Which do you drink?
General / Off-Topic Should I make a tea or coffee?

I've done that before, no joke. I call it Go Go Juice.
On a free day, I start the day with a nice pot of black tea which usually yields around 4 cups, maybe 5. Need to boil it for 8-10 minutes and drink until 30 minutes has passed before it start becoming sour due excessive dissolving of stuff.
Then I follow up with something crunchy/crumbly to eat and a massive cup of filtered coffee, fresh out of my coffee machine. Usually dark as sin. Coffee may vary depending on what I wanna stick with that particular day. Might make another massive cup if that didn't just cut it. And when I mean massive, I mean it. Like the size of a 50cl beer mug.
Then I deploy again to make a pot of green tea from fresh green leaves with the addition of fresh mint, that usually yields around 5-6 cups. It might sometimes have the addition of a pinch of clove, or a little pinch of cinnamon. Well, I love mint-green tea.
Hm, now thinking of it, I like them all indiscriminately.
And then theres the tea before dinner, and a cup of turkish coffee after dinner, and another pot of tea after that and another cup of coffee after that before sleeping, but I'll spare you further details

Usually just ASDA own brand, which is fine.
Coffee? Whatever is on offer.
I don't take my hot drinks quite as seriously as soda.

Ah well, then drink whatever you fancy
I learned to appreciate a good quality hot drink, be it tea, coffee, yerba or whatever else
Tea.
Earl Grey.
Hot.
Make it so.

Twinnings English Breakfast.
Or Hong Wing Premium.
Not a coffee expert, but the locally grown stuff is better than the shipped in stuff, maybe because of the storage time. Literally, when you get it here, it might be one week out of the coffee house. And by "coffee house" I mean the wooden hut with the sliding roof in the mountains, where they dry it in the sun, not Starbucks.
Hong Wing is a hand grenade compared to squibs like Folgers. One slug and your irises will widen and then focus down. Can't take more than a cup a day. In any case, I'll take the tea.

Coffee for me
I find the tea excellent but I forget to do it

I'm the other way around: I have wicked coffee at work, so I'm not gonna bother making any at home. Plus its pretty hard to get chili-ginger tea outside of my home around here.
I'll have a black tea or a black coffee thanks...........
And who's fault is that?
Coffee all the way, man.
Unless you're with TJ, then you'd better have the tea.

I mix up my own tea, Assam, English Breakfast and a tiny bit of Earl Grey. Clippers is pretty good though. Trying to pin down a good cup of tea is so hard, the flavour changes with the slightest ingredient change: milk first or second, the hardness of the water, the kind of milk, the ambient temperature, some teas don't need milk, ... .
Coffee, I like a mocha with cinnamon but the most mochas are made with a sweet cocoa powder which I don't like.
