Jake Shears has revealed how much coffee he consumes every day… and the amount may leave you speechless.
When it comes to the question of how much coffee is acceptable to drink every day, you’re likely to get a variety of different replies.
Some may argue that one is sufficient, while others may argue that numerous are required… But how do you feel about eight shots of coffee?
Last night on ‘s Never Mind The Buzzcocks, Scissor Sisters star Jake confessed that’s how much he consumes on a daily basis, leaving the rest of the panel stunned.
Greg Davies, the show’s host, asked the artist if he would clarify how much coffee he drank every day, and the 44-year-old said that he drinks two cappuccinos a day, each of which has four shots, for a total of eight.
‘My researcher tells me that you open a day with eight shots of espresso,’ Greg announced, with his statement sparking gasps from the other members of the panel.
‘I do,’ Jake answered. ‘I have one four-shot cappuccino first thing, and then when I’m done with that, I go and I get another four-shot cappuccino.’
Despite his admission shocking some in the studio, the singer stressed: ‘It’s not that big of a deal, but people find it shocking.’
Nonetheless, Greg advised Jake to carry a defribillator on his back like a turtle, just in case.
Meanwhile, comedian Jamali Maddix deemed Jake to be a true “bad boy,” with his leather jacket adding to the rebellious image.
So, do you think you’d ever attempt two four-shot cappuccinos a day? Or is one cup of coffee enough for you in the morning?
According to the British Heart Foundation‘s dietician Victoria Taylor, having four to five cups of coffee per day “should be fine for most people.”
‘Research shows that this level of caffeine intake shouldn’t be detrimental to your heart health, affect your cholesterol levels or heart rhythm,’ her advice continued.
‘Although drinking coffee has been shown to increase blood pressure, this effect is usually temporary and is minimised over time if you drink caffeinated drinks regularly.’
