Tea or coffee sir/madam?

mikemac

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.

mickrock

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.

Senna

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

karlog

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

PanchoVilla

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

OutlawPete

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

What's your brand?

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.

starbelgrade

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

Please starbelgrade you have to move on with your life. Rashers lost. God dammit man ive accepted it. You should too.


/uncontrollable sobbing etc....

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

Coriolanus

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:

gurramok

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!

Krusader

Tae Tae, is maith liom é

funk-you

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

-Funk

Sofiztikated

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.

maxfresh

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

FoxT

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!

Sanjuro

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.

Rebel021

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.

Quality

Nescafe gold blend

And

Lyons tea bags!


Lots of milk in both.

FatherLen

coffeeeee is bitchin. cant function without it. some may call it addiction, i call it love.

easyeason3

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!!!!

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

Chiorino

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.

FYP :P

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

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....

FTGFOP

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.

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!!

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.
