A latte is an espresso drink. I think some of the PPs are making what’s called an iced coffee.

Mine don't drink any coffee. Prefer coke, pepsi or tea.

Johns Hopkins says no. Too much can inhibit sleep, which might have repercussions. Would you have the same concern over a can of coke? The caffeine amount is similar.


Yes, as well as strong black tea, which is what I drink. My teen has growth problems, so because of the possibility that caffeine may impact his growth, he stays away from caffeine.

Not interested in drinking coffee yet. We have suggested she keep caffeine consumption to 70 mg per day while still growing. Once the moody stage starts I might just hand her a coffee in the morning and retreat though!

My fourteen year old started drinking a cup of coffee with me every morning about a year ago.

I actually love it. It feels like something fun we enjoy together.

Mine will drink a double espresso if he wakes up tired or needs to stay up late to do homework. Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending how you look at it), it doesn't really help him stay awake. (I can drink a cup of strong black coffee right before bed and it has no effect on me).

My son wants it but with lots of sugar and milk, so it’s a weekend treat only.

Yep. I make him an iced latte every morning

Only way we can get out the door at 6:30 am

The Frappuccino thread got me thinking? How much coffee does your teen drink? Mine has a large coffee every morning. Seems like a lot. But he says it’s necessary to stay awake for school.
