Ray Peat on his own personal coffee consumption
-
"A pound of coffee might last me 3 days. I'm not sure, but I use as much for a cup as Folgers says to use for a quart. When the concentrated mixture is mixed with milk, the mixture is stronger than standard restaurant coffee."
According to the internet, you can make between 24 and 46 cups of coffee with a pound.
24/3 days = 8 strong cups / day
46/3 days = 15.3 weak cups / dayI don't think anyone really knows exactly how much coffee Ray Peat drank, but I do think it's safe to say that he drank a lot of coffee.

Dr. Peat said that coffee consumption lowers cancer chances, really kicking in at 5 cups per day. My research shows it peaks at 4 cups per day, of course depending on how strong the cups are.
Either way, I don't fathom how he drank that much coffee. I drink 3 cups of very strong coffee every day. I found that although I can drink coffee and fall asleep anytime, the sleep quality is not nearly as high when I have drank coffee within maybe 6 or 8 hours of sleep.

yes I do. I haven't noticed that coffee helps lower my need for thyroid.

@Ecstatic_Hamster When i first found peat I was in a very low energy stressed state and needed upwards to 7 cups of coffee just to function properly. After increasing my metabolic rate I dont need nearly as much. Two espressos and a caffeinated cola is the perfect ammount for me.
