Wow, I thought I was a heavy coffee drinker!
What I drink varies a lot, anything from 3 or 4 mugs of instant to 3 moka pots (6-cup pots) of coffee and a fair few instant coffees.
If you are drinking 21 coffees and are not flying you probably need to moderate your intake a bit until you notice it working again. Caffeine is a very heavy drug I think, if I take a couple of weeks off and have a few espressos the hit is quite ridiculous.

Man, 21 cups? That would make me feel terribly nervous.
I stopped drinking coffee...my stomach can't handle it. I feel it is just cheating on my body..I will feel uplifted for a short time, and then very tired when it wears off.

I don't drink it more than three times a week. But when I do, it's a fairly powerful brew. I like to keep my caffeine tolerance at least semi-low, so that way when I do drink it (the whole pot) I get a prominent buzz off of it.
mmmm... caffeine :d

I don't like coffee. Never did. I always wanted to like it, but always hated the taste. I don't like the way it makes me feel (can create almost like a chemical depression), and when I found out later in life that caffiene from other sources was making my Irritable Bowel Syndrome much worse than it should be, it was all I needed to stay away from caffiene and especially coffee.
i like it a great deal
i like it black and strong, medium roast
but effects vary for me from brand to brand and from roast to roast
i don't look at it as all the same stuff
i drink perhaps 2 large cups a day, sometimes less, sometimes more
those cups are perhaps 16oz, so i drink something like 30 fluid ounces of it a day.
I love the flavor of good black coffee, but the good stuff is rare
I do like bitter flavors though most people do not seem to like them.

No coffee but tea daily(and hot chocolate), gives me all the caffeine I need.
Coffee is kind of amphetamine of the grandmothers, I think it's too much caffeine for daily use(well especially if one drinks more than one cup). But it's way popular so everyone should do whatever they like. Just one should try not to get addicted:wink:

WOW. This just proves people are very different. I'm so sensitive to coffee that I had to give it up.
one cup before 8am and I can't sleep that night. I can literally still feel the effects of it the next day.
21 cups? Man my heart would explode...not to mention my ass!

There's a joke that scientists are devices for turning coffee into results, and being scientists, they've taken it literally.

LOLled.
21 cups of anything isn't good to you, even water(depending on some factors), so 21 cups, really?

coffee n cones! the perfect contradiction. some days i'll drink it some days I won't, never more than 2 mugs daily only because it would make me sick. I will rarely drink coffee if I dont have my Ganja. Always brew!
Waking up brewing a pot, chopping a bowl and chillin with some reggae, thats how I start my day. well some daze. routines are for machines.

I think coffee may be one of those things that is like a 'short-acting addiction'. Like if I have a couple of strong coffees in one specific day, a few hours later I crash and need another one to wake me up again - like you chase it on the day. A bit like crack. :twisted:
To be fair I dont think I have drunk it in excessive amounts, though I did have a few very intense Guayasa days a while back, trying to sort a good dosage out. With that I felt no need to 'chase' it. But i digress...
It really clearly does effect certain people and is very addictive, maybe more psychologically than physically - you know, office workers saying they 'cant function without a cup' (junkies :lol: ). d*l*b, do you feel no withdrawal at all (headaches, irritability) when you dont get a 'fix'? I think many people do, but then aagain it could be more in the mind than the body...

My mom is long-term addicted to coffee. If she doesn't have a cup of coffee in the morning, she goes through withdrawals with intense migranes. When she gets surgeory, she finds ways to sneak coffee or caffeine even if the doctors tell her not to. The addictive side to caffeine is serious and can be most certainly physical.

I drink around 2-3 cups a day these days, so around 500-600 ml a day, in the morning/until noon. But I lately realized that I need to stop it altogether (along with tobacco, very very bad combination I know, but I'm working on that as well), because of the long-term effects: insomnia, flushed face, feelings of anxiety sometimes persistent all day long. These just to mention a few. I have been using coffee for 6 years, up to 5-6 mugs per day sometimes, during various social occasions or work meetings or such, so I have been dealing with lots of other effects, but I have seemed to be able to tone them down (irritability, dehydration, headaches).
21 cups, that's quite something, look out for your health, man.
