    are you a coffee person or a tea person?

    what kind of coffee or tea?


    i am particularly interested in hearing from out european friends, as they take their coffee a little more serious than we do in the usa!

    Yep, forgot black, no sugar.
    Rest of the day we drink iced tea, also not that sweet southern crap. Also no sugar, lots of ice cubes.:drink:

    We first moved to wonderful Florida and always ordered non-sweetened iced tea. Believe it or not, they didn't know how to make tea without sugar in most restaurants! DUH !;):drink:

    Coffee, :coffee::D(y). Strong and Black at home, Columbian. I leave the house with a beer mug full of it for the drive to work.

    Just before work I stop at a gas station (only thing open at that time), been there for so many years If I bring in my beer mug, my coffee is free....but there coffee..... I put a bit of sugar in it.

    Coffee break I normally pay the bill and send a kid (free coffee = good moral:yup:) but then I'll do a 1/2 hot chocolate 1/2 black.

    Weekends at home, I normally have at least one with some hot chocolate, dash of milk, and some times a bit of sugar. But the first cup is allways strong and black:D

    i guess i should state mine as i just posted the thread.
    my wife an i dont always drink coffee so large amounts tend to go stale so i bought one of those K cup brewers. love it! my wife likes flavored coffee and i hate it, so we dont have to make a pot of each. i also drink tea too depending on my mood. i take both with cream and no sugar.

    favorites:
    coffee
    ethiopian yurgacheffe (not available in a k cup..i have a press pot for that when i can find it!)
    green mountain: Nantucket blend
    caribou coffee: caribou blend

    tea
    twinings: english breakfast tea
    stash: earl grey

    i also do like the occasional cappuccino, espresso or cuban coffee. but the real deal, not the crap from the gas station

    also i must have a little canadian in me because when i can get it....ive come to love me some tims coffee

    Regular, ordinary coffee drinker here. We don't go for the fancy smanchy stuff (Starbucks et al.) Can't take it black, too bitter. I use artifical sweetener, since I'm diabetic (the blue stuff), but when I'm real good, I like to add a bit of raw sugar instead. A bit of milk to smooth it out, but if we had some half & half around, I'd use that.

    Anytime after 6:00PM or so, I'd have to switch to decafe, but we don't usually put the coffee on at night....
