Tea, Coffee or other? - Page 2

HW3 · 02-20-17, 01:06 PM

A glass of milk usually unless I am having breakfast out, then it is coffee with cream.

Tea. Hot tea when it's cold. Iced tea when it's warm. My dad loved tea, and got me started. The instant stuff. I still keep a supply on hand for when the pitcher is empty, but overall I far prefer brewing my own. All that said, my dad also loved coffee, and I never liked the taste, which is weird because I love the smell.

And on days like today when I was up late and am just getting up at noon, a glass of Doctor Pepper is the key, so 'Tea' and 'Other'.

Been meaning to try that stuff, but more recently I've wanted to try the stuff from Black Rifle Coffee Company but a lot of it is sold out since they challenged Starbucks.

Definitely coffee to get the engine started in the morning, then tea or coffee throughout the day as the mood takes me. Of course it's beer/wine in the evening!

Tea turns real men into nancy boys. Just look what hapened to British Empire after they started drinking the stuff. They went from the likes of Vice Admiral Horatio Nelson, 1st Viscount Nelson, 1st Duke of Bronté KB to the Pet Shop Boys.

Americans had the Boston Tea Party dumped the crap over the side and started drinking a real mans drink, coffee. Great Again!

Death Wish delivery times are quicker but ya gotta admit 'F* Hipster Coffee' is worth the wait (when they have it)

Black or green teas or a mix of both is a nice change of pace, especially after drinking pots of strong coffee or what I call, " Rocket fuel. " Tea along with some nice music before bed can be very relaxing. Coffee that is spruced up with a pinch of salt and some Irish Whiskey can be nice too.

The gourmet blends of coffee are ok and can be a nice change of pace as well but it's hard to beat a fresh cup of well made, basic coffee.

In the morning?
Coffee, black. From a giant can, pre-ground, from the grocery store, put through a drip coffee maker.

Other times:
Coffee, rapidly approaching room temperature because it's been in the pot all morning.
Or whatever other coffee you have available.

I often like a cup of tea in the afternoon or evening. Lapsang souchong or cheap grocery store tea bags usually.
When I'm sick, it's a strong cup of tea, with some lemon and enough honey to make it noticeably thicker. And a shot or two of bourbon.

I couldn't get by each day without my coffee, but during morning lunch/smoko breaks I like a hot muffin with a drink of spice chai.

Eichhörnchen · 02-21-17, 01:38 AM

Hot black tea first thing in the morning, then alternating black (instant or filter) coffee & tea during day, then an instant cappucino before bed.

In Tech School, I was introduced to "navy coffee" where it is perked through the grounds twice.

Grrr.

Rugged Stuff.

Reece · 02-21-17, 06:23 PM

Even the navy wouldn't drink that swill.

I prefer tea. Black tea with honey and lemon. I use coffee as stimulant if i'm tired or with alcohol.
