Tea, Coffee or other?

Red October1984 · 02-20-17, 09:25 AM

So it's been a while since this has been kicked around on the forum. (Search says 2006)

So my question is this...

What do you guys like in the morning to start the day? What's your favorite way to prepare it if applicable and what's your favorite brew/roast/etc.

I love coffee. It's great. I love all different kinds of coffee. At any given time I have 5 different kinds on my desk next to my grinder and coffee pot. I prefer a french press but my drip maker does alright when I grind the beans myself. I would really like to try the Turkish stuff that Betonov talks about but I can't seem to find anywhere that makes it that way.

Lately I've been drinking a lot of Caribou Coffee's Mahogany Dark Roast. It's got a great flavor even for being made in a drip pot.

Tea. Ceylon with lemon and sugar or pure Darjeeling.

every morning I stop and get two large leaded coffees and slam them down on my twenty minute ride to work. then I stop and get one more that I can enjoy at the office. On my days off at home its Death Wish coffee, truly nectar of the gods.

I think we begin to see the cultural split here.

If I have time for proper tea rather than dishwater I drink tea. Otherwise glass of fresh water have to do.

I learned to drink tea at age of 15 when commuting to school (weeks in dormitory, weekends at home). Connecting train was usually late so there was a lot of time to sit in express train's dining car with nothing better to do (homework doesn't count) than test different tea options.

I don't really like coffee and once as a child I compared it to wallpaper glue... although I don't know what the latter tastes like...

Pour over coffee as it's known today. Half and half, or black, no sugar or honey, and no damned smelly flavourings! Well, except whisky when camping.
