One cup per day is probably OK. Coffee has 21 carcinogens, so don’t drink too much.
About four cups a day. Two to four cups even lowers the risk of a stroke with 10%. Pregnant women are advised to drink not more than one cup a day. Do you prefer espresso instead of regular coffee? Then it is up to three cups a day. Espresso contains cafestol, which raises the cholestrol level (and thus increases the risk of cardiovascular disease). Coffee made with coffee pods and coffee makers also contains cafestol. Filter coffee contains less of this substance.
It depends on how much you are drinking in each cup, and the strength of the coffee. However, if you are concerned about caffeine intake, the Mayo Clinic recommends you stop around 400mg per day.

That’s around 3 “normal” cups of coffee, or one Venti drink from Starbucks.
Now, if you are looking to push the limit, the LD50 of caffeine is around 150–200mg per Kg of body weight. Which, for most people, is around 75–100 cups of coffee, according to wikipedia.
Probably, you will want to stop before that, though.
As far as frequency during the week, studies have found that drinking coffee daily is not a bad thing, and is in fact associated with a lower risk of death.
