Seems excessive to me but I don't drink coffee. How big is the cup?

Medium to big. @midnightrose
@Rusham This is what I found:
•When they talk about the benefits they mean black coffee (no milk,creamer, or sugar).
•About 400 mgs is the amount of caffeine for healthy adults. Less if you're caffeine sensitive.
•If you're feeling jittery, irritable or nauseous that could mean you've reached your limit.
•An study in Australia found that [quote]"In order to maintain a healthy heart and a healthy blood pressure, people must limit their coffees to fewer than six cups a day – based on our data six was the tipping point where caffeine started to negatively affect cardiovascular risk,” says Hyppönen.

“Knowing the limits of what’s good for you and what’s not is imperative. As with many things, it’s all about moderation; overindulge and your health will pay for it,” Hyppönen concludes.[/quote]

Thank you for taking the time to research that. @midnightrose
