Tea or coffee?
« on: October 22, 2009, 03:16:11 PM »
Well rumors have it that British people are fond of tea and since BKP is a English company and there's a healthy overweight of Brits at this forum I'll pop this question out of interest.

Do you prefer tea or coffee? Or do you stick to other hot drinks like hot chocolate, rum toddy, etc.

Personally I don't like coffee. I can drink it, but I don't enjoy the taste and my stomach doesn't like it as well. I'm no big tea drinker either, but in general I like tea.

Coffee - black and strong only.  As to tea - I only like darjeeling, afternoon tea or Earl Gray, preferably brewed in a tea pot and definately without milk - the stuff sold in bags with milk added is fine for servants but not for gentlemen like myself

Tea at home, coffee when I'm out. For some reason I never enjoy bought cups of tea.

Tea - english breakfast. I dont like poncey earl grey or anything like that. Peppermint is nice in small doses though :oops: Coffee is ok but its just not the same as a nice cup of tea.

I'm a coffee person. I like my coffee strong. 2 tea spoons of coffee, 2 tea spoons of sugar with milk of course :)

I do drink tea on the odd occasion but I much prefer coffee.

i like both. I prefer coffee, but i can't drink it as much as tea. i agree about drinking "proper" tea which elliot is talking about... assam, darjeeling, ceylon... all good stuff. Leaves, too. I drink tea bags when I'm being lazy, though, it's not like i'd refuse to drink tea made with bags or anything like that. :D

and you're a ponce, tom. :lol:

Coffee, with a splash of milk.  But it HAS to be the good and strong stuff made with an espresso/hot water and the best beans.

We have a bean-to-cup machine at home as we're such addicts  :oops:

Tea - splash of milk, no sugar.

Coffee is for snotty suited city fannies to put in fancy pants cups to ride the tube to work with. These people also wear trainers while on the tube at the same time as their suits, probably because they are so 'on the go'.

Nick Griffin probably drinks tea. so it MUST be British!

coffee - strong and fresh.

finally got a decent espresso maker the other month and now i am used to it i am happy that i can easily ebat most coffe shops for espresso

ii used to be a litre of freshly ground and brewed coffee a day but now i much prefer 1 or 2 double espresso's and a couple of decent instants whislt at work

i even roast my own beans occasionally - roast, leave overnight, grind and brew - nothing gets better

I hate that suit and trainer combo thing - it was started by city girls - you used to see them changing into their high heels just round the corner from their office.  Sometimes quite a nice sight.

Personally, I leave my suit at work, wear my jeans on the train and change into my prof togs when I get in.

Coffee.

I dont dislike tea, rather like it actually, but I almost never drink it.

Strong coffee too. Two heaped spoons of coffee, 1.5ish tablespoons per cup of strength 5 or higher, extra shot or two if its from a coffee shop.

Coffee for me.
Stronger the better (which is why I like Turkish so much).
Milk is sacrilege.
