About 10 grams per day for an adult is considered a lethal dose

A cup of coffee is about 100 mg, so you would have to drink about 100 cups of coffee to get there.

But that's not really what you were asking. Easy to get to too much especially if you are too busy to eat. Then your work suffers.

Apparently it is fun to give caffeine and other drugs to spiders...
