Tea or coffee sir/madam?

mikemac · 04-11-2010 03:09AM #1

Ah, I remember my student days serving in hotels.

Very simple thread, much like most of my posts
Tea, coffee, both, neither

Me, I don't drink either
Anytime I drank tea it was more a mug of milk and sugar with a drop of tea.
And I tried a black coffee once, couldn't finish it, that was about 6 years ago. Don't even like the smell of coffee

But don't mind me, what about you?

Anyone very particular and buys expensive brands?

Or is it Maxwell House, Lyons and Barrys? The staple houshold brands

Tesco Value teabags. Keep them once used , and used them again.

Ye get a good 3 cups out of the one bag.

They live up too the 'Value' ..

It's not your wadi, it's my wadi!

I used to drink tea as a kid, wouldn't touch the stuff again for years, till i went to work in a place where it was all everyone drank. Now i have at least one cup every day.
Never took to coffee though. Can't stand the stuff.

You seem a bit of a lightweight.

I prefer heroin.

TEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tea is awesome. Coffee smells and tastes awful. No idea how any one can drink it. Think I'll pop on the kettle.

I only drink tea if my throat is sore, cant stand coffee.

karlog · 04-11-2010 03:16AM

C O F F E E, coffee is not good for me.

PanchoVilla · 04-11-2010 03:18AM

2 spoons of Nescafe Gold in the morning. It's lovely.

OutlawPete · 04-11-2010 03:19AM

I can only drink the stuff before 2pm, can't sleep if I have caffeine any later.

What's your brand?

Eutow · 04-11-2010 03:53AM

Coffee all the way. At least two big spoon-fulls of Nescafe Gold or filtered coffee is the way to go.

Tea, I'm addicted to the stuff, drink around 10 cups a day.

Love a hot cup of tea with a large tea spoon of honey and a dash of milk

That said I also love my Latte, but very hard to find a good coffee shop in Dublin

Seriously? :eek:

You can't swing a medium sized cat in Dirtytown without banging in to a coffee shop.

Maybe your requirements are just too funky?

Latte is just a posh way of saying warm milk.

Love tea & love coffee. It's heaven when I'm dripping wet after my morning walk & I make a steaming cup of tea/ coffee. I'm disappointed it wasn't raining when I was out this morning now

I love my cup of tea, I don't think I could live without it. I like the taste, but I enjoy the feeling for comfort even more.

Coffee makes me throw up... literally.

I'm more or less the same. I'd have one in the afternoons the odd time.

But I need my coffee in the morning to come back to life. Tea in teh evenings though. It's good to have a duvet day and enjoy your cup of tea

Having my first coffee of the day at the moment

I have to admit that my current favourite brand is Typhoo...

That said, we've got Barry's here at work, and I'll happily drink that, too

A friend of mine maintains he'll get a migraine unless he has a strong cup of coffee every 3 or 4 hours. Tea no good it has to be coffee.

Rashers.

withdrawal from caffeine addiction

I drink coffee when out, and tea at home

Once in a while I'm partial to a vanilla latte, but not often at all

Both, but tea's better. And now I want some.

Coriolanus · 04-11-2010 10:30AM

Coffee before 6pm, tea afterwards. I drink too much of both tbh, but a lot less than when we had an espresso machine in work. :pac:
