I never understood why it has to be one or the other.

Sometimes I prefer coffee, sometimes some green tea in the morning, sometimes a cup of matcha if I'm feeling fancy. A cup of lavender tea with honey in the evening can be pure bliss, but an Italian affogado (espresso with vanilla icecream) in the afternoon can also be really perfect.

Btw it is also possible to like cats AND dogs.

I am a software engineer. Coffee goes in, code comes out

Tea. Partially because it tastes better, but also partially because I have a low tolerance to caffeine. Drinking coffee just makes me feel jittery and shaky, not focused.

Keep your hot bean soup, I will drink my boiled landscape baggings.

Coffee all morning, because sleep. Iced tea all afternoon, because Atlanta.

I drink both. Coffee during the day, herbal tea right before bed, other teas as I feel like it. My favorite teas are ginger and chai.

Sugar in coffee is an abomination and I will die on this hill.

Coffee for me started as a utilitarian drink for extra focus in the early hours, and then I started liking it. Tea never really had a function for me, so I never got into it in the same way as I did with coffee.

Coffee in the morning and early afternoon.

Tea in the late afternoon.

Herbal tea at night.

Always black.

Tea all the way. I’m super sensitive to caffeine, so I even have to switch to decaf tea after noon or I’ll be up all night.

Love using herbs from my garden for tea in the evenings - lavender, lemon balm, peppermint, chamomile

Both. If I can get up before lunch I will have a morning tea, then an afternoon coffee, & often an even tea—or if I have access to mate or guayusa (difficult here).

I used to be a heavy diet soda drinker, but my body hasn’t been responding well to it with stomach cramps in recent years. I used to hate tea since sweet tea & Nestea was all that was on offer where I grew up. I developed a highfalutin tea taste accidently when one of my old apartments was near a coffee/tea shop I would go to after work where due to free water to resteep, tea was a better bargain for the caffeine & they only had really good loose leaf (I would just have the staff recommend me something new each time). My face when I first went to the UK, known for the tea-loving stereotypes, on business after developing a taste. I rolled into a random café with my newly acquired tea knowledge & asked what sorts of teas they had to the response of “black & green”, Naïvely, “Umm, okay. Where is your green tea from?” She lifts an object, looks me in the eye with a vocal eyeroll “this box”. Working-class tea is very different to what I accidently became accustomed to.

Coffee was the same where it was gross instant Folger’s on the grandparents’ breath growing up. I would occasionally order a latte or mocha (no sugar) just to break up the monotony of tea now in Thailand where outside of the northern region, there is little understanding of good tea (just a flavor to add to your condensed milk lol). But the indie coffeeshops with friendly baristas slowly over the course of many years taught me how to taste the variety single-origin coffees offer. I would say I now slightly prefer coffee since the flavor gamut is broader & I found stuff I truly enjoy finally.

For that reason tho, I keep the kettle at home for tea only since I can buy the good stuff in bulk inexpensively to handle myself whereas I keep the coffee for the cafés so I have a good excuse actually leave the home when I work remote.

I'm from a country that adores mint tea. I drink coffee.

Loose-leaf tea steeped in a gaiwan, which ever tea leaves I happen to have.

I am so oversensitive to caffeine, that I tend to lose my sleep if I drink even a cup of coffee a day. So, if I drink coffee, I prefer decaf. There are some good decaf coffees nowadays.

Mostly only drink tea while I'm sick. I drink coffee every day getting up with my wife, but I'd rarely drink it on my own.

A few weeks ago my wife went out of town for a long weekend and I had the most persistent headache that wouldn't go away. When she came back, it went away as soon as I started drinking coffee with her and I realized it was caffeine withdrawal. I hate being physically dependent on coffee, but it's a big part of our morning ritual.

Never liked coffee. I usually drink Yorkshire tea in the morning, but sometimes mix it up with other black teas. If I drink any during the day, it’s green tea. Evenings are for herbal teas if I have any.

Coffee is just too bitter for me unless I overload it with way more cream and sugar than is healthy. At that point all the caffeine and sugar makes me way too jittery. On the other hand, I enjoy drinking tea black, so tea it is.

Coffee. Tea gives me a stomachache. I love the flavor of tea but I never have the willpower to stop steeping it after however many minutes you're supposed to steep it

Tea. Yorkshire. Hot.

I like both quite a bit, and even got into the hobby culture for each.

Tea is simpler in preparation, but way more complex in terms of varieties. There is a huge difference between a chinese black tea and an assam black tea, even though its the same core ingredient, prepared in a similar fashion.

Coffee on the other hand has fewer varieties, but way more variables in preparation that can drastically change the flavor of your cup. The size of your grind, the brew temperature and the extraction time all have pretty major effects on thr end product.

I've been quite coffee dependent ever since about age 16. Sometimes I like to take a week off, facilitated by a massive two litre teapot. In summer, iced tea is my crutch of choice.

Tea always. I mean, coffee sometimes, but my go-to is tea. Yorkshire Gold, 2 sugars, small splash of evaporated milk.

I have both coffee and tea in the mornings.

I have a way of brewing a pitcher of tea where I boil water in a saucepan, turn of the heat, steep up to 6 teabags the brand I use for 5 minutes, remove them, pour it into a large pitcher, then fill with water until full of freshly-brewed tea.

At least, that’s how I me and my Dad make it.

Coffee, 4-5 cups a day and usually one an hour or so before bed. It somehow helps me sleep…
