I never liked the taste of coffee and to this day it's really not something that appeals to me. Right now I only drink it as part of a pre-workout meal, but there are plenty of other sources of caffeine, coffee could disappear from the Earth tomorrow and I would not care.
I have a 16 oz cup of very mild Tchibo coffee in the 'morning' (usually noon, actually, but I get up late so that's morning to me). More of a ritual than anything, as I don't need it to wake up or get me going or anything (though it can help the bowels to get 
going, mind). Yeah, yeah, I can see some coming here to call me addicted to caffeine in denial. I don't drink any more than that one cup in a given day, though.

Better get the trout ready...I can hear 'em coming now.
"IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU ONLY DRINK 1 OUNCE OF COFFEE EVERY OTHER DAY....YOU'RE HOPELESSLY ADDICTED...QUIT BEING SO DEFENSIVE AND IN DENIAL...JUST ADMIT YOU'RE A HARD-CORE CAFFEINE JUNKY!!!"
Now me on the other hand, I readily admit it. I'm definitely addicted to caffeine, but I drink tea 95% of the time...only have coffee about once a week.
That is probably false. However, I could be wrong. Maybe there is a super potent strain of black tea that is higher than coffee?
Now there's an idea for to-morrow: maple syrup in my Tchibo. Hey, you changed your avatar, didn't you?? You had me thinking you were someone else!
This is a very dissapointing poll. However I can always drink soda. So I'd have to give up coffee instead of tobacco.
I'm so glad I don't have to though...
Now I'm sad...

Yeah I figured it was time for a change, lol. Something more pipe-orientedNow there's an idea for to-morrow: maple syrup in my Tchibo. Hey, you changed your avatar, didn't you?? You had me thinking you were someone else!
Yeah, in the event of having to choose one of these over the other in reality would be very depressing.
Well, depends on the tea. I can definitely tell you the black tea I drink has every bit as much caffeine as any coffee...if not more.
I'm not a tea aficionado, and have never gotten into all the premium tea blends and brewing...I just use tea bags.
I've tried several brands though and by far the best of the readily available bagged tea IMO is Newman's Own organic black tea.
I made the switch to tea several years ago...drank coffee before that. But as I got older the tea wasn't as harsh on the digestion. At first I drank coffee about half the time, but I got to a point where I started liking the tea more.
But either way...tea or coffee...I make it really strong.
That is just a terrible terrible thing to ask.... Satan.
Love me some Lapsang Souchong, but my preferred coffee substitute is Pu'erh. I could give up coffee with either one!
Most tea has more caffeine than coffee. The reason it doesn't seem like it is because less tea is used (by weight) to brew a cup, and because the theanine in tea counteracts the caffeine to some degree. I have a few cakes of Drunk On Red sun-dried Feng King tea that will twist your wig back!
Same here, although I'm off coffee for Lent.
I'm enjoying a cup of tea right now actually, and it's fine just fine. Just great, really great tea. Don't miss the coffee at all, nope this tea is fantastic wow what a nice tea.
