hey ben. i can't really answer your question in terms of how many cups because i only have 2 cups per day, but those 2 cups are 3-4x the strength of standard coffee.
In india the most common form of coffee is instant coffee powder. and so what I would do is mix 3-4 teaspoons of coffee powder into hot water, dissolve it, then pour cold water over it to cool it down and chug it. and do that twice a day. so just to keep withdrawals at bay, i had 1/4 teaspoon of instant coffee powder the past couple days. It's the same method I tapered off of another brown substance in the past; experiencing major withdrawal but having just enough in my system to not be in complete shock.
i think i might have permanently altered my brain chemistry with my caffeine abuse. the whole reason i want to leave it behind is because it no longer serves me. I am super exhausted throughout the day, even with amounts of coffee that could kill a housecat. my sleep is very heavy and unrestful. i go about the day in a zombified state of mind - I thought it was so many other things causing the zombification before finally conceding that it's likely the coffee, and i'd only find out if i quit it.
yeah 1 coffee a day shouldn't be so bad, but i'm a guy of extremes and it's all or nothing for me D: it's safer to be at nothing. moderation was never my strong suit
