Fresh coffee before midday - Asda do a beeeyooootiful fresh coffee from Colombia (may need to find out if Asda will deliver to Aus
) and only have fresh coffee in the house.
Tea after midday -strong and white. For some strange reason, I can't bear the smell of tea in the morning
After 5pm it's wine all the way

Good grief!! Teapot, my good man, Teapot. You can't beat the taste when it's made properly.You'll guess I'm a tea fiend - I rather like PG Tips actually, with a dunkable biscuit (which rather shoots my posh argument down in flames!
)So, which is the best dunkable biscuit? - I'd say a digestive or a ginger snap!

Re: Are you a Tea or Coffee person?
My word there sure are a lot of fussy tea drinkers on 'ere........me.....anything hot and wet with no sugar or milk for me.Rooibos(red bush),jasmine,green well just about anything but strangely not partial to "normal" tea and any coffee except extra strong sh@t like espresso.Apparently Australians are amongst the highest coffee consumers in the world,and I must admit when I'd finished both my trips there I was seriously coffee-ed out with teeth floating in caffeine!

Tea and coffee equally as good. Both no sugar and so strong you can stand the spoon upright in them

On my fourth cup of coffee like that this morning, only way I can cope with working during the day, this isn't natural for me being awake in daylight, I think I must really be an owl or a vampire or something

Coffee in the morning; tea after dinner in the cold weather......

Re: Are you a Tea or Coffee person?
Obviously I'm posh being from Edinburgh and Em is all Jamie Oliver innit! Tea for her and both for me. Em will enjoy a coffee out but doesn't even have instant in the house. I quite like instant coffee.......
As you would expect, there is a whole rigmarole to making tea for Em, only to be expected her being a woman.

I only drink coffee when I am out as nobody in the whole universe makes as good a cup of tea as me and it has to be Twinnings English Breakfast Tea.
Don't drink coffee at home, but why should I when I make an awesome cuppa

Re: Are you a Tea or Coffee person?
Used to be coffee, strong coffee, now it's tea all the way, but the tea is so weak over here that I leave the bag in whilst I drink! When I drank Coles cheap brand I had to use two teabags and leave them in!!! (And I don't drink strong tea!) Any recommendations? I'm currently using Tetley Big Cup but it's weak as too!?

Had he just popped round to see if you were ok?
Coffee. Just coffee, freshly brewed, strong and black. Try to limit it to 2 a day; quality not quantity. Very rarely a soy latte from a coffee shop as most can't make decent black coffee.
I've never been a tea drinker although occasionally drink a herbal or green tea. Or make my own by steeping goji berries.
