I’ve recently been upping my coffee intake and I was wondering if I’ll develop a resistance to caffeine and it won’t wake me up anymore
realistically how much coffee should I drink to keep the caffeine effective?

The effectiveness of caffeine can vary widely from person to person due to factors such as genetics, tolerance, metabolism, and individual sensitivity. However, I can provide you with some general guidelines based on common recommendations and research.
For most people, a moderate dose of caffeine, around 100 to 200 milligrams, is typically effective for providing a noticeable increase in alertness, concentration, and energy. This is roughly equivalent to:
One 8-ounce (240 ml) cup of brewed coffee: 80-100 mg
One 8-ounce (240 ml) cup of black tea: 40-70 mg
One 12-ounce (355 ml) can of cola: 30-40 mg
One 2-ounce (60 ml) shot of espresso: 60-80 mg
It's important to note that individual responses to caffeine can vary widely. Some people may feel the effects of caffeine even with smaller doses, while others may require larger amounts to experience the same effects. Additionally, regular consumption of caffeine can lead to tolerance, where over time, the same dose of caffeine might have a reduced impact.
Consuming too much caffeine can lead to side effects like jitteriness, increased heart rate, anxiety, and insomnia. It's generally recommended not to exceed 400 milligrams of caffeine per day for most adults, but some individuals may be more sensitive and need to limit their intake even further.
If you're considering using caffeine for its effects, it's best to start with a moderate dose and pay attention to how your body responds. If you have any underlying health conditions or concerns, it's a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional before making significant changes to your caffeine consumption.
