Coffee or Tea

Moccona at work, plunger at home.

As a coffee roaster I rarely drink more than two cups a day Most people who find out what my job is are surprised, I guess people assume if you have near-unlimited access to coffee that you're going to be living on it!

I love both coffee and tea, but coffee's too strong as a regular drink. I'll generally go a coffee in the morning, and then a few cups of tea for the rest of the day. As for instant, the less said about it the better. Anyone who actually likes instant coffee (puke) obviously hasn't had a decent cup of the real stuff. And I don't mean from some **** franchise, find a quality, independent cafe with a barista that knows what they're doing, who also gets beans from a small boutique roaster

Do any of you folk drink instant coffee? Big fan of International Roast here..

[Disco LT]

Yeah, serious. I know it's considered to be floor sweepings to most coffee lovers, but I do like it and always keep a tin in the house. Probably the first coffee I ever drank. Robert Timms isn't bad..

[=beast=]

i started with instant then moved to plunger...just cant go back.

then i got a nesspresso machine! damn its good

I have a coffee with breakfast and thats it. depending on where i am, i may have one in the afternoon from a shop or something

i just find the caffine makes me unstable and irratable in the afternoon if i have it while sitting at the computer.

I roast my own. There simply is no coffee like the stuff you roast yourself at any coffee place anywhere.

I get hard over south american coffee, ethiopian is a particular fave, few indian coffees (monsoon malabar is just 'funk in a cup' it shouldn't even be called coffee),





in-built Miele coffee machine (because I used to work for them) tweaked a little for better grind, better brew time - valiantly grants me frappuccinos too. (myself and my brother downed some 4L of frappuccino last weekend. I heart.)


At one point I had some 100Kg of unroasted coffee at my place - it's so much cheaper than buying any other coffee too.

nespresso capsule, $1-2 each?, I pay $5-7 per Kilo of coffee that makes nespresso taste like dishwater (that's I lie, I actually love nespresso caps & the nespresso machines are perfect for people that might only have one cup per day, the machines are bullet proof)

so yeah - I freakin love my coffee. Once I started roasting, I'll never buy pre-roasted again. I still buy coffee every morning before work but it's just not the same

[BBlunt]

I try and stick to just cup of coffee per day.

Coffee, coffee, coffee, coffee.

Has anyone tried an Aeropress?

heard lots of good stuff about it for what it is

[Disco LT]

Tea, Earl Grey, Hot.

If we had a rep system, I would totally +1 you for that

[Novocaine]

Don't really drink either. Except I've started drinking ice tea during the day at work. Seems better for you than soft drink and cheaper than Gatorade. Just need to get used to that herby after taste and I'm set.

[MuscularTeeth]

im evenly divided between the two. im here at work with a coffee.

though i have a large variety of weird tea strains. some from china, africa, india, canada, russia and so on.
for my though earl grey is my favorite.

[BurntToast]

Im sitting here with the shakes, i rarely get asthma but right now ive got the wheezes so bad i sound like an outtake of star wars special effects, I cant decide if my head is going to implode or explode, yet these first few sips of my giant mug of tea are sooooooooo soothing.

[Disco LT]

I should try Earl Grey.. I want to be like Piccard.
