Coffee or tea?

[craig1985]

What is preference and if you or the bunch you ride in (if you do ride in one or assuming you ride at all) when the obligatory coffee stop appears. I have to say for me it's a flat white. Latte's are just dire IMO.

Vote away!

I can enjoy a good cup of strong black coffee; but all that shit that you get at a Starbucks with more milk than coffee is just disgusting.

Tea is clearly the best, it comes in so many different tastes and aromas. It's always delicious and soothing. Tea clearly wins. Sadly liking tea, or saying that you enjoy drinking tea, has gotten a very bad name in the Netherlands over the past three months or so. I find myself even feeling a little embarrased whenever I walk towards a cashier with darjeeling or rooibos or whatever in my hands these days

Yes. Very suspect. Although the logo in your avatar saves you.

Coffee it is, for me. Unashamed caffeine addict.

I don't understand the connection, not being Dutch. Must be something political since Holland recently had an election. My guess anyway.

I voted tea as well, though I'm no fan of Indian teas as they contain milk. I don't like the taste of tea with milk. Tea for me should be without sugar, though if I want a bit of sweetness to go with an herbal tea a touch of honey will do.

It's odd how the palate adapts. At first I thought Green Tea was quite strong and needed some sweetness to soften the taste but now I have no problems drinking it plain.

Your guess is correct. Has to do with one of the rambling pronouncements from our local village idiot.

Physicians will tell you that protine equal to a glass of milk will aid recovery from hard race or ride. they now tell you that caffine is good for glycogen recovery.
Then they tell us caffeen will prevent rehydration.
they also tell us that antioxidents in tea is good.

large mug of strong white coffe for me .

You would have to pay me to drink at Starbucks and we don't have any in my town/city.

 

[Elverde]

Tea, but genuine Chinese tea, preferably Jasmine.

Coffee drinker, espresso preferred.

Since I don't like milk (or sugar) in my coffee, I can assure you that the star$$$ is disgusting without milk as well... Bitter & Burnt.

You're drinking a brand, or a logo certainly not coffee

PS>congrats with your party's results.

I've got coffee with milk, no sugar. Then there are those days where tea satisfies.

In my house, you have a choice of two coffees and four teas - I would have voted for cobras, but I prefer cougars.

 

[pedaling squares]

Deja vu. The cobra option is a nice touch though.

 

[Magnus]

Coffee.

Preferably with a little can of hot milk on the side because that would mean I'm in France

 

[titan_90]

 

[quadsRme]

Coffee, preferably espresso. A few shots usually does the trick.
No milk or sugar, that ruins the coffee. Certainly no STARBU$$$

 

[zapata]

black coffee, no milk. only drink tea when I've had too much coffee and ruined my stomach.. either espresso, from my little bialetti stove top, or old school "kokmalt". which is simply boiling water in a kettle, add coarsly ground coffee, and wait seven minutes.

 

[RedheadDane]

Coffee, anything... I don't really care as long as it contains kaffeine!
Had a period where I drank so much coffee I was shaking!

(Hmm... are you surprised I voted for coffee? With my sig? )

 

[titan_90]

I enjoy coffee by far more than tea but, I do love a pot of Oolong tea every once in awhile.

Coffee wise, black and no sugar and preferably single origin no blends. I also enjoy an espresso or a Cappuccino every once in a while. My favorites are Tanzanian Peaberry, Guatemalan and Columbian. I absolutely love Sumatran but they are not all created equal, my favorite Sumatran is Sumatra Mandheling from Fiddlheads Coffee.

Is this a trick question?For me its COFFEE and only coffee...."Tea is for tri- atheletes"

 

[Spare Tyre]

Coffee. I love it, and am blessed with a choice of 50 (more?) restaurants and cafes within 1-2 km from home. My preference is for skim milk cafe latte, at least the way it is made in Melbourne. In Bali, I prefer the locally grown coffee, without milk.

Starbucks is horrible.

I go through phases with tea drinking: sometimes Indian teas, sometimes herbal teas. In the past couple of years I have taken to dandelion tea, and have some most days.

 

[Claudiu]

Coffee. Black. Two cups. Simple and large, no little sweet milky moccacino, capuccino, al-pacino, or whatever for me. Umm...although i prefer a vodka to shake me up in the morning, but i shall stick to the choices given.
