1. None, unless I've had a late night. Then 1 usually does the trick.

3. I need 3 before I can spell a thread title correctly, lol!
My theory is, that in my line of work there's 2 types of people. Those who drink no coffee, or those who drink a lot of coffee. I'm the second type.

6. I don't need it.
I was a morning person even before I started drinking coffee. But I do enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning.

12. ah coffee
I have such a love hate relationship with coffee. I love the taste and hate the fact that I'm dependent on it to function. I used to to give it up at least once a year just to remind my body how to work with out it but I haven't done that in a while.

13. Well... if it's a 16 oz mug... then 3 or 4...
I guess that means 6 to 8 cups of coffee for me.

21. Two pots is just about right
Do I need two pots? Probably not, but my theory is keep drinking coffee right up until happy hour and then switch to bourbon.

23. I went with over four but I should've did the IV one
I didn't because lately I've been keeping it down to about 6 a day or so. Which is way less than normal.

25. 12 cups, according to the lines on the carafe
or 3 of my real cup. I'd like to see these little cups that can be filled 12 times from one pot.

33. I don't drink coffee in the morning.
I just pop a caffine pill. It works much faster.

36. does a grande size Starbucks count as 2 or 3 regular cups?
my office cafeteria uses Starbucks coffee and I have a grande every morning...I end up drinking it all day. I am one of those who also likes iced coffee, if the coffee is good to begin with and if it has good cream.

So sometimes I have cold Starbucks in the afternoon with a cookie. Quite refreshing.

I often drink tea on the weekends however.

But if I don't get some form of caffeine in me within 24 hours of my last caffeine, I am doomed to a severe headache. Sometimes it hits sooner.

37. It varies between 0 to 5.
By the way, where is the DU Sanctimony Brigade to lambast those posting here for drinking a beverage that is often the product of third world child labor?
