Basic math? Are you unaware of how much coffee/tea/soda you consume in a given period or did you forget the /s?

I’m aware of the amount of coffee, but unaware of the caffeine content in that coffee

Coffee averages about 12mg per ounce. A quick estimate is better than nothing, so you can assume you should keep it below 36 oz per day, or 4 mugs, size dependant.

Filter coffee is around 150mg caffeine per cup.
Espresso 80mg per shot.
Thst should get you through the math of caffeine intake.

There’s a huge variance around this though. Size of cup, amount of ground coffee used, variety of coffee (robusta has much higher caffeine than arabica), how roasted it is… It might be around 150 mg per cup, but could easily be nearly half or nearly double that.

In my experience, judging from the subjective felt effect when drinking it, the amount of caffeine in filter coffee can vary by a factor 3x depending on brewing technique. I just came back from the U.K. and the hotel breakfast coffee there did less for me in three cups than a single cup from my Fellow Aiden coffee brewer at home. I used to cold brew coffee but had to stop because the apparently higher caffeine content gave me heart problems.

Caffeine pills. Alternatively, basically the same way you do alcohol

A cup of drip coffee is 150-200 on average. Multiply based on a pessimistic interpretation, then reduce.
You could also measure UV light absorbtion in the 260-280 nm band and compare to a calibration chart. That seems a lot more excessive than just estimating and working to reduce, as opposed to targeting a specific number.
