Coffee...

... And other crap that we readily inject into our systems.

What do you do for Coffee? Do you actually do Coffee? Is it a social thing for you?

If Caffene isn't for you, what about tea? Do you have a particular Tea shop that you visit on a regular basis?

Post your *Insert Warm Beverage* routines and activities here.

Also, if you're one of those blokes who would bat an eye at those who would add sugar/milk to their coffees, feel free to mention that as well.

The only time I add anything to my coffee is when I don't have enough time in the morning to drink it straight. And when we're out of milk, you can replace it with water.

I love coffee. I have it as often as possible. My favorite blends are the African ones.

I dislike both Coffee and Tea but I can readily deal with both, I prefer a nice Starbucks Hazelnut Hot Chocolate. Too bad there's no Starbucks near me so I can't get one in the morn.

I drink both.
But currently more tea.
I drink Earl Grey, Assam, English Breakfast Tea and Green tea mostly, if I'm out I'll drink Peppermint & Liquorice or some fruit tea.
African blends of coffee ftw.
I generally add nothing to either, although occasionally I'll add honey to tea or one brown sugar to coffee.

Oh and I refuse to drink at Starbucks.

The reason behind not going to Starbucks escapes me but I have an inkling sensation that it's to do with one of their policys.

I try to drink just Fair Trade coffee, damned if I know where it comes from.

The pleasant aroma of coffee does much more to envigorate me than actually drinking it; a fact which has saved me considerable expense over the years. Occasionally I will partake of Jasmine or Chrysanthamum tea, usually infused with a touch of honey, to placate my system when a meal has become decidedly disagreeable post-consumption. Of course, my guilty pleasure during the cold winter months is a steaming mug of cocoa.

Well I used to avoid it due to the coffee being over roasted over priced and overly crap in general.

And then I found out about them wanting to block a trademark application for Sidamo and Harar coffee beans from Ethiopia which somehow would fuck up Ethiopia's economy. The tried to advise Ethiopia's government wrongly about the effect it would have.

Then Oxfam told people to boycott Starbucks.
And Starbucks told people to boycott Oxfam.


But I generally just tell people it's 'cos their coffee's crap as people get as bored of hearing that as I get telling it.

I need coffee in the morning. I just have instant shit (that I think tastes awesome) made almost entirely with milk. Pretty much an ice coffee that isn't ice cold, and I love it.

If I'm feeling fancy I employ the use of our coffee machine which I think we have stocked with a dark roast Jamaican or something... I don't know coffee varieties any further than 'good' and 'not so good'.

Tea is alright sometimes, and for that I go for Malaysian Boh tea.

I only drink peppermint-ginseng tea, with a little honey. If I buy it from a coffee shop, it's the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf.

Like I like my women: bold and creamy.

And Corpsey my boy, tea also has caffeine in it. Unless it's decaf or herbal tea, the latter of which isn't really tea if you want to split hairs.

I don't like coffee at all, but I do enjoy hot chocolate. Now that Winter is here, I have an excuse to drink it more often.

I drink coffee a lot. As often as I can. I usually add cream and sugar, but I also like it black. I drink it in the morning or whenever I go out to a place that has it except for Starbucks because their coffee is terrible. It's not so much the caffeine as much as how good it tastes. I drink a lot of tea, too. Earl Grey, English Breakfast, and Lady Grey are my favorites.

I drink fair-trade, shade-grown, dark roast coffee. Black, hella strong.
I drink all teas except Earl Grey. My currents favorites are Tazo Awake, Celestial Seasonings Chai, and Twinings Apple-Chamomile.

People who can function without some kind of hot caffeinated beverage in the morning are strange and unnatural.

I love coffee - although I'm not much of a gadgety guy, my coffee machine with automatic timer is my favorite thing and I love it more than most people love their firstborn child. I hate sugar (what's up with that? Coffee is supposed to be bitter) but like it both with and without milk. Irish coffee is the best extreme hangover cure available to mankind if you can't get hold of speed and to stay in bed groaning all day is absolutely out of the question.

I like coffee but I rarely drink it. When I do, I always have it black.

Hate coffee with a passion, I think it tastes of asses. Hot, burnt asses.
I drink about 8 cups of green tea every day, give or take, and I hate when people put anything in their teas. I also love hot chocolate.

I love coffee and tea equally and when I want coffee I want organic, shade grown, fair-trade, at the moment I am especially fond of really rich Ethiopian blends. Personally I'm disappointed that there aren't more tea houses, there were quite a few back home but not so much around here.

I don't like tea or coffee, despite my parents complete addiction to tea. They get caffeine withdrawal headaches.

Hot chocolate is alright sometimes, but even that isn't amazing.

I've yet to experience any sort of withdrawl from Caffeine yet, and I'm quite thankful for it.

Viscus my companion, I'd expect caffeine in all sorts of places, so long as I never discover some up my nose.

For me: I usually only have tea with my Grandfather or with my mother.


Has anyone tried Vietnamese coffee before? My father gave me some of it the other day and it had a very unique aroma & flavour to it. Not quite bitter or sweet but something else.
