gotta try coffee.  Seriously.  And if you don't like it, try better coffee.  Get raerae to help.

Why though? Serious question, I've pretty much never tried coffee and it seems like a terrible
habit to learn.

I like pretty much any tea with honey, but that might be more telling about how I like honey.

I dislike both Coffee and Tea. Hot Chocolate is about the only hot drink I drink.

Me too.  I've tried both coffee and tea, and dislike them both.

There are many different kinds of teas. Are you sure you dislike them all?

All the types I've tried (and sniffed), I haven't liked.  They all seem to have some taste I don't like.

I mean, I might be way too much into teas, but I totally think that you should try at least any white tea, any gunpowder tea, any sencha or maccha, any African green tea, Lapsang Souchong and either Ceylon, Darjeeling or Keemun before deciding that you dislike tea. Also, make sure that they are properly prepared, and try adding milk to Ceylon and Darjeeling, and sugar or honey to all of these. Oh, and avoid Lipton at all costs.

I've been making a conscious effort to be less of a dick online recently. I find that it's very easy to rip apart words someone has written, but I've been trying to remember they represent someone else's thoughts, beliefs, ideas, things resulting from cat walking on keyboard, questions, problems or otherwise. And so rather than giving snarky or rude replies to dumb questions, ludicrous ideas or implausible beliefs I've been more careful about how I word things. And it's a little less fun, maybe, but I think it makes a positive difference.

As I learn to accept and love others exactly where they are so I begin to accept and love myself exactly where I am.

My dad read a book called The Anatomy of Peace, and it was saying that one of the biggest causes of problems between people is "objectifying", where we think of others as objects, instead of people, and how we will use that to justify our decisions against others.

I love coffee but have no further interest in caffeine. Tea is boring except on occasion where I prefer bold and spicy. I am a huge fan of water and root beer, the real thing, not the high fructose artificial colored and flavored garbage. Chocolate is simply put, the best stuff on the planet. The less crap you add to the cocoa the better.

Black Tea. I like most black teas, most white teas, most oolongs. I dislike most green teas.

The biggest problem people who dislike tea have is they:
1) brewed green tea with water near boiling
2) brewed black tea with water that was NOT near/at boiling.
3) got within 10 feet of a microwave during any point of the brewing process.

My Grandma was British, so making black tea correctly for me consists of boiling water in a kettle, brewing it strong* in a tea pot and putting milk in the teacup BEFORE pouring the tea. One lump of sugar or a few drops of honey on special occasions.

The ritual of making tea is one of the best parts of tea.

* I've noticed that American branded pre-bagged teas are almost always portioned to brew weak tea. Which is strange for a country that likes our coffee strong....

This isnt a british thing....in fact the opposite is that this is a British thing to argue about, which order

I had a poll round my team only a month ago and most preferred making the tea THEN putting the milk in

Tea made in a Mug > Milk After > adding milk reduces the brewing temperature.

Tea in a pot > Milk in Cup first

This is correct.
It also helps you get the colour right by adding the milk after

Everything is so much simpler if you just drink Chinese tea without milk.

Pah, clearly wrong. We had to invade them to make sure the tea was done properly (oh and something something opium as well)

I've been to America once. I had coffee. It was VERY watered down. Seriously. Come to Sweden and we'll show you how to make nice and strong coffee.

Does anyone else wonder if Tables knows Chairs in real life?

Especially posts that don't warrant a lengthy discussion.

I'll start with: Tsunami Bomb - Take The Reigns would make a great song for Guitar Hero.

60 pages in and look where we are now!

I love coffee, tea, and hot chocolate, but I'm a bit particular.

I only like my coffee latte'd, macchiato'd, frappucino'd, or otherwise drowned in sugar and cream. I usually like my tea (green tea is my favorite) untainted, maybe a bit of honey at the most. No tea bags please.
