Love both but I can only drink coffee about two times a day otherwise I start feeling sick.

When I used to go to work we had a tea round going so we used to go through about 8 cups of tea between 9-5  :?

Can't stand coffee.
I like most traditional (not green / herbal) teas that I have tried, but I do prefer them weak, as much sugar as I feel like on the day.
Has to be out of a good cup though, won't taste right out of cheap ones

Here in Brazil is very hard someone drink tea... tried once to get tea and milk in a coffee shop and it was really weird... how do you get the milk on the tea???

So I usually drink coffee, but hate the expresso coffee...

Tea of course. I dislike coffee immensely and like Elliott I am fond of the real thing. Darjeeling too for me-the champagne of teas. I am not so fond of the far out stuff like Lapsang Souchong. Assam has nice body to it. I used to love a cup of Keemun in the afternoon. I rarely drink tea made by anyone else though except Mrs 38th who had to go through an extensive training course and a rigorous practical examination but qualified well and now gets to make tea for me as a special treat( for her). For quickness I have to resort to those bag thingies at work but I get the organic Tetley which is not bad at all.

indeed, my wife (he he!) is a tea drinker, but she has been trained to make coffee over the last few months...   she can do milky frothey shitee for herself but has got the espresso running nicely now for me

i was taught to use a kettle as soon as i could reach it, my parents must never have made themselves a drink from the age i was 8.   As a young teenager i was a normal two sugers an milk coffee drinker, hated black.  when i was 15 i was going scottish, two of everything... coffee, sugar and milk slowly i adjusted to just black coffee, then i wanted the best black coffee i could get (what some call americano) and that was fine for a while

now i am a contant espresso (and no cr@p shitee, illy or better) drinker, whats left - crack next!!

im all about the coffee,
when i was in london last year it was nearly impossible to find good coffee from cafes though. I think NZers make them pretty well, some barista here though are way to into it and believe its some sort of artform. if it was as amazing as they thought maybe they wouldnt be earning minimum wage.
only good cafe i found in london was in soho called flat white. run by NZers so gave double shots as standard (the way it should be)

addicted to coffee, trying to give it up, down to 2 cups a day, was 1 the other week but then I got that cold/swine flu going round and went sod it!

if you gotta add sugar, then you don't like it! there should be a law to stop those 3 sugar people

Black coffee, no sugar. Strong, fresh and black.

I like ice tea, but I only drink hot tea when I am sick. (I know that I must really be sick when I don't want coffee.)

Chewing the coffee beans and blending in a sip of hot water in the mouth...  :P

Seems like there's a bit overweight of coffee drinkers. Maybe the classic British gent, who likes to gently sip his tea and strolls around with hat, coat and umbrella is about to become extinct...

Generally tea at home (but the coffee pot goes on weekend mornings).  At work I have coffee (well it's brownm but that's where the resemblance ends), got to get it out of a machine as we're not to be trusted with a kettle and it's bloody aweful.... but not as bad as the tea.  Don't know what scares me more, drinking the cr@p or the fact that I'm actually getting a taste for it.
Advice worth what you just paid for it.

He exists - but not among the greebo guitar players on this forum - Perhaps if you went the The Chap website?  :D

tea for me, definately!  don't like coffee, unless it has a liberal dash of whiskey added :)

most of my tea is drunk at work, which means whichever scummy teabags they've bothered to buy.  at home i've always drunk various loose teas, i'm no connoisseur but i like a decent cup.  at the minute i'm drinking a lot of earl grey, but starting to get bit sick of it.

i take a bit of milk, or a slice of lemon.  don't combine, cause the milk'll curdle!
