Coffee?

[Herbsman.]

Coffee is for ponces

Tea is a real hard man's drink

 

[strung out]

maybe

 

[strung out]

i've only ever had one cup of tea as well

 

[Herbsman.]

what, only one, ever?

 

[strung out]

yes

 

[Herbsman.]

You're lying man!

 

[dada]

i love both tea and coffee.

the smell of coffee is most enticing.
though it don't wake me up.
and i can drink lots in the day and still sleep like a baby at night.
wish i can have a cup of latte now, with caramel syrup...

tea is class.
it's a whole different culture from coffee.
collecting hand-made ceramic tea pots/cups is a novelty i enjoy.

I have tea whilst waiting for the coffee machine to heat-up in the morning.

On to next coffee now, with fudge - sublime!

 

[berniedicters]

I wake up with tea. Then, an hour or so later (assuming I'm at home), it's time to brew up a nice cafetiere of French ground coffee.

I might have another lot later in the morning, but after that it's tea all the way to the end of the day, when - on special occasions - I might have a spot more coffee.

 

[bi0boy]

I always drink tea

I love the taste of coffee but it's too strong for me. After 90 minutes of stimulation when I can do crosswords and shit, it makes me tetchy for the rest of the day and I end up not being able to sleep that night.

 

[Roadkill]

All three options.

Coffee is sublime at any time of the day, second only to tea.

 

[Fedayn]

What's your angle on the brown sludge that waketh the world?

I love it, I shall be drinking lovely Italian coffee in Rome this coming weekend!

 

[seeformiles]

Love the taste but gives me a maddeningly itchy crack if I drink a lot of it - God knows why!

 

[Clair De Lune]

I love coffee
If it's instant it has to be blend 37.

 

[kyser_soze]

I love my morning vanilla latte from Costa on the way into work of a morning...from Nero's if I'm coming via Victoria...

what did they drink before coffee got invented?

They lived an empty existence; anatomically human, but without meaning to their lives.

why drink coffee when you could just have something that tastes a lot nicer? like fruit juice. or beer.

Not comparisons, really. I'd rather have water than fruit juice, and if I'm thirsty that's what I do.

Coffee isn't really a drink, though. It is liquid, but that's the only comparison; it is liquid humanity.

 

[Andrew Hertford]

In my entire life I've only ever drunk coffee a couple of times and then out of politeness. I now see why life seems to have no meaning.

QED.

You can stop searching. Cast aside religion, New Age mumbo jumbo, self help books and charismatic inspirational speakers. Coffee is the answer.

 

[kained&able]

i love coffee. Start my day with a decent cup and then drink another 4/5 cups of instant when at work.

A black americano...

You mean a black coffee? WTF is it with this "americano"? Is it a young persons thing?

For me a large cup of very strong black coffee lasts me through the day. No more caffeine required. A weak black tea to be polite occasionally, though.

Indeed, knowledge comes from within. Trouble is, so does a cup of coffee a few minutes after I've drunk it.

 

[gentlegreen]

It's like crack for me - so I rarely drink it these days ....

I have in the past been quite serious about it.

 

[girasol]

I have a cup when I get to work (or when I get up during the weekend) and that's that. I used to have two a day until a couple of months ago but it really started interfering with my sleep.

I like the way it makes my heart beat fast and I feel all warm the second it hits my stomach (although that's the very thing other people don't like about coffee). Effective drug!

 

[spring-peeper]

I used to drink 8-10 cups a day, then I stopped cold turkey for health reasons.

I tried a very diluted cup the other day and started shaking after 2 sips.

I still love the smell of it though.

 

[rutabowa]

coffee is great but iwould rather have nothing than a bad coffee so i only have it a few times a week, i only really want filtered or espresso

 

[Chz]

I use coffee to get me going in the morning
and I like it and drink it whenever I please
and I waver between tea and coffee.


The only caveat is that I'm a lot less fussy about how good the coffee is first thing in the morning.

 

[mrs quoad]

It's an espresso topped up with hot water

BUT it'll have a different flavour to the same coffee, brewed... And the espresso machine / type of espresso machine will add another element of variability n all.

Espresso = extracted in approx. 25 seconds under pressure; filter / cafetiere = extracted in <4 mins. Not usually pressurised.

Now there is someone who KNOWS their coffee ^ ^

I have one mug of coffee first thing in the morning, and that's it. I used to drink loads of the stuff but it just got me hypo.
