I drink two or three cups a day. It gets rid of the stress and keeps me awake. No way I
could live without it..

Tokyo is a coffee-drinking town.
Few people, it seems, can start their day without a steaming cuppa joe. We tracked down a
few of these bean fiends and asked how many cups does it take, what kind of jump start
does it give you, and would a day without coffee just be the same old grind?

I always start my day with coffee and have three or four cups a day. Coffee perks me up
and relaxes me, makes my cigarettes taste better and allows me to have a break at work.
Living without coffee? Impossible!

The amount of coffee I have every day depends on whether I' run out of teabags. Coffee
makes my toes curl—no doubt I could live without it.

SHOP WORKER
Every day I have about four/five cups. I love the smell, I get a break from work and it
relaxes me. I couldn't live without it.

Three cups a day usually. What it does for me? Keeps me regular... I could live without it
but my life would be a little less happy.
