Do you prefer tea or coffee?

[Queen Bee]

I like a good ol' british cuppa Tea - with soya milk of course, and no sugar. I also prefer my tea in a cup and saucer.

 

[PLmatt91]

Kind of both. I like tea when I'm relaxed and / or sick / cold.

But I like coffee most of the time, although I don't drink it a lot.

 

[Lee]

I only ever drink hot drinks in the winter, usually coffee, 3 sugars, plenty of milk. Yummy.

 

[Azuremen]

black coffee is too strong

Puts hair on yer chest! Makes ya a man! Big cahonies!

Naw, most people I know put quite a bit of sugar in coffee, and cream. I've never been much of a cream fan, but when I was younger the sugar added was much like yours. I think as you get older, you just don't like super sweet stuff as much.

Kinda how older people seem to prefer Coca Cola to Pepsi, etc.

Try some good, properly brewed coffee, black, and then slowly add sugar. You might find you like it with a bit less than you put in right now.

Queen Bee, I've never been much of a fan of milk in my tea, but that probably has more to do with the green tea and such I regularly have. Thai tea is an exception though, but it needs to be far less sweet.

 

[Joey D]

I drink both but I like tea better...especially with creme and sugar in it.

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

I drink both, however I prefer them both fairly weak. Sometimes, I even make a weak tea mix with some coffee. Tea with milk is pretty disgusting and it doesn't go very well with coffee for me. For coffee, I usually just use milk as a substitute for cream, if at all.

 

[Slicks]

Definitely tea - Orange Pekoe or English Breakfast, strong, with sugar and a few drops of cream.

I've never really drank coffee much - I can't recall the last time I've done so.
Perhaps another try is in order.

 

[OZZYGT]

Coffee all the way. Black with half a sugar.





ooorrrr when it's too hot outside, like right now, a Coffee Coolatta from Dunkin' Donuts does everything for me.

 

[Duke]

That's what the sugar is for.

My coffee would kill Wenders. I learned from my mother who puts one of those yellow scoops of grounds in for every line on the side of the pot, then an extra for good measure. She drinks it DEAD BLACK, nothing in it. I use a couple good spoons of sugar, but none of that creamer crap. And NEVER iced.

Office coffee has never been strong enough for me, ever. And even then I know people who put extra water in and then addd cream and sugar. I say if you don't like coffee, just don't drink coffee.

 

[Barracuda]

i guess i'll try coffee without cream in it tomorrow then.

 

[Law93]

Green tea. 👍

got that right, i'm with you

 

[OZZYGT]

Indeed. Some of my co-workers at the office put "coffee on the milk" instead of the other way around...
Ohh and how about that Decaf coffee. It makes absolutely no sense to me.

 

[emad]

Tea - Earl Grey or Green.

Cheaper, milder and easier on the mind/body and lasts me a good few hours. No sugar. Never. Sugar makes my mind and body crash like you wouldn't believe.

If it's coffee, it has to be a mocha latte or mocaccino from a gourmet coffee shop - nothing less than Second Cup or Starbucks... I only really get it if I'm with people who are all getting coffee... sometimes being the only tea drinker in a group is just weird

 

[Zrow]

I work at Starbucks, consequently I drink more coffee than tea. I don't drink either too, too much though.

I really want to start drinking my coffee black - it seems much more convenient.

 

[Blackbird.]

See I just brewed up some coffee put a little sweetner in it and some french vanilla creamer in it and it tastes... ok. I don't know if it's the beans or the fat free version of the creamer but it's ok. I've had better, it has to do with the creamer. (damn mother and fat free )

 

[BobK]

I enjoy the occasional cup of tea, or glass of iced tea. But a cup or two of coffee in the morning is a necessity.

Oh, and as Ozzy says, decaf makes no sense whatsoever!

Amen to that. Its an acquired taste, that is the truth of the matter. Well, at least black coffee is. When people add tons of milk and sugar, I feel like asking "Would you rather have some hot chocolate?" because honestly, I think they would enjoy it more.

When I worked at a office, they made the coffee really weak... then I started making it. And following that, one of the "I am a cool tough guys" started putting in a good amount of milk (probably 1 part coffee, 1 part milk). This same guy said I wasn't a man because I didn't have car payments (WTF?), to which I responded "I don't have car payments because I prefer cash. And I certainly prefer a used Toyota over a new Kia" (Of which he had two, Rio5 and Amanti).

So for those of you that put milk/cream in your coffee, you may end up like that guy

EDIT: Duke, tried to + Rep you for that post, but need to spread it around some more. (Ya know, Jordon should make it say "You need to spread the love around some more..." for a joke, and see how long it takes people to notice {yes, its very late, so I am not entirely responsible for my brain})

Dude... what?

 

[Smallhorses]

Hehehe! Just levelled up the poll I guess! 14:14 Coffee to Tea Ratio!

Have to say the smell of coffee makes me heave.
Even the smell of someone who's had coffee within several hours of me talking to them is noticable, and I've the world's worst sense of smell! (I've had that horrible polyp-removal sinus clearing operation twice now! 👎 )
itgirlxx hates the fact that I can come in at 7pm and still know if she had a coffee at 10am!!!

I'm with tea 110% of the way! But never iced.
A good cup of strong Kenya or Assam gets me going in the morning. (I still import a huge amount of teabags from UK with every trip!) Yorkshire or PG Tips are also great morning teas. Never with sugar, and just a hint of milk to give a good copper coloured brew that's plenty tannic but not bitter first thing in the morning. Afternoons are the domain of the lighter teas, Earl Grey etc.

Lipton tea as far as I'm concerned doesn't brew well with hot water. It's ideal for iced tea, but can't make good hot tea.

 

[Azuremen]

Dude... what?

Am I that crazy at the moment?? Quite tired, guess I didn't finish the story? The idiot bought two Kias, making payments on both, with a job that paid like 18-20 dollars an hour. So his logic was horrible, his coffee was horrible, and you could be that horrible if you put lots of cream in your coffee.

So don't do it kids. Got it?

 

[YSSMAN]

I drink a lot of the Snapple Red Tea (I love the berry flavor), and I'm attempting to get into the Green Tea as well, although I don't like it nearly as much.

I'm making my first pot of Earl Gray tomorrow, as I just bought a box of it on Monday. Snapple makes an Earl Gray as well, but I haven't been able to find it in any store...

...My problem is, I like cold drinks, but I figure I'll do Earl Gray the way it was meant to be first...

 

[ExigeEvan]

Tea.

I only drank Coffee on work experience cause I had to be in "work" and switched on by 8am. When you've been raised on the 9am school start that's a tough job.

 

[Barracuda]

well i tried black coffee with the same 4 spoonfuls of sugar and i have to say, its no too bad. I didn't get a big sip of it though, because it was very hot

 

[Famine]

Famine function doesn't well coffee without.

 

[AMG.]

Coffee all the way, preferably a quadruple espresso. Once a year I'll have 1 to 2 cups of tea.

AMG.

Are you serious? Dude, drink a coke instead. Coffee isn't meant to be had with so much sugar... it hides the coffee taste.

 

[DQuaN]

Tea for me.

(I have a very occasional coffee.)

 

[GT Pro]

A: Tea. I've always liked the rather relaxing taste of any form of tea, but as I've had it, it must always have a flat-teaspoon of sugar and a reasonable amount of milk. A further, perhaps more precise reason would be that I have not 'acquired' the taste for coffee, and because the antioxidants in most natural teas themselves serve as a natural incentive to maintain one tea per day.

And, in most cases, I guess people would have 'tea' over 'coffee' simply because of the fact that they don't have to choose from 4.5 million varieties...

 

[Slick Rick]

I think coffee tastes great when its quite sweet. If I have coffee I have 2 sugars most of the time and very creamy.

I prefer tea though....obviously

Let's all point at the person who drinks tea made from teabags.


*points at GT Pro*

There's a kerjillion varieties of tea.
