Does your morning routine include coffee or tea...from home or a shop?

Do you make coffee to be ready when you arise in the mornings...Do you boil water as soon as you enter the kitchen for a morning cup of tea...or do you ready yourself for the day and then head to a coffee shop/cafe to enjoy your first morning beverage? Are you a one cup per day person...or do you sip all day long? Do you vary your routine?..having a latte one day and a mocha then next?...Do you have a cut off time for caffeine intake or do you indulge right up until the evening?

I only drink coffee about once a week. I drink tea occasionally but often later in the day. I like lots of teas but chai is one of my favorites.

I drink coffee at home. I do drink a cup at work if I miss my morning coffee at home. I usually have my coffee around 5AM. I only drink one cup max is two. I am not into the latte and mocha. I think I have 1 or two a month.

I start the coffee as soon as I get up and I will drink the coffee all morning, then I won't have anymore until the next day.

I have tea, not allowed to have coffee, so my spouse makes it a point to have a hot cuppa tea ready for me. I do have tea/coffee outside though, and genreally it's about three cups a day. The rouutine varies generally for the middle cup, one in the morn and one in the early evening/late afternoon is the norm for me.

My husband has his coffee scheduled to brew around 5:00 am since he leaves around 5:30. He drinks a cup before he leaves and fills his thermos up. I make a pot and drink it periodically throughout the day. Caffeine doesn't bother me so I can drink it clear up til I go to bed and still go right to sleep.

I always have a cup of tea in the mornings but I try to limit my coffee intake. I developed a habit in work of drinking one or two cups per day and then I started wanting to drink coffee at weekends also. Caffeine is a hard habit to break. But latte is soooo nice!

Yes my morning routine starts off normally with a cup of coffe or tea depending on how we are feeling, and it all depends on the weather as well as lately it has been too hot but I do love to start my morning off to a good start with a cup of coffee, and yes as soon as I enter the kitchen then I will put on the kettle I normally only drink one cuppa but that is due to the cup is not a normal size it is very big my cup of coffee. In summer I normally only have the one cuppa but during winter is a different matter where I will change my beverage around and have a latte, or mocha all different and I will drink these until it is bed time.

I think that's why I love Chai so much..in the winter I drink it piping hot with lots of fresh ginger, clove and pepper...and in the summer I can ice it and spice it a little lighter...but I have to hold it to one cup a day..too much caffeine keeps me awake!!! ( and I need my beauty rest!! LOL)

My caffeine intake for the day is Pepsi as I don't drink tea or coffee . I have to have a drink as soon as I wake up in the morning and then I sip it all day long . Wish I could get out of this habit as I am ruining my teeth .
