Tea or coffee?

Do you prefer tea or coffee? My preference is fairly weak Yorkshire tea, definitely no milk or sugar & around 6-8 mugs per day. I very rarely drink coffee.

Tea for the first two hot drinks of the day (Twinings Strong English Breakfast with a splash of milk), instant coffee with oat milk late morning, and a very white pod coffee with a little hazelnut syrup early afternoon. I’m fussy about tea, so if we’re out or away, I’ll stick to coffee.

Strong tea, milk, no sugar.

I rarely drink coffee unless I wind up at a coffee shop, or I have a McDonald's breakfast.

Two normal instant coffees to wake up, then switch to decaf, very rarely drink tea.
If I'm out a decaf cappuccino always

Rarely drink tea. If I do, it's middling to weak, no milk, no sugar. I will sometimes have a herbal tea or a hot chocolate. I never drink coffee. I'm pretty sure caffeine doesn't agree with me.

Coffee from the coffee machine.

DelurkingAJ · 20/10/2024 13:04

Proper coffee, black, no sugar. Otherwise Earl Grey, milk, fairly weak. Otherwise water.

Never coffee
If having tea then milk + 1/2 a tsp sugar
I rarely make proper tea for myself though Pukka Wild Apple or hot vimto is my go to ATM.

Two strong coffees to start the day. Weak black tea from lunchtime onwards.

NotUnderMyUmbrella · 20/10/2024 13:06

Tea every day of the week! Normally English breakfast, or assam. Two or three cups a day

I occasionally drink herbal tea - one per week maybe.

I very seldom drink coffee. I might have one alongside a cooked breakfast when staying in a hotel - which doesn’t often occur!

I like all types of coffee, black, white, posh, instant, iced, hot, as long it’s it strong I’ll drink it. I never drink tea, can’t stand the smell. Not sure if I’ve ever actually tasted it

Onetwothreemisstwo123 · 20/10/2024 13:13

Love the smell of coffee, can't stand the taste.
I drink about 8 mugs of strong tea, milk and no sugar each day.

Milk tea with two sweeteners. Have morrisins own at the monent. Don't like coffee.

SingingSands · 20/10/2024 14:02

Definitely tea - always Yorkshire tea. I might have coffee twice a month at most, but only if DH makes it for me.
