I am worried that I drink too much at once. I don’t drink coffee daily but typically when I do drink coffee I will have 4-6 shots of espresso. I am not asking if this is healthy per se, I’m more searching for confirmation that it isn’t too uncommon lol.
If anyone does want to let me know how bad for me this is then it should be noted that I also take a medium dose of vyvanse daily 💀
Comparison is irrelevant. It’s entirely up to your response to those stimulants, short- and long-term. For starters, the half-life of caffeine can be 3-8 hours in healthy adults, which is completely unrelated to sensitivity, which really matters, for which there is no objective test.
I used to drink up to 3 shots of espresso per day. Then I got my first amalgam filling, and coffee started causing muscle tension that I had to medicate. Over the years, my tolerance deteriorated, irritability got worse, and now more than a year after removing that amalgam, I still can’t handle any amount of coffee daily. One shot makes me feel worse. Quarter shot stimulates but makes me angry, and then ruins the next night’s sleep.
I don’t know what’s broken, but having had chronic inflammation and likely malabsorption in the small intestine because of slow (IgG) food allergies even before the amalgam is probably related. The gut is fine now, been for a year, after two decades of IBS. I can have a cup of decaf per day for a week before the muscle tension gets bothersome.
There’s a book “Amalgam Illness: diagnosis and treatment” which helped a bit. Mainstream healthcare was useless against the IBS.
15g in a French press for the morning.
Afternoon maybe a mate / green tea if I am feeling adventurous and wanting to get plenty done with headphones on.
Two. Depending on the situation, maybe two shots, two coffees, two decafs, or two hours.
But definitely not after 2pm. I need to sleep later.
fwiw I don’t think 4-6 shots is too for out of the norm if not daily. Double-shots are not uncommon, and 2-3 of those on occasion seems rather reasonable. I just would hope you drink a good amount of water the rest of the day. Now if you mean that you downing 6 double-shots… are you Dan Campbell?
I drink so much fucking water bro you have no idea. I take diuretics for a kidney issue I have and combining that with coffee (another diuretic) is absurd. I piss so damn much 😭
This is something I definitely needed to know about
Its something I need to complain about lol
In a day, or at a single time?
I think that a typical cup for me is 16oz, and I usually have 3-4 in a day (usually one at home, and 2-3 at work). My spouse’s cup is 20oz, but they only have one in a day.
2 espressos per day. Sometimes 3.
I drink 1-2 Americano’s every day. Double shot of course. When I was drinking drip I would drink 8-10 cups which was a lot. Getting an espresso machine has definitely helped me cut back
I have one cup first thing in the morning and that’s it lol if I drink more caffeine than that I’ll feel like I want to start crawling up the walls!
Same, I have a one cup rule. Just a standard, drip, black. 2 cups in a day and I’m uncomfortably wired.
I go for one cream and two sugars, but same basic concept lol
I got a tiny coffee maker that just just makes one cup at a time and it’s perfect!
Most days I don’t drink coffee, but on days I do it’s usually around 6+ cups.
5 cups of half calf over 3-4 hours
Maybe a cup or two a day. If that.
This is more than I drink on a daily basis but I don’t think it’s too crazy. I usually drink 2-3 cups of drip coffee on weekdays and 4 espresso shots on weekend days.
Dunno mate. There are worse things you could be doing. “searching for confirmation that this isn’t too uncommon” sounds like a recipe for a boring life. If you’re worried about your health (but your not, you said so) ask your doctor as situations vary.
I grind 27 to 28 grams of beans (depending upon whether i use a 16:1 or 15:1 ratio) for a cup of around 430ml of brewed pour over coffee.
One pourover in the morning, one pourover after lunch. Under exceptional circumstances, a double espresso in the afternoon. Very rarely if ever more than that.
I have a 6 shot latte that I sip throughout the morning.
