Hello friends, I have seen some of my friends takes coffee with some biscuits or snacks and somefriends takes coffee along with their breakfast. But I will take just coffee in the morning as soon as I finished brushing of teeth and in the evening I will take coffee with some snacks or biscuits. What about you? How do you like to take coffe/tea? Plain or with something? Please share with me your views

Hello professor bhuwan Are you taking medicines for sugar? Compared to coffee, tea is somewhat OK but still tea is also not good for health. For sugar, pranayam and yoga are there to cure it completely and herbal medicines are also there. Kindly look into that matter and I am sure you will be free of diabetics. Before going to bed,if you take coffee, can you able to sleep as I heard that taking coffee or tea before going to bed, will make us aware for some time and that is why during the exams, students will take tea to keep themselves aware and study at night

Hi Vathsala, In the office we used to have coffee with bread. but most of the time a cup of coffee is enough for us to be up. as much as possible we refrain from eating much during break because we will again be eating by during lunch time. coffee is fine with me.

Hi fransisco Coffee with bread is filling. Instead of plain bread, if we roast it in ghee and then dip in the coffee , the taste is superb. Indeed just plain coffee is also enough to make us refreshed to start our day. Anyway we are taking lunch, it is better to refrain from eating much during break and you are doing it right

Lol! I too long to discipline myself regarding my weight control which is increasing day by day because of my irregular food habits, and temptation towards icecreams, sweets and pastries. But I am unable to control my temptation and taste pangs my friend.From Now onwards you are my motivation and role model to control my weight gain and disciplined life friend

I am a coffee addict. Morning after brushing teeth, I will have 3/4th cup of coffee. Then I will make coffee for my family members after half-an-hour and I too will have half cup of coffee. Then after one hour, my husband will have his second dose of coffee and as usual I too will have half cup. In the mean time if any visitors come home and coffee is served to them, then I will have my quota of 1/4th cup. Again in the afternoon 3/4th cup and at 6.30 PM, another half cup of coffee is my requirement. I usually never take tea. Just to reduce my coffee intake, I reduced the quantity but timings continue.

Hi raj I am doing pedicure every alternate day and daily applying Himalaya Foot Care Cream but getting relief only temporarily. Besides we are not supposed to wear slippers at home. So every day is a miserable day for me. Unable to keep my stride properly I am almost limping daily. Added to that since one week I am suffering from corn too in the feet

Hi dear, Usually I don’t drink coffee and I prefer to drink tea. In morning I too drink the tea as plain and most of the time I am busy in kitchen and drinking my tea in between work. In the evening I drink tea in office and normally there won’t be anything with tea. (Sometimes I am getting something to eat with tea in office). But on holidays, evening time I may have some snacks with tea.

Hi Sree Tea is better than coffee and so I think most of the people prefer to take Tea rather than Coffee. Try some biscuits with tea. It is lovely and feel like eating more. Have a great day my friend

Hi, vathsala30. I usually will have my coffee by itself. And when I will have a craving, I will just have a snack that is sweet with it. I remember having a slice of cake last month with some coffee. It was delicious.

Hi cream dear How are you my friend? Yes I too have tasted a slice of cake with some coffee. It is very delicious. I also like to have ghee roasted bread slice dipped in coffee for a change and sometimes, I will dip biscuits in some coffee and eat it but generally I will have plain coffee as it is which is my all time favourite

I'm not much of a breakfast person. I'll take my coffee with some international delight creamer and thats it. No sugar needed because the creamer is usually sweet enough on its own.

Hi cupkitties What is international delight creamer? I never heard about it nor remembered to have seen it? Will it look like an icecream? (please don't laugh about my ignorance)

I like to have plain balck coffee in the morning. I usually don't prefer to have biscuits or snacks with coffee. If I have, it will do for my breakfast. Having biscuits is not good for health. I usually prefer to have a heavy breakfast. My husband likes to have cookies with breakfast. He is very fond of coffee. He has a favorite cafe from which he takes coffee, daily. They give him a small free cookie with the coffee.

Hi daliaj How are you my friend? I have tasted black coffee once with little sugar. my husband takes lime tea and he likes it. Just squeezing little lime in a cup of black tea and add little sugar. But I like coffee with little milk and sugar. some times I take biscuits or dip bread slice in it if I am hungry otherwise plain coffee will do. You are right. Taking biscuits everyday with coffee is not at all good for health.

Hi bewitched Now a days I have reduced my coffee intake due to health conditions. Generally I do not like tea but sometimes I will take it. Coz, if we go to someone's house, and if they offer tea, we can not say that I do not want it, I do not take it. So In those circumstances, I will take tea. But coffee especially filter coffee is my altime favourite. Happy mylotting. Have a nice day. cheers my friend

Wah! Balooo! what a nice surprice! Where have you gone all these days? I thought you forgot us. Happy to see you back in Mylot. Generally South Indians like more coffee than Tea. But now a days some people due to health problems, started taking tea because it does less harm than coffee. I am happy to note that you will take bed coffee prepared by your dear wife and you both enjoy it sipping piping hot

Hi bina I liked your name dear. It is short,sweet and lovely and easy to remember. Wish my son too have a baby girl whose name is bina so that every day I will call her several times. Black tea is good for health. That is what I heard. My husband takes black tea with lime juice and say it is lime tea. I too love to take tea with some biscuits or snacks. But it may increase the calorie intake I am not taking like that

Hi dream Generally in the morning when we have the coffee in the empty stomach, normally we will not feel like taking anything or sometimes 2 or 3 slices of bread along with it. In the evenings either we take it plain or sometimes with biscuits or snacks.

I can drink coffee both ways - with or without food. In the morning, sometimes I'll drink it before breakfast to tide me over until I have time to eat since I eat breakfast at work. Sometimes I'll drink coffee with my breakfast because it tastes so good! At night, I would probably just drink coffee by itself. Sometimes in the afternoon, I get sleepy at work so I'll definitely drink a cup or two by itself to let the caffeine and sugar kick in to help me out - LOL. I find that when I drink caffeinated coffee with food, that meal always digest faster (because of the caffeine speeding up my metabolism, of course). Isn't that weird? I mean, it makes sense, but it's still kind of funny how that works. Thanks for asking and enjoy your coffee always!

Hi JJ4ever Coffee is tasty with or without snacks, biscuits or bread.It depends upon the individual likes and dislikes. When we were school going children, during the examinations, we will take tea to make ourselves awake to study for the exams. But still we sleep even after taking tea. So now it is time for me to sip my cup of my favourite coffee maker coffee. Bye. Cheers

If it's breakfast, I take coffee with my breakfast meal. But during the day if I want to have coffee, it's just plain black coffee. I enjoy drinking coffee while watching tv or listening to music or just sitting in the garden to while away the time.

Hi junrapmian Generally, ,most of the people will have coffee along with the breakfast and some people like me will have plain coffee in the morning immediately after brushing. Actually taking coffee in the empty stomach is not good and that is why doctors advice us to take 1 glass of plain water in the morning to clean our bowel movement. I do enjoy coffee by sipping it slowly with a news paper in hand or a magazine. Otherwise I will watch TV or simply sitting in our lawns I enjoy it

Hi shynepapin Just plain coffee will pep us up and give strength to start our day energetically. But a bite of biscuit along with it makes us feel still fresh

They say it is not good to drink coffee while your stomach is empty so I always eat something with it like pastries or sandwich

Hi wahman You are right. When we are in empty stomach, it is not good to have coffee. So, the doctors advice us to take one glass of plain water or luke warm water in the empty stomach in the morning immediately we gets up from the bed or after brushing the teeth. So I ask my children to take 3 or 4 slices of bread toast, rusk or biscuits along with coffee
