i fell in love with coffee on my first day of work..i never even think so much about it, but i realized now that i'd been slowly but surely enticed into a love affair with pure black coffee (no coffeemate please!!!!)since that time..our office used to work from 8am up to the wee hours of the morning..i started my job just when filing of income tax returns and submission of financial statements were the air our office breath daily.. due to lack of sleep, i had to subsidize my energy with mugs of coffee..my liaison with coffee just started with the usual dainty cup (usually used for tea, i guess). However, it soon grew into a mug, which in turn grew into larger mugs..until, i realized (due to an observation made by a colleague how addicted i am to coffee)that i now consumed almost 10 big mugs of pure black coffee, daily! i guess, i'm getting used to such dosage coz during weekends when i am just relaxing at the house, i only get 1 to 3 mugs a day, i get headaches..my friends attributed it to the lack of my usual coffee intake..i know it's not healthy anymore, but i just can't part with my coffee-love that easy.. how about you? how's coffee for you?

Oh gosh, your coffee intake is definitely not healthy. You should stop it. Or if it gives you headache, you should lessen it day by day so you body will get used to it. I only usually get one cup in the morning and that's enough for me for the whole day. Sometimes I get one cup in the afternoon too. So that's 1-2 ups daily.

i just drink 1 to 2 cups a day since coffee also has some bad effects on our health if we drink just too much than what is required. i dont over drink.. i just drink 1 cup in teh morning and sometimes 1 in the afternoon.. it depends on my activities for the day

I love coffee so much in fact my day is incomplete without a cup of coffee. But up to that only, I don't treat my self for more. I don't tolerate myslf to drink more. Just one cup a day.

ooohhh...my friend, i thought i'm the worst coffee drinker around... i was known for my addiction to coffee too..in school and at work... but 5 big mugs of pure black coffee is way too heavy for me... mine is just the nescafe 3n1...and my usual coffee intake is 3-5 glasses a day..depending on how many times i've eaten because...i can't stand it without drinking coffee after meals and snacks..it aids in my digestion and thus make me feel lighter even if i have just eaten... and i can't resist the smell of coffee too...the aroma is irresistible...=)
