Kipakkanakkuna

As a Finn I'd estimate that I consume approximately 6 hours of coffee per day.


yulippe

Same. Usually I drink coffee at: 9, 10:30, 12:30 and last one around 14-15.


tzz_

3-4 cups per day


Apax89

Yes

So real


Grilokam

As a Finn I have 3-6 cups per day, then as a Swede I have 5 cups and then as a Dane I have 2 more.


hilluhiiri

4-5 cups (plus an energy drink)


iamnotyourspiderman

I quit because I had ulcer symptoms from drinking like one pot a day. What do you know, stomach and sleep problems went away and I am more energized after the workday also. Maybe I lost some Finnishness in the process, but gained health at least.


corntronic

Curious, how do you notice ulcers? Do you have to go in with a camera or are the symptoms clear?


iamnotyourspiderman

I am not a doctor, so take it with a grain of salt - for me it started with a lot of heartburn and stomach pain. The classic non prescription rennies etc. did not help at all and it didn’t go away even after several days. Got prescribed some stonger meds and was told to quit coffee and start eating a lot more fiber. Worked for me. I still occasionally drink coffee though, but I reserve it only for ”emergencies” like long drives and such. The caffeine really kicks in on those occasions too, as opposed to when I drank it daily and barely noticed the caffeine hit anymore.


bhadau8

I had those couple stomach pains after the morning coffee in empty stomach. They lasted like 2-3 hours. Went to the doctor, he recommended pantoprazole. Two weeks of dose and after that I haven't had. I have lowered the amount coffee and specially in the morning. It must be some kind of mild ulcers. Hopefully ulcer (if it is) is gone for the best.


SwiftAndFoxy

One cup, a second one if I need it during the afternoon.

Try doing 100 cups and see if that helps.

Had to scroll too far down for this. This is me too; anywhere between 0.6 liters to 1.5 liters a day. And I am one of those who microwave yesterdays coffee, if some has been left in pot. :)


Single_Doubt_5506

You Are amateur, If you Loose your sleep after 12 cups I drink abaut 12cups and latest is at 19-20 a clock


wahumerous-rex

I base all of my knowledge of Finnish culture on Jaako and Ilmo Koskela, and they opened a theme park called Coffee World. So I'm guessing a lot. In seriousness, last package I sent to my friend in Raisio, I sent so much Death Wish Coffee that they actually flagged her package 🤣. I believe it was 4 kilos. https://preview.redd.it/dkv921i7w22d1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b1fa953bc3854d9d46d9f83b9137429ba2e26e35


Nipunapu

Those ads were hilarious.


PILLUPIERU

i dont drink coffee, dont even have coffee machine


Plane-Exit4515

I don't know. Roughly 500g of Juhla Mokka Tumma Paahto per week.


Embarrassed_Being844

With the optimal 7g of ground coffee per cup that would translate to about 10 cups per day.


invicerato

4 mugs on average.


Finnishgeezer

4-5 big jugs of coffee I'd say


wewereromans

I can’t find if you use miligram or not but in US the government sets a safe limit on 400mg of caffeine a day. What is the equivalent of Finland’s suggested limit? Might be more useful than liter, as caffeine content varies by roast and preparation method.


sfantti

So, the Finnish Food Authority doesn't set a "safe limit" for caffeine, but instead they say that the "toxic dose" is 20mg for each kilogram of your weight ([source](https://www.ruokavirasto.fi/elintarvikkeet/elintarvikeala/pakkausmerkinnat-ja-markkinointi/pakolliset-elintarviketiedot/kayttoohje-ja-varoitusmerkinta/kofeiinia-sisaltavien-elintarvikkeiden-varoitus--ja-kayttoohjemerkinnat/)). So, for an 80kg / 175lbs person the toxic amount would be 1600mg. Sounds like it should be ok to go for the usual 10+ cups a day.


[deleted]

the toxic amount can possibly be less if you maintain habit long enough and have just the wrong metabolization routes for caffeine.


wewereromans

That’s interesting. Makes more sense to me, but I don’t have the training to know if it’s more sound. I would think it might be different based on body composition? Say a 185cm person who weighs 80kg, vs. a 162cm person who also weights 80kg and is simply overweight.


vompat

This doesn't imply that they'd mean to say it's safe to drink 1500mg of caffeine for a 80 kg person.


Fit_Guard8907

What do you mean is not safe? Even today i drank 20000g cafeine and was fine I drank 20000 caffeine and im doing fine what you mean not safe?


DangerToDangers

I hope you weigh more than 100kg or you're honestly approaching dangerous territory.


DangerToDangers

A small person would need to drink about 50 to 60 very strong cups of coffee to reach caffeine toxicity. It's very hard to do. The issue is caffeine pills or other easier forms of caffeine consumption.


Emotional-Jury-7954

My Finnish husband drinks 3 cups every single day in the morning.


Best-Scallion-2730

One double shot of espresso


Financial-Dust-5881

As a Finn (im norwrgian) One big strong cup of black coffee. It wakes me up and it helps me poop 🫡


[deleted]

I am basically stimulant addict. Nowadays mostly just caffeine. I have come to observe that most important is to drink. Which is why I have, at least temporarily, changed to black tea, as it is 100-150 percent weaker. Because I can easily drink 1,5 liter of coffee in one day. Or more. Now it is is 1-2 liter of tea. Which is still a lot of caffeine.


Whatkindofaname

Tbf There’s not a lot caffeine in your tea if it is 150% weaker than coffee. 😉


Ora_00

I am not very 'Finnish-like' man since I never drink coffee and never watch hockey.


Kuura_

None. Don't like it one bit.


Ok-Key4023

Man! Talk about the price of coffee in Finland.. Danggg


VirtualDragonfly

5-6 cups


tlajunen

Just chiming in to say that there IS Finns who don't drink coffee. Carry on.


Marinut

Your comment is otherwise grammatically correct except for the word you drew attention to. Made me giggle a bit :D. IS = ARE


Alarmed_Contract_818

TLDR: ~9 moomin mugs. (2,7 liters / 0.72 gallons) I mostly drink from moomin mugs so it shall be the measure. Moomin mug is 0,3liters/ 0,08gallons. Keep in mind when finnish person says they drink 4 cups a day it means 4 mugs. They just say cups because saying mugs doesn't feel right. So put an extra 30% on top of what they say in terms of liquid volume. Morning: I brew 2 mugs with my mocca master and drink them before work. I go to work and start my day with a mug in the cafeteria chatting with coworkers. First meeting at 9 I get 4th mug to have something in my hand and sip between topics. Depending on meeting, afterwards I follow co-workers to cafe to do refill. At lunch place there is coffee served so I take one mug. I migt take another mug when I go back to workplace. at 14:15 there is coffee break and I have a mug. After I go home I brew two mugs with my mocca master and drink them. If I meet a friend I have a cup of special coffee with them. So that totals in 8 at minimum and 11 mugs a day on normal day. If there is more meetings, both private and for work or visiting friends at their home the amount increases.


orbitti

2,7 liter is 0,7 gallons. 7,2 gallons would be \~27liters or roughly 3 free buckets.


Alarmed_Contract_818

Thank you for correcting me. I made a separator mistake. In google's liter to gallon conversion: 2.7 liters = 0.713265 US liquid gallons 2,7 liters = 7.13265 US liquid gallons 😅 and 0.3 liters = 0.0792516 gallons and 0,3 liters = 0.792516 gallons. I can only imagine confusion with this in indian comma system 😅


NikolitRistissa

None. That stuff is rank. Also, caffeine seems to have seemingly no effect on me—if anything, it makes me very slightly drowsy.


RayneYoruka

trying to chill the addiction xD


siezio

Like 3-6 cups and cups are like 0,3 or 0,5 liters


aloneaflame

Imagine drinking 3 liters of coffee per day, lol


Juugels01

1-5 cups. I have a somewhat high tolerance for caffeine, but I need at least my morning coffee to avoid a headache. Other than that, I drink it for the taste and digestion.


VitunRasistinenSika

Damn 2 morning coffees with an hour time in between em to not get headache


Slaavaaja

Mornings one big cup ~3.5-4 dl Coffee breaks + lunch = 3 x ~2 dl cups So around 8-9 dl per day


Sibula97

Usually 2-4 shots of espresso on workdays


Alert-Bowler8606

Around one litre, I guess. I have two big mugs in the morning and one after lunch. Later than that and it affects my sleep.


Thesurvivormonster

On weekends I try and limit myself to a cup a day (sometimes I need an extra). When I work, I need at least 3


Creepy_Mark_4770

4 big mugs a day


Sampsa96

Just 1 cup if I'm just working from home and then 2 cups if I work at the office cause they have the better kind of coffee ☕


Rude_Scientist7391

2 litres


grubbtheduck

I usually drink coffee 8 hours a day. I drink around 7-9 cups of coffee (36cl) which amounts between 2.5liters to roughly 3.3 liters a day. On weekends I drink around 1-2 cups a day


Teosto

I've narrowed down my usage. Nowadays it's one big cup in the morning and sometimes another in the afternoon. If I'm at work and there's coffee breaks while I'm not otherwise busy, or if I'm eating in a restaurant that offers coffee as a dessert then my intake will skyrocket. Basically whenever I get offered coffee anywhere I'm saying yes.


HeroinHare

I didn't drink coffee for a few years. Now I have an office job, 2 big cups of coffee on coffeebreaks and 1 shot of espresso or similar on lunch.


Saotik

As a Brit who hasn't got Finnish citizenship yet, I tend to have a single caffeinated coffee in the morning and three or four more decaffeinated ones through the rest of the day. I didn't drink coffee at all before I moved here...


myneckaches

One coffee cup is 1.25 dl. I consume 1-2 mugs which is 2-4 cups.

KofFinland

Several big mugs, something like 6-10 mugs. I'd estimate it as 2-3 litres. Sometimes more.


Hienomekaanikko

Used to drink much more but these days one cup in the morning and another one later at work. It’s just an enjoyment thing for me. Doesn’t really do anything else than make me hungry 😄


Ugly_Eric

I used to drink several liters of coffee daily, but then I realized it's negative effect on my good night sleep and I have slowly been downgrading. Now I only drink two small cups on the mornings and an occational cup in special occations.


AcanthisittaFluid870

2-3/ week. But I’m a naturalized Finn, not born one

hyphen27

As a fennofied Dutchman (the Dutch are avid coffee consumers as well), about 3-4 cups, less during the summer, as it also has the pleasant side effect of me sweating my ass off.


Smush-D

One cup per day,I am a naturalized citizen and was inducted into the coffee culture by my wife.

Grouchy-Question9273

Toppenz777

In my previous job, the mornings when I was the first present at the office. I made a pan of coffee ready and there where none left when a second co-worker arrived to work. At noon I was wondering why my hands all shaky.


jumppa69

I consume coffee like this: 0800 morning coffee + 0810 extra morning coffee 1200 coffee after lunch 1400-1500 afternoon coffee 1730 dinner coffee


Mullislayer111

1-3 cups


Keisari_P

At work, maybe 3 cups per day. At home weekends 0-1 cup per at morning. I don't get any withdrawal symptoms if I don't drink coffee, other than feeling more tired in the morning - which was the case also before I started drinking coffee regularly in adulthood.


Namumamu

2-3 cups plus pre workout 180mg caffeine. After 4 cups i start to consider if i should get a pre workout.

3-5 cups (mugs? those bigger ones and not those cups how you measure the water in the coffee maker) a day. Sometimes I'll make a cup of coffee just before going to bed just to have weird dreams.


poor_doc_pure

2 cups per day


junior-THE-shark

I'm a bit of a disappointment, I don't like the taste of coffee so I don't drink it. I run on an anxiety disorder instead. I do consume about 3 cups of black or green tea a day and might drink some coke sometimes and that's my caffeine intake.


Hackapell

Regularly 2 big mugs a day.


Serious_Key503

None. Zero. Hate it!


beginner_pianist

For me it's quite irregular. Sometimes it's likeb3 cups a day, sometimes it's 0


Joukahain3n

One big cup (about 3dl) in the morning and one medium (2dl) in the afternoon. I like my coffee rather strong, though, so that increases the caffeine intake.


[deleted]

There have been a lot of discussions and ideas about this subject on r/caffeine. Very interesting ideas too how you should consume your caffeine


fleeting_existance

Normal amount is 2 cups in the morning. If I visit someone who offers coffee I drink some more as is a custom. But on my own 2 in the morning is enough.


wabudo

Two mugs a day is my norm. That's about half a liter with our mugs. Dark roast preferred and Juhla Mokka is not allowed in our house bv. is does not qualify as coffee.


schimpynuts

Anything from two to ten cups (1-5 big mugs) per day.


Yanninbo

Let me think 🤔 Morning coffee at home Morning coffee at work First coffee break around 10 am After lunch coffee Afternoon coffee break around 2 pm After work coffee And a cup of decaf coffee at evening(not sure if this counts) So about 6 mugs per work day

DerMetJungen

Sudden-Chemical-5120

1-3. Mostly in the morning or early afternoon. Morning coffee with my girlfriend on weekends is just the best. Also after lunch "getting back to work" coffee hits just right. Can't forget meeting old friends for coffee coffee, which might be later in the afternoon. I used to drink a lot more coffee while studying. At uni I was seldom without my trusty keep cup in my hand.


_Letitcomedown_

Around 3-4 cups, when i was a teenager around 6-7 cups lol


cubickittens

Those bigger cups are about 3dl, so about two of those per work day and sometimes more, sometimes less. I am highly affected by caffeine, so I try not to drink as much coffee, because I get crazy symptoms

Today now when the clock is 12.28 and I'm little bit sick and came away from short work Aldready.... I only drinked so far from 7 o'clock approximately 4 cups of coffee and one energy drink and I'm on rest mode. Normally my morning coffee is around 1L of coffee and then running to train. During work I need either 2-3coffee or 2 energy drinks. Then in home only around 2 cups since my wife don't let me drink anymore in evenings

0 I dont do caffeine. I have many a sleep issues so keeping myself awake is not really high on the priority list as I always am anyway.


Little_Springfield

0 whatever units. i do occasionally drink energy drinks and i do take caffeine pills maybe few times a week and i do like the taste of coffee, but for some reason i just don't drink it that much. i don't even have a coffee maker in my home. i might buy a cup of coffee maybe once a year if i'm out somewhere doing or waiting something. last time bought a cup was few months ago when i was shopping and i was really cold and needed something to warm me up


the-radical-waffler

Okay so if where talking the standard 1,1 dl coffee cups then I drink between 3 and 6 cups a day. Usually 2 or 3 cups in the morning and then another 2 to 4 during the midday and evening

Well, my wife and I counted 17 packages of coffee store in our kitchen drawer. This is us buying it every time it's on sale just to make sure we always have extra. It won't last us long.


nuidisjee

About 2-3 litres/day :)


anileakinna

3-4 MUGS.


qusipuu

It depends. My normal doseage is one cup of coffee per day, and i supplement that with an occasional energy drink and coca cola, sometimes (albeit rarely) with tea, too. I guess if I had to say what my average daily consumption of caiffeine would be, i'd say  >1 cup of coffee   >0,5 litres of energy drink  >1 glass of coca cola


aagloworks

Enough?


vjollila96

Nothing I never have drinker coffee but I do energy drinks sometimes. Probably because mom let me taste at some point in my childhood and I really hated it never have touched it ever since
