[SweetyPie2006]

It's taken me years to find a coffee to my exact taste!

The best for me is Nescafe Black Gold, and I make it with 2 sugars (or sweeteners if I'm being good) and just a little milk to change the colour. Don't like it TOO milky

[Gig ghosts]

Heat a mugful of milk in a pan. Add to coffee. 2 sugars. Leave to cool a bit. Extract film/skin from surface and eat. Thanks very much!

[Bex_123]

Tea, bit of milk and no sugar.

Coffee, as far away from me as possible please

[annette kurten]

i only drink tea if it`s very good leaf, breakfast blend and in a pot either a tiny drop of milk, no sugar or lemon tea.

coffee, fresh, strong, black and no sugar and either sumatra/el salvador blend or just sumatra.

i get both from a fantastic man on the market who really knows his stuff and will blend anything, perfectly, to your description.

i`m partial to liqueur coffees too.

[noise747]

Don't drink tea that much these days as it makes me feel sick, i used to have it black, no sugar, but if I do have tea now it is normally with milk, but still no sugar.

Coffee, I normally drink black, no sugar and normally espresso, i try not to use instant, but if I do it is Dowe Egberts and or Sainsburys gold.


I also enjoy a Latte as well, which I normally make myself, but I have also got dolce gusto and Tassimo machines, which makes a ok cup of coffee if i need one quick. Better than instant anyway, but not as good as the Gaggia Espresso machine


Talking of which, I am not going to go and make a espresso in my espresso machine, double shot

[Ancient IDTV]

I don't drink coffee, because it gives me the runs and makes my face puff up.

Tea....... I only drink decaf. now., with a small amount of skimmed milk, no sugar.

[bowland37]

Tea: Asda chosen by you tea bags or if I'm in Aldi the diplomat ones are good, one level ts sugar and a decent amount of semi skimmed milk in a smallish mug. I preheat the mug as well and then let it brew about 5 mins. Milk in last of course.

Coffee: Gold blend or Carte Noire depending on what's on offer. A heaped teaspoon with a decent amount of milk added before boiling water. No sugar.

I tend to start the day with a few mugs of tea and then progress to coffee by midday.

[Indigo Louise]

The best fresh ground coffee I have ever come across is Sainsbury's own continental blend - it comes in a purple bag - really reasonable and delicious.

I very rarely take instant but if stuck in work without a machine, nescafe azera isn't a bad alternative.

You're the only other person I know who likes their coffee like I do - weak and milky (or creamy!), with the smallest smidgeon of sugar. I've recently discovered Nescafe Cap Colombie, which is gorgeous!

I rarely drink tea, but when I do, I just introduce the tea bag to the hot water for a few seconds, then add 1 sugar and loads of lemon. I cannot stand tea with milk, and the smell is revolting, but I've been told that I make a really good cup of tea

[Jenbonjovi]

Decaf tea, black with no sugar.

Decaf coffee with a spoonfull of coffeemate and 1 brown sugar if I'm in the house, milk and 1 normal sugar if I'm in work.

[EastEnders-1105]

Dont drink Coffee

Milky Tea with 2 sugars

[molliepops]

Tea with a little milk, coffee no longer drink it.

[RAINBOWGIRL22]

Tea - Tetley, 2 sugars, semi skimmed milk, not too strong but not too milky!

Coffee - I never make my own. I only have it occasionally and will have a Latte but only from an independent type shop. Both Starbucks and Costa Latte's make me feel ill.

[Babycakes15]

Tea is black, teabag left in, no sugar. But lately all I've been drinking are green teas or peppermint, a lot nicer. Still leave the bag in

Coffee is a cappucino with sugarfree caramel syrup

Then you have not tasted much ground coffee than. Sainsburys coffee is ok, there is nothing wrong with as far as prepacked supermarket coffee goes. but that is the problem, they are roasted and ground miles away, maybe in another country, they are packed and left on the shelf and could be there for months, the best before date is over 12 months.

No way can that produce great coffee. i get most of my coffee from a local roaster, well localish, I still have to get it via mail order. The difference is amazing, sure it is a bit more expensive, but it is worth it.

I use http://www.jamesgourmetcoffee.com/ and i also use now and again http://www.thecoffeehopper.com/. i always buy the beans and grind them myself, they stay fresher.

I do buy prepacked coffee sometimes, if I am running out or i fancy a change, some of the Sainsburys taste the difference range is good and the Italian style in the By Sainsburys range is also nice. The problem with these prepacked coffee is that they are not fine enough for espresso machines unless you got one with a system that will cope with them, but that is cheating I replaced the filter and perfect crema device on my Gaggia for a normal filter more or less when I first got it.

Oh, for a real strong coffee, try Taylors Hot Java Lava, it is six on the scale.

[cold tootsies]

I never used to drink tea and drank one/ two black coffees a day but now I can't seem to stomach coffee at all and drink about 4 cups of tea a day.

I like the idea ( and smell) of coffee and then when I go to drink it, even a sip makes me feel sick .

Anyway, I drink loads of tea now. I have it medium strength ( preferably Yorkshire Gold/ PG Tips) with a good splash of milk.

I try to mix things up by having some herbal/ fruit teas sometimes too- liquorice, peppermint and lemon & ginger are all nice.

[fizzle90]

Strong tea, tiny splash of milk and two sugars

Milky coffee with two sugars

[amyawake]

I usually have mine in a cup!

[earthling13]

Tea has to be fresh, not brewed for ages, and just a slight dash of milk but no sugar.

Coffee fresh, black and a tiny amount of sugar.

[Imej]

Tea: Quite weak - no more than a minute stewing! 2 sugars and NO milk. Bleugh!

Coffee: 1 and a half sugars and milky.

Slight contrast there.

[pink star 28]

I only drink tea, I have it quite strong but quite milky, with 2 teaspoons of honey instead of sugar. My favourite tea is either Yorkshire or tetleys.

[RedRose9191]

I like my tea milky and sweet. Three sugars in usually and with lots of milk, to the point where it's not hot anymore, but just warm

I don't like strong coffee. My favourite coffee has to be a Starbucks latte with a shot of caramel made with whole milk. I like iced coffees too.

[fatsi]

Instant coffee, white and 1 sweetner. Filter coffee, black and 1 sweetner.

Don't drink tea.

[Johnnys Arcade]

I have never ever throughout my whole life ever made myself either a tea or coffee. Dislike them both, although I have enjoyed a quality coffee very rarely. I DO however like iced coffee. And as for putting sweeteners in coffee, now that really would make me puke!
