There's no hot chocolate there! I have instant, Cadbury and 4 different Velvetiser flavours.

PortSalutPlease · 02/10/2025 14:53

Tea - normal, decaf, possibly some very stale herbal
coffee - proper coffee only
hot chocolate - a few different ones I think? I don’t drink it personally
Possibly an out of date lemsip??

boulevardofbrokendreamss · 02/10/2025 14:53

Fresh coffee, tea (not sure what it is, I hate it), hot chocolate, hot water and neon, hot squash

ShesTheAlbatross · 02/10/2025 14:53

Instant coffee
coffee machine coffee (although I don’t know how it works so only DH can offer that)
regular tea
chamomile tea

Both the teas are very very old so may not taste like much. I don’t drink hot drinks, DH only drinks coffee.

Pod coffee, instant M&S coffee or pod hot chocolate.

VegQueen · 02/10/2025 14:56

Coffee - any espresso drink (espresso, flat white, americano etc), or from cafetière, bialetti, instant

Tea - loose English breakfast, EB tea bags (regular and decaf) plus 7 types of herbal tea

Cocoa

Maybe that’s a lot… but the only we got to offer people is the instant (for builders etc). Otherwise, we have it because we might want it ourselves.

Funnily enough I sorted out the cupboard with all the tea/coffee stuff and was impressed with our selection:

Normal tea
Instant coffee
Coffee pods for coffee machine
Lemon and ginger
Mixed berries
Salted caramel tea
Spiced tea
Peppermint
Jasmine (bags and loose)
Green tea
Green tea with lemon
Matcha latte
Hot chocolate (both Cadburys and Hotel Chocolat velvetiser options)
Hotel Chocolat flavoured lattes for velvetiser

Tea
Coffee
Hot chocolate

If someone (usually my Mum) wants anything fancy they can bring it themselves. Not usually necessary because Nescafé with cream and Yorkshire Tea with whole milk are usually nicer than anything you can get in a coffee shop…!

ACatAsleepInYourHat · 02/10/2025 15:00

Yorkshire tea
Clipper organic tea
Tesco instant coffee
El-Cheapo lemon tea (From B&M, name escapes me at the mo)
Co-Op hot chocolate

A very mundane selection in this house, but we only really drink tea in any quantity.

Colinfromaccounts · 02/10/2025 15:00

I could offer you literally nearly 100, but they would mostly be different varieties of tea (DH is into all the different kinds of leaves and stuff, our cupboard looks like we've robbed TWG)
