    I'm cutting down on my coffee so I don't have instant at home , I've got fresh de caffeinated which takes a little longer to make so I only use it when desperate.

    I make myself drink two 300 ml glasses of water on waking. After this I don't start drinking coffee .I've switched to green tea. I find that I like the loose leaf variety( whole leaves not powder) and apparently you don't quite boil the water as this makes the tea bitter.i only drink coffee in caf!s -quite like costa flat white.

    Normal tea about 3 cups with skimmed milk no suger, lower calories .

    1 black coffee, no sugar.

    I can't even begin to imagine how any of you drink upwards of 3 or 4 a day, don't you get really jittery? :o
  • 6 to 7 cups of tea a day with milk but no sugar. Sometimes I have a cup of coffee with half milk, half water but no sugar. That replaces one of the cups of tea so the total stays the same.
  • If it's espresso or filter type coffee then 3 a day at the most or I get the jitters!

    I could drink instant coffee by the bucket load. It does not seem to affect me in the same way.

    ...dash of milk, one brown sugar :)
  • I usually drink about 1 cup of coffee a day. Another cup in the afternoon on the days I'm really feeling the post lunch time slump! Instant coffee is not for me at all though. I use my trusty wee cafetiere. Semi-skimmed milk sometimes, but usually black. But I'm partial to a certain big chain coffee shop's caramel cappuccinos!

    About 4 cups of tea a day, each with 3 sugars and quite a bit of milk. If I do have coffee, which is mainly in winter, then thats very sweet and milky too.
    I think I just prefer sweet hot milk really, lol.

    None. I dont drink tea or coffee. Like tea better than coffee but its very rare I'll have a cup of tea either.

    Dont drink cola or diet cola anymore either. Mostly just water with the odd low sugar fruit juice, cranberry or cherry mainly.

    I've never liked tea or coffee. Normally I don't have any fruit juice either, ( orange juice currently as it helps with iron absorption and I've been diagnosed as anaemic).

    It's either water or alcohol:D
