Tea or coffee?

Kitsune

I’m just finishing my 3rd coffee of the day (I really need to cut down again!) and just wondered what hot drink other people prefer? Are you a coffee drinker or do you prefer tea or perhaps you like herbal tea (good flavour recommendations welcome!) or something else? How do you take your tea/coffee/other. I drink strong black coffee with no milk or sugar but with half cold water due to sensitive gums; I don’t drink tea but do drink herbal teas depending on the flavour, lemon, ginger and manuka honey is a current favourite but peppermint and liquorice is a recent fail on the herbal tea front!

  • Coffee always. But never ever instant. To me instant coffee is so wrong. My favourite coffee is oat milk flat white or Americano with caramel syrup and hot soya milk. I like espresso based most but filter can be ok. Luckily I have a coffee machine or else I'd be spending a small fortune! Actually I only have 2-3 coffees a day but I so appreciate each one. I can drink espresso based coffee right before bed and then fall asleep right away. Very strange.

    I’ve had Americano with caramel syrup before and it’s good! Coffee machine coffee is nice and there’s definitely a quality to the taste that you don’t get with instant coffee. Those boxes of pods are expensive though! When I had a functioning coffee machine I always used to wait until Sainsbury’s had a special offer on the boxes of pods then bulk buy! There are some people who don’t seem to get kept awake by coffee, I’m not one of them though!
