Do You Drink Coffee or Tea?

[JoeProBono]

Both drinks have fiercely loyal followings. Which side are you on?

Constant Comment every morning & evening. I like it w/ honey & milk. I will make the occasional espresso.

[Dusty Road]

Coffee black with just a little shot of Crown Royal in the first cup.

[vaskypilot]

Campbell’s Perfect Tea each morning. A lighter tea in the afternoon. Coffee mainly on weekends. Wine in the evenings.

Occasionally, you find that one diner that gives you a little teapot with enough water for a second cup. And usually it stays warm enough.

Problem is if I'm ordering a big breakfast (and if I'm in a diner, chances are that I am), I still need more to drink. Considering that a 20-ounce coffee is now "normal" for me, I need more than two cups.

[vaskypilot]

I have agree with the comments that restaurant tea is awful. When out for breakfast, I order coffee.

I like my tea straight; I prefer coffee with a bit of sugar and no milk.

Tea. Sweet. Iced.

Coffee. Black.

Coffee. Black.

Waffle House coffee. Now there’s a man’s coffee.

i've never liked coffee and tea is just .. meh. a cold bottle of water for me, thanks.

and strangely, i have no need for caffeine in order to 'wake up' in the mornings. i've often wondered if the morning ritual made caffeine a requirement.

Both......

Kona blend coffee mornings

Jasmine tea evenings

I bought a hundred bags of jasmine tea that was mostly green tea and barely jasmine. We have three bags left and then return to the good stuff.

[envisio]

Straight tea?

The only way we drink tea is sweet, iced.

We never drink that herbal hemp hot stuff that you have to drink with your little pinky finger sticking out.

I am talking about a mason jar full of iced sweet tea sitting down to a big ole plate of catfish.

Have you ever tried Lady Grey? It is really nice, light, & smooth.

[kevkrom]

Tea, iced (I can drink it hot, but prefer it cold).

I love the smell of coffee, but have never managed to acquire the taste for it — the bitterness comes unpleasantly through for me, even if it’s drowning in cream and sugar (even coffee ice cream). Oddly enough, I like Kahlua, which means something in the fermentation process gets rid of the bitterness I can’t handle normally.

[JRandomFreeper]

That's exactly what I do. I've been buying Costa Rican Tres Rios Magnolia for over 15 years. The stuff in grocery stores is just nasty.

“strangely, i have no need for caffeine in order to ‘wake up’ in the mornings”

I can drink a whole pot of coffee in the morning and sit in the recliner and be sound asleep in minutes but if I drink one cup of coffee at 4 in the afternoon I will be lying awake at 2:00 am begging to finally get to sleep.

Earl Grey in the Winter.

When not drinking coffee, Earl Grey is my any time tea of choice. Lapsang Souchong is mostly, not exclusively, the Winter tea.

[RetSignman]

Two cups of coffee in the morning, espresso around 3pm in the afternoon for that quick restart.

[Rockingham]

Both. Coffee with breakfast or to stay awake, and strong tea for alertness in the afternoon and to soothe pain.

[Calvin Locke]

You're not alone. Two pots during the day, and I'm fine. Any caffeine much beyond 6PM, and I pay for it, counting sheep.

Tea, iced, with sweet&lo in my 64oz. mug continually all day and night. On very rare occasions Irish coffee with Jameson’s and just a dash of green creme de menthe for color.
