I worked with a man who would come to work with 2 full thermoses of coffee and before work, at lunch, and after work, he'd sit at a restaurant next door with coworkers and drink a couple cups.
I don't drink, but before we married, my wife told me I had to learn how to make her coffee before she'd marry me. Guess I did it right! 2 or 3 cups a day is her usual.
My consumption of coffee goes up drastically while at work. A couple of weeks ago I'd polish of 3 double shots of espresso plus maybe 16oz. of premium coffee -shop coffee. Come home and lie down and stare at the walls while my brain raced. Still haven't tended to the things I need to do!
Cashier said they have a regular who asks for 9 shots of espresso regularly...
Some time ago, my doctor was surprised that I was drinking 72 ounces of coffee a day. Basically, I was running the coffemaker each morning and finishing the carafe late at night. I didn't recognize any bad effects, not even sleeplessness, but the doctor didn't like it. Has anybody else been told this?
Generally above 400 mg is considered too much. But I've seen other studies indicating more is better. I try to keep close to that 400 mg daily, sometimes, I might exceed it.
Dude, you need to get yourself a new calculator, or abacus, or perhaps some more fingers and toes, because whatever the hell you used to come up with 6,840mg in 9 cups of coffee is definitely broken.
My dad told me more than two cups (what "cups" meant as far as size I don't know) and he would get jittery.
A couple weeks ago I was out in my garage getting ready to work and I got all lightheaded and has brief "fuzzy vision" and I realized I had literally been guzzling cup after cup that morning and do believe it was all that coffee (caffeine) that got me sick.
Since, I have cut back...but I am thinking I need to seriously think about quitting it for good. I don't know that there are any benefits at all to it as I have social anxiety to begin with and I'm an alcoholic in recovery as well. So anything I have potential to be dependent on isn't beneficial to me.
