I usually drink 3 tall mugs of iced coffee and a small pot of espresso (Mixed into the iced coffee) per day. I know it's not good for me. I'm addicted and I need help. Just... not right now.

Close to 700mg in total every day, I don't drink though, I take caffeine pills.
1 before sunrise 1 watching sunset to complete my day.
If I ever have coffee, I have the iced coffee at Starbucks. :O
I had the same experience. And I can connect very well to the "limitless " because I actually felt the same in the beginning.
But later after years my health begin to deteriorate. And as per my personal experience you should decaf for a while. Try limiting coffee.I have quit coffee and I rely more upon natural foods for energy boosting. If you really want to focus on health rather than just temporary energy boost than you should think of a healthy alternative.

None.
I don't drink coffee!
I will occasionally have a cup of coffee. Maybe once every two or three months. It's like hot cocoa for me: it's a treat, not a necessity.
My father, mother and sister are addicted to it though. They each drink 2 to 4 cups a day. My dad is the worst. I'm pretty sure half of his coffee consists of creamer. For him, he likes the sugar and the caffeine.
I get my energy/caffeine in other ways. I drink this super gross drink in the morning: juice, cacao, wheat grass, spirulina and aloe. It tastes like licking a chocolate fish's asshole. But I don't have a problem with energy or staying interested and focused anymore.
I also drink a lot of water. I average about 6 to 8 glasses a day. It's been super hot outside lately (105+ degrees Fahrenheit) so I've been drinking 12 glasses a day. I also love, LOVE tea and lemonade. And if I just want a treat, I'll have a piece of dark chocolate (it has to be at least 75% or more).
All of these things give me energy (maybe not the lemonade but the rest do). That way I don't feel like I need coffee. And, when I actually have coffee, it does its job.
A nice espresso in the morning keeps me alive for the rest of the day without any problems.
I don't drink coffee, at all.

Coffee once or twice a week. I prefer green tea.
3-4 cups per day ( espresso btw )
