Do you prefer coffee or tea?

I just read a thread about how much coffee people drink and lots of posters said 3, 4 or 5 coffees in a day! I only occasionally drink coffee if I am meeting a friend and I don’t even enjoy it tbh.

At home I would always drink a cup of tea in the morning and maybe one in the afternoon and it’s water the rest of the time.

Are you a coffee or tea person?

Coffee, I couldn't live without coffee. Obviously thats an exaggeration but I'd give up every other drink before coffee.

Strong, black and sweet, first thing every morning ☕️

I love them both I drink around 6-8 cups a day when I am working most of that is coffee but when I am home I tend to drink more tea.

Coffee! No instant coffee, has to be the good stuff. I very rarely drink tea (chai sometimes).

MissMarplesbag · 14/01/2023 22:01

Coffee always

MissMarplesbag · 14/01/2023 22:02

Decaffeinated ground coffee for health reasons.

Coffee always.. I just can't drink tea

RewildingAmbridge · 14/01/2023 22:03

Good coffee, but I'd rather a mediocre cup of tea than a mediocre cup of coffee

Tea always, I like the smell of coffee, but not the taste.

This is me too

GuiltyPleasure · 14/01/2023 22:06

Tea always. I'd love to like coffee, but I don't like the smell or taste. I always wish I did when it comes to the end of a meal in a restaurant. So many lovely coffee choices & I sit with a pot of tea. Drinking coffee always feels like a grown up thing to do that I've never managed.

ProperVexed · 14/01/2023 22:07

Depends n the time of day.
So, two large cups of camomile tea on waking/ getting ready for work.
2 or 3 cups of freshly ground strong black coffee during the morning.
Then camomile tea for the rest of the day. Sometimes I go wild and have a peppermint tea!

IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads · 14/01/2023 22:12

Tea, preferably Yorkshire, in a mug. At least 5 a day. Never coffee, it makes me very ill.

Sometimes Earl Gray, if I'm out.

ThreeRingCircus · 14/01/2023 22:14

I like a coffee first thing in the morning, and if I'm out I'd order a coffee (no way am I paying £££ for a teabag in some hot water.) Tea the rest of the day though so if I had to only keep one, it would be tea.

broomtomb · 14/01/2023 22:15

Always coffee. Only 1-2 a day though, but I like them strong.

I don't really understand tea, for some reason I never really liked the taste. I love the taste of coffee though.

Mittens1717 · 14/01/2023 22:16

Coffee always, love the smell of tea but not the taste

MissingMoominMamma · 14/01/2023 22:16

I drink weak decaf coffee. I like a warm drink that doesn’t taste of much.

BeReet · 14/01/2023 22:17

I'm very fussy about my tea. I drink it black, I also drink my coffee black, and in the house I will always choose tea. When out in a caff or visting non family I will always have black coffee because I am way less fussy about how strong that is. I drink a shit tonne more tea than coffee and after 7pm we switch to decaff tea.

Procrastination4 · 14/01/2023 22:17

While I drink both, coffee would be my preferred choice by a country mile.

Minikievs · 14/01/2023 22:18

Coffee all day (full caff for first two cups) then decaff

Decaff tea in the evening (one or possibly two) just to kill the hunger pains as I'm on a new year diet!

ShowOfHands · 14/01/2023 22:18

I have an earl grey every morning and then water for most of the rest of the day.

I have a cupboard full of other teas and drink them as a treat at a weekend. Mostly fruit or herbal teas. Currently drinking a fiery ginger.

I can't drink coffee, it makes my heart race and I feel anxious.

WandaWonder · 14/01/2023 22:20

I like both but drink coffee more

Shampern · 14/01/2023 22:23

Tea mostly, but coffee when out because I can't be doing teapots and jugs.

DramaAlpaca · 14/01/2023 22:24

Tea, I drink loads of it every day, I think I need it to function. I only drink about 3 coffees a week, takeaway ones. I never drink coffee at home.

Cath667 · 14/01/2023 22:24

Tea. Non stop all day. I love it.
