Coffee or Tea?

[bullet08]

Found out I enjoy black tea during the winter months, and coffee when the weather is warming up. Been contemplating if I'm going to keep on drinking espresso. It does give a good dose of jolt in the morning, but it's not like the comfort of drip brew. But not really finding good old Mr. Coffee machine like I used to. They all have pretty bad reviews. Then bought a bottle of instant coffee. Added some sugar free hazelnut Coffee mate, and it's as good as any old crappy brew! Life is good.

Never drank either until my mid-20’s, but I can’t get through a morning now without coffee. Next to Pizza, it’s my favorite… w/lots of cream, lots of sugar.

I like both. Generally prefer black tea iced but not always. Enjoy dark roast coffee, made in a French press when I'm home. Also like green tea both hot and iced.

Been on a tea kick lately. Just been drinking it no sugar no creamer In the morning before I head to work. Just regular plain tea nothing special.

I like both of them. Although I like black tea better with a few drops of milk. I have low blood pressure, so morning coffee makes my body and mind happy. I have been a coffee grower since I was a teenager.

I like both of them. I drink one cup of coffee in the morning. It'd just regular Folger with cream and sugar. When I go to a Chinese restaurant, I drink the green tea with a spoon full of sugar.

Both. But no cream, sugar, honey, milk etc in it.

I love coffee - always very strong, with milk and one sugar.
Just one cup a day, with lunch
I grew up in Malaysia, so coffee with condensed milk is a guilty weekend treat.

I start the day with a mug of black English tea.
I brew a pot as soon as I get into the office - usually green (Chinese Long Cheng or Japanese sencha) or oolong.
I mix it up a bit with white or black (fully fermented) tea for a change

I love a mug of chai on the weekends - usually black.
For a treat, I love a really strong mug with condensed milk (like you get in India)

I'm a black coffee drinker all the way, with a preference for medium-dark to medium roasts.

Never could get into TEA tea (sweet tea, hot, iced, black, green, etc). I do like some mixed/spiced and herbal teas though (rooibos with plenty of honey, chai tea, various herbal blends like back when Teavana existed I used to mix their "Samurai Chai Mate" with their "White Ayurvedic" and a touch of brown sugar the two combined having ingredients like candied papaya, pineapple, lemon grass and cornflower blossoms—though yes, I do know said teas contain various black, green and white teas, but they aren't straight tea). I rarely drink the kind of tea that I do like... usually a rooibos+Jameson+honey hot toddy on the extremely rare occasion that I have a cold.

I`m English and proud of it but if I had been in Boston at the time of the tea party, I`D have dumped the tea for them. Disgusting drink.

I like both and both with cream/milk and sugar. For tea its usually black tea. For coffee its lavaza espresso blend. I use pour over method. I used to make french press (which really isnt French) but the extra oils tended to give me indigestion.

For tobacco its Burley with coffee and vapers with tea. Tea really complimets vapers a lot.

I think its funny the "New" craze about pour over coffee. Its been around a zillion years and basically Mr coffee makers automated the process. The things are all over the place as well as junk stores. Now people ask all kinds of silly money for them like its something new. I do like them better than coffee makers because you can control the pour and the temp. Most coffee makers make lukewarm coffee. The big reason I also like them is they dont take up counter space.

Black tea with a small amount of milk.
We have a decent coffee machine in church with decent coffee beans. So I do quite like a black coffee.
But otherwise tea is my favourite.

Attempting to be more conscious of what I'm putting in my body, I've made some changes in my diet but I've had a problem with choosing coffee over tea, because too much of anything is not a good thing.
For years, I drank coffee all day from morning till night from my trusty Mr. Coffee drip coffee maker. I usually drank Maxwell House Original and drank it black with a scant teaspoon of sugar.
Lately, I grind beans and use a pour over filter. I use the grounds for two cups, and that first cup is a beaut! NO SUGAR, NO DAIRY.
I try to limit myself to two rounds like that each day, but often drink more. I've got some prostate issues and caffeine is said to be an aggravation. I try to offset with several mugs, jars or glasses of water, herbal, black and green tea. I'm going to be getting some MACHA for nutritional value soon.
Drink up lads, stay hydrated!

I simply cant drink coffee all day or Id be a nervous wreck!
I know some guys can drink a pot of coffee and go to sleep. Not me.

 

[crashthegrey]

I prefer tea. I enjoy a good coffee, but will take tea over it.

 

[Kobold]

i used to drink espresso in the morning but lately I’ve been making americanos. In the afternoon I have pg tips with sugar and milk. Trying to cut back on the caffeine because my stomach has been messed up lately.

Medium roast coffee, two cups in the morning black w/Sugar, one cup at night before bed w/dessert. Not a big tea drinker, a cup of Tetley British Blend or Lemongrass & Ginger now and again, no milk with a touch of sugar. Lemongrass & Ginger is great when your stomach is off a little.

 

[David D. Davidson]

Both! I drink a single shot espresso in the morning, then it’s tea for the rest of the day. Big fan of loose leaf gongfu style brewing, where I can enjoy steeping the same leaves all day and enjoy the way the flavor develops. Big fan of Yunnan Sourcing, it’s amazing quality at an even more amazing price.

I have nearly as much tea as I do tobacco - this is all my straight tea, then I’ve got a bunch of herbal tisanes (shout out to celestial sleepytime)

 

[ItsKarl]

What a question. Tea, of course!

 

[Hillcrest]

Both.
