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.

    I use those big Folgers plastic canisters to store compost, before taking it to the pile. But like your aim here, "one or two is enough"

    A friend of mine scaled back coffee and cigarettes in quick succession, with the aid of lots of chicory brew. I can definitely recommend this.

        It is. A bit more expensive than coffee, but worth it.

        Also black/green tea is an option, I go through a lot of tea.

        I would buy a small thing of chicory before you go whole hog. It isn't super expensive but it is extremely bitter. I'm an IPA lord and it was too much for me.
