Not proud to admit but I average 8 cups of coffee a day, my tolerance is through the roof. I also pound coffee in the morning because I'm so groggy from my night time meds. Can't be good for you! So I'm cutting back to six, then hopefully 4, then 2 strong cups. Weening seems like a good option.
Plus the price of coffee is outrageous, even the cheapo Folgers is $10 for the large.
Weaning is good. Trying to switch to teas to decrease overall consumption also helps and broadens your choices.
You can also try ersatz coffee, which is a 1 to 1 ratio of roasted chicory root and roasted dandelion root, or try swapping one or two cups with decaf to see how your body handles it. Sometimes it's just the habit of drinking coffee instead of the addiction to caffeine that can trip you up so having alternatives to help you cut down can also help as well
