How much coffee do you drink and how much do you need/rely on it?

I'm not the biggest coffee drinker, I like a nice cup of good coffee when I want one but I can go for weeks without one.

In my current work place/team it seems to be a coffee cult, where they buy coffee beans, make and drink "proper" coffee and whenever you try to get hold of them on teams, they are always on a coffee break. lol

In one of my prevous places, I swear this chap was addicted to coffee. every morning he would but the kettle on before he took off his coat then re-boil the water about 5 times before he would actually make himself a cup of coffee. One morning the kettle had a fault that kept tripping the power to our office.. It happen twice, but he wanted to test it again rather that spend the 15p on the coffee machine. It wouldn't have been so bad if the addict didn't act like he needed a hit of **** or the fact it cut the power off to our workstations in the room.
 
2 or 3 cups in the morning, first cup super strong from beans, the others just instant coffee to top me up.

I totally rely on it, my brain feels like mush without it.
 
I'm immune to caffeine, so it's just a nice drink to me. I do drink a fair but though! Probably three to four mugs a day. Can't tolerate instant coffee, blah! Preferred coffee is Pike Place...despite the huge price increases of late.
 
I cut it out 2 months ago because I a) was in a particular temporary workplace that made getting one difficult and b) needing one to function/not getting headaches made me feel pathetic. I would've had to go really quite far out of my way to go and get one and it made me realise this is weird and not what I want to be.

Immune to caffeine eh? Try to quit and then say that.

I'll have a couple of cups a day. Proper coffee, not instant, which to me is just coffee flavoured hot water.

I love my coffee and if drinking it means admitting I'm an addict, then sign me up to Caffeine Addicts Monthly.
 
One in the morning from McDonalds
1-2 made at home using instant
One in the evening from McDonalds
2 small ones over night from the work vending machine - you just can't beat Selecta coffee lol.

I don't need it, sometimes replace the drinks with tea, hot chocolate or fresh juice.

I don't rely on it, I don't ever notice an effect from it.
Don't have any hot drink first thing.
I have one coffee around 10am and maybe one after work at 4pm, but that's not a given, oh it's decaff anyway. Am having a few more now it's Xmas, as topping it up with baileys.
 
Used to have 2 espressos (black) in the mornings before work. Now I just have one in the morning, and maybe one in the evening. Think my body has become used to caffeine hits as I don't get that rush anymore.
 
I usually have one mug first thing, from either a French Press or a Chemex. Then I'll have a cup of decaf tea mid-morning and a mint tea at lunch. There is a cup of decaf tea around 8:30 with the misses in the evening.

On the weekends, I usually don't have any before the usual Saturday run but a flat white in the cafe afterwards. Again, I'll have mint tea and decaf tea later.
