Sylvester Posted May 23, 2004 Posted May 23, 2004 I asked this over at Coinpeople and got a response i pretty much expected.What about here, do you prefer tea or coffee? (or other...) Quote
Emperor Oli Posted May 23, 2004 Posted May 23, 2004 Can you edit this to make it a poll, Sylvester? (with you mod abilities and all!)I'm a fairly heavy tea drinker, about six or seven cups of lapsang souchong a day although I do sometimes have keemun (Grandparents very into tea!). Quote
Chris Perkins Posted May 23, 2004 Posted May 23, 2004 I don't mind both, but I prefer a good cuppa. Unfortunately with lack of the right tea bags/milk/water and tea making knowledge it's not easy in Germany unless you import it and make your own. Quote

(with you mod abilities and all!)I'm a fairly heavy tea drinker, about six or seven cups of lapsang souchong a day although I do sometimes have keemun (Grandparents very into tea!). i don't moderate this part of the forum, it's Chris' territory.And i'm a chronic tea drinker... i have been known to demolish 12-20 cups on sundays, i've cut down alot lately, usually have 2 cups day. I had one so far today.Earl Grey ain't cheap you know... Coffee is alright but i've had about three so far this year. (which is more than i usually have). Quote
Half Penny Jon Posted May 23, 2004 Posted May 23, 2004 Im a tea man myself milk and two sugars, but I will have coffee is tea is not avaliable. Quote
Sylvester Posted May 23, 2004 Author Posted May 23, 2004 Now on the US group it was coffee all the way, except for me, makes a nice change to see i finally fit in!And mines tea; no milk, no sugar. Quote
Half Penny Jon Posted May 23, 2004 Posted May 23, 2004 I guess the US just dosen't have the taste for a good old English cuppa! Quote
Emperor Oli Posted May 23, 2004 Posted May 23, 2004 Mine's milk no sugar most days but black sometimes Quote
Sylvester Posted May 23, 2004 Author Posted May 23, 2004 i used to drink it white but then i started with it black on the odd occasion, developed a taste for it and before i knew it i'd stopped having milk altogether. I still have the odd one with milk. Quote
Half Penny Jon Posted May 23, 2004 Posted May 23, 2004 I have never had a cup of tea without milk! I must try it without milk sometime! Quote
Sylvester Posted May 23, 2004 Author Posted May 23, 2004 I have never had a cup of tea without milk! I must try it without milk sometime! you'll not like it,Well not at first... Quote
Chris Perkins Posted May 23, 2004 Posted May 23, 2004 Just to divulge a little, can I ask how you can possibly a Half Penny expert aged 15? Please don't think me rude, but real study to expert status in any given field takes a lot of time and learning. I appreciate you have a geniune interest and a wonderful growing collection, but I dont think you're quite up with Dr Nicolson yet.I probably know more about halfpennies than you, but I wouldn't even think about calling myself an expert, not for at least 20 years!Tone it down a bit old chap, or you'll end up getting invited for Mastermind or something. Quote
Sylvester Posted May 23, 2004 Author Posted May 23, 2004 i think i've got along way to go before i'm an expert in anything... despite what Chris may think by making me an expert member! It takes years of study to be an expert. Quote
Geoff T Posted May 23, 2004 Posted May 23, 2004 Assam or Darjeeling and the occasional Earl Grey. No sugar ever and no milk if it's my favourite single estate Earl Grey.Strong black coffee about once a day, no sugar and NEVER instant. Instant coffee is banned from my house. Quote

Geoffs right, instant just does not cut it! Quote
TomGoodheart Posted May 27, 2004 Posted May 27, 2004 Coffee please. Not instant - that's just something that rhymes with spit.Espresso (lots of sugar, not stirred, just sat at the bottom of the cup) or cappuccino. Filtered is ok with cream.Tea? Earl Grey. Quote
Guest Guest Posted May 28, 2004 Posted May 28, 2004 How can you hate tea. The British have survived on it for centuries!!!!!!!!!!! Quote
Half Penny Jon Posted May 28, 2004 Posted May 28, 2004 That was me (I forgot to log on when I was using a different computer in I.T) Quote
Geoff T Posted May 28, 2004 Posted May 28, 2004 Am I the only one here who hates the stuff? I think it's something you grow into. At your age my children never touched tea and coffee, but now in their late teens and early twenties they drink gallons of tea.(Yes - this is my 200th posting, but I'm being very grown up and not drawing attention to it ) Quote
Aethelred Posted June 1, 2004 Posted June 1, 2004 Its tea for me, without it I would die of thirst! Quote
