Easy one: Coffee or tea?

and what kinds do you prefer? (brands/type ex. ground or instant coffee, flavored or dark roast, etc)
What time of day do you drink your hot beverages?

Goodmorning

Definetly coffee for me, first thing in the morning when I rolld out of bed (try to make it the night before so I just have to plug in the coffeemaker
). Right now its Kirkland dark roast but I will try a new brand when this one runs out.

Tea, and lots of it! I drink it from first thing in the morning and throughout the day to last thing at night.

Wow, that is any easy question! Coffee--all day, every day; no flavors, no whips. no lattes, just plain old coffee. I buy my coffee at Aldi's; DH told me ages ago that it was actually Hill's Brothers, but I don't know if it still is.

LOL, I didn't even realise that I hit 4000.



I like both coffee and tea, but must have my morning coffee. I usually use instant for it.

I do enjoy a med. roast ground, as well as certain flavored coffees.

Teas: I enjoy some herbals, a nice cup of Earl Grey....

But I've found since quitting smoking, I really have to limit my caffiene intake.

I used to drink 5-8 cups of coffee a day, now, 1. The odd time I will have 2, but any more than that and I will be very jittery

Coffee: I like lattes and cappucino's. However when I started dating my BF, I tried coffee with milk and sugar or splenda to my liking and now I love coffee! Usually a medium roast is good. Right now we are drinking Folgers.

Tea: Japanese green tea is my #1 choice. If I'm not feeling so good, then I'll try some mint tea too.

Coffee, coffee and coffee. I use Tasters Choice instant at home because I'm the only one that drinks coffee and it would be a big waste to brew a pot for myself. At work I have Van Houtte's 100% Columbian.

Hubby and I have started drinking some Chinese teas that we've been purchasing from the Farmer's Market. The Chinese lady has teas that supposedly help different parts of your body. I have one for digestion at the moment and another that is supposed to be good for the lungs. We've been having those in the evening. We have also tried some of the other like spearmint tea and licorice tea. The licorice tea is quite sweet. Very nice.

I've been searching for a good hot chocolate for the winter months but cannot seem to find a good tasting one. What do you use? I end up making my own cocoa but it's a bit of work and I'd love a quick hot chocolate occasionally.

Coffee! I'll drink a pot black by myself in the morning, preferably strong enough that it crawls out of the kitchen and taps me on the shoulder to let me know it's finished brewing.
I might fix a small pot in the evening if I can't sleep, with a bit of milk and sugar it puts me right out. Yup, I'm a total caffiene addict!

My preferred brands are Starbucks Sumatra or Folgers Black Silk, but those are what I get for birthday gifts. Unless it's on sale I drink Walmart Columbian.

I'll drink tea but coffee's my favorite. Right now I'm in a phase where I MUST have Chicory in my coffee. Until I had my ulcer I drank my coffee black, now I drink it with cream in it.

Coffee
If cost were not a concern it would be Fair Trade Jaimaican Blue Mountain whole bean.
Since cost is a concern, it's mass produced whatever is on sale, with a pound of something good lurking in the freezer (Kona last go around).

Primarily coffee. Dark roasts: some of the Starbucks ones, also a few local roasters (Saltspring, Kicking Horse, Bean Brothers) who use only Fair Trade beans -- of those, whatever is on sale, because they are all good. I drink it black at home, because Rob does and it's too much nuisance to keep cream just for me. I really like it black, but I also really like it with cream (preferably 18%) and a little sugar (preferably demerara). I have it that way in the office, because the people who share the pot like it that way, too, so keeping the supplies is easy. It's a different beverage. I don't drink coffee before I have at least a little food, but then I enjoy it until lunch time. After noon, I'm mostly not interested in coffee, unless it's a cappuccino or after dinner, but those are pretty rare.

As for tea, I really enjoy it for a change, but seldom think of putting it on myself. I like Earl Grey best of the black teas, and enjoy some herb teas, particularly some of the Celestial Seasonings offerings. Not interested in tea before mid-afternoon.

It has to be coffee for me, I can't drink tea it tastes yuck!

I will drink any coffee that is going, as long as it has milk and two sugars in it.

Coffee for me and I like dark roasts. I purchased a Keurig coffee maker a couple of years ago and I really love it since I can make coffee one cup at a time so there is no waste. When I use my own coffee, I make Chock Full O' Nuts. Otherwise I use K-cups which are already filled with a specific coffee and you just touch the button and walla, you have a perfect cup of coffee.
