Coffee How much coffee do you drink?
jimseven — As I mentioned in a previous post – I get asked this question quite a lot. So for the month of January I logged every cup of coffee I drank, using a splendid website called Daytum. So – how many coffees? In January I drank 126 cups, so on average a daily consumption of 4.1 Below is a quick breakdown of my consumption, as well as an explanation of what was logged, and what wasn’t. What counts as a cup? With brewed coffee this is usually a 6-8oz cup. With cappuccinos they were usually single shot, 5oz drinks. Flat whites2 were double shots. I didn’t log any coffee I drank as part of a training or when tasting to dial in a grind setting. I didn’t include coffees I cupped, or brewed little tasters off rather than drank a cup of. These were coffees I drank all of because I wanted coffee. Daily consumption: You can sort of see the dip at weekends here, though Sundays can often turn into very caffeinated days as I live so close to so much good coffee! The 27th was the record day with 8 cups. Let’s break down the total consumption into individual drinks. I probably should have logged any brewed coffee as just “brewed” rather than the farm, but for various reasons I didn’t. All espressos, regardless of blend, are logged as a group. So – I drank a lot of espresso. In fact, despite how much I moan about it, 51.6% of the coffees I drink are espresso. Which seems quite high, but probably not unusual in the coffee community. I’m actually a little disappointed in myself that brewed coffee only made up about 22% of my coffee consumption. Here are a quick breakdown of my espresso based drinks and brewed coffees: I hope I can keep tracking it for the rest of the year – though it is easy to forget. Thankfully it is easy to post to daytum from my phone, or via twitter as well as through the web interface. I am recording enough data so I can then break down my consumption into different countries throughout the year and other stuff, which might be interesting. I guess this probably seems quite low – as daily consumption goes – but I found it interesting nonetheless! If anyone has any questions then do let me know!
