  • Yerba mate: coarse milling, radioactive green. 75°C water. No sugar; sometimes I add some peppermint, but that's it.

    Coffee, homemade: black, no sugar. Neither too strong nor too weak, at least for local standards.

    Coffee, when going out: either cheap coffee with a small drop of milk, or a good espresso or machiato. In uni times I used to drink half-and-half, with cinnamon and brown sugar, but that's because my former uni's cafeteria's coffee was awful.

    I barely drink tea proper (Camelia sinensis), but I'm often drinking other teas - hibiscus, ginger, chamomile, peppermint.

  • Coffe: black.
    Tea: can be black or green, usually a loose leaf mixed tea from a tea house.

    Usually it's tea, typically about 1l / day, but whatever it is, it's with no milk or sugar.

  • Coffee: Typically Nathan Explosion style (blacker than the blackest black, times infinity), sometimes with a nip of whiskey if I'm having it to stay out late.

    Tea: either just water and leaves or one milk, no sugar, depending on my mood/the tea

  • Black coffee, medium to light roast.

    Tea with a touch of honey, maybe a bit of milk or cream depending on the flavor.

  • Med-light roast whole beans, freshly ground. Brewed via Aeropress. Add ~1/2 tsp Sweet 'N Low, no creamer. Maybe a dash of ceylon cinnamon or a few drops of vanilla or almond extract if the beans are boring.

  • I make concoctions. I like ginger tea with either ginger honey crystals or another Chai tea bag, a bit of creamer and sugar. I don't like coffee, but I was really into dunkachinos which I found out was just coffee and chocolate. So I do espresso and hot chocolate. I also put ginger in that. Fruit teas are sugar only.

  • Rarely drink tea, but when I do I don't add anything.

    My coffee I like with oat milk (just like the taste more than with regular milk).

  • With tea its usually a black or green tea. Black tea sometimes with a little bit of milk and green tea with some fresh lemon and ginger.

    I prepare my coffee with a Moka Pot and add hot milk(1:1) sometimes with foam. If i don't have the time or the necessary tools I'll just put 3 spoons of coffee in a cup, pour hot water over it, stir it and drink it black.

  • I don't drink either - or any other hot drinks. I have never liked them.

    There was a while when, every other year or so, in the depths of winter, I would get it into my head that my tastes might have changed and would accept someone's offer of something: tea, coffee, hot chocolate or whatever. But I'd always end up taking one sip and realise my folly.

    And, no, Iced tea or similar does nothing for me either.

  • Coffee: 2x teaspoons of coffee (3x if it's cheap coffee), 2x teaspoons of sugar, milk in first to avoid any burnt taste and to stir it up a bit before pouring, then stirring continuously while pouring. If it's filter coffee, I'm not particular about the order that the milk goes in.

    Tea: Also 2x teaspoons of sugar, milk in last after letting it draw for a little bit. And to also be unnecessarily specific here, I pour the hot water directly onto the tea bag and kinda slowly, seems to maximize draw. And if I'm not in a hurry, I let it get nice and strong before taking the tea bag out or if I'm in a hurry, I'll just leave the tea bag in.

    More of a coffee person than a tea person though.
