Coffee or Tea? Which do you prefer?

If there's something on your mind that just doesn't seem to fall into any of the other categories, well, it quite likely belongs inside Joe Finneman's marketplace. Think of it as a general store for general discussions!

I think we need a button for chocolate milkshakes, due to the fact that I don't care for either above mentioned (in poll) beverage.

Well, since the discussion is not about other drinks, I understand the lack of the additional option...however I am completely with you--chocolate milkshakes = YUM YUM YUM!! I want one now...

I definitely prefer tea over coffee, i can handle a few sips of coffee, but I usually don't like it. Tea :inlove: Iced is the best! I also love peach tea or raspberry zinger tea. Something that we drink alot is Iced green tea with lemon in it. yum! Our family drinks a lot of tea :)

I think iced tea is a completely different beverage than normal tea from tea bags. The iced tea here isn't even made out of tea bags, it's just some sugar powder stuff you mix with water and then drink. I don't know if iced tea is different in the USA. I like hot mint tea with no sugar better than coffee.

There's definitely instant iced tea here, but normally my family makes iced tea from tea bags. :- Boil water, let the tea bags steep, and then either refrigerate or pour directly over ice. \:D/

It depends upon the quality of the tea/coffee. I'm a bit of a tea snob, and only drink coffee when I need to stay up to do a project.

I've never really enjoyed either, but just recently I discovered a newfound interest in decaf Earl Grey. :D

We make our iced tea from tea bags, or like I said before, the Iced green tea. It's definitely a different drink than the powdered stuff.

They're not exactly comparable. I chose tea, thought, because I drink that more often than coffee.

Regrettably, I am one of those people! Mocha is like coffee's gateway drug, one day you are innocuously drinking hot chocolate and the next you are wondering why your energy level is so high and your savings account is dwindling. :(

At this point, if I don't have my delicious, morning espresso-based drink, I am pretty much useless at work. If it is after noon-ish, I'll drink tea. I love PG Tips and Good Earth Original Blend as well as Bigelow's Earl Grey. The black teas are really good with milk and the herbal teas with a little bit of raw honey. Drip filter coffee is manageable with Coffeemate in it (which, used liberally enough, can basically disguise the taste of gasoline). ;)

Coffee. Definitely. I've loved the taste of coffee ever since I was a little kid.

Tea is nice once in a while or when I'm sick. Hot tea, that is.

Mmm. My new job as exam attendant allows me unlimited access to the kitchenette at school... which means unlimited tea, coffee and chocolate biscuits. \:D/
