I swear i drink between 5-10 cups a day depending on my hours.
Is that bad for your health? does it make you fat? I'm starting to wonder if I should stop drinking so much. I feel like this much coffee can't be good for you (but i just love it).

im a tea junkie here. But i dont think coffee will make you fat, well actually depends on what you put in it. Plus to much caffine isnt good either.

No way. I hate coffee.
Actually, come to think of it, I don't really like any hot drinks. I can drink tea and hot chocolate, but I don't love them.

Black coffee has no calories to speak of, but if you're putting in milk or cream and sugar, then you're adding calories.
That much caffeeine, however, is not good for you. 5-10 cups a day really isn't healthy. I've heard 1-2 cups a day is fine, but that much more than that cannot be healthy... especially if you also are getting caffeine from other sources - soda, chocolate, etc.
It can lead to high blood pressure and some other health problems if you're consistently taking in that much caffeine.
It's a difficult habit to break, though -- I know many people suffer withdrawal symtoms when they give it up or cut back all together.

Actually, tea and coffee (if you dont put cream or heavy milk in it) can make you burn calories. Caffene speeds up your metobolism and helps you burn calories. Coffee is also a diaretic (sp?) which makes you loose water, so you would be loosing water weight (if you have any).
But in general, caffene isnt great for you. I wouldnt worry about drinking it too much, but I usually have one cup a day and then stick to water the rest of the day.

I am! I drink coffee only at work, when I get home I don't drink it at all. But I only drink maybe 2 cups of coffee a day at work.

I'm a reformed coffee junkie. there are 2 habits to break, 1st the caffeine addiction, and 2nd the habit of always having a warm beverage with you.
Since #2 is harmless, I swapped out caf for decaf for all but the first cup in the morning. Sure, headache city at first, but now I'm fine, and never went back! (This was in 1992 when I was in college)

Re: Is anyone else addicted to the coffee machine?
it can dehydrate you!! And too much caffenine is not good. But, ya, I lve the keriug machine at work. green mountain coffee is sooo good- but it makes my teeth yellow so I have to whiten more often. And, only one cup a day for me or I dont sleep at night.
