Pancake Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 Serious! It's not like it says on the jar is it! And it doesn't say don't have another coffee straight after either! I'm really tired and i just want to put millions of coffee in the cup. But also don't wanna die or something. Lulz. Soooo, can i put about 2 spoonfuls in?
Rummy Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 How big is the spoon? Maybe there is no spoon. Ususally I put just over 1 and a bit. But really it depends on your spoon. And your coffee. And on nothing. I'd say put just about 1, though. Maybe 2. Don't put 5.
Pancake Posted December 10, 2011 Author Posted December 10, 2011 How dare you be so vague in your instructions... my life is at stake! Oh it's just a teaspoon btw :p So one heaped teaspoon, yes??
Retro_Link Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 Just add a teapoon of water to the Coffee jar and stir. *wait*
Serebii Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 100g per cup! Only if you like your coffee strong though
Pancake Posted December 10, 2011 Author Posted December 10, 2011 Hehe thanks guys, i am liking these suggestions
The Bard Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 It depends whether you just want stay awake a little longer, or want to induce euphoria/ panic (depending on your psychological disposition).
Wesley Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 No kidding though... Why are you using a cup? I usually just pour a bit from the container straight to my mouth. I know that's a bit gross, but if other people are using it then I'll use a spoon and just spoon it in my mouth.
Pancake Posted December 10, 2011 Author Posted December 10, 2011 It depends whether you just want stay awake a little longer, or want to induce euphoria/ panic (depending on your psychological disposition). It barely even keeps me awake at the best of times, so i doubt it could ever induce euphoria! I seem to be quite resilient to caffeine. I get jealous of these people and their "caffeine highs".
Retro_Link Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 @Wesley Yeah that's wierd! ... unless you then pour in a bit of hot water and a splash of milk into your mouth aswell?

Charlie Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 The simple answer is as much as you want. There's no recommended maximum caffeine intake for a day. I took 3 Annadin Extra this morning which have 45mg each as I'm not particularly well at the moment (headache, tired, flu like symptoms) and had to work. I then had a 500ml can of Relentless which has 30mg / 100ml. That's a total of around 300mg in the space of a couple of hours and there are/were no negative side effects. Just be sensible about it. You're better off having a smaller cup of coffee and then if 20 mins later when te caffeine has kicked in, if you feel you need it, have another.

I've heard that there IS a max daily intake recommendation though (can't remember what it is). And the leaflet for Pro Plus tablets (caffeine in pill form) is says not to take more than two, and no more than once every 4 hours. I know caffeine raises your heart rate for a start, i can feel my heart beating faster if i've had a double expresso.

All instant coffee I've tried is gross, so I have no relevant advice to give
Goafer Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 Pro Plus is your friend. I took a whole heap of them at work and saw the future.
Wesley Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 Ahhh Pro Plus. I took two packets for a bet and stayed up all night vomiting. But that was a long time ago when I was stupid. I'm not stupid any more though guys. Right?
Raining_again Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 Of course there is a maximum amount you can have o_O Just like any mineral on the planet... I've got excessive histamine in my body (causes oedema and anaphylaxic shock) and I've found caffeine to be the best remedy for it. If you're a n00b to coffee I would make it up with half a teaspoon of the granules, and taste it, then add more if you can cope with it.
Goafer Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 Ahhh Pro Plus. I took two packets for a bet and stayed up all night vomiting. It worked then.
Fierce_LiNk Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 The question should be "How many cups can I put in coffee?" Take your average container of coffee, and see how many children's tea party style cups you can fit into it.
Frank Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 Just experiment until you find your preferred taste. There's no wrong amount with coffee. I'm a snob so I rarely drink silly instant coffee. With machines etc. I use four spoonfuls which makes 1 + 1/2 large cups of coffee. With instant -- I use 2 heaped tea spoons, some milk and about 4 spoons of sugar.
Cube Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 http://www.energyfiend.com/death-by-caffeine Just don't go over that limit and you'll be perfectly fine*. *Note: "Perfectly fine" may be a lie.
Raining_again Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 300 cups?! I think the water toxicity would probably get to me before I managed to have that many...! I also found out once that it takes 9 KILOGRAMMES of chocolate to poison yourself.
