Drinking tae or coffee from a glass?

    Are you into it? If I ran out of cups it would seem highly unnatural to pour coffee into a glass although I'm sure there are zesty hipster cosmopolitan types who do it all the time and it would taste just the same.

    I used to drink tea from a glass all the time but then I stopped years ago and now that seems unnatural too

    That's not allowed. Unless it's served to you in a restaurant.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,330 ✭✭✭Gran Hermano


    Yes:
    Moroccan style tea from a glass.
    Irish coffee from a glass.
    Latte or mocha from a glass.

    I guess some of the uncouth oiks could just spit on a tea-bag and stick it on their forehead like a tea version of a nicotine patch. :rolleyes:

    No, its not on and doesnt work. Glass conducts the heat too much so even putting your lip to it can burn your lip. I've had tea from a glass in Poland and it feels weird.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,572 ✭✭✭✭brummytom


    I do. Broke my mug and I can't be bothered to buy a new one (I'm in student halls, I only had the one).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,667 ✭✭✭Frynge


    Pint glass
    Two tea bags
    Glob of milk (standard tea drinking measurement)
    Out into the cold yard in work for a quick smoke and tea. After 15 min tea is still hot and just about finished. Simples.

    Tried this before, unless there is a handle on the glass then you will burn the hand off yourself.

    If you are desperate you could wear a glove.

    Hot, boiling tea from a handleless glass, no but otherwise I drink it any way it comes.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 437 ✭✭wobzilla1


    My Girlfriend drinks her black coffee out of a glass every morning. There's plenty of cups, I'm still not sure why she does it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,767 ✭✭✭La_Gordy


    I've done it in foreign and I'll do it at home if ahm ever too hanging to wash a cup.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,635 ✭✭✭Pumpkinseeds


    Mr Pumpkinseeds loves his diffferent varieties of tea so I bought some glass mugs last year and they weren't cheap. He seems happy enough, they're very handy for hot whiskeys as well. I can remember years ago there was a fad for smokey coloured glass cups and glass saucers. Showing my age now

    Didn't any of yiz ever go to school? The handle which converts a glass to a cup was invented by Saint Appendus Laterus and it's not only unlucky to drink hot liquids from handleless containers, because you will burn your God-given fingers, it's also a mortal sin, especially during Lent. Also, billy cans and the cap of your Thermos flask are instruments of sin.

    If, by any chance, your cup handle is broken, it is acceptable to drink your tea or coffee from a chamber pot, usually fitted with two handles, although sharing this with others is also a sin.

    Another tip which might have slipped your minds: because lady-type people might derive sexual pleasure from the movement, it is a sin for ladies to play an accordion. If she is also drinking tea from a glass, you need to run away and have a good pray. Father Lucius told us, so it must be true.

    According to my teachers in school everything is a sin. You know what happens when everything is labelled a sin? The word becomes meaningless. So Im sat here drinking tea from a mug with a handle, but im holding it by the sides and its stinging my fingers, but I don't care. I also, shamelessly, covet my neighbours wife's ass, but if asked about it I would probably bear false witness.

    No way dirty mingbags,

    glasses = cold drinks

    cups = hot drinks

    As far as I know a cup is more a unit of measurement than a utensil made from a particular material. So you can have a glass cup or mug just like you can have a plastic cup, it doesn't need to be ceramic.

    You'll be needing an excorcist and some method of cremating the remains to save this one.

    The accordian? I can see why the banjo would be verbotten, or the double bass, and the trombone is obviously the work of satan, but the accordian? Saintly as anything, so it is!

    They wear them jumpers with the lumps sown in the front and the accordian bellows moving across them lumps makes the ladies bold. Maybe the banjo affects some other parts of lady-type people that Fr. Lucius never told us about so I'll have to bow to your superior knowledge of these things.

    Or maybe you're just trying to divert attention from the fact that YOU drink tea from a glass.....by planting images of mysterious lady parts in our heads! God, you're shocking bold altogether. And in Lent?!? Fierce bold! I bet you've even looked at pictures of ladies playing the cello.
