I tried iced tea once, but I didnt like it. I have to have my tea really hot. My husband would even drink his coffee cold. :-)

I am very much a coffee drinker. I would have around 5 to 6 cups of coffee each day. I usually drink Nescafe Expresso. As a special treat, I plunge Vittoria coffee.

My husband will only drink Maxwell House coffee. He loves when my best friend comes out because she is a big coffee drinker too. The kettle is never off!!! :-)

Oh there is nothing nicer than a beautiful cup of tea, my late dad used to make the best cuppa, I only allow myself one cup of coffee a day and that is the first cup I have in the morning, but a nice cup of tea is just so refreshing...

I drink a cup or two of coffee in the morning. I like one in the afternoon, but I do not always get to. I like tea just about any time, and any way, hot or cold. No sugar, no milk. I also like herbal teas a lot.

Our kettle is always on the boil. I spend most of my time in the kitchen so I would always have a cuppa to hand while I am cleaning or preparing dinner. For years my mother kept on telling me that I should drink more tea than soft drinks, she said I was costing her a fortune on soft drinks when I visited!! If only she could see me now!!! :-)

I like coffee very much especially the brewed one, it makes me active and alert. I feel sleepy all the time and I like the taste of coffee. I also like tea, the one that I bought a month ago is milk tea, and I really do like the taste.

My husband loves coffee and I buy him a very large jar each week. But myself, I cant even stand the smell of it. I have no problem making as I make it for my husband. But the odd thing is I love coffee flavoured sweets!! :-)

Ah a regular tea drinker like myself!!! I have never taken sugar in my tea though. My mother in law does, and I was making a cuppa a couple of weeks ago when she was here for a visit and I accidentally got mine and her tea mixed up. Well I heaved for nearly half an hour after it lol!!! Thanks for your reponse faith210. :-)

I am a coffee person... it might have something to do with where I live!! I used to drink 10-12 cups a day until my doctor told me she wanted me to cut back... I now drink 10-12 HALF-cups a day! I still have the caffeine spread out through the day, half a cup is enough, and my doctor isn't bugging me... a win/win situation for all!

I LOVE coffee too! I drink about a pot a day! I don't think that's too much because I share it with my hubby as he takes some with him to work!

The way I cut down was really easy on me... no withdrawel because I was still having some at the same times during the day. I tried cutting back by not drinking it as often and had terrible headaches! Its best to wean off slowly. It would work for coffee or tea... but no one can do it til they're ready! These things are pleasant and important parts of out lives!

My husband and my dad are the same. They drink so much coffee!!! My dad had to drastically cut down on his coffee because he was having so many mini strokes. I am always trying to get my husband to cut down too. Although I have heard that tea has more caffeine than coffee, so I am probably doing more harm myself than they are!! :-)

I drink both, though more tea than coffee. My partner is very good at making mine just right! I've even started drinking more green tea too.

Green Tea isn't herbal. It is the same as black tea, but picked at a different time. It is naturally sweeter and better for you. I believe the younger leaves are used..

I drink tea..
I used to love coffee but I have to stop drinking it a few years ago.
It's because I will have terrible headache if I drink coffee.
I have migraine and my doctor advise me to stop drinking coffee, and stop eating a lot of tasty food....

My father had to cut down drastically on his coffee too about 8 years ago. His doctor blamed a lot of coffee for the mini strokes that he was having. And I think he may have been right. he hasnt had a stroke now for nearly two years. :-)

I drink coffee especially mocha flavored coffee.
I have a trauma in drinking tea because my father advised me to drink one of his slimming tea (I'm fat in the PAST) and it tastes VERY BITTER and never tasted slimming teas EVER AGAIN but I do drink sweet tea.

It is a coffee. I don't like tea. Tea can make my tummy have a stomach ache. I love coffee and it is one of my favorite drink specially in the morning. I take a cup of coffee in the morning, even in the lunch time, merienda time or dinner time. I will take also a coffee when I feel something unexplain to my body and when I feel stress. For me coffee is my vitamin for my body.

Hi elemental,
I LOVE coffee! I can't start the day without it. To me it is the best part of my day. I hate tea, to me it just tastes wrong so I never drink it. If I am out of coffee (which has only happened once) and I want something hot to drink I'll have hot chocolate!
