Has DH got a point about my drinking habits?

Lighthearted!

My lovely DH asked me if we should sell my coffee machine this morning, he doesn’t drink hot drinks but I do.. so feeling rather offended by his wanting to remove my pride and joy I said “No! Why on earth would I want to do that?!”

DH took me by the hand and led me to my.. coffee station in the kitchen.

I think he may have a point 🤣 I do drink coffee.. just not as much as I drink tea🫖☕️

First post nails it.

No peppermint? There's a fennel one I like too. I'm not mad on the fruit teas. And Yorkshire is too strong for me. Very neat though. I think if I had a coffee machine I'd drink too much of it! X

In order to make a reasoned judgement on this matter, we need a picture of your coffee machine.

I like it....very tidy and organised,!! I'm not a coffee fan so this is ideal for me 😁

He doesn’t drink hot drinks? Is he 5? LTB and buy a new teapot!

Teresarose1973 · 05/10/2026 10:19

Victoria sponge brew?! I need this!

ToKittyornottoKitty · 05/10/2026 10:20

Is that Lipton tea a cold drink? Is it any good?

ToKittyornottoKitty · 05/10/2026 10:20

Oh and sorry I missed the point, LTB of course!

Megamegablahblah · 05/10/2026 10:24

I have wire racks that fit under the shelves in my cupboards - I have some white boxes in them that are full of teas. Just if you were thinking of space on the sides and reducing visual clutter.

JanuaryLove · 05/10/2026 10:26

Amateur I have about 20 boxes with pics to prove it

I need to know what flavours they are! I’m always on the hunt to try new teas 🤣

I’m out of peppermint unfortunately! I swap between traditional and herbal teas depending on my mood.

the Victoria sponge isn’t my favourite, it’s very fruity.

the sticky toffee pudding (which I’m also out of!) is absolutely divine though!

the Lipton tea can be hot or poured over ice for ice tea.. it’s really nice in the summer!

So you know what.. I don’t and have never owned a teapot. That’s going on my Christmas list!

Ohhhh you need to start a special teapot collection with its own shelf OP 😂

TeenToTwenties · 05/10/2026 11:06

Where did you get that racking for your tea station?

@BillieWiper Who does fennel tea, please?
I have struggled to find it in the shops.

Iliketulips · 05/10/2026 11:16

I'll give it to you, it's together and tidy. We've got coffee for filter coffee in a tin, jar instant decaf and fruit tea in one cupboard, earl grey and peppermint in another in anorher and ordinary teabags in a ceramic type tea caddy on worktop.

Twogingercats · 05/10/2026 11:17

Where is your teapot?!!!

Jk987 · 05/10/2026 11:30

YABU for getting a box of decaf. It just doesn’t taste good.

DelphiniumBlue · 05/10/2026 11:46

Oh, you’re missing ginger and mint teas. Mint for digestion, helps an upset tummy, and ginger for coughs and colds. Also very delicious.

SnortCorner · 05/10/2026 11:48

Where is that shelving system from OP?! I need that in my life! 😍

I can’t handle stuff on work tops so keep mine in the pull out shelf under the coffee machine and kettle.
