How long will Becky's caffenol work?

We all know by now that our very own Becky is experimenting with the lifespan of Caffenol.
When everybody thought it would last about 24 hours, her solution has been working for a full 4 days without showing signs of weakening.
So, I thought I'd turn this into a bit of a game.

How long will it last?

You can change your mind as long as it doesn't fail.

Game Over

The count stopped at 16 days...

The average guess is 22.86 days. Not bad considering the wide range and small sample size we had.
