How many cups of coffee should you drink a day?

[Bmck63]

• You live longer! (4-5 cups a day)
• Helps with depression (at least 2 cups a day)
• Liver cancer reduced by 44% (2 cups a day)
• 84% reduction of Liver Cirrhosis (4+ cups a day)
• Reduced risk of Parkinson's (5+ cups a day)
• 33% lower risk of Type 2 Diabetes (6 cups a day)
• Improves blood flow to heart (3 cups a day)

NOTE: If you are pregnant, refrain from coffee. Studies show that it can lead to low birth weight or even still birth. You can have up to 200mg a day of caffeine, but better safe than sorry.

Good information. I would like to add here that coffee without milk and sugar is considered better. But most people in India serve coffee with milk and sugar. It is common here that if you order a hot cup of coffee in any restaurant then you won't be given black coffee, but with milk and sugar.

How do they know how much milk and sugar to put into the coffee before they serve it to you? Do they just add a little of each, and then you can add more if you want?

Generally, they add milk and sugar in a quantity like one cup of milk + 2 to 3 teaspoons of refined sugar. In India, there is a default mentality among people that if you are ordering a hot cup of coffee then you will get it as shown in this image:



But, there is an option for "black coffee" also. You need to say it specifically to the waiter or your host that you want a cup of "black coffee (without sugar)".

Usually 2 or 3, but sometimes and more...

Thank you for the useful information, I always thought that I do not drink 3 cups of coffee every day

I drink a minimum of 48oz just at work a day. Freshly ground with a aeropress.

I have one big cup (500 ml.) And I drink 1-3 of these per day, with milk)

Usually 4, but I'm trying to drink less. In time it became like fuel to me: I'm not looking for any flavour or joy, bottoms up and let's make more.

I try to stick to 2 cups of coffee per day. I have started drinking my coffee with honey, it's pretty good!
