I once did a 27 hour job on an oil rig that had the drill pipe stuck.Started work at 3 AM and finished at 6 AM next day.How did I do it?About 30 cups of COFFEE!!Tea just doesn't cut the mustard in messed up situations like that.

Where is the 'neither option'?

Good thread... coffee all the way for me. Two strong ones before I go out to take a class and its go go go (I just finished my first for the day)

For me it's coffee. Have expresso machine, The real old style Italian model and my own blend of beans. Six dark Columbian to one vanilla beans. Ground just before using. Milk and no sugar. Just finishing my morning heart starter and then off to the workshop.

Interesting to note the difference in replies from the neurotic coffee drinkers to the calm tea drinkers , but havig said that, I like nice coffee and drink instant all day at work and have no urge to wax lyrical about it.

I prefer tea of colour. I drink Green or red or white or black.

i can remember going to a coffee importers back in the City of London many years ago and attended a coffee tasting with the expert buyers. I knew nothing and so asked questions. "Taste them in any order you like except for the end two", I was told. "We judge first on the size of the bean, the bigger the better . The end one is for the Algerian market and they have a strange taste in coffee. The other one is a small green bean called imparchimento, because it has a sort of dry skin adhering to it. It's an inferior bean used in the instant trade." I remember the Algerian coffee. To me it tasted like a mixture of boot polish and brasso.
So taste, whether it be tea or coffee, is very personal.

I have a cup of tea once every 5 years just to prove to myself that I still intensely dislike it, so coffee for me.


Ofcourse the exception is real chinese tea served in chinese reataurants whilst eating chinese food for that is a different taste altogether.

Bah! If I want relaxing and calm I'll drink a nice glass of red...

If I want something that tastes good and is thoroughly addictive, then coffee all the way

A good strong coffee - and by good I do not mean anything that's sold as "Instant."

I used to enjoy black tea... but I was cured of that (in the workshop at least) when I accidentally picked up a mug of thinners I'd earlier cleaned my finishing brush in.

As an ex shift worker.... Coffee at all times and normally quite a few.

But when feeling crook.... a tea and then when feeling better.... back to coffee. Oh and when its past 5 its the juice of the vine!!!!
