    Jokes aside, what do you prefer to add, or leave out, when it comes to the perfect cuppa?

    I take my coffee with two sugars and lots of milk. If there's no coffee, I drink regular tea with two sugars and lots of milk, or rooibos tea with a spoonful of honey, no milk.

    Hot black tea with a little bit of semi-skimmed milk :grin:

    Maybe worth noting I spin the teabag and squash it against the side of the cup

    8 regular sized cups per day I'd guess

    I voted black and bitter, but I tend to drink green teas more than black teas, so I wouldn't say this applies. I don't typically add any sweeteners or milk.

    1) How do you take your coffee and/or tea?
    Black, although generally not bitter. Unless it's matcha, which I prefer bitter, and occassionally jasmine.

    2) Do you only drink certain types of coffee/tea?
    I'm allergic to coffee, so obviously I don't drink it. I also really dislike rooibos, but I love all other teas.

    3) How many cups of coffee/tea, on average, do you drink per day?

    Usually only 1, maybe 2 depending on my class schedule.

    1) How do you take your coffee and/or tea?
    Black, with two sugars. I take tea and coffee the same way. I think milk makes it really heavy, which I dislike.

    2) Do you only drink certain types of coffee/tea?
    I'm happy with literally any type of tea/coffee except for fruit teas that are supposed to be taken hot. I hate that. It's disgusting. But I'm fine with anything else. I found this particular oolong tea that's really nice, tho, even if I can't remember the name.

    3) How many cups of coffee/tea, on average, do you drink per day?
    None. I drink it just about over ten times per year. Basically, I'm really sensitive to caffeine, and the two times I've drank coffee in school, coming down from the caffeine high triggered my anxiety and depression so much. So I never drink coffee unless I really really need to.

    1) Black tea, iced. Don't really drink coffee. I live in the south and would usually drink it iced and sweet, but I've cut back on the sugar. If going out to eat I'll order it "half-n-half."

    2) Black tea, only, usually. I've been drinking decaf black tea recently since the caffeine was affecting my sleeping habits (see #3).

    3) About 1 gallon per day.

    Recently I've been receiving pumpkin spice lattes from a friend so, that's usually my daily caffeine intake, but sometimes I'll have a hefty mug of strong coffee with some caramel flavored coffee cream, and if it's a tea day, I've been drinking this jasmine green tea, up to 5~6 cups a day, nothing added. Normally I drink spiced chai with a little bit of the aforementioned coffee cream, but I'm out of chai rn so green tea it is :grin:

    1) Coffee with sugar and creamer; tea with sugar, but how much sugar depends on the tea; for instance, Earl Grey with hardly any sugar because too much absolutely murders the flavor.

    2) My coffee, I prefer dark. My tea, it depends on the occasion, but I'm partial to (as mentioned) Earl Grey, Oolong, mint (but not peppermint), and cinnamon tea, which I'm partial to mixing with a bit of milk and a shot of Fireball whiskey to add a nice kick.

    3) Coffee, I go through a pot in the morning. Tea, it depends on the day.

    Coffee is not my cup of tea. :wink:

    I usually go without sugar, but I may add a stevia leaf if I'm craving something particularly sweet. My favourites are daisy, jasmine, and black mint tea. There are a few traditional Chinese teas my family brews, and I don't know their names, but I love those too. The only tea I absolutely despise is Earl Grey.

    Haven't had the time to make some lately, unfortunately. Usually I have a cup in the morning.

    Coffee! <3 I don't like tea. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    To answer your questions:

    1) I drink my coffee black
    2) I'm not that picky when it comes to my coffee, though I'd rather not have sugar in it. =]
    3) It really depends on the day actually, and the strongness of the coffee. I don't drink my coffee that strong. =] I usually drink 4, but I may end up drinking 12 if I feel like it.

    I drink coffee with just creamer unless I'm at a restaurant I do add sweetnol. I only drink tea when I'm sick and I usually just add honey to it.

    Exactly the same!

    I hate it when I see someone used their fingers to squeeze the tea bag. If they make mine like that then I'll either leave it to go cold or chuck it down the sink. Filth.

    ---------- Post added 23rd Nov 2016 at 12:02 PM ----------

    And I'll drink roughly 5 teas and 3 coffees per day.

    I only drink certain tea. Mostly fruit, but I don't like all of them.
    Interestingly, I cant stand coffee, but I love the smell of it... Strange...

    3) How many cups of coffee/tea, on average, do you drink per day?
    Winter: 2 cups of tea
    Summer: about 1 cup of tea every week

    And also every time I feel like drinking tea I have a cup of tea ^^

    Tea with nothing in it, and coffee with a teaspoon of agave nectar, and rarely a small amount of almond milk

    Tea with milk, no sugar. Make sure the milk goes in the teacup before the tea: tastes better that way. I'm not a fan of coffee.

    I'm no tea connoisseur, so a basic, working-class cuppa will do me.

    I only drink tea occasionally, usually if I'm round my grandparents' house or feeling patriotic. Too much makes me feel unwell.

    No coffee. Tea w/ sugar.

    2) Do you only drink certain types of coffee/tea?
    I don't like all tea. Germans, for example, should not be allowed to make tea, it's horrible, no matter which one you buy.

    3) How many cups of coffee/tea, on average, do you drink per day?
    It's better to ask how much tea I drink per month - about two or three cups/month. Not a big fan.

    I don't like either. One is a warm, leafy water and the other is a mug of bitterness.

    1) How do you take your coffee and/or tea?

    Coffee: Pretty much any way. Black, with milk and sugar, flavored, double shot latte, etc...I love all kinds of coffee.

    Tea: Usually with honey and lemon, but it also depends on the tea.

    2) Do you only drink certain types of coffee/tea?

    All kinds of coffee. Tea, I'm a little pickier about but I'm willing to try just about any kind. I WILL NOT drink earl grey though. Gross.

    3) How many cups of coffee/tea, on average, do you drink per day?

    I used to drink about an entire pot of coffee a day (See also: Office worker). However, these days I have cut way back on my habit. I'm down to only a couple cups a week now. Tea is not nearly so frequent. I haven't had tea in quite some time.
