Coffee or tea?

[Scar]

I usually like tea but I drink coffee the way I might eat desert.. infrequently but sometimes in the morning when I am depressed (mmm cake for breakfast...)

[Kidthorazine]

coffee in the morning, tea or soda at any other time, amphetamine if i have to stay up longer than normal.

[ScarlettSin]

Why is there not a "Both" button? See I'll drink a cup (maybe 2) of coffee in the morning and after that its all teas. Jasmine, raspberry, chai...

im a sucker for chamomile or this rad minty tasting plant my grandma grows in her garden, and on a hot day i love me some iced tea

[VoltaireBlue]

I prefer tea.. several different kinds at different times of the day........

[CherryCola]

cola or coffee or red bull or all of 'em

[Toe Cutter]

Both. I start with a cup of english breakfast in the morning at home, and once I get to work I have about 6 shots of espresso. Then more coffee after lunch.

[MrGoff]

coffee messes my tummy up can't drink it. I'm way to up I don't need it. I need more of a downer but I love tea and mountain dew

I can't stand tea, so I chose Coffee (with at least 3 or 4 sugars). Normally during the day, at work I drink soft drinks (Pepsi, 7UP, Sprite, Coca-Cola, Fanta, whatever is cheap) with lots of chocolate. (Got to keep my strength up, what with all the lifting and carrying I do)

[mmmcherry]

mmmmm teaaaa... orange pekoe with international delights vanilla or vanilla toffee caramel in it *drool*
in fact, im gonna have some right now!
me and jamie alllways have tea! coffee is yucky...

TEA!!! I drink about 3 pots a day according to my husband. Really my little tea pot only holds 24 oz, so I would guess more like 48 oz in a day. And then add just as much water to that.

Recently, we've been getting Capri-Sun Blood Orange flavour. It even comes with a little set of halloween body stamp "tattoos"

[TheQuietPlace]

Coffee is a social thing for me. I invite my best friend out for coffee once a week, and we sit there for a few hours and bullshit around while smoking cigarettes. Its an amazing thing "Coffee-Stoges™" as me and my friends like to call it. Hehe.

i make tea at home but have coffee when i am out... i like madagascar vanilla red rooibos (i don't know if that's how it's spelled but i don't study the box) tea and ginseng tea, then when i am out i get starbucks skim or soy lattes, sometimes cheap gas station burnt coffee. i like to mix the different kinds of gas station coffee available. sometimes if you put just the right amount of vanilla hazelnut with regular leaded and a dash of macadamia & enough sugar it tastes a little bit less like the inside of an ashtray. amazing!

I am back to being a tea drinker after being a heavy coffee drinking. I gave up smoking last year and found I did not like coffee any more maybe I just need to find a good brand.

[ScarlettSin]

Seeker-- May I make a suggestion for really good coffee? illy is my poison of choice. A very smooth coffee imported from Italy I can actually buy it at the locla grocery store for around $10 for an 8.8 oz can. I know that sounds like a lot to pay for coffee, but as a connoisseur I believe it to be worth it. It's still yummy smooth the next morning even. If illy's not available try Dunkin Donuts. Another really smooth and kind of sweet coffee that was the only thing I'd drink till I worked at the European Cafe up the street and became addicted to illy.

Illy website here the site is kind of pricey but it has a store locater function which is really useful. I know Publix groceries carries it and so does World Market.

Dunkin' Donuts the first runner up. fairly cheap but really good for the $.

MMM....man I'm sold!!

[TheQuietPlace]

oooh man Gevalia makes really good coffee too. Check 'em out.

Thank you for your information Scarlett. I have found that there is an Australian Illy distribution point so first I'll find out if my local coffee places carry it and then consider ordering online if no one does.

Anyone else have great coffee choices?

You can't expect to live in Seattle
and NOT drink coffee, can't help
it... in the city that shat Starfuck$
upon the rest of the world, can't turn
around without there being one or 8
within a block of each other.

Generally I have at least two 52 oz
Bubba Keg mugs of mud each and
every day, usually a French roast
or something dark and heavy, doctor's
say at least 4 cups a day keeps the
blood sugar down and manageable...
being a former diabetic, I can attest
to that... coffee is waaay fucking cheaper
than insulin and other meds.

Not that the medical marijuana program
here doesn't help me out as well

dude, i want a Bubba Keg! haha

i used to be a total tea drinker until I started working at a bookstore with a cafe, and now I work 3rd shift so i'm all about the coffee (Seattle's Best, and it's free). I actually think I have a latte addiction now. I do still drink tea on occasion now though, particularly towards the end of my shifts or when I get home from work.

Guiness Breakfast of champions!

[ScarlettSin]

yes Gevalia is yummy too. in fact i, can drink almost any coffee as long as its not that sludge they serve at starfucks (aka maxwell house in a green bag), hotel/diner coffees usually blow as does anything they serve in the hospital waiting rooms. 7-11 actually has decent coffee, as long as its fresh. (their blueberry is awesome). and Barnies is loverly. I pined for Barnies when I was in LA till i found Edies (in van nuys).

As far as teas go my favourite one i can't get any more. Harvest Tea from teh no defunct Harvest Restraunt in Denver was a mix of black tea, cinnamon cloves and orange peel that was simply divine. I have a tablespoon left that I'm saving for its aromatic properties. it smells so good and is actually kind of spicy. Jasmine tea is a close third behind Red Chai (or any chai really. but the red stuff is really really good)
