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!

  • I can't start my day without a mug of very strong black coffee. Possibly two. Then I can think about functioning. I used to do it in a Bialetti moka pot but now I have a DèLonghi machine that I've trained to fill a mug with full strength espresso.

    After the day is nicely aired it's tea from then on. And I am pernickety about that. Loose-leaf only. Three parts Lancaster Blend from J Atkinsons of Lancaster to one part Lapsang Souchong. Brewed for five minutes in a stainless steel teapot and drunk from my porcelain mug for tea only. No milk, no sugar.

    I agree! I couldn't possibly start the day and get my brain to function without two strong cups of coffee. I like how you've trained your coffee machine to fill a mug full of full strength expresso, that sounds good! Now where can I buy a coffee machine that I can train to do the same? I also like how you've got your tea drinking down to a fine art, it's good to know exactly how you like your tea or coffee :-)
