Basically, I just ran out of milk for my tea. And as I drink about 5 or 6 cups of tea with milk a day, I'm going to have to do something about it. Anyways, which do you prefer? And how? I could have included mate but I wanted to see who'd win between these two imperialistic beverages. Wink

Well, as I said, for me it's a strong cup of tea with milk and one sugar.

Cheers. Smile

Neither, actually.  I like some coffees, so I guess that gets my vote.  I just had to drop that Can reference before anyone else did.

Coffee, generally, in most manifestations! But I prefer tea first thing in the morning; strong, hot with one sugar.

Coffee gets the vote.

I believe that Indian Teas should be drunk with milk and Chinese without!  So you need to get some Chinese Tea just in case you run out of milk again. 

I drink Coffee mainly but I do (Like a proper Brit) drink tea occasionally.  Mainly for afternoon tea (With Jam Cream and Scones if I can (I Lie)) Tongue

I habitually drink sweet tea, while I only sometimes drink coffee.

Mostly coffee with a bit of milk (and I've recently started drinking about 4-5 cups a day, I'm sure it's too much), and I don't mind a vanilla latte (sometimes iced in the summer) every now and then.

But I also like tea. Either chai or English Breakfast with some milk too.

Coffee is my lifeblood! I love it. When I'm at home, I like an ordinary coffee, half or less full of milk with one spoonful of preferably brown sugar. When I'm out I always love a good Latte...the perfect coffee I think, smooth as the back of a manta ray...

...I don't like tea. No taste to it. Even Earl Grey, Lady Grey and the myriad of fruit teas out there don't do it for me.

Scientists from USA, Japan, GB and Germany and among other (Swedes) by many tests shown that coffee, tea, energy drinks are very good for you. the more they investigates the secrets of the coffeine the more happy surprises they get.

I think coffee with milk or cream is nasty, but I love it with powdered creamer, even the non-dairy stuff. You've got to get the blackest stuff possible and grind it yourself. I usually take my coffee with a punch in the face for good measure.

I worked at a coffee shop (wish I could get a job at another one) and I had coffee drinks all the time. Tea, too.

Coffee > Unsweetend, black as hell tea > any variety of hot tea.

All are top tier.

Although I do enjoy green tea or jasmine tea which I pick up in China on biz trips once a year...Its good for my stomach.

That'll do nicely for me too... after 10:00 am... before that it's good strong coffee all the way (if I'm not buzzing around like a hummingbird, it's not strong enough)

Luckily (unlike Dean) my migraines are not affected by coffee, instant or otherwise; if they were, I'd spend my entire life in agony in a darkened room... drinking coffee

Coffee. Medium sweet Greek coffee in the morning (or whenever I wake upLOL) and medium sweet frappé (cold coffee) in the evening. I also enjoy espresso, but I don’t make it myself. Tea? Maybe two or three times a year, with a little honey (no milk).

Coffee to get me going in the workday morning (2 cups is my limit).  Black.  The exception being Vietnamese iced milk coffee.
 
Ice tea, unsweetened (lemon or lime is fine).  Hot tea less often, also unsweetened.  Being American, I do not put milk in hot tea, except sometimes in an Indian restaurant after the meal.
 
Overall, I'll say I prefer tea.

I'm not much of an expert on coffee blends, as long as it doesn't taste like mud and the beans haven't been burnt to unpalatable bitterness I can drink it. The only thing I can't take is instant - it gives me an instant migrane, though there is no logical reason why it should it just does. A nice thick espresso is probably my favourite, or just a plain black filter that's good and strong - I'll skip all the skinny venti mocha frappacino machiatto latte chantico ristretto velencia con panna with hazle syrup and sprinkles in a dirty cup thanks and just have house filter in a mug, ta.

Hi,
 
Doctor told me no more coffee a few years back ... these days I like to mix my own teas from the various health stores I can find ... current favorite is a touch of lapsang souchong, a touch of mint, a touch of chamomile and a touch of english breakfast.
 
The concoction and invention business is endless. But from any of those Expresso dumps, I usually only get a Decaf of some sort ... and if they don't have the decaf ... goodbye!
 
American coffee is just colored and flavorless water. I once gave some folks a taste of real Brazilian coffee and he was flying for 8 hours! ... I think he found out that day that he didn't need to do any el dopa!

coffee IS addictive. I used to get by with 1 or 0 cups of coffee, now i must have a MINIMUM of 3 cups. Coffee and a cigarette = best thing ever (but i would like to quit soon)

i like it with milk or hazelnut creamer. I used to use sugar, but i have gotten cynical against Sweet & Low, Splenda, etc.. I heard they give you cancer; while i dont necessarily think they do, that kinda sparked my interest in eating better and taking care of myself.

Tea, clearly. Those who are on coffee (especially heavy drinkers) have their nerves too "moronized" to enjoy the delicate stimulation provided by a good tea.

I enjoy many kinds of teas (blacks and green ones) but the best is clearly the white tea. It's from the best part of the plant from the spring harvest. But one has to know how to prepare it (water temperature, infusion time).

Somebody brought in some fresh "loose leaf" rooibos. Very delicious.

I just read that morning coffee is a plot against honest citizens done by toilet paper companies! LOL

Loose leaf? I know the market rooibos, which is not tea to my knowledge, but an alternate plant.

That's why I put it in quotes. It's an African bush. What I meant is that it is fresh and not packaged.

The mall store Teavana can be dangerous for tea drinkers like myself. I trink way too much black tea...not a coffee fan.
 
I like oolong flavor best but not every day.

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

I agree. I try not to buy from Teavana anymore though.

EDIT: The first line, not the second for my agreement.

Tea. All sorts. Black in the morning and green or herbal in the evening. Mostly pure without sugar or anything. Some sorts of black tea also go with brown rock candy, especially the black wild cherry tea (if I translate it correctly).

 I don't like coffee.

Coffee. 
When I visit my grandmother she makes me a "bette sort en", which translates into something like a small black one(very imaginative).You put a coin in your coffee cup and then pour Red Aalborg (Snaps) in, until you´ve drowned the money. Top it off with strong black coffee, that´ll wake up hibernating bears from miles away just from the strong smell alone, -and then you have a Danish specialty from the Northern part of Jutland. It´s like a stronger version of Irish coffee without the sweetness. You have to be careful though - snaps and coffee is a strange combinationTongue
