Coffee Consumption

A few months ago I saw a neat little thing that James Hoffmann did over at his blog. I found this interesting for a few reasons - how much coffee do I drink, what kind of coffee do I drink the most, is this the reason I cannot sleep - all these things I wanted to answer.

So for the last 40 days I logged each coffee consumed using daytum. It was difficult to remember to log each drink, but it ended up becoming routine and I plan to keep this going for some time - how much coffee do I drink in a year?!

Similar with James' experiment I didn't log any coffee consumed while training, cupping, setting the grind, or practicing. Brewed coffee was usually 6oz, cappuccino was usually a 6oz double, brew methods were logged as each 6oz cup consumed.

So in the last 40 days I drank ~130 cups, just about 3.25 per day. Big time coffee days on the 5th and 6th of June (not sure why) with 7 cups each day. Apparently I didn't drink any on the 16th, although I know this is an error on my part - I can't remember the last day without coffee, I simply must have forgotten to log anything that day.
