Wow, so many of you drink multiple cups a day! With cream and sugar?

I don't work out of the home, but when I did, I made a cup as I was getting ready, put it in a travel mug, have a few sips as I finish up, and take the cup with me in the car.

That said, here at home, I make the cup when I first get up. It's 11:45am and I still have about a 1/4 left. I've been known to take that cup with whatever is left and stick it in the fridge. mid afternoon, I'll take it out for a little bit of iced coffee.

but I'm like that with all beverages. A diet coke from Mcdonald's will take me half the day too.

I prepare my coffee at home...drink it, then go to my home office to work and make some more coffee mid morning to drink while I work. So do I make it at home and drink it before i go to work or do I make it at work?? HEHE

I fall into too many categories.

I make my own in the a.m. and drink 2 cups while getting ready for work. Then I take a cup *with* me to work in a travel mug. Once I'm there, I usually get 1 cup from the cafeteria and then 1 cup at some point either from the coffee shop or someone makes a pot and I have a cup from that.

So needless to say, on my work days, I tend to over-caffeinate.

I really look forward to my morning time. I get up very early and the first thing I do is start the percelator and then let the dog out.

I have not been able to bring myself to waste money on drive-through-coffee. We've never been in a position to even consider spending this kind of money and honestly even if we did, I'd still not buy it. (kind of a personal stand/belief) I do have to admit this: I once bought a starbucks just to see if it was worth the high (IMHO) sticker price. *lol* It wasn't.

At home, I have 2 cups with vanilla sugar free creamer while I have my morning time for devotional, study and prayer.

I typically work second shift so this isn't an issue for me but when I do have the occasional morning shift I drink a cup at home and take one to go.

I was finally able to start integrating coffee back in after a loooong hiatus because of pregnancy and early breastfeeding. My daughter is now more developed and older, so while I'm still breastfeeding, I feel she and I can handle a 1/4 cup per day. Whoever is on dishes the night before is supposed to set up the coffee on the timer so it's there when I get up. I drink it w/ my breakfast w/ some milk but no sugar. That's about all the caffeine I ever have in a day, but I sooooo love my coffee!

No coffee here. I usually have just water. Occasionally I'll make a tea when I get to work - on really tired days..lol.

I make my own coffee and drink at home.
Sometimes I will bring my own to work but usually not because I usually end up spilling it in the car.
At work, I drink more coffee that work provides even though it is disgusting.

Golden, add me to the club that drinks multiple cups.
I have noticed on weekends (when I do not work) I do NOT drink as much coffee as I do on a workday.

I usually drink my coffee before work, but they do have coffee there, and I'll sometimes have another cup.

I buy my own and drink two cups at home before work. When I get to work I'm in the 'coffee club' and pay a monthly fee of $2 so I can drink more coffee there.

but I"m trying to cut down to 3 cups a day so I may quit the coffee club and just do 2 cups at home and take one with me in the travel mug. THen cut down to 2, then one.

I'm not a coffee person really. I will have a cup of flavored decaf once in a great while in the evenings. Sawyer is a coffee junky, we have LOTS of coffee in the house. He's got a coffee club thing with green mountain coffee and gets boxes of coffee regularly in mail.
I'm an herbal tea girl and at work I keep a basket of assorted teas in my office. We have lots of tea and coffee in the kitchen though, I drink tea from the kitchen stash once in while.
