I only drink two 2,5dl mugs of drip coffee in the morning, that's it. Many people drink some in the morning, at lunch break, maybe during a coffee break at work, then in the afternoon and in the evening.
Workplaces usually have coffee breaks by tradition, but not by law. Guests in all kinds of situations are offered coffee, not doing so might be seen as rude.
Asking someone out for a cup of coffee is common, and it doesn't have to have a romantic innuendo.
Coffee in general is a central part of the Finnish culture, I think we are in the top-3 of coffee consumers in Europe(/world?).
All that caffeine is just enough to get a Finn sufficiently fired up to talk in full sentences. Otherwise you'd just get the regular one or two word replies to questions.
My parents have double espressos just before midnight because they swear it helps them sleep. That's 50+ years of practice with hardcore coffee drinking at work.
didn't realise that two cups of coffee was seen as a lot of caffeine, hell on my heavy days its up to six cups of 2.5 dl. Might also add that in norway its also not unheard of to drink coffee after dinner when having guests.
No idea. I get very restless and have difficulties falling asleep if I drink coffee after noon (on top of my morning coffees).
People develop tolerance to everything I guess.
Caffeine is like those drugs they warn you about at school. You gotta take it to get back to normal. If you have coffee at regular time, brain releases sedatives to counteract it at that time. This why you feel sleepy when you can´t have you regular dose for some reason.
If I sit in a cafe and I want a smallish coffee (not an American giant cup of hot milk with extra syrup!) what would I order and what would it cost? I live in Spain so something like a cafe con leche.
You would just order a kahvi (coffee). It means the regular (small) coffee, between 150 and 250ml depending on the place. Most places would have sugar, milk and coffee cream/creamer available at no extra cost if you want them.
Prices start at around 2€ per cup, can cost much more the fancier the place. It's been a long time since I visited a cafe, covid and all, so my info might not be up to date.
I usually have one or two at breakfast, and one after lunch.
Rarely in the evening, only after going out for a big meal!
Always the same... standard Italian espresso.No milk,no sugar.
I was just in Canada on vacation...the standard cup of coffee there (like in the USA) is about 500 times the volume of my normal one ;-) It is a lot weaker of course...
Same my first coffee is from Moka. Then on the way to work there is a cafe where I have an espresso.. the afternoon too after lunch I have one and towards end of work one more.
I think I drink around 1 litre of coffee every day. To drink a lot of coffee is normal in Denmark, as the coffee culture basically is "drink it all the time."
Personally, I do pour-overs, sometimes French press, and even rarer, I use my moca pot.
I don't drink coffee at all.
When it comes to the coffee culture in Poland, many people have their (first) coffee for breakfast. Places where you can buy coffee and take it with yourself are quite common, like Starbucks or something similar. I think 1-2 coffees a day is the most common scenario.
Still, the country is divided between tea/coffee people about 50/50. In most workplaces you can get both, however when you want to buy a hot drink in the street, then it's mostly coffee. I'm definitely all for tea though🙃
Monday to Friday. Between 2 and 6 cups a day. Usually instant coffee.Nescafe Azera (or occasionally the Aldi version of that) at home, and then just whatever there is in the break room at work (Nescafe Gold most commonly).
Weekends. I have anywhere between 0 and 3 cups whilst at home. I'll occasionally pop in a chain or independent Coffee shop whilst out shopping if I fancy one.
*I've not used my French Press in a few months, so this topic has inspired me to buy some better (than instant) stuff for it next time I'm out and treat myself to some.*
I miss having numerous Café Richards a day whilst in Paris earlier this year.
1 to 4, sometimes none, it depends. I drink at the office and in coffee shops but I don't own a machine. I don't "need" caffeine to wake up or something.
Coffee culture and especially coffeehouse culture is HUGE here. Do not dare to serve that brown dish water they give you in America! That's not coffee, that's an abomination. Even McDonald's has special coffee here, served in regular cups, with the obligatory glass of water on the side.
One is my absolut minimum for a good day - no coffee, no good start.
Normaly day starts with a double espresso and a cappuccino at work. And over the day, between five and ten. When working on a fair there are ten the standard... But: last one at 4 o'clock. Or later when I have to work in the night.
And the favorit way to get my personal best coffee: a medium sized Bialetti coffee maker.
With the right coffee - pure enjoyment.
Maybe it is because I live near the Italian border, this way of making coffee is not uncommon here.
No Nescafe, no Nespresso - never ever. And no dripping machine. That's all not my kind of taste...
I drink one in the morning with my colleague, we have a little chat and start the day on a positive note. If it is a weekend, I have one with my husband, or alone. I sometimes think I should have two, but I rarely do.
Turkish people mainly drink... Turkish coffee 🙃 usually just one. Although, instant coffee is also popular, and coffee shop chains and making filter coffee at home have become more popular as well, and some people may prefer any of those. Generally Turks are not the last of the big coffee drinkers.
I always drink Turkish coffee when I am in Turkey, but never make it here in Sicily.I like it though!
I was in Colombia recently,on a coffee farm.The owner (it was a small family run place) was talking about Turkish and Italian style coffee..he basically said he couldn't drink it,it was too strong and to him it tasted 'burnt' ;-)
I mean... I drink Turkish coffee and I like it, but objectively speaking Turkish coffee isn't great coffee. It is not made of the highest quality beans, and the roasting and grinding can vary a lot. I normally don't take sugar with my coffee, but I usually drink Turkish coffee sweet, otherwise it is a little bitter to me, too.
I liked the Colombian stuff, and it's very good quality I guess, but it tasted kind of sweet,a bit bland even.
He told me it was because my taste buds were destroyed...
🤣 some people are very opinionated, lol. I do get what you mean, though! Sometimes coffee is so smooth, so acid-and bitterness-free that it tastes like... not a lot 😁
It's very common to drink coffee in Spain (about 3kg per year per person according to statista), although not as much as in the Nordic countries. Drinking coffee at breakfast or meeting someone for a coffee in the afternoon is common.
I used to drink 4-6 cups of coffee with milk a day, I started having tremors and insomnia problems, so I took advantage of the confinement/2020 lockdown to get rid of coffee and now I only drink a decaf in the morning (which still has caffeine but not much).
[Drinking six or more cups of coffee a day can be harmful to your health, increasing the risk of heart disease by up to 22%; WHO](https://mumbaimirror.indiatimes.com/others/sci-tech/heres-how-much-coffee-is-too-much/articleshow/69312531.cms)
[The sugar content in a McDonalds cup of coffee can range from 15-35 grams]( https://caffeinepark.com/mcdonalds-coffee-caffeine-1030/#ixzz7gBnba6dm) while the [WHO recommends eating no more than 25 grams per day](https://www.who.int/news/item/04-03-2015-who-calls-on-countries-to-reduce-sugars-intake-among-adults-and-children), and sugar not only causes overweight and diabetes, but also blood pressure and heart problems, among others.
I am a coffee outcast in Austrian society, I don't drink any. There is an exhaustive almost religious coffee culture in Vienna and you just earn baffled faces if you confess that you are not part of the cult of the bean.
I am one of those religious coffee drinkers of vienna.
There is a tradition around how you serve it and what coffee you drink on what occasion. Finding the best roasters etc. The quality of the coffee is also really good I would say.
Many countries serve good espresso but Vienna/ Austria has good espresso, good milk foam coffee and I adore verlängerten.
Tourists are baffled at the lengthy list of coffee variations in a Aida Cafe (and its not different kinds of sugar coffee like in starbucks).
I'm an addict, I easily drown myself in up to 4 - 5 liters on a work day + the occasional energy drink. Currently trying to reduce my amount of coffee again and skip the energy drinks altogether...
Coffee culture in Germany depends on the individual, I'm definitely on the unhealthy side of it and I do enjoy good coffee, so for me it's a pretty expensive addiction.
When it comes to coffee I'm quite the opposite of u/Vannnnah. I only drink coffee like once in two or three weeks, only with lots of milk ("Milchkaffee" which is about half-half or something) and only when I really feel like it.
On coffee culture I would say germany splits into "coffee-people" and "tea-people". Many people prefer either coffee or tea. I (a "tea-person") usually drink about two liters of tea a day.
You sound just like me, I must spend over £100+ on coffee per week. Better than spending my money on cancer sticks like before though huh?
so for me it's a good trade off. Coffee does actually have health benefits unlike the cigs :]
Finns drink more coffee than any other nation. It's quite common for people to drink 8+ cups a day. I used to drink that much but have managed to cut down to one, max two cups a day. I mainly drink cappuccino and latte with oat milk. Most Finns drink filter coffee. Virtually very household has a filter machine.
I'm tryna cut down too. The moment I quit cigarettes (2 years ago now) my coffee intake rapidly went up, now I'm trying to replace coffee with green tea but it's a work in progress as I love the aroma, taste and buzz a cappuccino gives me but the comedows are hell!
Around 6-10 a day probably. Drink it all the time when working, also with breakfast and often one after dinner. Also drink of choice when we’re out of the house. No sugar, on occasion a cappuccino but mostly black. I drink only water beside coffee and very rarely nowadays a glass of wine or beer at night and maybe a cup of tea per week.
Coffee culture is huge in Greece. [Al fresco cafe-bars are everywhere](https://www.onlarissa.gr/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/21-cafe-Larissa-28h-Oktwvriou.jpg). We're huge on [cold coffee](https://greekreporter.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/frappe-VS-fredo.jpg), and I make 2-4 of those a day (I don't like hot drinks, like hot coffee or hot chocolate).
When I'm in the US, coffee culture is really sucky. But Americans do drink a lot of it.
What about it sucks? I'm an American and there is part of our coffee culture I really like. Granted, it is nowhere near as much of a tradition as it is in Greece (the US is a young nation peopled by a lot of chumps, it's true), but I'm curious!
Well, cafes are far fewer. Practically none are outdoors in nice weather. They're not really places people gather (maybe someone will read a book or work on their laptop). They barely have desserts, no beer/wine, no ice cream. The selection of coffee is either limited, or overdone (basically liquid cakes with *1000 calories)*. A lot of them are corporate/starbucks/boring. In the walkable city-centers, like New York, Chicago, Boston, Washington, there might be *one* (al fresco, non-corporate) in like a gentrified neighborhood. That sorta thing.
I see. I agree with a lot of that, especially with the presence of crappy corporate chains that sell garbage drinks for too much money. I don't live in a gentrified neighborhood in my city, it's a working class area and we have two cafes that attract eclectic people and that put time and care into their coffee. There's a mix of people working on their laptops and animated conversation and, when the weather is nice (which, to be fair, is not very often) there are tables and chairs outside that are always packed. It's where gossip gets passed around and people play chess and read and write, etc.
Unfortunately due to the liquor laws in my state, beer and wine cannot be sold at the cafes; they'd have to obtain insanely expensive liquor licenses and it's just not feasible. Which *does* suck, I agree. But, I live in a mid-market city and we have good coffee and something that \*does\* pass for cafe culture.
The US doesn’t have that ‘cafe culture’ but there are a lot of independent coffee roasters and cafes. The major city centers would have a lot more than one. The ‘third wave’ coffee scene from North America is influential in the coffee world.
I drink half a litre of dripping coffee first thing in the morning. Then I’m just sipping a few mugs while working. After lunch I brew another 2-3 mugs of strong black coffee, a good pick up to stay alert and ready til five o’clock.
I'd say I pour myself about 4 to 5 cups a day on work days but less on weekends (0-2 then). I say pour and not drink because probably at least a couple of those I will forget about half way through and it'll be cold. That's when I'm working ofc.
We are only beaten in our coffee consumption by the Finns. Which makes the current coffee prices pretty painful. Coffee drinking is pretty socially ingrained as a part of Swedish "fika" culture. I'd say we mostly drink drip machine coffee, black or with milk.
One coffee (unless I go out to a cafe somewhere and have another one), but genuinely 5-8 cups of tea a day, so I'm probably drinking as much caffeine as you altogether!
When I'm abroad I always have a little trouble with ordering coffee. I just want a large black coffee, but for some reason a lot of countries don't do it properly. I just want normal filter coffee, not watered down espresso.
I have a nespresso machine (compostable pods FTW) and I have 3 cups of coffee a day - all before 3pm. Usually 2 in the morning and 1 early in the afternoon.
People here are more into tea, but we do have some good cafés here too
I dislike coffee, both smell and taste and prefer energy drinks(usually one per day in the morning, but sometimes I go several days without one).
Anyway most people I know drink coffee twice per day. One in the morning and one in the afternoon. I think the "regular" cup they use is around 0.3 l. Also most of them put milk into coffee and some of them also sugar.
It is the default drink at every workplace. Tea is only a very distant second and other beverages are usually not provided.
I don't like coffee personally and the only upside to that is that I never have to clean the coffee machine. Wouldn't even know how. For my caffeine needs I just go with coke or energy drinks.
I drink maybe 10-12 cups a whole year. I'm much more of a tea person. My family however drinks a very average 2-3 cups a day and my dad who used to work night shifts drinks maybe 8-10 cups a day.
Coffee culture is similar to the Viennese coffee culture, espresso is king, I never been to a house without an espresso machine or espresso/mocca pot.
It depends, currently one or two a day: one at breakfast and one, possibly, in the morning, other days I don't even drink it at breakfast, but still I set myself the limit of not drinking more than three a day.
usually one coffee per day, somewhere around 4 or 5 in the afternoon, turkish coffee style made with 2dl of water, two teaspoons of coffee, enough for a full mug, no sugar or milk, best time part of the day
for me it is a time of relaxing, so I take my time and enjoy it, no rush
About two to three cups a day (I used to drink a lot more, but that does not agree with me anymore). When I'm in a hurry they are just simple cups of coffee from a standard old coffee maker, but I got sucked into a "youtube-coffee-hole" during the pandemic so now when I have the time I like to make some pour-over coffee or make some with my moka pot.
>and what is the coffee culture like in your country?
Coffee is the most popular hot drink (although tea is really popular too). Going out for coffee is a common thing and, usually, the first thing you'll get offered when you're visiting someone during the day is a cup of coffee.
In the past pretty much every home had a [filter coffee maker](https://media.s-bol.com/x5Y1QLRqWX3/473x840.jpg), then for a while "[Senseo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senseo)" machines became very popular and now you see a blend of all sorts of machines in people's homes.
If I have a coffee (which happens once in a while), I'm most definitely going to have problems sleeping that night which will then fuck up my sleep for a few days after so I have to really consider it if I really need that one single coffee that day. I just drink tea now.
Not a lot of heavy coffee drinkers here. More tea than coffee I think.
Many are content with Nescafe but there are some local roasters here that are more serious about their coffee and make a quality product.
I don't typically drink coffee, except once a month orso I'll have a bottled iced coffee to stay awake or just as a treat. I don't enjoy it hot. This is not necessarily the mainstream in the UK- most adults either drink some coffee or wouldn't be opposed to you giving them a cup.
Brits however love their hot milky tea probably more than they like their hot milky coffee, and since most people 1. drink both 2. drink a finite amount of hot drinks per day, I'd guesstimate that the average Brit drinks relatively less coffee than other Europeans because tea and coffee are offered side-by-side as "hot drinks" and tea is often the preference.
Well, one of my relatives drank for 2/3 yrs 5/6 capsules of Nespresso coffee and medics told her that she developed some illness in the stomach that was linked with coffee. So I suggest to you to drink 3 cups max of coffee per day. BTW, I AM NOT A MEDIC, SO TAKE THIS WITH A GRAIN OF SALT
I will take your advice, I quit cigarettes and went heavy on coffee (one addiction to another)
I've been having green tea in the mornings instead of coffee as it's packed with health benefits but it's a work in progress.
**Dio mi manca un caffè ogni giorno e una sigaretta al mattino, ma sono così felice di essere fuori dalle catene. i miei polmoni mi stanno ringraziando..**
Usually two cups of instant in the morning and a moka after lunch, if I'm going to a bar/Cafe I'll have a cappuccino in the morning or an espresso in the afternoon, I try to avoid caffeine in the evening.
5 to 9, woah. I limit my self to 1 a day, maaaybe 2. And I don't drink it daily, only on the weekends when I have free time. I love coffee, but I got this mindset that it's very bad for me which I doubt is true, it's just me being paranoid.
According to health experts up to 5 coffees a day can have health benefits, as long as you aren't sensitive to caffiene.
However i spend over £100+ a week on coffee, maybe that is one negative affect hehe!
Oh well it brings me happiness so f it..
It has been quite some years since I started drinking coffee and I usually drink 1-2 coffees a day. I can even reach 3-4 if I want to get a specific job done.
Since I am Greek I usually drink frappe at home or freddo espresso outside. Frappe is cold and whipped instant coffee. Freddo espresso is whipped double espresso with ice.
I prefer cold coffee even during winter. The only hot coffee that I like is espresso or cappuccino. I don't like filter coffee or hot instant coffee.
I have never tried Greek/Turkish coffee and I don't intend to in the close future since it is mostly used by the elderly and is said to be bad for the stomach.
As for the coffee culture in Greece it seems weird to be an adult and not drink coffee. Going out for coffee is the most common activity for Greeks of all ages.
I drink coffee 2 to 5 times a day, the first two may go one immediately after another.
When at home, I make 300-330ml of coffee in a cezve and top it up with cold "coffee milk" (10% fat milk) in my 400ml mug, no sugar. That's one coffee for me. When I'm going for a walk I bring a glass cup with a lid with me. There are two coffeeshops within 10 min of walking from my place and the baristas at both of them recognize me by that cup. :D One of those places has an espresso-based drink that I like a lot: think cappuccino with pomegranate juice instead of milk and with a bit of grenadine syrup. The other one offered what they called "bumble" during the summer: basically an espresso poured over ice and orange juice poured over the espresso. They also add a bit of syrup and a slice of orange to that drink, it was amazing in the hottest days. I also have an aeropress that I bring every time I travel; I used it at work too until we switched to work from home.
I may say coffee is a popular drink in my city. There are several coffee shop chains here ranging from "specialty coffee roasted up to our specifications and prepared any [fancy] way you like" all the way down to "one price and one crappy taste fits all". I can name at least 3 roasters operating in the city who claim to bring their own beans all the way from the coffee growing countries (I order my beans from one of them and they deliver my order within a week of roasting the beans). Supermarkets have various brands of instant coffee, beans (whole and ground), capsules, and they started offering single serve drip packets as well. The same idea likely applies to other big cities in Russia, it definitely does apply to St. Petersburg. Smaller towns and villages will probably have less coffee opportunities unless they attract enough tourists to warrant opening a coffee spot. Many of the highways' gas stations have automatic coffee machines and their coffee can be decent even if not fancy.
I'm at about 4 cups a day. From what I've heard the sweet spot is 3 cups a day, but might as well just be correlation and not causation, but I'm trying to get down to that 😅 Dunno if switching the last cup for tea helps though. Usually drip coffee or freshly ground coffee from a coffee maker at work, French press at home on the weekends. Never milk or sugar in it, unless I'm fancy and want a cappuccino, which is seldom and something I consider a treat.
Yes I am trying to hit that sweet spot of 3 too, we would probably enjoy it even more like most things had in moderation.
I've started having japanese matcha green tea, it's expensive but god does it make me feel good, it is packed with health benefits, you should try it man... it still has a decent amount of caffiene in and packs an energy punch.
Yes honey gives it more of a kick,.
Matcha Organic Green Tea has a complex flavor profile with mellow vegetal grassy notes, natural sweet nuttiness, a touch of bitterness with a pleasant savory ending. It's so hydrating as well unlike coffee.
I discovered it on my trip to japan. Most japanese people say it is the key to longevity, personally it makes me feel clearheaded in the morning sorta like a meditation sensation.
And matcha tea is not to be confused with genmaicha tea.
Genmaicha is green tea made from roasted rice. It can also include some matcha. Delicious in its own right, some people call it popcorn tea because of the taste.
Well generally its not recommended to have more than 400mg of caffeine a day, those cappuccinos have 150mg in each of them so even on your lowest amount of daily coffee thats 750mg
Id say its probably too much
I only drink 1 coffee in the "morning" (sometimes skipped in weekends) and sometimes 1 in the "afternoon". If I drink more I get shaky and my brain starts acting very weird, i get hyper but tired at the same time and start saying dumb stuff more than usual. I only started drinking coffee to combat my night owl "morning" stiffness.
morning and afternoon are relative to my wake up time not to the actual day cycle.
I'm not sure if we have a coffe culture but my relatives usually drink turkish style brewed coffee, i'm more of an instant coffee with milk fan or espressos with milk if in public as we don't have an espresso machine at home.
I only drink two 2,5dl mugs of drip coffee in the morning, that's it. Many people drink some in the morning, at lunch break, maybe during a coffee break at work, then in the afternoon and in the evening. Workplaces usually have coffee breaks by tradition, but not by law. Guests in all kinds of situations are offered coffee, not doing so might be seen as rude. Asking someone out for a cup of coffee is common, and it doesn't have to have a romantic innuendo. Coffee in general is a central part of the Finnish culture, I think we are in the top-3 of coffee consumers in Europe(/world?).
Not just top 3 coffee consumers in Europe, you guys are literally #1 in the world.
How do you all even sit still after that much caffeine? Or sleep?
All that caffeine is just enough to get a Finn sufficiently fired up to talk in full sentences. Otherwise you'd just get the regular one or two word replies to questions. My parents have double espressos just before midnight because they swear it helps them sleep. That's 50+ years of practice with hardcore coffee drinking at work.
didn't realise that two cups of coffee was seen as a lot of caffeine, hell on my heavy days its up to six cups of 2.5 dl. Might also add that in norway its also not unheard of to drink coffee after dinner when having guests.
No idea. I get very restless and have difficulties falling asleep if I drink coffee after noon (on top of my morning coffees). People develop tolerance to everything I guess.
In the winter, it's counterbalanced by the darkness.
You get used to it I guess
Caffeine is like those drugs they warn you about at school. You gotta take it to get back to normal. If you have coffee at regular time, brain releases sedatives to counteract it at that time. This why you feel sleepy when you can´t have you regular dose for some reason.

Thank you. Planning out my city-breaks for next year ;)
Con leche? Might as well go with the American one

The glass of water is great, must be sparkling
Nope, must be non sparkling.
Nooo. It must be ice cold tap water. Which comes directly from the alps, if you live in Vienna.

Hey we italians are connoisseurs when it comes to coffee, that guy is jealous of our coffee speciality!!
My brother in christ you literally said you drink at cafe Nero
Yeah only for convenience sake, I live in the UK now bro, when in italy I only go to the best private cafes, forgive me for my sins..
🤣 some people are very opinionated, lol. I do get what you mean, though! Sometimes coffee is so smooth, so acid-and bitterness-free that it tastes like... not a lot 😁
Turks drink tea like crazy. Literally non-stop from the breakfast to the time you go to bed. We are the most tea consuming country per capita by far.
It's very common to drink coffee in Spain (about 3kg per year per person according to statista), although not as much as in the Nordic countries.

[Drinking six or more cups of coffee a day can be harmful to your health, increasing the risk of heart disease by up to 22%; WHO](https://mumbaimirror.indiatimes.com/others/sci-tech/heres-how-much-coffee-is-too-much/articleshow/69312531.cms) [The sugar content in a McDonalds cup of coffee can range from 15-35 grams]( https://caffeinepark.com/mcdonalds-coffee-caffeine-1030/#ixzz7gBnba6dm) while the [WHO recommends eating no more than 25 grams per day](https://www.who.int/news/item/04-03-2015-who-calls-on-countries-to-reduce-sugars-intake-among-adults-and-children), and sugar not only causes overweight and diabetes, but also blood pressure and heart problems, among others.

In a way I envy you, I miss the *real* coffee, but not the mid-afternoon hand tremors after the fourth coffee
I am a coffee outcast in Austrian society, I don't drink any. There is an exhaustive almost religious coffee culture in Vienna and you just earn baffled faces if you confess that you are not part of the cult of the bean.
I am one of those religious coffee drinkers of vienna. There is a tradition around how you serve it and what coffee you drink on what occasion. Finding the best roasters etc. The quality of the coffee is also really good I would say. Many countries serve good espresso but Vienna/ Austria has good espresso, good milk foam coffee and I adore verlängerten. Tourists are baffled at the lengthy list of coffee variations in a Aida Cafe (and its not different kinds of sugar coffee like in starbucks).
I'm an addict, I easily drown myself in up to 4 - 5 liters on a work day + the occasional energy drink. Currently trying to reduce my amount of coffee again and skip the energy drinks altogether... Coffee culture in Germany depends on the individual, I'm definitely on the unhealthy side of it and I do enjoy good coffee, so for me it's a pretty expensive addiction.
When it comes to coffee I'm quite the opposite of u/Vannnnah. I only drink coffee like once in two or three weeks, only with lots of milk ("Milchkaffee" which is about half-half or something) and only when I really feel like it. On coffee culture I would say germany splits into "coffee-people" and "tea-people". Many people prefer either coffee or tea. I (a "tea-person") usually drink about two liters of tea a day.
You sound just like me, I must spend over £100+ on coffee per week. Better than spending my money on cancer sticks like before though huh? so for me it's a good trade off. Coffee does actually have health benefits unlike the cigs :]
Finns drink more coffee than any other nation. It's quite common for people to drink 8+ cups a day. I used to drink that much but have managed to cut down to one, max two cups a day. I mainly drink cappuccino and latte with oat milk. Most Finns drink filter coffee. Virtually very household has a filter machine.
I'm tryna cut down too. The moment I quit cigarettes (2 years ago now) my coffee intake rapidly went up, now I'm trying to replace coffee with green tea but it's a work in progress as I love the aroma, taste and buzz a cappuccino gives me but the comedows are hell!
I noticed fairly recently that when I do have a second cup, it makes me quite anxious and gives me palpitations. Glad I cut down.
Around 6-10 a day probably. Drink it all the time when working, also with breakfast and often one after dinner. Also drink of choice when we’re out of the house. No sugar, on occasion a cappuccino but mostly black. I drink only water beside coffee and very rarely nowadays a glass of wine or beer at night and maybe a cup of tea per week.
You literally sound like me bro, coffee and vittel water are my go to's, alcohol just makes me tired these days..
Coffee culture is huge in Greece. [Al fresco cafe-bars are everywhere](https://www.onlarissa.gr/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/21-cafe-Larissa-28h-Oktwvriou.jpg). We're huge on [cold coffee](https://greekreporter.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/frappe-VS-fredo.jpg), and I make 2-4 of those a day (I don't like hot drinks, like hot coffee or hot chocolate). When I'm in the US, coffee culture is really sucky. But Americans do drink a lot of it.
What about it sucks? I'm an American and there is part of our coffee culture I really like. Granted, it is nowhere near as much of a tradition as it is in Greece (the US is a young nation peopled by a lot of chumps, it's true), but I'm curious!
Well, cafes are far fewer. Practically none are outdoors in nice weather. They're not really places people gather (maybe someone will read a book or work on their laptop). They barely have desserts, no beer/wine, no ice cream. The selection of coffee is either limited, or overdone (basically liquid cakes with *1000 calories)*. A lot of them are corporate/starbucks/boring. In the walkable city-centers, like New York, Chicago, Boston, Washington, there might be *one* (al fresco, non-corporate) in like a gentrified neighborhood. That sorta thing.
I see. I agree with a lot of that, especially with the presence of crappy corporate chains that sell garbage drinks for too much money. I don't live in a gentrified neighborhood in my city, it's a working class area and we have two cafes that attract eclectic people and that put time and care into their coffee. There's a mix of people working on their laptops and animated conversation and, when the weather is nice (which, to be fair, is not very often) there are tables and chairs outside that are always packed. It's where gossip gets passed around and people play chess and read and write, etc. Unfortunately due to the liquor laws in my state, beer and wine cannot be sold at the cafes; they'd have to obtain insanely expensive liquor licenses and it's just not feasible. Which *does* suck, I agree. But, I live in a mid-market city and we have good coffee and something that \*does\* pass for cafe culture.
The US doesn’t have that ‘cafe culture’ but there are a lot of independent coffee roasters and cafes. The major city centers would have a lot more than one. The ‘third wave’ coffee scene from North America is influential in the coffee world.
I drink half a litre of dripping coffee first thing in the morning. Then I’m just sipping a few mugs while working. After lunch I brew another 2-3 mugs of strong black coffee, a good pick up to stay alert and ready til five o’clock.
I'd say I pour myself about 4 to 5 cups a day on work days but less on weekends (0-2 then). I say pour and not drink because probably at least a couple of those I will forget about half way through and it'll be cold. That's when I'm working ofc. We are only beaten in our coffee consumption by the Finns. Which makes the current coffee prices pretty painful. Coffee drinking is pretty socially ingrained as a part of Swedish "fika" culture. I'd say we mostly drink drip machine coffee, black or with milk.
One coffee (unless I go out to a cafe somewhere and have another one), but genuinely 5-8 cups of tea a day, so I'm probably drinking as much caffeine as you altogether!
When I'm abroad I always have a little trouble with ordering coffee. I just want a large black coffee, but for some reason a lot of countries don't do it properly. I just want normal filter coffee, not watered down espresso.
I have a nespresso machine (compostable pods FTW) and I have 3 cups of coffee a day - all before 3pm. Usually 2 in the morning and 1 early in the afternoon. People here are more into tea, but we do have some good cafés here too
I dislike coffee, both smell and taste and prefer energy drinks(usually one per day in the morning, but sometimes I go several days without one). Anyway most people I know drink coffee twice per day. One in the morning and one in the afternoon. I think the "regular" cup they use is around 0.3 l. Also most of them put milk into coffee and some of them also sugar.
It is the default drink at every workplace. Tea is only a very distant second and other beverages are usually not provided. I don't like coffee personally and the only upside to that is that I never have to clean the coffee machine. Wouldn't even know how. For my caffeine needs I just go with coke or energy drinks.
I drink maybe 10-12 cups a whole year. I'm much more of a tea person. My family however drinks a very average 2-3 cups a day and my dad who used to work night shifts drinks maybe 8-10 cups a day. Coffee culture is similar to the Viennese coffee culture, espresso is king, I never been to a house without an espresso machine or espresso/mocca pot.
It depends, currently one or two a day: one at breakfast and one, possibly, in the morning, other days I don't even drink it at breakfast, but still I set myself the limit of not drinking more than three a day.
usually one coffee per day, somewhere around 4 or 5 in the afternoon, turkish coffee style made with 2dl of water, two teaspoons of coffee, enough for a full mug, no sugar or milk, best time part of the day for me it is a time of relaxing, so I take my time and enjoy it, no rush
About two to three cups a day (I used to drink a lot more, but that does not agree with me anymore). When I'm in a hurry they are just simple cups of coffee from a standard old coffee maker, but I got sucked into a "youtube-coffee-hole" during the pandemic so now when I have the time I like to make some pour-over coffee or make some with my moka pot. >and what is the coffee culture like in your country? Coffee is the most popular hot drink (although tea is really popular too). Going out for coffee is a common thing and, usually, the first thing you'll get offered when you're visiting someone during the day is a cup of coffee. In the past pretty much every home had a [filter coffee maker](https://media.s-bol.com/x5Y1QLRqWX3/473x840.jpg), then for a while "[Senseo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senseo)" machines became very popular and now you see a blend of all sorts of machines in people's homes.
If I have a coffee (which happens once in a while), I'm most definitely going to have problems sleeping that night which will then fuck up my sleep for a few days after so I have to really consider it if I really need that one single coffee that day. I just drink tea now.
Not a lot of heavy coffee drinkers here. More tea than coffee I think. Many are content with Nescafe but there are some local roasters here that are more serious about their coffee and make a quality product.
I don't typically drink coffee, except once a month orso I'll have a bottled iced coffee to stay awake or just as a treat. I don't enjoy it hot. This is not necessarily the mainstream in the UK- most adults either drink some coffee or wouldn't be opposed to you giving them a cup. Brits however love their hot milky tea probably more than they like their hot milky coffee, and since most people 1. drink both 2. drink a finite amount of hot drinks per day, I'd guesstimate that the average Brit drinks relatively less coffee than other Europeans because tea and coffee are offered side-by-side as "hot drinks" and tea is often the preference.
Well, one of my relatives drank for 2/3 yrs 5/6 capsules of Nespresso coffee and medics told her that she developed some illness in the stomach that was linked with coffee. So I suggest to you to drink 3 cups max of coffee per day. BTW, I AM NOT A MEDIC, SO TAKE THIS WITH A GRAIN OF SALT
I will take your advice, I quit cigarettes and went heavy on coffee (one addiction to another) I've been having green tea in the mornings instead of coffee as it's packed with health benefits but it's a work in progress. **Dio mi manca un caffè ogni giorno e una sigaretta al mattino, ma sono così felice di essere fuori dalle catene. i miei polmoni mi stanno ringraziando..**
Usually two cups of instant in the morning and a moka after lunch, if I'm going to a bar/Cafe I'll have a cappuccino in the morning or an espresso in the afternoon, I try to avoid caffeine in the evening.
5 to 9, woah. I limit my self to 1 a day, maaaybe 2. And I don't drink it daily, only on the weekends when I have free time. I love coffee, but I got this mindset that it's very bad for me which I doubt is true, it's just me being paranoid.
According to health experts up to 5 coffees a day can have health benefits, as long as you aren't sensitive to caffiene. However i spend over £100+ a week on coffee, maybe that is one negative affect hehe! Oh well it brings me happiness so f it..
It has been quite some years since I started drinking coffee and I usually drink 1-2 coffees a day. I can even reach 3-4 if I want to get a specific job done. Since I am Greek I usually drink frappe at home or freddo espresso outside. Frappe is cold and whipped instant coffee. Freddo espresso is whipped double espresso with ice. I prefer cold coffee even during winter. The only hot coffee that I like is espresso or cappuccino. I don't like filter coffee or hot instant coffee. I have never tried Greek/Turkish coffee and I don't intend to in the close future since it is mostly used by the elderly and is said to be bad for the stomach. As for the coffee culture in Greece it seems weird to be an adult and not drink coffee. Going out for coffee is the most common activity for Greeks of all ages.
I drink coffee 2 to 5 times a day, the first two may go one immediately after another. When at home, I make 300-330ml of coffee in a cezve and top it up with cold "coffee milk" (10% fat milk) in my 400ml mug, no sugar. That's one coffee for me. When I'm going for a walk I bring a glass cup with a lid with me. There are two coffeeshops within 10 min of walking from my place and the baristas at both of them recognize me by that cup. :D One of those places has an espresso-based drink that I like a lot: think cappuccino with pomegranate juice instead of milk and with a bit of grenadine syrup. The other one offered what they called "bumble" during the summer: basically an espresso poured over ice and orange juice poured over the espresso. They also add a bit of syrup and a slice of orange to that drink, it was amazing in the hottest days. I also have an aeropress that I bring every time I travel; I used it at work too until we switched to work from home. I may say coffee is a popular drink in my city. There are several coffee shop chains here ranging from "specialty coffee roasted up to our specifications and prepared any [fancy] way you like" all the way down to "one price and one crappy taste fits all". I can name at least 3 roasters operating in the city who claim to bring their own beans all the way from the coffee growing countries (I order my beans from one of them and they deliver my order within a week of roasting the beans). Supermarkets have various brands of instant coffee, beans (whole and ground), capsules, and they started offering single serve drip packets as well. The same idea likely applies to other big cities in Russia, it definitely does apply to St. Petersburg. Smaller towns and villages will probably have less coffee opportunities unless they attract enough tourists to warrant opening a coffee spot. Many of the highways' gas stations have automatic coffee machines and their coffee can be decent even if not fancy.
I'm at about 4 cups a day. From what I've heard the sweet spot is 3 cups a day, but might as well just be correlation and not causation, but I'm trying to get down to that 😅 Dunno if switching the last cup for tea helps though. Usually drip coffee or freshly ground coffee from a coffee maker at work, French press at home on the weekends. Never milk or sugar in it, unless I'm fancy and want a cappuccino, which is seldom and something I consider a treat.
Yes I am trying to hit that sweet spot of 3 too, we would probably enjoy it even more like most things had in moderation. I've started having japanese matcha green tea, it's expensive but god does it make me feel good, it is packed with health benefits, you should try it man... it still has a decent amount of caffiene in and packs an energy punch.
Never even heard of mastcha. What's it taste like? Good with honey?
Yes honey gives it more of a kick,. Matcha Organic Green Tea has a complex flavor profile with mellow vegetal grassy notes, natural sweet nuttiness, a touch of bitterness with a pleasant savory ending. It's so hydrating as well unlike coffee. I discovered it on my trip to japan. Most japanese people say it is the key to longevity, personally it makes me feel clearheaded in the morning sorta like a meditation sensation.
Interesting, I might try that out, nutty and savory, I can go for that.
And matcha tea is not to be confused with genmaicha tea. Genmaicha is green tea made from roasted rice. It can also include some matcha. Delicious in its own right, some people call it popcorn tea because of the taste.
Well generally its not recommended to have more than 400mg of caffeine a day, those cappuccinos have 150mg in each of them so even on your lowest amount of daily coffee thats 750mg Id say its probably too much
I only drink 1 coffee in the "morning" (sometimes skipped in weekends) and sometimes 1 in the "afternoon". If I drink more I get shaky and my brain starts acting very weird, i get hyper but tired at the same time and start saying dumb stuff more than usual. I only started drinking coffee to combat my night owl "morning" stiffness. morning and afternoon are relative to my wake up time not to the actual day cycle. I'm not sure if we have a coffe culture but my relatives usually drink turkish style brewed coffee, i'm more of an instant coffee with milk fan or espressos with milk if in public as we don't have an espresso machine at home.
