Are you going to drink (even more) coffee now?

Dear teachers,Emotion: smile

We just learned that drinking coffee is good for health. I would like to ask a question but I don’t know where I should put the words “even more.”
Are you going to drink (even more) coffee now?

Thanks in advance,

It depends what you mean. The first emphasizes the quantity of coffee. The second emphasizes how frequently the coffee is drunk.
