Someone Tracked How Much Coffee the 'Friends' Characters Drank Throughout the Series & It's Crazy

I’d be lying if I said I didn’t dream of living in an alternate New York where waitresses can afford spacious, beautiful apartments and said apartment is conveniently right above an aesthetic-pleasing coffee shop. Yes, like so many others, I wish I could live in the world of Friends, coffee intake included, of course. I'm not the only one jealous of the Friends gang’s access to caffeine—Refinery29 reports that one fan took the time to record how much coffee each of the show’s six main characters drank throughout the decade-long series.

Author Kit Lovelace apparently did this research a while ago, sharing an old chart on Twitter that displayed the ranking of coffee consumption. 

In a Twitter interview with HuffPost, Lovelace explained his method for tracking the characters' coffee drinking. "“If they were somewhere where there was no coffee...I would fast forward through the scene keeping an eye out for any potential mugs or cups. Any Central Perk scene or apartment scene where they were eating and drinking I watched.”

The weirdest part of this is that Lovelace says he's not even a diehard Friends fan—he genuinely just wanted to know who drank the most coffee. According to this research, Phoebe comes away as the most caffeinated at 227 cups, which makes sense. Remember how often she was chilling on the couch when someone else came to Central Perk with big news to share?

Although I think he has a little too much time on his hands, I'm impressed with Lovelace's data. What's next—tracking the drinking habits on How I Met Your Mother?
