Well between my rampant espresso habit and how many energy drinks I drank in the Marines/oilfield I should have been dead a few years ago.It's not how much coffee you drink, it's how much caffeine you consume in a day that counts. Cardiologist say keeping it under 200mg per day is best for your cardiovascular system. Any more and the silent killer will eventually get you.
Heck, I was raised on cowboy coffee. The cheaper the better because we had no money. Parents always said if we drank it my growth would be stunted. Glad I stopped at 6’!
Military coffee was instant or floor sweepings added to 1/4 pound of twice used grounds per 100 cup pot was the norm.
Company coffee was drinkable if double bags were used during the work life. Had to do that clandistanly as the company save a dime rats would turn me in.
Since retiring coffee has been one of the simple pleasures
In life. Special beans can be tailored to personal taste. It’s a fun adventure getting different beans to try before deciding on a daily brew.
Only time I ever drank coffee was if I was pulling a 24 hour shift or it was a 3am after a hard night of partying and I was waiting for the booze and drugs to wear off before I drove home. Luckily I outgrew that crap and no longer work so I no longer drink coffee. I do have some in my prep supplies for trading but that is it.
I was tire man for a trucking company, and common practice was that the first guy in that day would make coffee (large standing percolator with a spigot).
One guy would dump water in it, add a little fresh coffee to the old and then salt it. It wasn't bad as it sounds. Surprisinlgy, the salt killed the bitterness.
I'm not sure he ever made a fresh pot.

I learned that from a guy I roughneck'ed with that was a former truck driver.
As I'm sure you can confirm, it don't make it good, but it will make it drinkable.
Like another person here said I usually have 12-16 oz depending on if I need a kick in the pants. Then I switch to Diet DP or Diet Pepsi, though I might switch off of Diet Pepsi after hearing that they're sending business to south america at Kamala's behest to be more "equitable" with my money. How mighty nice of her.
I'm on my second 10oz. cup now.
My allergies kicked in big time overnight so I have bit of a sore throat today. I'll probably drink more coffee than usual throughout the day because it helps sooth it a little.

I can't do sugar and cream in my coffee.If you drink it black, sugar & cream should work even better (leaves it coated a bit).
Just a thought.

The closest I get to that is a little Irish Coffee now and then.
