How do you take your tea or coffee?

How do you take your tea or coffee?
Orally.
With another half-litre chaser.
Right in the face
Coffee black if I'm making it at home with my fancy stuff. Otherwise I'll put cream and sugar in it. I usually drink tea without anything in it.
Drink both strong and black. No sugar. Tea must be hot, coffee can be iced, but only in summer.
Only badass and above is acceptable :)
I passionately agree with you. All others are an insult to the King
Let me introduce you to puerh. It’s way darker than normal tea, but it won’t taste bitter unless you make it as black as coffee.
Or you can go for Liubao which doesn't get bitter no matter how strong you make it or how long you boil it. Or there's Hunan's Anhua Gold Flower Black Tea that's like a pu'er with more umami in the aftertaste.
Guess I'm a Northerner then
Tea: No sugar, no milk, no water, and no tea. Cup optional. (I don't drink tea)
Coffee: Regular black is fine. Sometimes I'll order a cappuccino with two sugars, but it's rare.
Tea: small amount of milk, strong AF. Coffee: black, 2 sweetners
Yorkshire Gold, two sugars, small splash of evaporated milk.
I'm mostly a tea gal but if I'm doing coffee, it's typically an oat milk cortado with a touch of brown sugar.
Yorkshire gold? You're my kind of woman
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.
Tea, small amount of milk, needs to be well brewed and strong. Coffee, preferably weak as F with as much milk as possible to overpower the coffee (i'm not a fan) :)
No sugar no sweeteners in either.
Tea prioritsed over coffee.
Masala chai with as much sugar as can be dissolved into the water. 4 spoonfuls for a large teacup, 3 for a normal size teacup.
Sometimes a splash of milk.
Coffee - Milked the fuck up with loads of sugar and chocolate.
Tea - Milked the fuck up with tons of sugar.
I basically want chocolate milk/hot chocolate flavored wuth coffee.
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
Drip I take with no sweetener, espresso I'll generally sweeten a little
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.
At home, the plain black Mokkamaster does the trick, some times with a little vanilla or hazelnut to change it up between cups. At work, a double espresso with a ristretto and some water, so basically a strong americano for every cup through the day.
Strong and milky, like my women.
Tea: lemon and honey.
Coffee: sugar and cream.
Coffee: Like I take my men: strong, black, and hot. (OK, OK, I know, old joke. Strong, hot, no milk, no sugar.) Tea: strong, hot, no milk, no sugar.
I also rarely, if ever, drink mass-market versions of either; essentially only if I'm forced to. I get my coffees and teas directly from estates and sometimes individual farms when I can wrangle it.
Tea: depending on the type of tea. Some really good teas I can drink without sugar, but the stuff from the supermarket? Yeah, add 1 or 2 lumps of sugar for me, please. And some brands of teas I just completely skip (No thank you to Aldi thee, Jumbo huismerk thee, LaPlace thee and Lipton thee)
Coffee: I prefer cappuccino. I need some milk or milk-substitute in my coffee, otherwise it's too bitter.
There's a little trick you can do that will improve even crud like Tetley's or Red Rose or their ilk into something approaching drinkability.
Wash the tea.
Put in the bag (the real crud's ALWAYS in a bag!). Pour scalding hot water on top. Swish it around a few seconds. Throw it (the liquor) away. Then brew as normal. It won't be great tea by any means, but it will be drinkable, if only just.
I'll try this some time. Thanks for the tip.
Dark roast, half a packet of sugar, a lil bit of milk
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.
Hot coffee, Cafe con leche unsweetened or barely sweet (espresso with lots of milk)
Cold coffee, cold brew on ice with a little milk and pretty sweet
Hot black tea with a little milk, or spiced chai with milk and sugar
Cold black tea just ice or mixed with lemonade
Hot green tea nothing just tea
Cold green tea with nothing but ice
Working on weaning out caffeine. My current coffee blend is mostly decaf with a few beans thrown in from my last caffeinated batch, ground myself and cold brewed for 13-16 hours, taken just with a splash of half and half cream and no sweetener.
I drink it?
A while back a freind regifted me a coffee frother she had never used.
I put the milk in the microwave for 30 seconds and froth it. I like to add it on top after pouring the coffee.
With coffee, i usually have it with a teaspoon of sugar in a big mug, but sometimes i add some sweetened condensed instead of sugar. Same for black tea and chrysanthemum. For chamomile and oolong, i have it without adding anything, since i usually take chamomile at night and treat it as a flavored water. For oolong the taste is strong enough as it is.
Coffee is a delivery system for cream and sugar.
Coffee: decaf, no milk, no sugar sometimes honey
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).
Tea: ginger and honey
Coffee: oat milk and brown sugar I love coffee in the morning so much that even preparing the boiler and filter gets me kickstarted haha.
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.
With tea I normally stick to green teas, mint or lemon, sometimes a little sugar just for a bit of sweetness. More something to help me relax.
Coffee depends. If I'm making it myself, it's coming out as road tar and gets a couple spoonfuls of sugar. If I'm out ordering at a cafe or something, I normally grab a hot Mocha.
Coffee: black. Iced or hot depends upon the season. For hot, about 42c is perfect for me.
Tea I rarely drink. Green tea is also as-is hot or cold. Black tea probably the same, though I grew up with sweet tea for iced tea and a bit of sugar in the hot.
I don’t.
If my coffee doesnt taste like dessert then i don't want it. Why bother? I'll just drink water instead.
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.
I approve of your high standards
That's just the way I'll do it for myself though, no need to impose that on anyone else lol. If you're making, it's just two coffees, two sugars and milk, thanks.
Tea lots of sugar, more sugar than tea probably, coffee just large amounts of espresso without milk or sugar
Tea: no sugar, no milk
Coffee: sugar and milk
Tea: strongish, sometimes milk. Coffee: strong with milk, occasionally add a tsp. or so of honey or maple.
