    Tea is clearly the superior.. The smell of coffee, especially in the morning is just stomach turning.

    Am I right or am I right?

    Something I did try to do in the percolator in work before........mixing tea and coffee does not turn out nice


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,128 ✭✭✭✭Oranage2


    Love both and drink both throughout the day though if somebody put a gun to my head and would make me rape my mother if I didnt choose I'd pick a cup of coffee.

    Coffee isn't my cup of tea


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 617 ✭✭✭k99_64


    both?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,395 ✭✭✭✭mikemac1


    Mug a scald


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 270 ✭✭bicardi19


    I like both, I also like to have my cake and eat it.
    I'm not proud of it but I'm not ashamed of it either.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,990 ✭✭✭✭Giblet


    Who drinks tea in the morning!? It's like drinking non-alcoholic beer in a pub. Tea while watching tele is fine, maybe with some biscuits.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,104 ✭✭✭Swampy


    Coffee. As much as possible.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,288 ✭✭✭✭Standard Toaster


    A nice cup 'o scald every time. Probably healthier too.

    Anyone ever try brown sauce in their tea??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,322 ✭✭✭splashthecash


    I drink both and which I prefer would be down to a number of things such as what I want at that particular moment, where I am and if I have something to eat that time with it (biscuits\chocolate)....

    I like coffee and tea, but I only really drink nice French Roast or Arabic stuff these days as I got a gift of one of those things whats in the start of Dexter

    [edit] A cafetiere, it makes a lovely cup of coffee but you have to watch the last mouthful as its a little grainy.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,582 ✭✭✭✭TheZohanS


    Coffee, proper coffee; not instant.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 5,671 ✭✭✭BraziliaNZ


    Coffee, not a fan of tea. I have an espresso machine at home and use the nespresso machine at work, about 6 cups a day I think. I just can't get enough. Flat whites ftw lol.

    Coffee as in proper coffee, none of that instant crap.
    Tea as in loose tea, none of that crap they put in tea bags.

    First they came for the socialists...

    If I had to choose, I'd go with coffee.

    I love both equally. I enjoy coffee in the morning at work, and I really like a cup of coffee when I go out for dinner, or to meet a friend. However I love a cup of tea with a fry up at the weekend, and I like drinking tea in the evenings after work.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,059 ✭✭✭Sindri

    Eh, I'll have coffee. Drinking some right now as a matter of fact.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,606 ✭✭✭Carroller16


    Coffee to wake ya up. Then tea with a fry on the weekends.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,461 ✭✭✭--Kaiser--


    I never liked coffee, I find the smell noxious and the taste abhorrent.

    Green tea is my thing, I carry bags of it everywhere because people rarely have it in their houses

    Hate tea! Makes me feel sick, no matter how many times I try it! Used to drink Lyons Kenya blend in my teens, cause it was strong with not much milk, as was the style at the time.
    Also, there is more caffeine in tea than coffee, but seems to have a different effect so I hear...

    Herbal teas are nice the odd odd time.

    Now coffee, thats a cuppa I can drink! Only the rubbish instant stuff in work but I do love my fresh coffee too at home, need a new percolator! Tend to never buy coffee out in coffee shops any more, way too pricey tbh.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,672 ✭✭✭deman


    Tea at breakfast, coffee during the day and back to tea in the evening.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,461 ✭✭✭--Kaiser--

    Wrong.
    By dry weight tea leaves contain more caffeine than coffee beans but an average cup of coffee has around three times as much caffeine as an average cup of tea


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,801 ✭✭✭✭Kojak


    Coffee all the way


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 27 julanont


    With or without milk and sugar?

    A tip for making tea.

    Never boil the water twice. It takes the oxygen out of the water and impedes the brewing capabilities of it. Always use freshly boiled water.

    Not the way I have tea (super strong with **** all milk). It's a winner :D My friends and family call it tar though; alas you can't quite stand a spoon up in it so it's still tea by my definition.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 27 julanont


    Is it true that the milk can get burned if put in first of something. I think I heard that before.

    Pffft that's crap. But milk should always go in last anyway. It's just better that way :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 969 ✭✭✭some random drunk


    I like both, but coffee is the winner for me. You can't beat a cup of hot black coffee on a cold winter's morning. Or iced coffee on a hot summer's day. We don't have enough iced coffee in Ireland.

    Iced lemon tea like Nestea is a good one. I don't know how widely available it is in Ireland though.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 27 julanont


    Yeah I think I agree with you there.

    Nestea is becoming a lot more widely available here. You can get it in supermarkets and a fair few newsagents. I love the stuff :D


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 27 julanont


    Anyone ever try bog tea?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 732 ✭✭✭Hesh's Umpire


    Both. A good strong instant coffee in the morning to get me going. Plenty of tea then through out the day and a nice jug of percolated coffee in the evening.

    I was addicted to lipton mango ice tea when I was on holidays in Portugal. Could never find it in Ireland though:(
