Veyatziv- Have you tried Green or White Tea? These teas have less cafeine than Coffee and may be what you are looking for in a drink to finish the nightly chores.
Sorry, shindy. I was completely joking – I have no idea “how much” is OK and I would imagine it varies by individual greatly.
Yank the Aussie: I juice fruits all the time. When I have a cold I squeeze every citrus I can find into a cup and drink it. But that has nothing to do with coffee. And as for Ginseng and Guarana – I don’t care if the molecular structure is exactly the same as coffee – that is the same argument that splenda uses to substitute itself for sugar. If you want to quote me the Rambam on “being shomer the guf” then avoid these products. Coffee is much less of a problem.
jewish feminist- nothing to be proud of. Its as if id say that I never ate peppers in my life(i dont like them!!!). Anyway- nothing wrong with a cup of coffee a day, even two.
tzippi
why?
if its not too complicated.
nothing wrong with one cup a day after that you shouldnt drink more its not healthy i say try to cut down a drop
Just in case anyone missed my post earlier in this thread, I just wanted remind you that my brother had a horrible seizure (while driving a car with his wife and 9 children). He drank around 12 cups of coffee a day. The doctors told him the coffee was one of the factors that gave him the seizure. It caused him to get dangerously high blood pressure. He started out with just 1 cup, which led to 2 cups, then 3 cups, until he reached the 12+ cup mark. His doctor forbade him from drinking even one little cup of coffee ever again. You never know how many cups of coffee can be toxic for you body. Some people’s bodies are more sensitive than others. If you’re going to consume large amounts of coffee, I would suggest buying a home blood pressure monitor (you can get them for cheap or even free now days), and see a doctor more regularly. Also, keep your eyes open to any new symptoms you may be experiencing, the earlier you catch things, the better your chances are for recovery.
“Totally nothing to be proud of, on the contrary you don’t know what you’re missing!”
I just tried my first cup of coffee yesterday and really liked it. I drank it with lots of milk and sugar, so the flavor wasn’t quite so strong, which made me realize that that’s also an important factor to consider. I don’t know how you all take your coffee; maybe you drink it black, in which case this isn’t relevant. But aside from the nutritional value of the coffee itself, it’s important to monitor the amounts of milk/cream/sugar/half and half/splenda or whatever else you put in your coffee.
Even having discovered that I like coffee, I would never drink more than one or two small cups a day for fear of addiction.
Smartcookie, it’s not a fair analogy, because peppers don’t come with any dangers of addiction or other health risks. I happen to love peppers, and I could tell you that you don’t know what you’re missing, but I recognize that people have different tastes. So it was with me and coffee until yesterday.
Mazel Tov jewishfeminist! Now that you broke this barrier, finally you as a woman are no longer oppressed!
I’ve read repeatedly that articles and studies about coffee are generally talking 6+ cups per day.
re feivel: why hyper patients should avoid RAI even though the vast majority of the endocrinologists in the US recommend it:
It will leave a patient hypO for life, and not all docs modulate it well. (I have undying thanks to Rebbetzin Weisenfeld zt”l for bringing up that point, which made me think it over.)
The risk of developing thyroid eye disease increases; if already present it will almost definitely be exacerbated.
Many more reasons. Check out the graves_support@yahoogroup board. The homepage, when I last checked it out is excellent.
To the olam: does this win the prize for greatest tangent from the original topic 😉
Squeak, that’s not funny.
Tzippi, this doesn’t come close to winning the prize. My vote goes to the “How to Block the Internet from my Children” thread, but there are plenty of others.
As a side note, this thread should really be called “*Are* 3 Cups of Coffee a Day Too *Many*” and not “*Is* 3 Cups of Coffee a Day Too *Much*”. (Nitpicking, perhaps, but I’m a grammar enthusiast. Yes, one of those.)
I had coffee again this morning. I definitely like it, but I will monitor how much I drink.
squeak, I did enjoy your comment.
jf02, Don’t start bad habits. Whats the mitzvah of drinking coffee?
As I said, I’m going to monitor how much coffee I drink so that it doesn’t become an addiction or a “bad habit.” No, there’s no mitzvah to drink coffee. Can you honestly tell me that every action you take in life is a mitzvah? I don’t believe that’s possible.
tzippi,
Rebbetzin Weisenfeld z”l was a distant relative of mine & someone I very much admired, so I for one appreciated that tangent.
People, drink coffee! Its a great start to the day and really wakes you up with that hot golden liquid pouring down your throat! Ahhhh….I’m off for my second one!
i dont like coffee but is it the same w/ soda or a/t that has caffiene? with 3 cups or 6 or whatever
BS”D
If I need to get up early and stay up late I drink about a quart of double strength coffee with added cocoa powder either before or after shacharis. I try not to do it too often.
itzik, that doesn’t kill your stomach? did it once at like 3am and i was doubled over in pain the entire next day. never tried it again.
BS”D
It isn’t the healthiest thing to do – let’s put it that way.
Itzik, for your situation I would recommend using duct tape to hold your eyelids open. Coffee is for enjoyment.
BS”D
LOL – never found the taste of coffee too enjoyable except as a yogurt or ice cream flavor. for me it is a cheaper and more natural version of Red Bull.
Is red bull kosher?
~a~
anonymiss: i think SOME are, but not all, but don’t rely on me.$
anonymisss: & don’t try it!!!!!
why not? it’s cool stuff. just one problem: you know you’re in trouble when it stops working. i have a friend that could drink two cans and then go to sleep for the night.
anonymisss- I think it was kosher, but not anymore… 🙁
moish01: she’s a girl anonymisss!!! she’ll proboly die from that stuff!!! i’m just sayin………!!!!
I actually used to drink it a while ago and then I heard that it’s not anymore, like beacon said. Devastating news! Red bull is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
~a~
BS”D
As far as I know, Red Bull was and remains kosher under the supervision of Dayan Elzas of the “Federation” of London. The Red Bull site still has the same information which is that it is kosher supervised but does not mention the agency.
BS”D
Just to be sure, check Red Bull by calling or writing to Rabbi Eliezer Eidlitz from KosherQuest. He is very reliable and will always go out of his way to get and provide up to date information.
Itzik, it is my guess that you never tasted coffee. Drinking instant does not count. See the other coffee thread (which is titled for some reason “How much time do you spend on YWN).
time for cup 2. 16 ounces of hot coffee with 2% milk and no sugar. ahhhh :o) usually, I get to it earlier, but I had to clean off the cars and shovel the driveway (maybe I should put this on the 1 chesed a day thread)
got to go with the whole milk mod 72.
BS”D
You are right Squeak. I have not tasted real coffee and I am referring to instant.
mod72,
if I provide cup number 3 will you shovel my driveway? 🙂
charlie, don’t push it. these guys can’t be bribed i tried a cigar, vodka, and scotch yesterday. no response.
how do u shovel rain and slush
yeah, but maybe coffee will work. This is the coffee room you know. 🙂 Have you tried cold hard cash?
…coming right up…
flatbush- you wait for the city’s snowplows to come a rollin down your street… and permanently bury you, your car and you’re house under the muck

what – my coffee-making abilities? don’t worry, they don’t go further than the computer screen. couldn’t do that to save my life.
charlie brown, it is too late for cup 3, however, I can be over shortly for cup 4. Do you mind if I wait a little bit to do the shoveling… say… maybe July?
moish01 – truly impressive!
