When you first get up do you drink coffee to wake you up? I have a couple of cups of coffee when we are going somewhere but when we are staying home I will drink a pot of coffee by myself. Not a good thing to do but I like coffee. I have friends that have tea like I have coffee. Hot tea is good I like it too but if I have a choice I would prefer coffee. Our expresso machine die so we can't have expresso lately. I I could have expresso I would rather have it. I can only drink a few cups of it. It makes me go faster. So my question to you is do you drink coffee? What kinds of coffee do you drink ? Do you drink expresso? Or are you a hot tea kind of person? What is your favorite hot tea expresso or coffee?

Hi~In my country,China,Tea is an inevitable part of our daily life.It's a kind of attitude toward life.Though there are lots of coffee bars mushrooming in my city recent years,We all prefer to tea than coffee.and what's more the caffeine in the coffee is not good for your health.Black tea is my favourite

I used to drink 2-3 cups of coffee (hot or cold) when I was a student. Keeps me alert and awake when I had to study for an exam. But nowadays I limit myself to just a cup every other day atleast because I started feeling caffeine side effects which includes having a faster than normal heartbeat and I urinate a lot. Also, now that I'm working, I feel like I need more sleep than ever, to rest my mind from my workloads, so I definitely would have to cut down my caffeine intake. :D

When I first get up I drink water. I try to avoid drinking coffee, though it has many benefits. I was addicted coffee before and it affected my ability in taking pictures, my hands were shaking. Anyway I like both tea and coffee. The things that I like most about them is the scent of them. Any kind of tea will do as long as the smell is so good. For the coffee, now 3in1 nescafe.

Hi Hubfee. I love the smell of a freshly brewed pot of coffee. Tea just don't smell as good to me. But I do love a cup of hot tea once in a blue moom. Too bad the coffee effected you this way. Don't do me that way and I drink it all day and late into the evening.

Funny thing is I love the smell of coffee but not the taste. I don't think all teas smell herbal though. I love black tea and green tea they are my favorites.

Hi free_man
Well good discussion very interesting thing is that I don't drink either tea or
coffee, I wake up early in the morning and I get into the work start preparing
breakfast. Either in the morning or in the night before going to bed I take a glass
of milk. From my childhood I did not have coffee or tea, but I prepare tea/coffee
for my husband. So I don't have any favorites hot tea or coffee. Have a nice day.

If you can keep awake tiptop without relying on caffeine, all the more better!

I prefer hot tea or hot chocolate rather than coffee. I am not really a coffee person, something about the after taste of coffee that I do not like. I like the smell of coffee though, it helps perk me up so I still like hanging out in coffee shop even though I only buy their non-coffee selections

Hi Silverglint. I love the smell of fresh coffee too. Never really got into drinking much hot chocolate like you it is the after taste of things that make me not want to taste them. Even though I have had false teeth for some years now I still have to brush my teeth after I eat or drink anything I can't stand it when my mouth don't taste fresh.

I drink tea. Although I love the aroma of coffee, I was never a coffee drinker and I don't need anything to wake me up in the morning! As for tea, I usually drink Chinese or Japanese tea, but only when I'm in the restaurant. I've stopped drinking soda, so it's either water or tea for me. I don't ordinarily drink tea though. Just a week ago, my friend offered me some peppermint tea and it was awesome.

Hi Doormouse. I don't think I would drink too much coffee either if I was you. It has no affects on me other then giving me a little boost in the morning. Never cramps me up or makes me sick. I love the smell of coffee brewing especially early in the morning.

______Sky____ and welcome to my lot. I like coffee cause it gives me a boost in the morning when I need it and in the evening when I drink it makes me feel relaxed. I can't stand decaf it just don't give me the boost I need in the morning. And the smell of the coffee brewing in the morning I love it. Better if you would drink more milk it is good for you and your bones. Stay healthy drink more milk! God bless you and yours too!

Hi Duanledechang and welcome to my lot. I'm heavy but used to be real fat I used to drink tea but it never helped me lose weight and I do drink a lot of coffee but never helped me lose weight. The only thing that helped me lose weight was special K cereal and walking 3 miles a day. I still drink a lot of coffee but not to lose weight I drink it cause I like the taste of it. And the smell just perks my nose up when I smell that coffee brewing in the morning.

Hi Hemantbatra and welcome to my lot. Actually I like both but prefer coffee when I am trying to wake up. Tea is better to wake a person up though it has more caffeine in it then coffee or that is what I think. But I can't stand the taste of it when it is cool can drink a cup of coffee that has cooled off but would have to heat the tea back up if it cools down. Now in the evening with the evening meal I will have a glass of sun tea.

I dont know if it is a good thing yet but I would not be okay without my coffee every morning. I get up grab my coffee after my shower and I am ready to tackle the world. My doctor tells me to cut back on the amount of coffee I drink for weight loss reasons, however I really cant do that so I just cut back on the amount of sugar I use and switched to low fat cream to make it better.

I actually like both but I am more of a tea drinker..I have diabetes and drinking coffee with sugar isn't good for me.. Drinking tea has many health benefits and it is believed to prevent cancer, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Apart from cancer, it also helps to normalize blood pressure. I'm drinking jasmine and green tea. green tea has antioxidants that have anti-mutagenic, anti-carcinogenic and anti-tumoric properties.. see, health benefits are many so consider drinking tea as part of your healthy lifestyle.

Hi Dilipmiester and welcome to my lot. It is better to not drink either of them if you don't drink them don't start they are something you can get hooked on and not want to put down. I do love my coffee more then a cup of tea. But a cup of hot tea is better then nothing at all.....LOL

I actually prefer both but coffee in the mornings for sure.
Have you seen McDonalds commercial with the guy going for his coffee?
That is me for sure..
I like tea in the evening but, like you, I could drink a pot in the morning easy.

Hi TakeAction and welcome to my lot. Oh yes seen that commercial several thousand times. We drink coffee all day long but this is only during the winter. Summer time and warm weather days we only have coffee in the morning. My husband is an iced tea drinker during the warmer months of the year. We don't drink a lot of tea during the winter months.
