Start the day with a pot before work, take a thermos or two with me when I leave the house then have my last cup after supper unless I'm working at night then it's more. Never really counted the cups, just go by how many pots I have most days.
Travel mug on the way to work. Gotta have one teaspoon of sugar and coffeemate hazelnut creamer. I don't see how ppl drink the stuff black.
Half a pot in the morning. Used to have an afternoon cup (every once and a while still do), but switched to hot tea during the day now.
Sometimes I have a mug of instant in the morning. About 1/2 tsp for 10 oz is rather weak I know. When I work the night shift at the hospital I have to drink a large cup about a 1/2 hour before going home just to keep from sleeping at the wheel!
