large mugs a day (black, quarter-teaspoon of sugar), and I literally just bought a thermos so I can carry some with me at all times. I can stop anytime I want, though.

Don't usually bother with energy drinks, though - the highs and crashes seem more extreme than with even strong coffees. Though I did hear a commercial recently for this flavorless caffeine additive you can add to any drink called Fein (not available in stores), but I can't seem to find any information on it at all. Maybe the FDA decided it was too dangerous.

2-3 a day to be alert and productive. Kicking into overdrive is 5-6 cups for me. I've had as many as 20 cups in a day, though that's also with half-caffeinated coffee beans.

I'd be pretty miserable without that wonderful beverage.

I do enjoy tea, but it's often got to be sweetened too much to be enjoyable (imo) and I just flat out prefer the taste of coffee over it, anyways..

tea, milk no sugar ta very much; just as God intended it

havnt any of you developed any serious stomach problems with downing this much coffee?
I used to have 2-3 a day when i was going through college but rite around the end of my final year i developed an ulcer and had to really cut it back. Nowadays i'l have maybe 2 or 3 cups a week at most or else i start to feel like shit. I find more than anything a good diet and light exercise gives me more stable and constant energy throughout the day

Yeah, I started getting pains a few years ago. Back then though, I was drinking lots of sugar and since then have pretty much just been drinking it black. Seems to have helped me at least

I've gotten a lot better. I'm down to usually 1/2 to a full 16oz rockstar per day (eq to about 2-4 shots of espresso or so). Though some days I'll get a venti starbucks iced doubleshot (6 shots of espresso over ice with choice of milky product over it) in addition to the regular.

My highest amount I think was something along the lines of 2g of caffeine over the course of a day via beverages. 2 or 3 24oz rockstars and a few starbucks things.

One shell station near a place I worked had "wild buzz" energy drink in the soda fountain. That was great. effectively a 44 or 60oz redbull for under $2. Didn't last long though.

Right on

1 mug of the office swill first thing in the morning and usually in the afternoon around 3pm a few of us will make a coffee run to one of the local shops for the good stuff. I drink it black, no sugar, the way the gods intended. I miss my Tim Hortons something fierce. =\

mostly 4 big mugz,

and twice a week or so i go out for real fresh coffee, and get like this big soupbowl of coffee,
think its like 0.4 liter or so XD

Well... you could always crush up some No Doz (caffeine tablets) and put the powder in whatever drink you want.

And yea I loves me the Joe... If I can see through it you're not brewing it right. If its too bitter then you're drinking the wrong stuff, just like beer.
