Coffee or Tea? ☕️ 🍵

[DarkRange55]

And what type is your favorite?

 

[sserafim]

Coffee > tea but I also like tea as well. My favorite is iced lattes. I also like iced blonde vanilla latte, PSL, caramel macchiato, iced brown sugar shaken espresso, iced gingerbread latte, iced toffee nut latte, iced white chocolate mocha, etc. My favorite tea is earl grey (with milk) but I also like other kinds of black milk tea (like Assam, etc), as well as iced matcha lattes and iced chai lattes. Wbu?

Black coffee with collagen in it. The collagen helps my joints so much. Black because milk upsets my stomach and I don't feel like putting any sugar or sweetener in a black coffee.

gingerbread lattes are good. Cappuccino or Vietnamese iced coffee is probably my favorite coffee, then an iced latte.
My favorite tea is high-mountain oolong, subtle and floral.
Do you like oolong? I recently tried this and I love it. I normally prefer loose leaf rather than bagged but this is really good. It's South African.

Oh I forgot to mention that I like Vietnamese iced coffee as well. I also like Thai iced tea and bubble tea. I've tried oolong before, but I prefer black tea (with milk ofc). I'm more of a black tea kind of person, the stronger the better (it has to have milk in it though). I guess I'm just a milk tea person lol

probably a normie take, but for me all coffee types tastes absolutely the same, still like them tho

Thai iced lime tea is also really good (when done correctly) but I like thai iced tea, too. I really like eggnog lattes, too.

Nice, I hadn't tried or heard of thai iced lime tea. I'll see if I can try it one day. Oh cool, eggnog lattes. Personally I'm not an eggnog person but I think most ppl like it

I like both, especially an iced coffee in the summer. If you like iced coffee, get good beans, a moka pot, grind them fresh, and your coffee additives of choice(I like sweetened condensed milk+whole milk when I do this), and fill the cocktail shaker with ice(get a large sized one for this), and it makes really frothy iced coffee. You can do this many ways like frothing milk or whatever but I just had a cocktail shaker and thought "let me shake up iced coffee" and it's nice that way.

Tea... is another story. It's kind of my daily driver for many years now, mostly Chinese tea(some JP/TW too) brewed gongfu style

Other days just call for a supermarket tea when I'm too lazy to clean teaware or think about brewing. Sipping on hojicha as I write this post

Love moka pots

Fresh Southern sweet tea and iced tea is good, too, especially with a slice of peach.

 

[Argo]

Love moka pots

Yeah, the dream is a proper espresso machine to get to play barista-at-home with, but those are insanely expensive. Moka pots give such a high quality drink for their price, it's hard to beat the value

Yeah, Southern sweet tea is good. I've had it before, It didn't have peach slices in it though :( I've got to try that someday. Moroccan mint tea and Arabic tea are really good as well, they're super sweet and refreshing. Wait I just thought of something. I also like limonana, I had it in Saudi Arabia during the summer. It's a frozen mint lemonade. Unfortunately, there's no caffeine in it though

I've had experience with espresso machines that are cheap and ones that are commercial-grade like $40k. And the ones that are commercial-grade aren't really "better," like a higher-quality coffee. Just more functions, more stations and mainly the production volume - way more quantities come out a lot faster. But yes, some of the nicer home units can be quite pricey.
Probably YouTube's by far, #1 coffee enthusiast and nut ️



He even has a video running computer analysis in a lab on a $500,000 grinder vs a $500 one vs a $50 one.

Spiced licorice tea is also really good

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

I prefer tea, specifically oolong tea. Nowadays anytime I go to a boba place I always opt for just getting plain oolong tea unsweetened and with no toppings.

 

[Praestat_Mori]

I always prefer tea. I never liked coffee that much. Any kind of teas is fine. Mostly I drink black or green tea.

 

[struggles_inc]

I know it's bad for me but damn I like those caramel lattes and whatnot.

 

[falling_snow]

i dont like coffee, the smallest drop or taste of coffee touching my tongue makes my whole body want to puke. idk, im very sensible to bitter tastes.
but i can take very specific types of tea with a lot of sugar.

 

[1sadtran]

oolong tea with sugar or a smooth green tea
most grocery stores always only sell green or black tea tho
used to think coffee was ok but dont really like it anymore

 

[HereTomorrow]

Tea all the way.

I love unsweetened teas, particularly jasmine. Hibiscus helps me sleep and borderline using it as a sedative for the hard days.

 

[Slow_Farewell]

Black instant coffee.
It's the efficiency of it that appeals to me.

Have you tried caffeine pills?

 

[sserafim]

Oh I forgot to mention that I also consume caffeine in the form of dark chocolate. It has caffeine as well right

I know it's bad for me but damn I like those caramel lattes and whatnot.

I used to like them too but then they got too sweet for me

 

[Slow_Farewell]

Have you tried caffeine pills?

I havent, though i really really would like to try some.
it's not something that I see in the supermarket here in the Philippines and i havent seen ads for it as well.
Curious about it though.
Have you tried it? can you recommend a brand?

 

[Pol]

[MyChoiceAlone]

whichever tastes better with whiskey. trying to avoid caffeine.
