I have my two cups in the morning and usually that is all.

My mom was a “keep the pot full all day” coffee drinker but I did not get “the habit” from her.

I was in my 30s before I started drinking coffee, and that was just to kill the time between arrival at the office building I worked in and when the office doors were unlocked. Prior to that I never drank coffee. After that it was a morning habit.

I have been drinking 2 cups a day for as long as I can remember, and it didn’t help me- after waiting for 4 years, I received a new liver May 2021.
Long history of auto- immune system disease.
By the way, this is my first post in years. Time to get back into it, now that I’m retired.

My wife and used to be that way, at least on weekends. We'd make a pot and drink it until it was gone. Of course, it would get rather burnt-tasting by the end. Once we started using a Keurig and K-cups, we found we drank less because we only drank a cup if we felt like it. I guess there is a feeling that one may as well keep consuming it if the pot has been made.

As time has gone by, I find I cannot tolerate the bitter taste of coffee as well as I used to. For decades I drank strong, black coffee. Now I have to add cream and I don't tend to drink it past 1:00 PM. Usually 2-3 cups per day is enough for me.
