Drinking coffee in morning surely starts your day. It said to be the energizer since it sooths the warm and aromatic smell and flavor to our nose, taste buds and stomach no wonder a lot became crazed by drinking coffee. It could be the way to relax during stress times or to make us alert. Coffee of this day evolve from simple black ordinary coffee to more complicated and richer taste which accompanied with different ingredients that adds the sensational taste and even using it to different products like shakes, ice cream, cakes and many more. Coffee is also a good source of antioxidants that fights toxins and way to look young. No wonder a lot of people get addicted to coffee but as we all know too much could be bad, coffee contains caffein that could be harmful to our body if consume on larger content thats why it is advisable to drink the average or less.
My father was one of the addicts of coffee before he used to drink 4 cups in a day and the type of coffee that he used to drink was the dark or natural black coffee which caffein is largely present. Most of the problem that he encountered was the difficulty to sleep or insomia and stomach ulcer since coffee is high in acid.
I also drink coffee but not like my father because I used to drink milk. I define coffee good but not to the extent that I will be addicted to it since I'm not a coffee lover. Usually in drink coffee 3 times in a week just to taste something different and the flavor that I love in coffee is the caramel flavor.

zero - I mostly drink tea and water...
If I have coffee it's usually on special occasions or with dessert.

Hi!
I only drink coffee once in a while. Like you, I drink milk instead. I try to drink milk at least once a day. I only drink coffee when there's no milk around and if I feel cold during a cold weather or just because of the air conditioner. 
I also think coffee is bad when drank too much. But we have this doctor who drink at least four cups of coffee a day and he said it's okay. It doesn't give him any insomnia or ulcer at all. I guess he counters it with some healthy habits.

I do drink milk and I also drink coffee. I'm a heavy coffee drinker and I don't have problem sleeping after drinking coffee. Weird thing is, I sleep better when I drink coffee :P Weird right? :P

I don't really sit & count how many cups of coffee I drink through out the day but I know I drink a lot of it. Last time I tried to actually see how many I drink, I lost count at 22. In a typical day, I drink cup of coffee when I wake up, before doing anything else. Then take a shower & get a cup of coffee. I have another one with breakfast, then one on my way to work. When I get there, first thing I do is get a cup of coffee. Starting from that, usually drink about 4 - 5 cups of coffee before lunch. Then 2 while I'm having my lunch, then another 3 - 4 in the afternoon. One on my way home & 2 - 3 before dinner. Then 2 with my dinner then 2 - 3 after dinner. Then 1 right before going to bed. That's when I'm working. On my days off, I end up with little more than that. Coffee never keeps me awake at night. Matter in fact, it tends to help me go to sleep. I usually have black coffee.

I hardly have one cup of coffee a day. I love coffee but can't drink them much coz i know i'll have hard time falling asleep. So even if I drink, it'll be around morning time and never the evening.
Anyway tea on the other hand, I drink tea everyday. One cup is a must for me hhehe.

In fact I seldom drink coffee because it really works for me and I can feel awake all the time even if I may be sleepless at night. So if I have to drink coffee. I will just drink a cup of coffee and it is already good for me.
I love China

I think your father drinks too much. I don't know what's the healthy maximum amount of coffee a day but I wouldn't drink that much. I love coffee but I only drink it once a day. Sometimes twice but most of the time only once a day, and that's in morning. Coffee really wakes up my body and makes me feel ready to start my day and work.

Coffee is something that I tried in the past but I think that it did more harm than good with keeping me on task to say the very least. I'm sure it works out rather well for a lot of people, in keeping them more than alert and keeping them able to focus on the task at hand, being able to deal with a lot of the problems in the day. However the fact remains coffee is not for me.
Coffee is what it is I think. Good for some, bad for others, and really bad if it is abused in higher quantities. Then again, you can really say that about any number of things to say the least. Pretty much anything can open the gateway to abuse and can lead to a lot of problems. So yeah, no coffee for me. Of course, I tend to need a soda or two to get me through the day, but given than there are people who drink up to eight or ten cans a day, I think that I'm in a bit better shape than many.

I must admit that I feel like a zombie if I don't have my morning coffee,it's the thing that gives me the energy to start a new day.Besides that compulsory cup of coffee I also have one or two more cups,but not later than 4 pm because I want to be able to sleep well.Anyway,if there's one drink I can't live without,that is definitely coffee.

I love weekend mornings when I wake up late. I run to make coffee, never other than the best, made from pot. Along with my husband a delight with the greatest pleasure, and corrupt it, and he to taste of this coffee unique flavor that I caress every morning! Around the coffee mugs are born our plans for that day. I would say that our morning coffee to kick-start a new day!
Shrouded in alintaroma coffee lunch, conversations with friends are unmatched! It is a pleasure to enjoy it while coffee only to have some of the most beautiful moments with loved ones, listen to them passes, joys, to be able to give and receive the best advice!
In conclusion, drinking two cups of coffee, which is love and who can not live without!

I'm a heavy coffee drinker XD I drink coffee before I go to work, I drink 4-6 cups of coffee during work but I can still sleep despite the fact I'm a heavy coffee drinker :D I seldom drink coffee black. I really don't know why but I really love coffee. Some of my friends got worried that I might have caffeine addiction but personally, I don't think so. I can go on a whole day or longer without drinking coffee. It's just that I like the taste of it and it really improves my mood :D

Im addicted to coffee. I can consume two to three cups a day. One in the morning. Id rather skip breakfast but not coffee. One during office time. It's a bit cold in the office so I need something hot. One during dinner time.I tried to fight it. I replaced it with milk for three months but I went back to it.

I love coffee and I drink at least 8 cups a day. That is pretty much my staple. I like it strong with just cream, no sugar to mess with the flavor, and I like it not to light nor to dark, though I can drink it black. As a rule you can't talk to me before I have had my first cup of coffee in the morning lol.

I am a coffee drinker, very much addicted to it. I drink four or five cups of coffee a day, starting from breakfast time. We have a coffee maker in the work place to, and can have as many cups as we want. I used to drink very strong coffee before, but have now changed to decaffinated coffee. I drink that with cream and sugar.

My day is never complete without drinking coffee. In fact, my day begins with a cup of coffee and sometimes ends with a cup of coffee also. I can consume approximately 3-4 cups of coffee a day. Coffee, to me is an energizer, a thing that drives an activity to completion. In my college days I used to drink chocolate drinks and even up to my early years of employment. But coffee in the Office seemed inviting that just the aroma of it is somewhat captivating. Several articles are written about coffee, it's advantages & disadvantages to one's health, but, nevertheless, it doesn't make sense to me. But that a promise made to be broken since todate I am back in my old habit. So... drinking coffee? Why not.

Well i'm not addicted to caffeine , it is just that it don't affect me i litlle proportions.
I drink 2 double caffes to start the morning , then while working i must have atleast two energy drinks near me to stay concentrated and finally in the evening i dring 2 liters of cola(the big bottle).
I know this is not healthy but it helps me to stay concentrated.
Cheers

i don't drink coffee i just drink tea that also twice a day. Coffee is hotter than tea and so it is also harmful for health.. yes this is true lot of people are addicted to coffee and tea but addiction is not good in any manner..
