Coffee, tea or...?

[Keroin]

"other"? OK, which do you like best, coffee or tea?

Fluff thread for a sunny Sunday and poor little me chained to Lappy, deep in the pits of revision.

I love the smell of coffee but can't stand the taste. I tried to like it, because so many people do, but it's just not my thing.

I love teas of all varieties. Mornings I generally go with a good quality Earl Grey, while evenings are saved for herbal flavours.

If I go out "for coffee" with friends, I will usually order a hot chocolate (winter) or some kind of icy chocolate drink.

How about you? Are we a coffee crowd or a bunch of leaf lovers?

No coffee or tea for me. I never learned to like their tastes at all.

Hot chocolate's good when it's cold outside. Bourbon's good just about any time (well, good bourbon!). Icewater or Mountain Dew or Diet Coke for hot times. Milk for cookies or other pastries, and sometimes for dinner, too.

 

[FloggingMolly]

Coffee if knackered or stressed, tea never. Usually opt for hot choc if having hot drinks, which is rare.

Coffee. Java. Joe. Hot filtered ground bean juice. Now.
Lots and lots of it.
Gimme.
What the hell is taking so long??

I too love the smell of coffee, but can't stand the taste.

I'm a huge tea drinker. Earl Grey, Lady Grey, English Breakfast, Irish Breakfast oh and my friends get this yummy blueberry muffin from some local shop. Strong, usually black (except the breakfast teas, those get a splash of cream or milk and a hint of honey).

I'm fairly snobby about my tea though. I simply can't stand nestle.

 

[kiwi_submissive]

No hot drinks at all, I never got around the whole not buring my mouth thing and iced coffees and cold teas just taste odd.

Also a great escape excuse after a date when a guy asks if he can come inside for a coffee I can just say sorry no coffee here and he either has to go or try and find another excuse to try and get in the house.

I don't care for hot drinks very much. Certain iced coffees (frappes) are appealing, but I hardly ever have them. I drink iced tea sometimes. (So weird having to refer to tea as "iced." It's the only way people drink it down here, really, so when one says "tea," they mean iced, LOL.)

I prefer to get my daily caffeine from Diet Dr. Pepper--used to be regular, but I'm trying not to be a fatass anymore--and the occasional No-Doze for when I need to get a lot of work done.

 

[Curious_in_Cali]

Ginger, green, and chamomile teas are delightful daily staples that I enjoy.

Coffee, however, is a favoured decadent indulgence whose arouma beckons memories of peaceful mornings savored and shared. *Dreamy eyed sigh*

I will also add that for me, hot chocolate is a rare craving... but when it strikes, it should be the embodiment of heat... spicy, bittersweet, and very marginally less than too hot to the touch...covered in a mound of wilting whipped cream and smears of cinnamon of course.

Yep to both of the above for me. I LOVE tea, but I normally drink it iced. If I'm not feeling well I'll drink it hot, but that's rare. I mostly drink either black (orange pekoe) or earl grey - I prefer earl grey but black is more widely available, but I keep around raspberry, jasmine, and ginger (raspberry and jasmine because I like them and ginger for my tummy). Sadly, I probably drink more ginger tea than raspberry and jasmine. And sometimes I get a tea just because I like the smell.

This is an amusing game: Ovaltine? Sassafras tea? Name the beverage kiwi has in her home and gain admittance!

No-Doze needs a breakfast blend. Marketing opportunity FAIL!!

A Kiwi? Hmmm, perhaps an L&P soda?

Damn. You are well-traveled, soda-wise!

Yes, I have indulged in carbonated beverages from around the world! You can read about it in my new book...

Daring title.

Sure it won't get cause confusion as to the topic?

I want to read the graphic novel.

Coffee.

What do you non-coffee and non-tea drinkers have with your breakfast?

[Keroin]

Coffee.

What do you non-coffee and tea drinkers have with your breakfast?

Tea, of course.

Duh.

 

[ArchLady03]

Tea, most definitely!

 

[satindesire]

Being a good little southern girl, I drink lots of iced tea. I love the smell of coffee but it's far too bitter for my delicate tastebuds.

Pop is delicious but I'm allergic to sugar. I always break out in fat.

Edit: GUM!

 

[TarevaChine]

I used to love coffee. Then out of the blue, I didn't care for the taste anymore.

What do you non-coffee and non-tea drinkers have with your breakfast?

Water or sugar free red bull.

 

[Kitty4him]

I never could acquire the taste for coffee. Tea, however, I love so many kinds depending on my mood.

 

[midwestyankee]

COFFEE

Hot, purely black, freshly pressed.

 

[FurryFury]

Over the past few years I've taken a turn for coffee and away from soft drinks. However, I often drink tea in my coffee too. LOL A special tea for my throat which I don't like the taste of except in coffee.

FF

 

[notalwaysweak]

I've never been into either tea or coffee, but I adore hot chocolate or hot Milo as long as it's not 99% water like we used to get on school camps.

For cold drinks, Pepsi Max is the bomb. I go through that stuff like it's water. Delicious, fizzy, sweet, caffeinated black water.

 

[Lizzie_Borden]

I like coffee, and I like tea, and I like hot chocolate.

I like iced tea, hate iced coffee.

Nothing beats Milo though. Hot, with just enough boiled water to disolve the milo, then hot milk, or cold, with 3 heaped tablespoons floating on top of ice cold milk, waiting to be eaten as is before the rest is mixed into the milk
