An interesting read for coffee drinkers,i’m a tea drinker.
I’m a coffee lover, but my main coffee consumption is Nescafe and only about 1/4 tsp to a mug. Occasionally I’ll also drink a latte or Timmie’s but it’s not very often.
I used to be a big coffee drinker and I have cut back a lot, which is a good thing because I even ended up in the hospital because I was dehydrated from drinking way to much coffee
The old rule works: Everything in moderation. It counts for coffee, too. Mine has to be dark, and preferably French pressed.
Coffee is addictive, lots of people drinking way too much .

I love my coffee but I drink it in moderation.
I don’t drink coffee except the VERY occasional French Vanilla (thanks to my wife for introducing that to me).
I drink at least one cup of tea a day…never really got into coffee even though Starbucks is everywhere!!!
I live for coffee!! Seriously.. I couldn’t deal with life, otherwise..
Im a tea guy by the morning.. and a coffee dude by night.
with this routine its fine
I try to limit my coffee intake to a couple cups a week. But int he summer months when we are in our travel trailer, I drink a cup a day.
LOL I am no where near limiting my intake to a cup a day. Usually I have a constant cup in my hand and usually drink about 4 16oz cups a day. In the summer during travel it is at least that plus likely one or two ice caps as well.
Good to know about this. I re read it again.
I only drink coffee in the morning so probably won’t overdose on it to the point where I am no longer healthy.
If you are looking for a coffee like drink without the jitters then try Yerba Mate

Interesting read! I have never given too much thought into the coffee I drink (minus what I put IN it) but I think I will from now on
i am so confusedabout coffee… it does help me, not only to wake up but with headaches and general well being ., could be a placebo, but i have no other vices so i will stick with it.
