1-2 cups, all consumed before noon to minimize risk of sleep problems. Mix green tea with it, which reduces the jitters by balancing the caffeine with l-theanine which has a mild calming effect.
Green coffee has the highest levels of antioxidants and related phytonutrients, so if you can find a way to brew that feasibly, you'd likely be getting the greatest health benefits.
Some studies have found that one of the fats in coffee beans can increase cholesterol levels, and the effect depends on how you brew it. If you brew using a paper filter, the fat gets filtered out and there appears to be no cholesterol risk with this method.
Alternatively, tea in and of itself is also a great choice. I start every day with a 50 oz french press full of a half and half mix of green and black tea, with half a teaspoon each of turmeric and amla powder added. All the benefits, none of the downsides.
