Coffee or tea?

[kongrui]

I love having coffee or tea. In a day I at least have two cups of either coffee or tea, but want to curtail down my in take. I am not addicted to tea or coffee but I love it and cant resist myself drinking it.

What you feel about coffee or tea?

I usually have 1 or 2 cups of coffee a day during the working week. I'll usually have tea on the weekends.

I have one cup of coffee in the morning and several cups of tea. I could give up coffee but never tea.

There are plenty of caffeine free (or low caffeine) teas to choose from if that is a concern. Even a cup of black tea has quite a bit less than the typical cup of coffee (which is why I need that one cup in the morning!).

1 cup coffee in the AM, 1 tea before I lift, and maaaaybe 1 cup tea mid day.

 

[blackdogdeek]

1 cup coffee at 5am
1 cup coffee between 10am and 11am
1 cup coffee around 3pm if required

1 coffee in the morning

then 2-4 teas (actually 1 bag of green tea and keep refilling the cup with hot water)

1 coffee after lunch

Addiction is a state characterized by compulsive engagement in rewarding stimuli...

I drink decaf coffee at all hours, and have tea when it "feels" a bit heavy.

2-3 cups of coffee per day, spread pretty evenly between 9-4. I feel like I am on the edge of being addicted to caffeine .. some days I start to feel tired if I don't have it within 3ish hours of waking up but more often I'm fine. Anyway it seems pretty harmless health-wise and I enjoy coffee quite a bit so don't particularly intend to cut back.

Drink as much as you want, it's not like it's bad for you

Honestly, you don't have much room to reduce intake. You only drink 2 cups a day. (I'm assuming you refer to METRIC cups, not like two venti-sized cups)

 

[deadken]

Can I ask why you want to cut down your intake?

I'm caffeine free for pretty much over 25 years (yeah, I know there are small amounts in chocolate, etc..). I didn't like how I was reacting to things when I was drinking caffeinated coffee and teas. So, now I drink herbal teas.

I enjoy coffee. Generally, I have two cups (about 14oz) in the morning, but as I've gotten older caffeine beats me up pretty good. If I have any caffeine after noon, it affects my sleep, and if I go without drinking any coffee for more than a week, I notice my caffeine tolerance quickly falls.

I can't stand black or green tea. Even the smell makes me nauseous. But I do enjoy many herbal teas.

My doctor advised me to stop drinking coffee and so I did more than 6 months ago. First week or two was though. I drink tea 3-4 times a week (only herbal teas not those strawberry-yogurt flavored teas). I have also stopped drinking coke and other sodas (basically I just drink water, tee or fresh squeezed juices) and I have lost about 15kg in 6 months, I feel that I have more energy, I don't have headaches, I woke up easier, my teeth are much whiter... I don't plan on going back to coffee again...

I love my coffee too. I drink about 5 cups of strong coffee each day and two double shot short blacks. Why give up a good thing. Unless it's having a direct effect on your life, keep going. Life's a little too short.

Coffee is easier to add flavors (vanilla, chocolate, hazelnut etc) and milk to. Tea is more narrow - milk backfires etc. I use both but mostly coffee.

Coffee myself, my wife loves tea though.
