Loose leaf tea, re-steeped several times over the course of the day. The caffeine content goes down with each successive stepping, but good quality whole leaves will still let you get several cups out of them.
I stop making it at 3, which usually gives me enough time to metabolize it and sleep normally.
One cup of coffee with milk in the morning
2-3 regular sized coffee mugs a day.
preworkout, 400mg/day before training, ofc not if I rest
Probably between 200-300mg. I would never do caffeine pills, as I enjoy my methods of caffeine consumption.
Typically, I'll either drink a 2-cup moka pot, or some espresso. I never drink drip or French press coffee. Too bland. Turkish coffee is also good, but I don't get that too often.
If not coffee, it's usually Monster rehabs or Celsius. Tea is more for enjoyment than the caffeine content.
Zero.
There are too few of us.
None anymore. It took me a while to realize the the most energetic and level headed people that I know in my life don't even consume caffeine.
Caffeine addition keeps you permanently tired and getting the next hit just brings you back up closer to to the energy levels of people who don't consume it.
It is hard as hell to quit because it is so addictive, but the other side is so much better..
I used to drink nearly 2 litres per day. Then I got an allergic reaction to it, including sudden coffee aversion. I no longer drink coffee, because it gives me eczema, not worth it.
Do not overdo your coffee drinking if you like it!
I tried to eliminate caffeine to reduce anxiety in combination with my ADHD meds.
My morning routine without coffee was hard; decaf helped a lot though. Ultimately didn’t kick the addiction though.
If I may be so bold, 400mg is a lot. Your body habituates, so why push the envelope?
1-3 cups of coffee per day. I try to keep it low, with little success.
I like to boof a pot of coffee in the morning.
The silent majority has been real silent in this thread — but thank you for speaking up for proper technique.
I somewhat recently found out my SO thought boofing was just chugging. The revelation and explanation changed the meaning of a decade of jokes in an instant.
Hell yeah
I snort it directly off of my The Real Book
The most proper use for a Real Book.
I don’t
2 double espressos to start the day, 3-4 more singles throughout the day. Cutoff for coffee is 7pm, and I usually have 1-2 hot green teas in the evening to wind down.
It’s one of my last remaining vices of significance, very tough for me to get going without caffeine and I get a headache by mid afternoon if I don’t get me some by then.
I’m surprised at most of the people in this thread with their minimal intake. Good for you I guess. To the boofers: I get it, but just not for me.
I drink three cups of coffee a day, first thing in the morning. If there is caffeine in something else I consume I am ignorant of it.
Fair enough
Occasionally, energy drinks as I like the fruity taste of some of them. Otherwise, I don't consume heavily caffeinated drinks.
400 Mg? sounds orders of magnitude beyond lethal. How do you even shove all that into your system?
Thats like 4 standard cups of coffee throughout the day lol. I strictly work 12 hour shifts. So, on my overnights I do about 100 mg on the way in and a few more coffees/energy drinks through the night. If I go to the gym I do another 100 mg right before I start lifting. Day shifts I'll do 100 on the way in and usually a mid day coffee or a coffee before I hit the gym. I also have ADHD so caffeine hits me kinda weakly.
Oh, ok so that was only a 10⁹ times more... No biggie. LOL.
Anyway, as long as you're able to sleep well, it should be ok. Personally, I think 2 cups (2*200 ml) is a good amount for me. The exact amount of caffeine that contains depends on the type of coffee beans I use. The concentration in the drinkable liquid should be around 300 mg/l, but who knows really. Dark roast will have less than light roast. In any case, that could be something like 2cups/d *0.2 l/cup *300 mg/l = 120 mg/d. Compared to that, I would still say your caffeine intake is a lot higher than mine.
Anyway, as a fun thought experiment, I looked up what caffeine costs and what it would take to buy 400 Mg of it. Sigma-Aldrich/Merck sells 25 kg drums of this stuff and they charge only 1060 € for each. What a bargain for food grade caffeine!
That means, you would need to order 16 000 drums of it. That will be quite a few pallets. Is that going to be more than a single lorry? Don't worry about it. It will cost you only 16 960 000 €, so I guess now would be a good time to start a company to get those tax deductions on chemical orders. On the other hand, you might actually want to contact one of the many factories that produce decaf beans and ask for a better price. All of that caffeine has to go somewhere, right?
Usually, I would recommend using gloves, respirator, full hazmat suit etc. when handling this kind of cargo, but in this case that would kinda defeat the purpose.

I think it's a joke about Mg vs mg.
Exactly. Capital letters matter in science and technology.
Lol
Varies a lot. Usually coffee but I'll sometimes do soda as well, especially if I have a migraine. Sometimes I'll just do one cup but other times I'll have it all day.
Half-caf, three cups per day (about 150mg total).
That adds up to a caf and a half.
1.5 caf
Completely random amounts of black coffee and espresso, ranging from an entire pot or 4+ shots of espresso a day to months without bothering.
minimum of 1 cup of coffee and 1 cup of tea per day. sometimes more.
i can't drink caffeine after 3pm or coffee after noon.
No need for me to comment. This guy has me covered.
Except I can drink caffeine in the evening too, IDGAF
My caffeine intake fluctuates in an almost cyclical pattern. I'll injest a lot to the point of ineffectivness, then scale back to nothing, then slowly ramp up again. It's not purposefull, just a natural progression I tend to follow.
Right now, I'm off it completely. I'll stay this way until I have a day where I'm really tired. I'll break down and have a cup of coffee. That's usually the breaking point for me.
At the max, a day could be two Monster energy drinks, four to five 12oz cups of coffee, and an occasional cup of black tea. A few days at this point and I feel nothing from it, and begin to scale back.
I haven't gotten to that level since starting on ADHD meds. Turns out I was self medicating without realizing it.
I enjoy a pot of spiced black tea, usually a chai blend with cinnamon, ginger and cloves. Sometimes I will add cocoa powder and pour the tea over that with sugar and milk to make a chai tea/hot cocoa drink that is a highlight of my day.
Coffee, yerba mate and cola.
No idea how that works out in mg, but I have 2 or so coffees a day, both of which are double shots, and then normally a mate and/or a pepsi or two
Sometimes I drink 3 or 4 coffees in a day, but I tend to go down to single shots after the 2nd one
I boof a couple cups of coffee in the morning then maybe an energy drink in the afternoon. I'm guessing 2-400 mg caffeine per day right up the bum.
However much is in the chocolate bar I eat once or twice a week.
Yerba mate 🧉 when i have a few hours to chill and don't work the next day, occasionally soda too under the same conditions, although I almost never buy soda for myself because it has been tasting like shit in the last few years in my country. I wouldn't say a lot unless i have both because I tend to drink a lot of liquid
I've previously had a caffeine addiction and didn't particularly enjoy it. So I make it a point to not have it daily. I'd say I usually have 1 small caffeinated soda with alcohol per week and a regular 8.4 oz Red Bull at some point during the week. So probably in total a little under 200 mg per week
The nice thing is that since I don't consume much caffeine if I do want a kick I can have 120 mg and really feel it, but that's usually reserved for particularly long days or days where my sleep gets messed up

I don't feel like caffeine even effects me that much. I might have an energy drink few hours before bed and I'll sleep just fine. Same as with coffee - I drink it for the taste. Generally around 3 cups (400ml each) per day.
I buttchug a liter of cold brew at 0430 every morning.
I don't intentionally consume caffeine. No coffee. Only herbal tea. No energy drinks. There might be some in chocolate, but I don't eat much chocolate.
When I was a kid my whole family were like coffee fiends. Couldn't get going without a cup. I never wanted to be like that.
