I drink both, though I have cut the caffeine a lot over the last couple of years.  Alta Rica is a really good instant coffee (I have had friends in the States look for more coffee in the perculator after giving them Alta Rica).  I like PG tips and Tesco Earl Grey tea, though I have others.  For a while there was a Twinings Green Earl Grey that I really liked.  I still like the occasional Lavazza Espresso which I make in an Itallian espresso pot, however since I cut the caffeine I try to drink only decaf after 3 pm.  My favorite coffee to brew is the Tesco Fair Trade or Sainsbury's Machu Picchu.

Does anyone else have mug preference?
I don't seem to like the uber cheap ones, and have a preference for a specific Dunoon one :?

I don't care what they're made of.  At home I have a Bugs Bunny one, at work I have one with the cover art from The Magician's Birthday by Uriah Heep.  :lol:

At home I have several mugs but at work I have something special.  A few of us declared a "mug war" about 4 years ago and my buddy Rich landed a killer punch when he found a Charles and Camilla Wedding Commemorative mug.  There was only one way to top that and five quid on eBay got me a super-ornate Andy and Fergie Wedding Commemorative Wedgewood masterpiece of tat.  I've used that ever since and get quite a few comments in the kitchen to this day.  It still makes me giggle.

I don't mind too much about the pattern on the mug just so long as the handle is on the right hand side. Mind you, the thickly glazed ones suck tone in my experience.

That's true and the pre-'86 corporate buy-out Wedgewood mugs are much superior to the later ones. :)

Your so right but you just try and tell anyone and they'll laugh at you.

I like tea in the Wedgewood/Royal Doulton design of cup - Doesn't have to be Wedgewood or even bone china but a mug is just wrong - But then I don't have milk in tea.

As I only drink espresso - it has to be an espresso cup, although in a coffee shop I prefer a proper paper cup to those little ones.

My 24 CTU mug is always the best for tea :lol: Just the right size and is related to 24, therefore it's good.

I used to have one of those mugs where the ladies clothes dissapear when you put a hot drink in it. Don't know where it's gone.

Coffee is dirty, tea a much more civilised drink :)
