What better time than an early Saturday morning to approximate just how much coffee I have consumed since drinking my first cup of Folgers. I still remember that chilly fall day, some time in my twelfth year or so. Oh, just a little bitter but with a shot of milk I was hooked.
Many times I have blamed my lack of height on all the coffee that has passed down this gullet. Or maybe it's genetic; The folks on my Mom's side of the family are all pretty short. Maybe my lack of height is due to my questionable appreciation for good whisky. Maybe... ah... I digress.
So... How much coffee have I sipped, slurped or gulped since that chilly fall day? Let'e do the math, shall we?
| Years of drinking coffee: | 33 |
| Average cups per day: | 4 |
| Number of coffee drinking days: | 12,405 |
| Total number of cups: | 48,108 |
| Fluid Ounces: | 385,440 |
| Fluid Pounds: | 24,090 |
| Fluid Tons: | 12 |
| Gallons: | 3,011 |
| Grams of ground coffee per cup: | 9 |
| Pounds of ground coffee: | 956 |
DAMN, that's a lot of coffee! Think I will go make myself another pot.
