I drink coffee every day and tea occasionally. I used to drink between 6 and 8 mugs of coffee a day, but GERD has me down to one lovely cup, sometimes two if I'm adventurous lol 😆 I usually have my coffee with hazelnut creamer. It's so addicting!
I drank tea with my mother and grandmother growing up, but once I was out of the house I preferred coffee. A few years ago a friend gave me a Teá Forte steeping cup for loose teas and it's very nice. I've tried quite a few if the companies teas (uber expensive) and really like their raspberry ganache. It's a dessert tea so it's only an occasional indulgence.

Christmas Day and the first night of Hanukkah fall on the same day this year, so I will be at my daughter's opening presents during the day and then lighting the menorah that night. Looking forward to spending time with everyone 😀

Hello cafe,

I hope this finds everyone doing alright. SF is here to give each other support, so if you're not okay ask for help, for a talk, for hugs, etc.

Angie said, "...the question is:"

Coffee or tea?
Milk, sugar or creamer?


Err, I'm a bit fussy about tea. I drink tea in the early morning, coffee the rest of the day. Madura organic, which I have to have shipped over here. I take my tea plain, usually. Sometimes a splash of whole milk. I'm allergic to tree nuts and soybeans, so it is organically produced local cow's milk for me.

I drink coffee too, usually a half-caf blend. When out doing errands I like to get a flat white if it's from a medium roast coffee and a good barista.

I never have cared for coffee so tea by far. I do admit it is merely the brewed and unsweetened variety that abounds all through Texas so nothing special or fancy, just plain iced tea. :)
Iced tea is a good point. But I have to say, mom used instant iced tea and I thought that was good stuff growing up lol
In my late teens early 20s I discovered brewed iced tea and never looked back. Also, real sugar in my iced tea.

I tend to prefer coffee, but I don't normally drink just plain coffee. I like to get a flavored latte or whatever else sweet and fun. I do drink tea as well sometimes, but not usually just plain black tea. I like different types and flavors. I tend to prefer iced because I find them easier to drink, but it can also be really cozy to have a hot beverage when it's cold out.
Christmas is a little rough for me since I am not able to spend it with my family because my dad doesn't want to see me. I signed up to work 3-11 PM on Christmas Day so I wouldn't just be thinking about how alone I am. I'm hoping they'll feed us because in 2022 we got a really nice dinner, then in 2023, someone from another department brought us leftover cold pizza (which is definitely better than nothing, and I'm really grateful to the person who brought us that, but it's kinda weird that the company gave us something my first year and not my second.)

Both, I tend to drink coffee through the day, and tea closer to bedtime. No sugar (I’m diabetic), but I found an unsweetened “half and half” made from almond and coconut milk that I like in both.

I’m on a ton of different medications that make me sleepy, so the caffeine is very welcome. It helps me keep something resembling a regular schedule.
