Food, Drink & Dining Out Food Battles- Coffee V Tea

[DrVanNostrand]

I actually don't think I've ever had tea in my life

Big coffee drinker from about 15-16.

Coffee, though I like a cup of green tea with lemon juice before bed. I don't drink black tea.

 

[PunyHumans!!!]

Coffee for me...have one of those Nespresso machines at home that I never seem to have any capsules for (I use them up pretty quickly). Like my cappuccinos, generally take away and I get get annoyed when I find the froth and chocolate dissipate too quickly. First world problems...

both

Tea first thing in the morning - roibos and gingseng
coffee about 10am
lemon and ginger tea in the afternoon
maybe a camomilse before bed - unless i make myself a hot chocolate from hazelnut milk - mmmm

Coffee and TV, easily

Never been a fan of tea, does nothing for me.

Great song, great film clip too. Graham Coxon is vastly underrated.

Yeah it's a quality song and video.



I prefer Blur's later 90s/early 2000s stuff to their Britpop stuff.

I'm a big fan of Damon Albarn's work with Gorillaz too but I digress.

COFFEE!!!!

 

[Brad Goodman]

Hot tip, the 80c coffee at Coles Express is definitely not fives times worse than the one you pay $4 for at the cafe next door.

Steer clear of McDonalds or 7-11 though.

 

[Upgrayedd]

Tea. However w***ers who talk about tea can be 10 times more annoying then tossers banging on about coffee

 

[Catfish Alley]

You think? I actually like McCafe. 7-11, Subway or any service station is terrible though.

 

[Ed_Gein]

Coffee tastes horrible.

Tea all the way, love it. I go through phases of having 5 or 6 cups a day for a few months, then i can end up going 6 months without having any.

Yuk!

I always wondered who would have their coffee there.

Haha, fair enough. Maybe it's better here. Starbucks is all over the place here and I prefer McDonald's. That said, I miss my little local place in Melbourne.

McCafe coffee is actually okay when eating in. I find the takeaways are given less love lol.

So the gist of this thread is that coffee has the advantage basically because most of us treat tea as more of a luxury, and coffee as something more habitual.

On Blur, Think Tank happens to be my favourite album from them for some reason. I find a lot of band break-up albums do it for me actually (Slowdive - Pygmalion is another).

I find when I have a few days off work to dig into a good book, I go through the 5-6. Usually though, it's just a boredom but not hungry pre-sleep relaxation drink for me, or late-night study support.

7-11 coffee is OK, it's just made by the robot barista. Probably better than the bearded hipster who serves you coffee, and friendlier too.

I drank tea until the age of 38, and have since discovered I quite like coffee. I usually drink ALDI coffee - 1kg beans is $12.99, gotta love those numbers.

I make about 1 litre of strong coffee at 7.10am and aim to have it drunk by 8.10am. I'm a primary school teacher so I have to remember to have a piss by 8.50am, it's agony having to hang on till play lunch with a full bladder.

I still drink tea in the evening. My parents are coming out from Ireland next week so I'm getting them to bring some proper tea with them - Aussie tea is mostly too weak.
