Medium roast breakfast blend, fresh ground coffee with a spoonful of honey, a sprinkling of cinnimon, and 1/2 & 1/2 creamer. :D

I can't stand tea. However, I'll occasionally drink coffee, preferably not black.

Honey? Really? I can't imagine honey in coffee. Though if you promise me it won't be icky, I'll give it a try - because otherwise, the Latte Eutrusca sounds pretty good. :)

Have your tried ALL the blends before you judged? I think not, there are a LOT of blends.

"Latte Eutrusca!" LOL! :D

I prefer honey because the body can handle it much better than it can handle processed sugar. The taste is a bit different, but it's easy to get use to. :)

BTW ... I usually sprinkle the cinnimon on top of the coffee grounds right in the brewer. That way you don't get the flakes of cinnimon in your cup. :)

English breakfast tea, everything else is normally too weak. However, i haven't tried all of them. And, i have to give in to a mocha every now and then

I prefer tea, but drink both. When I'm at a coffee shop, I get hot chocolate, every time :D

mmmmm, the latter is a good idea. All this talk about coffee makes me want to break out the coffee maker and brew some! Ever try putting whip cream on top and eating it off with a spoon? Quite a different experience!

Whipped cream? Hmm. I'll have to try that! Sounds interesting. :)

Why is there an I love all of the above option? I like all of those options, plus hot and cold herbal teas. It all completely depends on my mood and the weather.

And not only is honey in coffee different, but it's better too! You can get specialist honies made in from different flowers and from different regions of the world. Heather honey is great as is Caribbean honey. It's another way to add subtle fragrences and flavours to the drink. Processed white cane sugar is just for people who need to have everything they have sweetened. I bet they don't even appreciate a nice dark bitter chocolate.

I enjoy coffee much more then tea. Especially coffee that is flavored with vanilla, white chocolate, or caramel.

Coffee is awesome, provided it has the right amount of sugar and creamer. Black coffee tastes like warmed-over shit. Tea isn't exactly my cup of tea (pun intended), but iced tea pwns.

Tea rocks my socks. However, I had to go for coffee. Creamer ruins it. Coffee should stay black, that's why it comes that way. :D

Tea. Black, strong, with one or two spoons of sugar (depends on the size of the cup)

I absolutely hate coffee. I can't stand the smell, let alone the taste.

Coffee, though with stuff added. Plain coffee and tea just don't appeal to me. Not much real flavor.

Putting crap in your coffee takes the flavor out. That's why black is so much better.

I like both. I prefer Seattle's best Henry's Blend coffee, fresh ground, two sugars and milk. For tea, I prefer Twinings darjeeling, no sugar.

You people need real coffee. Coffee with flavor, then you'll appreciate it more black. Tea still owns, though.

Proper tea. Hot, in a mug.

None of this iced tea business.

I drink both-it depends what mood I'm in.

So far, I've had two mugs of Earl Grey tea today. Tomorrow at this time, I'll likely be finishing off pot #1 of coffee.

I drink either with just a shot of milk.

I like both; I tend to have coffee in the morning to wake me up, and tea the rest of the day.

Tea has 52%... we are missing a lot of Americans telling us that tea, like anything that is only popular outside of the US, is terrible.

Coffee smells good but I don't like the tase at all. I drink in when someone gives me a cup out of courtesy.

I like all types of tea usually with sweetener or honey.

Actually if I have a choice I'll drink fruit juice or water.

Tea: yuck

Coffee: the only way to go. A good cup of espresso goes any time of the day (or a double espresso in the morning: luvly)

I was in the grocery store today, and do you know, in my nice AMERICAN grocery store, the tea section was about the same size as the coffee section, and there were definitely more choices in it. You're assuming that tea isn't popular in the US, and not only is it popular, it's becoming trendy in some cases. Particularly green tea is "in". Even white tea is becoming widely available.

I personally prefer a nice stable black tea. Earl Grey, English Breakfast, or etc. with just a bit of sugar. I have a "Mr Coffee" iced tea maker (yes, Mr Coffee has an Iced Tea Maker product... further proof of tea popularity in the US....) I make hot tea in it, not iced, and drink the first few cups, and refrigerate the rest for iced tea. It makes a good clean hot tea, and hits the bags just as it's precipitating back down from its steam form, so it gets all the yummy goodness out of the tea. I even have a plastic "coffee filter" (NOT paper) in which I put loose tea to make an even better tea. A bit of sugar, and *poof* you've got the nectar of life.

Oh, and coffee is evil.
