I don't digest Coffee well, first thing in the morning. Though, I still prefer Tea. Saying that, i'am getting bored of Tea. I'm looking for alternatives.
Instant coffee. Never found that the aroma of fresh coffee is matched in the delivery of the taste experience. And I can't be doing with kitchen coffee gadgets that require replacement cartridges, - I have enough hassle keeping the printer stocked with toner.
TEA and only loose tea will do, no Tea Bags full of dust. I have a small teapot and use an old fashioned teastrainer.
When in Army it was no good saying "No Sugar" as all tea was served ready made in huge Tea Urn with Milk and Sugar already in. Coffee was unheard of, the Army marched on Tea.
Tea issued to Guard Room for Overnight Duty was Tea Leaves ,Milk Powder and Sugar mixed together usually in a washed out Fruit Tin. Any left over was gratefully kept for us Policemen to have during the day. I thought we were the inventors of Tea Bags, as we used to use this Tea Mixture dipped and strained using a Bandage out of the First Aid Kit kept in the Guardroom. It was only by looking it up years later on my PC that I found out teabags were invented many years before I was protecting you and yours whilst doing my bit "Fighting For Queen and Country" at the Army School Of Education.:)

This reminded me of an incident some years ago when - at a place I used to work - it was break-time and everyone was making their brews. During which one guy said to another "Hey Roy, have you seen those new tea-bags with coffee in 'em?"
Mr H brings me a cup of tea in bed every morning. Once up, I have one coffee - just one all day. After that it's tea all day. If I'm just making tea for myself, I prefer loose tea in a tea-pot as it's cheaper and nicer. Put tea in before the milk. Never have sugar in either tea or coffee. Oh and it's full fat milk in coffee and semi-skimmed in tea.

Tea is disgusting.
I have a civil partnership with my Nespresso machine.
I've never had coffee.
I'm another one who cannot stand the smell or taste of tea.
Coffee I couldn't live without. I don't function without a cup first thing.
