both -- tea (earl grey) and coffee. Coffee in the morning, tea in the afternoon and evening (coffee bothers my stomach in the p.m. for some reason).

Tea, Rooibos.
I drink coffee now and then, always in the mornings, but most of the time it's tea. Actually I just finished a cup.

Coffeeeee...

I've tried tea, but it took me long enough to get used to coffee. I'm told that tea is on the uprise in the States though.

If I'm parched and there's nothing else around, then iced tea. Otherwise, I can't stand coffee and I'd rather have a Diet Coke, Pepsi or Dr. Pepper.

Be advised that this is a public poll: other users can see the choice(s) you selected.

Both. I drink a large mug of black coffee in the morning. On the way to work I drink green tea with honey, although I recently bought some Earl Gray and it's not bad. At night I usually drink decaffeinated green tea with honey.

Tea. Something floral and not roasted. Maybe a jasmine, chrysanthemum or even a rose tea.

I drink green tea occasionally.

Coffee tastes like donkey balls…er…not that I know what that tastes like…
Being in debt and celebrating a lower deficit is like being on a diet and celebrating the fact you gained two pounds this week instead of five.

I was a coffee regular until I moved to the UK. It's amazing that you can go to a pretty expensive restaurant and be served instant coffee over here. Anyway, you can get good coffee, but the risk of swill is so high I started ordering tea by default and have found myself converted. I still coffee once or twice a month, but tea almost daily.

What restaurant serves instant coffee?
I find that hard to believe...

Either you haven't been to the UK or it's really just so unfathomable. I know I would not have believed it before I came over. I was shocked myself to be paying the equivalent of $50 a person and have undissolved coffee flakes floating in my cup. The first time I know this happened was in a "gastro" pub between Reading and Newbury- the food service and atmosphere were pretty good, but they were ok with instant coffee. I remember ordering a Latte someplace and watching them put foamed milk from some odd machine into a cup of instant coffee.

As I said, it's not impossible to get decent coffee over here, but most people are just fine with instant. I don't know anyone that has a filtered coffee maker at home- although a few have a cafetière (or french press) they will use for dinner parties or special occasions. It is, however, pretty likely that a cup of coffee you are served will be bad and or instant, whereas tea is almost always safe. So I started drinking tea out of necessity and ended up developing a taste for it.

I used to drink exclusively tea (well, not exclusively, but you know what I mean), specifically English Breakfast (I particularly like Twinning's) in the mornings and usually some form of green tea otherwise (I'm a big fan of special gunpowder). Now I still drink the occasional tea, but I have coffee nearly every day. The difference is that I now live with a coffee drinker (and had to learn how to make her coffee so figured I may as well just make it for myself as well).

I only occasionally drink tea (usually something conventional like Earl Gray, but without milk or sugar). I drink coffee all the time.
