In a nutshell:
 According to a study published in September in the Endocrine Society's
Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, consuming coffee and
caffeine in moderation on a regular basis could help prevent
conditions like type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, and stroke.
The amount the researchers found that had the most protective effects
was around 200-300 mg daily, or roughly 2-3 cups of coffee.

Healthy or not, I can't imagine starting my day without at least 2 cups of coffee. For me it's a necessity. Something is going to kill me eventually; why not coffee?

This is an error modern medicine frequently does. It assumes life is about quantity and completely forget about quality.
A doctor recently said my father was naughty and proposed a more vegetarian diet due to cholesterol concerns. My father rightly responded "never gonna happen" and that his focus is on quality over quantity. The doctor sighed, and prescribed a bit of cholesterol medicine. Both happy campers in the end! ;)
I drink about 0.5 to 0.8 liters of medium strong coffee per day.
