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🫖☕️

That's a remarkably restrained tea station. You should get more.

You do know by having tea on show you've reduced the value of your house don't you?
The market has dropped and any self respecting property owner would hide all clutter. Just the work of a 'slack Alice' in my opinion.

I'm off to Polish my KitchenAid mixer.

Appalled that you support Liptons and don't keep Barry's in stock, fix that please (ideally Gold, will be available in the 'World Foods' aisle, Ocado or Amazon).

Looks ace!! Haha got to enjoy the little things

As far as I'm concerned, only one of those things is tea.

The others are just depressing limp clammy handshakes in a cup.

I don't drink hot drinks! I really want to like them I just cant!

Me either. Occasionally I can handle a black coffee but not really interested in it.

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

How can you not have a teapot? I don't drink tea and I have a couple Paul Cardew teapots! My DH drinks tea and has a couple different ones by Cardew and someone else.

Definitely put "teapot" on your Christmas list, along with some nice fancy teas!

I have so much tea my partner has suggested a one in one out policy now. 😅

I'm obsessed with the Bird & Blend Buttermint tea (one of their shops is local to us which is a blessing and a curse) tastes just like eating a Murray Mint. I think Twinings might do a version of it too.

Have also started getting in to matcha so the tea/coffee cupboard is getting a bit overflowing 😂

I have a shelf (at eye level above my kettle) in my kitchen for all my teas, coffees and hot chocolates (where are your hot choc drinks?) LTB!

I've probably got as much, but it's in a cupboard. Don't see a problem, friends sometimes want all different things.
