    Hate tea, think its a disgusting drink. Don't like coffee either but it smells ok. What really is annoying is workmates expecting me to get a tea round when I don't even drink the stuff!

    Coffee and a smoke in the morning when I get to work. Loosens everything up nicely.

    Don't like coffee, but love the smell of freshly brewed real coffee.

    Occasionally drink tea, mostly when in the mothers house, rarely finish a mug though.

    Love my caffeine based sparkling beverages though.

    both are great go through stages of prefering one over the other but usally its about 3 or 4 cups of either tea or coffee a day

    Good black coffee & a creamy bun.
    Or else one or two of those lovely thin crunchy biscuits that you get ,
    Perfect.

    But rashers too, yes. Rindy rashers. The rind is the mission critical part of the rasher - gives it texture & crunch. In fact , now that I think of it, I prefer the lil crunchy biscuits to the cream bun, for the same reason.

    This has been on my mind for a while now. I had been weighing up the pros & cons of cream bun vs lil biscuit. It it wasnt for the rasher thread I'd be still stuck. Thanks Starbelgrade!

    Three cups of coffee spaced throughout the working day is one of the little things that makes work bearable. Love the stuff. Used to hate it. It's like craic that way. I'd imagine.

    Tea for me
    Can't drink coffee but I do love the smell of coffee.
    What is unusual is I love coffee sweets and cake.

    And

    Lyons tea bags!


    Lots of milk in both.

    Has anyone tried a cup of half coffee & half tea?

    I don't have access to a kettle at the moment so someone please try it!!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,628 ✭✭✭Truley


    Love my tea, and in my house it is always loose leaf. It's just not the same from a bag.

    You can bate an egg, you can bate your wife, but you can't bate a nice cup a tae :P

    Love both but tend to drink slightly more tea as the missus hates coffee. Lyons Gold Blend and Carte Noir all the way. Tend to drink mostly coffee if I'm out though as a lot of places just serve hot, brown flavourless water in place of tea. At the same time was in Germany recently and found the coffee there (even in the little cafe things in the underground stations) to be far superior to here.

    Barrys Classic here. Often leave the tea bag in it, or the ole favourite: leave teabag in it, come back 20 minutes later, top it up with hot water, and then add sugar and milk. I get one nice strong cup of tea this way :D

    Agreed, but I've gotten lazy, so I use the bag.

    Don't ever try the tea there, if you don't even like the tea in restaurants here....

    Both. Either. Give give!

    I'll sometimes crush up a few caffeine tablets and rub them on my gums. Some people say I've a problem but those people are probably hallucinations, and I don't listen to hallucinations.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,253 ✭✭✭Greyfox


    Tea by a mile...it's the only thing I couldn't live without

    I'd rather spend a day with a toothache then have to go a full day without tea!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,273 ✭✭✭Morlar


    Never in my life been able to drink tea. I once bought an iced tea thing and retched after trying it. Whoever said Coffee is the nectar of the gods - hit the nail on the head. Tea is monkey piss. It's for people who want a hot drink but can't handle the awesomeness of coffee.

    I nearly spat my coffee across the keyboard at this :D which is the only thing that gets me through the day in work, cant function if we have run out, I leave work to go in hunt of some, the boss be damned!!

    Drank coffee once and was dizzy after it drinking it.
    That must be the "hit" people talk about
    Dizzy like drinking your first pint :)
    And yes, I am light weight

    Will never drink it again, hate even the smell of it.
    Horrible, horrible stuff


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


    Generally only drink green tea, gone off the normal stuff.

    Coffee is Satan's spooge


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,661 ✭✭✭General Zod


    nescafe coffee is the foulest liquid in the world.
    Barry's tea is the second.

    Give me a proper cup of coffee or Lyons gold blend any day.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,295 ✭✭✭✭Duggy747


    Tea is brilliant though I think it tastes fùckin' fowl without sugar.

    Coffee is liquid gold to me which, oddly, I prefer to have WITHOUT sugar :pac:

    I lurve my coffee and when there's none left I tend to black out only to wake up standing over a corpse with blood on my hands.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,598 ✭✭✭✭prinz


    Tea 90% of the time, (usually black - always Lyons/loose tea at home, and any sort of flavoured/ fruit/herb tea)

    Coffee 10% (anything at all, don't taste the difference. Sometimes nothing hits the spot like a strong sweet coffee)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 5,976 ✭✭✭fonecrusher1


    I was drinking coffee for a while but i think it gives me the plops so tea is my prefered hot drink.


  • Posts: 3,251 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    I drink tea.

    With milk, with sugar-my usual, with two sugars. One sugar is just pretending, if you're going to go for one sugar just leave off the sugar

    Without sugar-If there's no sugar, and I wanna feel "healthy", leave it oot. Most often happens when there's an unsugared tea poured & I'm not bothered enough to get the sugar.

    No milk, no sugar- Saved for the allnighters. Works as well as a red bull for me, the bitterness gives me the right kick to wake me up a notch.

    THe only coffee I've ever drank was when I worked on an Ethihad flight about to push back, awaiting clearance, and the cabin crew offered it to me.

    Hawt coffee, hawt crew, how could one say no?

    Milk, 3 sugars.
