Tea or coffee?

[Holyzeus]

Yorkshire de-caff tea after work
About 6/7 cups of coffee at work

Whilst I do like the occasional coffee, it has to be decaf or it sends me funny. I prefer tea as a moor regular drink but don't drink it religiously every day. When I do drink it, it's more often than not Yorkshire tea.

Prefer tea, SD Bells, Belfast, better known as the Belfast Brew, have it very regularly at work, dash of milk no sugar!

Tried millions of coffees but Rave’s Italian blend is my favourite. Several espressos each day. The missus likes cappuccinos.

Tea of course! Must you ask? A spot of TGFOP English Breakfast from Kent and Sussex Tea and Coffee Company really hits the spot as does their Dekorai Single Estate Assam plus I'm rather fond of Rose Congou, Russian Samovar and Earl Grey from time to time. But as I'm a bit hard up, I lower my expectations and generally cope just fine by slumming it with the rather excellent Ringtons Northumbrian Blend loose leaf which punches far above it price point. A Yorkshire Tea bag in a mug suffices if needs must but that's as low as I will stoop.

Tea in morning, coffee later done either on a Gaggia or if being really lazy I use the Aeropress.

Coffee.
I use Dalla Corte Mini and Bacchi Espresso machines. Sometimes I go for Bialetti Brikka and Alessi Pulcina moka(s).

The Alessi is a nice one. Also waiting for some gaskets to rebuild my la Pavoni Europiccola lever machine.

Beautiful machine.

Both! Tends to be Coffee in the Morning and Tea at any other time of day.
Coffee, freshly ground beans..strong usually cafetiere and with raw milk or cream.
Tea has to be strong Assam with Milk or Earl Grey. Also love me some Barry's Tea, Yorkshire and PG if I am having bags though these day I am drinking loose leaf.
I only became a Coffee lover a few years ago..but I was born with a Mug of Tea in my hand.

Nothing too fancy, I favour M&S Ceylon but also enjoy their Darjeeling in the evening. I struggle with coffee as I do enjoy it but find it very addictive, if I drink it two days in a row and then abstain on the third day I'll get a splitting headache so try to keep them to a minimum.

Beautiful machine.

Thank you. I used to have an Italian made machine that looked even better but was as reliable as a 1970s Alfasud made on a Friday afternoon.

Espresso, no sugar. Two per day.
If cappuccino, only during breakfast.

At the moment I have a simple Illy Francis-Francis X7.1 at home, it is doing an OK job.
When I finally get settled into a new location/place I plan to buy a La Marzocco or a Rocket and pair it with a Mahlkönig grinder.

Tea is usually TWG or some special 10-year aged that I have purchased in China.
Ronnefeldt when I want the easy solution (tea bags).
Plenty of camomile drinking, too (after 11pm or especially during long haul flights).
